Re: TVPOA Withdrawal of Application
Dear Dennis:
It is with considerable disappointment Haat on behalf of TVPt7A, T must respectfully
withdraw our application for a general Plan Amendment and related 'development
entitlements in Contra Costa County, We have worked with you and your Staff over the
last several years and we commend all of your efforts at comprehensive planning for the
region.
Unfortunately, Supervisor Donna Gerber has made it very clear to us and the community
that she does not support our project,and Erased upon the:strength of the position taken by
the Supervisor of our district, regrettably the TVPOA; project does not have political
viability.
To continue the environmental review process, public hearings, and public discussion on
a project that is no lvngcr viable would be counter-productive to the County and the
constituent landowners of TVP0A, For this reason, we respectfully withdraw our
application.
Very truly yours,
Jams . Black
Prc+jet Manager,TVPtA
