  Hello Andy and Steven,

  I apologize for my delay in responding to your question.

  Monterey, CA 93940

  Dear Ms. Beck

  I am the President of Save Tarpey Flats, a non-profit corporation dedicated to preserving Tarpey

  Flats as Open Space. We have nearly 250 local households as members. Our members are

  primarily from Fisherman’s Flats, Deer Flats, Jacks Peak, Oak Tree Lane, Monterra and Tehama. Our goal

  is to purchase and preserve these historic lands and have them preserved through the Big Sur

  Land Trust.

  Our organization participated in the hearings on the Monterey County Housing Element before

  both the Monterey County Planning Commission and Board of Supervisors to object to

  development on Tarpy Flats and successfully removed Tarpy Flats from the County RHNA plan.

  We raised many concerns and were able to convince the County that building on these lands is

  ill-advised.

  We understand that you are interested in building a 100-unit housing development on Tarpy

  Flats.

  We would like the opportunity to discuss purchasing these lands with the intent that we would

  transfer ownership to the Big Sur Land Trust.

  I would be happy to meet with you at your convenience. Please reply via email to

  savetarpyflats@gmail.com.
