There Are NIMBYs On My Block!

Canterbury cannot provide services to the homes it owns adjacent to the facility, but others on the block can hire gardeners, housekeepers, pizza delivery etc. What’s the difference?

I see CW providing jobs. Local jobs. And the NIMBYs on Spazier don’t approve.

Spazier St

Canterbury Woods owned a house at 612 Spazier for more than 30 years, according to its executive director, Norma Brambilla, and the resident did not receive services from the senior citizen complex.

After the occupant retired, Brambilla said, she was assured verbally by city officials that using the property for life-care senior housing was acceptable to the city and would not violate Canterbury Woods’ use permit or the city zoning ordinance, since the property was zoned for single-family residential use.

The Not In Big Sur Half Fast Marathon Closes Roads This Weekend

Homer Running

Some of the best-known streets in Monterey and Pacific Grove will be closed to traffic for two to four hours Saturday and Sunday mornings as runners participate in Big Sur Half Marathon events.

Saturday’s 3- and 5-kilometer runs affect a small section of Cannery Row from Prescott to David avenues in Monterey, plus Ocean View Boulevard in Pacific Grove as far as Sea Palm Avenue near Lovers Point. The affected areas will be closed to traffic from 7:30 to 9:30 a.m

Hope they clean up after themselves better than that triathlon did.

High Surf Advisory, What To Do? I Know, Let’s Go Fishing!

Lets go fishing off the coast in a 15 foot boat! Twenty foot high waves were crashing. Huh?

I sure hope these two get a full bill from the state for the cost of their stupidity.

Two fishermen were rescued Sunday morning after their boat capsized in rough waters off Asilomar Point.

One of the fishermen was injured as he was trying to get back to shore and was taken to a hospital; the other fisherman was treated on the scene.

Robert Down Trees Granted Visas To Stay

The trees can stay but the school board needs to be reduced by a seat or two.

Four recently planted apple trees at Robert Down Elementary School — which parents planted two weeks ago during a school cleanup day without prior approval — will be allowed to stay, the Pacific Grove Unified School District board decided.

The day after the semi-dwarf trees were planted, a district official ordered them removed because their placement hadn’t received a prior OK from administrators or the school board.

Agha Declares Holman Building All Used Up, Gets OK From Council

Owner of the dilapidated old red house by the post office once said the same thing. Wish I could drill my own well and not pay Cal Am. What about the sewer system, has that been addressed?

On Wednesday, he described the existing store building as “an old building at the end of its economic life.”

The structure Agha is proposing, they said, would provide 250 to 420 rooms, a restaurant and conference center, a basement parking garage, and a multi-story parking garage in the lot behind the Lighthouse Cinema movie theater on Lighthouse Avenue.

He is proposing to drill a well on the site and install a desalination system to provide water for the hotel and low-cost housing for employees.

Hundreds more shower heads, flushing toilets, traffic and tourists.

Don’t Ignore That Cop Because Of The CPD Star

Wednesday, the Pacific Grove City Council approved a request by Police Chief Darius Engels to “borrow” a motorcycle officer from the Carmel Police Department to chase speeders.

His department has 18 of an authorized 22 officers, and he would be able to pay for the loan of a motorcycle officer within the department’s approved budget.

Issuing traffic tickets “doesn’t generate a lot of revenue,” Engels said, but that’s not the point.

Crosby 2010, Less Is More

Ollie says 48 fewer golfers is a positive step?

Welcome To The Crosby

The PGA Tour and the Monterey Peninsula Foundation announced that the tour’s Policy Board today approved the reduction of the professional field for the 2010 AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am from 180 to 156 players. The amateur field consequently will be reduced by the same number.

“This is a positive step in our continual quest to improve the event,” states Ollie Nutt, president and CEO of the Monterey Peninsula Foundation. “With the return of Monterey Peninsula Country Club to the rotation and the celebration of AT&T’s 25th year as title sponsor, this will further strengthen the experience for contestants and spectators alike.”
