Dear City Council,
Water is my passion. I grew up sailing the Great Lakes with my parents which fueled my passion for the outdoors and open water as a kid. Now I am 53 and still have that same passion. I want the people of Cooper’s Point to be able to experience the wonders of the sea. People of Cooper’s Point cannot take our water for granted. In other areas there is not this luxury of practically, or literally, having a sea in your backyard. I would love to use Cooper’s Point to provide these water wonders for the people of the community. My vision for Cooper’s Point is to make use of as much water as possible, build housing that will enable people to live on the water and also give people other entertainment in the area to relax and live life.
First step into developing Cooper’s Point would be to build 90 houses, some of them on the sea and some of them not. This will allow people that are crazy about the open water, like me, to live on the sea and enjoy the wonders of it. Next to the houses I would like to create a marina that will allow people to dock their boats, fuel up and get something to eat after being on the sea for the day. Also, a fishing port will be put close to the marina so that people can dock their boats, walk down to the port and fish. A golf course will be right before Route 101 that will be in very close proximity to the houses so that they are able to play with ease. This was a no-cost opportunity for people to be outside and enjoy the sea. A natural habitat preserve will also be put into Cooper’s Point. Yes, this will cost me some money and take up 20% of the space on Cooper’s Point but it is another great way for people to experience the open water. There will be a large pond that flows into the sea through a stream. This will demonstrate how important it is to preserve and protect the waters of the world because at some point in time, water will be a scarce resource in the world.
The other half of Cooper’s Point won’t focus on water but will be more of the entertainment side. On the other side of Route 101 there will be an entertainment district with movie theaters, restaurants, concert facilities and things like that. People in the community will be able to enjoy those things which will generate a lot of revenue. Next to all that good stuff there will be a swimming facility that will be for recreation but also for lessons. People will be able to learn how to swim so they are able to enjoy the sea that much more.
I didn’t get all of this without any sort of opportunity cost. I built 90 houses so I was not able to build the townhomes which would have helped out the elderly, or the apartments that could have
