BMW Crashes Into Holmans
Giraffe. Stable. I see what you did there. Good reporting CPC.
A black BMW smashed through the front display window Of the Holman Building in Pacific Grove at lunchtime Wednesday. The driver was “treated at the scene for a complaint of pain and released,” according to Pacific Grove Police Cmdr. Brian Anderson. No one else was injured and the kitsch in the shop, including an approximately 6-foot giraffe wearing a racing saddle, appeared in stable condition.
Based on the angle of the crash, it appeared the driver had accelerated from a parking spot in front of the building. Two officers were overheard saying the driver had been ‘talking on her cell phone, but said she was using Bluetooth.”

Is The Holman Building Cleared Of Asbestos?
Developer pays the $475,000 fine for improper disposal, about $19,000 per condo.
Specifically, (District Attorney Jeannine) Pacioni said that inspectors with the Monterey Bay Air Resources District between November 2015 and September 2017 found that construction crews “had repeatedly disturbed asbestos-containing materials,” many of which had been identified in an asbestos survey of the building before the start of the renovation project.
While materials containing asbestos are supposed to be disposed of in containers intended for hazardous waste, workers at the Holman building threw the materials
away with regular construction waste, according to Pacioni, who said the developer and owner were cooperative throughout the investigation.

Planning Commission Loves Durell Hotel
Give them 100% reclaimed toilet-to-tap water. Call it a substainable hotel.
Since its official approval last week, residents had 10 days to appeal the decision, which would then put the project into the hands of the P.G. City Council. Even if the council approved it, the project currently has no water credits. Those would have to come from the city’s Local Water Project.
“The council first has to decide what (water) will be allotted to commercial use and residential use from the reclamation site,” said Aeschliman. “Then it becomes first come first serve.”

What? No Bowling Alley?
Currently, the building’s 3,000 square-foot lobby, which will include a weight room, media center, bar, stage and lounge for private uses and special community events is having all of its electrical work finalized, according to Daniel Crnkovic, superintendent of construction. Eventually, it’s set to include marble floors and a grand fireplace.
Gash has ties to the community through his great-great-grandparents who came to the Monterey Peninsula from Oklahoma to work in the canneries. He said that opening up the space for community use is the company’s way of saying “thank you” to both the city and local residents who have supported the project
