Front Yard Golf Course Destroyed

By order of the state. Make way for ugly native weeds.

Scraped earth is all that remains of a well kept mini golf course that was once prominent in the front of Robert and Maureen Feduniak’s house not far from Cypress Point. A bulldozer ripped out the lavish greens over the past two weeks.

The seemingly innocuous golf course — which looked like little more than a well groomed lawn to passersby — first drew the ire of the coastal commission in 2001 when the state agency was notified by a Del Monte Forest Foundation forester the novelty course violated a conservation easement limiting landscaping on the property to native plants — a condition of a 1983 permit for the home.

That’s why the Colossus Of Gold had Cohen with the “Eat At The Other Lighthouse Cafe” sign..

On March 23, councilman Alan Cohen and his colleagues voted 5-2 in favor of allowing Aqua Terra Culinary to take over the lease at the Point Pinos Grill, the eatery at the city’s municipal golf links at 77 Asilomar Blvd.

But questions about a possible conflict of interest were raised by several P.G. residents when Cohen was hired by Aqua Terra to cook at the grill for two days last week.

Outgoing Clubhouse Food Operator Didn’t Like The Deadbeat Perception

Said he cooked with Rachel Ray.

D’Amelio said he owed the city only $12,732 in back rent and $10,264 in equipment leases. The city contended that he also owed $83,264 in “penalties and interest,” but he was advised by legal counsel that was unenforceable.

In any case, D’Amelio said, he left behind $40,000 worth of furnishings he purchased from the city and $33,000 in fixtures. Depreciating the furniture, he said, those items would be worth about $53,000, “a fair deal” for settling $22,996 the city claims is due.

City Attorney David Laredo said the city could have made a claim that D’Amelio owed $83,624 in addition to back rent and leases, and D’Amelio could have filed a counter claim for the equipment he left behind.

Golf Course Grill Operator Has Debt Forgiven By P.G.

Can we all say ‘money pit’?

In the case of Point Pinos Grill at 77 Asilomar Blvd., which serves Pacific Grove Golf Links, the council voted 5-2 to transfer the city’s lease from operator Chris D’Amelio to Aqua Terra Culinary, a Peninsula-based firm.

A condition laid on the transfer was that Aqua Terra not provide off-site food catering from the grill.

Transfer of the beer and wine license for the premises from D’Amelio to Aqua Terra would be up to the state Alcohol Beverage Control Board, said City Attorney David Laredo.

D’Amelio’s lease was due to expire at the end of this month, but it carries a provision allowing a five-year renewal.

Another condition of the transfer was that the city forgive a debt of $106,142 owed for back rent and penalties. Councilman Bill Kampe defended that as necessary to ensure continuity of operation at the golf clubhouse.

At around 8:30 a.m., a beachcomber reported spotting a suspicious device that looked like two pipe bombs taped together at the base of a 40-foot cliff near the 9th hole at Pebble Beach, according to the sheriff’s office.

The Monterey County sheriff’s bomb squad went to the scene, examined the device, and rendered it safe.

Resident threatening to file California Environmental Quality Act lawsuit to keep rowdies away.

“The proposed project … will result in the detriment to the health, safety, peace, morals, comfort and general welfare of persons residing in the neighborhood as well as depression of property values in the immediate neighborhood,” he said.

Bridges contends the city has to complete an environmental impact report for the project before approving. His determination challenges Hefner’s Dec. 21 report, in which she recommended a much lower level of environmental review — a “mitigated negative declaration” — after weighing potential impacts on noise, community aesthetics, traffic and global warming.

Wasn’t is supposed to be self sustainable?

Mayor Carmelita Garcia and Councilman Dan Miller voted against the measure, objecting to the city operating the golf clubhouse grill through June 30 until a new operator can be found. That is estimated to cost $203,000 to employ cooks and waiters while reaping an estimated $230,000 in income.

When the grave yard Clubhouse was pushed on the taxpayers we were told there would not be hard liquor or evening operation. I’m shocked, shocked that the city would ever turn on the residents and do such a thing.

The city is proposing the use permit for the $4million golf clubhouse at 79 Asilomar Ave. be amended to allow it to operate 6a.m. to 9p.m. rather than the current dawn-to-dusk schedule, allow the club restaurant to serve liquor as well as beer and wine, provide amplified music and erect light fixtures in the parking lot and along walkways.

Former Councilwoman Susan Goldbeck told the council the proposals fly in the face of promises made to neighbors when the clubhouse project was approved in 2003.

Throwing up in the bay is not harmful to the environment . . .

Pacific Grove’s residents have until Monday to comment in writing on a report that contends that keeping the city’s Municipal Golf Course clubhouse open in the evening, adding parking lot lights and serving liquor won’t have an impact on the environment.

The report, prepared by assistant city planner Ashley Hefner, covers a proposal to amend the clubhouse use permit to allow it to operate 6 a.m. to 9 p.m. rather than the current dawn-to-dusk schedule, allow the club restaurant to serve liquor as well as beer and wine, and provide amplified music.
