Has the faculty been ruled out?

The student told police she was followed and saw the man and the vehicle two or three more times during her walk to school. The incident was immediately reported to school officials, who notified police.

The suspect was described as an Asian man in his 40s. The vehicle was initially described as a white sedan, but police said interviews indicate it was more likely a smaller white SUV or crossover.

“Officers are actively investigating and are working directly with the student and her family. Officers have completed a thorough check of the area and surrounding area and are conducting interviews and checking available surveillance video sources in the surrounding area,” police said in a social media post.

Fliers placed in mailboxes without postage? Under 18 U.S.C. 1725, mailboxes are federal property, and only authorized personnel, such as postal workers, are permitted to place items within them. Grandpa might get a visit from Homeland Security.

Seeking to find out for themselves what was going on, residents organized a bankruptcy hearing watch party in a common area on May 19. A flier was created with details and distributed to residents’ mailboxes, located in the lobby of the building. The fliers soon disappeared, pulled by staff on the orders of corporate managers, according to a resident who spoke to staff.

Residents protested, but say staff members refused to put the fliers back. After more protests, the watch party was allowed to take place in the common area.

“This is CENSORSHIP,” a resident wrote afterward in an email to Joanne Getas, an ombudsman from the Alliance on Aging, adding that it was a “violation of our constitutional right to information… We can’t have a dictatorship here.”

A mountain lion made an appearance in Pacific Grove over the weekend. When officers responded to a call of a sighting, the beast made a break for it and was last seen running up the street in the Del Monte Park neighborhood, bordered by Buena Vista and Benito avenues, in P.G.

On Sunday afternoon, P.G. police were notified of a mountain lion sighted in the backyard of a residence. Officers responded and were shown a picture that was taken of the lion by the reporting party. According to the P.G. police, while officers were checking the surrounding property, the reporting party saw the lion run up the street.

Del Monte Park Dwellers said that the P.B. workers would stink, unlike their Arkwright Court neighbors.

Monterey County required the Pebble Beach Company to
build the affordable units at its own expense as part of the
company’s final buildout plan — not only to provide badly
needed workforce housing, but to reduce commutes by workers in and out of Del Monte Forest. The company selected a site it said was convenient to services and contained degraded habitat.
But before the Pebble Beach Company broke ground on
the project, it faced pushback from some neighbors in the
Del Monte Park area of Pacific Grove, who claimed that the
townhomes would cause noise and light pollution, destroy the natural habitat, increase traffic and even be the source of bad smells.

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.

Afraid it would bring down the values in P.G.’s own ghetto? Afraid of people from Seaside moving nearby? What? Next thing you know they’ll be putting in sidewalks in Del Monte Park.

the council voted 6-0 in support of a comment letter on the proposed 24-unit affordable housing project’s draft environmental impact report that included a recommendation that the project be relocated to a site at Sunset Drive and 17 Mile Drive. The letter is set to be delivered to county planner Joe Sidor, who is overseeing the project review, in the next few days, ahead of the June 19 public comment deadline.

The proposed project site near New Congress Drive and SFB Morse Drive on the edges of the Del Monte Park neighborhood has drawn considerable opposition, particularly from nearby residents.

Affordable Pebble Beach apartments for their employees comes under fire from the DMP people against everything. Did you know that Arkwright Court is the gateway to Del Monte Park? I’d rather live by the Pebble Beach apartments than Arkwright Court.

Kathleen Davis has lived in Pacific Grove for more than 20 years and said her backyard fence boarders Pebble Beach. When she heard about the plans for affordable housing near her backyard, she took action.

“Well, no most of the people on this street and many of the people who live in this neighborhood are against it,” said Davis.

One of the key parts of the proposal would take the 2.7 acres of land and turn it into apartments, parking lot and a recreation area.

“Probably going to have a significant impact on the property values of all of these houses here,” said Davis.
