Re "Coastal Project Ruling Delayed," Oct. 10:
After endless delays, the California Coastal Commission is still not satisfied. It's not enough for commission staff to squeeze every ounce of blood out of Headlands Reserve, the property owner of the Headlands. They want body parts. The developer has already given up almost 90 acres of his 121 acres to open space, habitat area, parks, trails and community amenities that set this project apart from other developments.
How much more will the developer have to give up before the project becomes economically infeasible and this magnificent property becomes more and more degraded?
The plan that went before the commission Oct. 9 may have been the last best chance to save the Headlands.
When Headlands Reserve faces the commission in January, I hope reason prevails. More delays and changes will not only risk the protection of the endangered species, but also risk draining the very essence and spirit that made this project unique.
