Letter: Stop the Hotel

Dear Preserve Malibu,

As I will be unavailable at the time of this hearing, I will not be able to personally respond with our objections to this horrific idea of a resort like edifice at this specific location in Malibu! 

It was only 4-5 years ago that a raging brush fire driven by N/E howling winds in this very corridor took out much of Pepperdine Univ, outbuildings at the Hughes Research Lab, the Presbyterian church, and 5 to 7 homes along Malibu Rd. in the Colony. 

Isn't this enough evidence to suggest that NO structures of this expanse and loss of life potential should be constructed in this canyon corridor, even with an L.A.County Fire Station 88 just blocks away...who would most likely be elsewhere deployed in such a catastrophe, anyway. 

This is totally absurd to suggest the Malibu City council would be in favor of such a monstrosity being erected there... or anywhere else in the city, for that matter.

I have submitted this letter to our two local papers. Please use the letter to any agency or counsel as you see fit to put a stop to this proposed plan.

For whatever it means, count me and my family in absolute opposition to this plan!

Respectfully,  

Bruce Collings, Los Angeles County Fire Captain, Retired 1998
