They just might have a party or two. Been doing it since 1926.

In a letter to the county, 22 neighbors mostly from Wranglers Trail wrote to “express our grave concerns” about the expansion proposal’s terrace additions, which they argued were intended to support an outdoor bar and restaurant that would have an “adverse impact” on the adjacent residential areas from noise, activity, lighting and “other visual intrusiveness,” pointing out that Wrangler Trail bedrooms would be in the line of sight from the terrace bar and restaurant.

The neighbors argued in the letter the new terrace facilities would be able to accommodate 80-100 people and would be the eighth dining and beverage venue at the 90-year-old country club, and called it the “single most intrusive such venue on the adjacent residential neighborhood.”

Fire On Holman Highway!

Not a repeat of 1987.

Power has been restored to the more than 6,000 residents of Pacific Grove and unincorporated Monterey Peninsula who lost power after the incident, according to a Pacific Gas & Electric spokesperson.

The cause of the fire appears to be downed tree falling onto a utility pole, McCarthy adds, but that information could change as fire crews gather more information.

Highway 68 is currently closed from Skyline Forest Dr. into Pacific Grove.

Pebble Beach’s Good Deed Moves Forward

Geeze, PB’s workers told they are in the wrong place. All I ever saw in the forests over the boundary was trash and yard clippings dumped by P.G. residents.

In giving the 24-unit project the thumbs-up, the supervisors praised the proposal as an exemplary effort by a private company to provide employee housing and rejected the opponents’ argument that the project was in the wrong place.

Opponents, led by attorney Pearl Kan, who filed an appeal of the county Planning Commission approval of the proposal in June insisted they supported affordable housing, including in the toney forest, but argued the proposed 13.2-acre site off SFB Morse Drive adjacent to the Del Monte Park neighborhood of Pacific Grove was the wrong site because development would mean losing 725 trees in the Monterey pine forest and a prized location often visited by the neighbors.

NIMBYs In Del Monte Park Say It’s For The Trees

Please think about the trees says the neighborhood that looks down on Pebble Beach workers who would live across the fence from them. As they continue to cover more ground for driveways and mini mansions.

Arguing that the Pebble Beach Co. should find an alternate site for its Del Monte Forest affordable housing apartment complex project that doesn’t include removal of 725 trees, the Del Monte Neighbors United group will get a chance to make its case before the Board of Supervisors next week.

“Thus, this appeal is not about blocking inclusionary housing,” he wrote. “This is about the removal of 725 mature trees in the Monterey pine forest, which has been fragmented and harmed by years of incremental development, and there are alternative projects that would still provide much-needed inclusionary housing without the commensurate environmental impacts.”

Del Monte Park residents predict meth labs, jumper cables, fornication and other acts of low class across the fence. Did anyone mention that Del Monte Park has 60% of the town’s sex offenders?

After a three-hour hearing featuring more than two dozen neighbors speaking in opposition and a range of business and social interest groups speaking in support, along with a few company employees, the commission spent a few brief moments discussing the 24-unit lower-income apartment complex project before voting 6-0 to approve it.

Commissioner Martha Diehl, who made the motion to approve, said she understood the concerns of neighbors who opposed the project but said affordable housing was such an “overwhelming priority” along with open space preservation in the forest tied to the proposal that it outweighed any drawbacks.

Stupid because he returned to a crime scent to continue his take, when cops investigating caught him.

Monterey County Sheriff’s deputies were doing a follow-up investigation early Tuesday near Spanish Bay in Pebble Beach, where two burglaries, one theft from a vehicle as well as the theft of a vehicle, were reported between July 20 and July 27.

At about 8:50 a.m., deputies revisited one of the burglarized homes, on the 3000 block of Cormorant Road, and found Edward Vincent Caraccia allegedly burglarizing it. Deputies believe he entered the house through the rear windows.
