Subject: Opposition to the Proposed Development at Tarpy Flats
Dear XXX,
I’m writing as a concerned resident and supporter of preserving the natural beauty and safety of Monterey County. I urge you to oppose the proposed high-density development at Tarpy Flats.
This area holds environmental, historical, and community value that would be
irreparably harmed by large-scale construction. In addition to the threat to open space and rural character, this project raises serious safety concerns—particularly increased fire risk, traffic congestion on already burdened roads, and evacuation challenges in an emergency. Our infrastructure and water resources are already under strain.
Please stand with residents and protect what makes Monterey special. Say no to this development.
Sincerely,
[Your Full Name]
