in It's also worth noting the Environmental Report in this Board Meeting Packet says a biologist visited the equestrian center April 10, 2023 and an arborist visited on May 3, 2023 as part of the environment analysis of the new East Arena plan. So the new East Arena plan had actually been finalized late 2022 or early 2023. The biologist and arborist visits for the report were well before our May 31, 2023 email asking if there are any developments. Yet we were told nothing, until a year later. Bottom line: The HOAs only learned about all this in May 2024. We find the secretive process and lack of good -faith negotiation used by CRPD the past 1.5 years to be unacceptable. Finally, the fourth topic is the West Arena. • We have been informed that discussions about a West Arena lighting project are now on indefinite hold. The original obnoxious proposal in Nov -2021 was six 50 ft poles with 3 sports type LED light fixtures on each pole to light an arena that is only about 80 ft from Lynn Road, and near many of our homes. And it's about twice the size of a normal equestrian arena. • If that type of West Arena proposal is ever reintroduced in the future, our opposition effort will involve mobilizing significant homeowner action including: sending communications to CRPD and City Council, submitting letters to local newspapers, objecting at CRPD Board and City Council meetings, potentially picketing the equestrian center, etc. • We would also work with whoever is elected this November as the Newbury Park Representative to the CRPD Board to oppose the project. • The opposition effort would also involve utilizing attorneys to stop the project by various legal means. • We are hopeful CRPD and Ride -On will not ever propose the West Arena lighting project again, but we'll monitor the situation and be ready if that happens.
