29 Quotes by Julie Regan

Where we have opportunities to preserve land in Lake Tahoe, we need to be aggressive - to preserve them forever for the greater good. Over time we've been able to bring ownership from private to public. We need to provide access or even vista points. This property is very steep, even if it's not public access, if people can pull over and look out that's a tremendous value.

We're really hoping this alternative reflects a great balance between the need for public access and protection of the lake, but still serves lakefront homeowners who have been waiting to be eligible for a pier.

While we participate in these forums, communities have more time to focus on specific issues and provide input. This will take more time.

We are not interested in hiding. We are interested in being open and transparent. We want to serve the community and the lake together. The compact is clear on our mission of maintaining the equilibrium between natural landscape and man-made environment. It is very challenging, because you do have differing opinions about Lake Tahoe and how it should be managed.

There are, admittedly a lot of moving parts. But we're confident it will also come together.

We've heard from the community that they want us to be more accessible on the North Shore.

We were originally scheduled to present it, but we need more time. We're still writing it.

We are very concerned about homeowners who willingly violate the regional plan and environmental policies. We don't want to standardize a potential fine and have people include it into the cost of buying or building their home.

There's nothing that bans commercial service in our plan. We're not putting a line in the sand, but the channeling of the river has changed. We need to work together. We want to be part of the solution.
