Trinitas Project To Be Revisited

San Andreas, CA — Another meeting dealing with the Trinitas Golf Resort Development and its impact on the community is scheduled for this morning at nine o’clock at the San Andreas Town Hall.

Thursday, February 19 the Calaveras County Planning Commission met for seven hours with no decision rendered.

The development currently consists of an 18-hole golf course. Developers would like to add a club house-pro shop in addition to a 30 unit lodging facility. The proposal also includes 12-14 lots for single family residences. Finally the developers, Michael and Michelle Nemee, are seeking administrative use permits for events that would host 500 and 1,000 people.

Supporters believe such a project would stimulate the economy while those against the development have voiced an objection due to a potential conflict with agricultural uses. Some have also claimed the construction of the golf couse destroyed wildlife habitat.

Interim Community Development Director Brent Harrington is hopeful a final decision on the fate of Trinitas will be made today. "That recommendation will then be forwarded to the Board of Supervisors for action at a later date."
