Resident warns board of planned corporation yard 'next to our houses'
Summary
Michael Levin told the Tahoe City PUD board that the community learned last year about plans for a 90,000‑square‑foot, two‑acre corporation yard near Top of Cedars, accused staff of poor communication and alleged a consultant told him "someone is going to have to suffer." The board took the comment under advisement; no action was taken.
Michael Levin, a local resident and member of a community nonprofit, used public comment to criticize district plans for a corporation yard near the Top of Cedars neighborhood. Levin said the community first learned of the proposal last August and described it as "a 90,000 square foot, 2 acre corporation yard next to our houses." He told the board the district has been unresponsive to records requests and has ignored concerns about wildlife, wildfire risk, noise, dust and erosion.
Levin also alleged the district’s hired public‑relations representative spoke "in an official capacity" and told him, "someone is going to have to suffer" for the project to be completed; he said that statement has not been retracted. President Scoville acknowledged Levin's remarks during the public‑comment period but no board action or staff direction was taken at the meeting on the corporation yard. The matter remains a concern raised by commenters and could be brought back to the board or addressed through the permitting process or future agenda items.
