Study Says Project’s Effects Remediable
A proposed 340-acre resort and housing development would have dozens of significant effects, but all but one could be remedied by the project’s developers, according to an environmental study.
The only effect noted in the draft report that couldn’t be resolved would be light and glare from ball fields that might be built on the 31 acres set aside for a park as part of the Saggion Hills project.
Denver-based developer Don Beauregard also proposes 48 homes, a 100-room spa, 2 1/2 acres for affordable housing and 45 acres reserved for vineyards and olive groves.
Beauregard also included public hiking trails in the plan and has sold a 53-acre parcel called Fox Pond to the Sonoma County Agricultural Preservation and Open Space District.
