In addition to my previous comment - take a good look at the County's "Map of Development Potential for the Midcoast with Watershed Information" - Miscoast_...pdf (2.7 MB). This map was used as a Discussion/Action Item for County's "Public Hearing" of their Midcoast Stormwater Drainage Committee on 11/8/07. It is evidence that the County is totaly ignoring the strong advisements NOT to allow building on Steep Forested Hillsides provided by multiple U.S.G.S. Geologists; there wouldn't be drainage…

Taking a look at Paul Perkovic's recent comment on Review's "TalkAbout" below, I am totally dismayed that Supervisor Richard Gordon/County has held hostage MWSD's Failed Well Policy by tying it into, and making it dependent on the Coastal Commission's approval of County's exploitive, fraudulent "LCP Update" that based all of it's assumptions for doubling the amount of houses, people, cars and out-of-scale expansions of water/sewer infrastructure, water supply additions, road expansions & urbanized…

FYI, the County has been refusing to update to the current status the Air/Safety Standards and are operating the Half Moon Bay under 1974 Air/Safety Standards; there are way too many people under the current UNSAFE Air Traffic Patterns now. The County is also delaying the Half Moon Bay Airport’s Master Plan Update. This is because the County wants to shove as much residential development including on the multitude of Antiquated 25' Sub-Standard Lots in the Mid-Coast that are not even included in…

So, where is the wisdom in San Mateo County's plan in their fraudulent "LCP Updte" to DOUBLE the population in the Mid-Coast and allow people to build over-sized structures on the multitude of Antiquated 25' Sub-Standard Lots in the Mid-Coast that are not even included in County's old, over-estimated LCP Buildout Numbers upon which they erroneously based all of their over-assumptions for how many additional houses, people, cars & out-of-scale water/sewer infrastructure, water supply additions, urbanized…

Thank goodness the Tax-Paying Homeowner/Residents here and people in the outside world who CARE about our fragile, LIMITED Coastside have Coastsider.com where they can get the TRUTH of things. For instance, on the back page of their latest issue we find two articles where the full story is LEFT OUT. In an article entitled, "City declines to pay for SAM improvements" where the REAL story is in the…

Hey, if you think that's something, just wait and take a look at tomorrow's edition; I understand that the Review will be putting forth their version of the debauched "Beachwood/Foothill Blvd." affair.

The Half Moon Bay Reivew carrier for El Granada has been delivering around 2:30 p.m. and so I went out front about that time, took my 94 year old neighbor his and brought mine into the house & then took a walk - coming up Santiago towards home, I noticed that someone or some group had taken every single paper & left only the free magazine in the delivery bag - when I got onto Salvador I noticed my neighbor's was also missing - I got curious to see if the people on Cabrillo/Moro, Ventura and other…

I don't know about the rest of your renderings but,"Drawings - El Granada" cannot be viewed - message states "Damaged - Cannot Be Reapired" - can you please fix it/others so that the Tax-Paying Homeowners in the Mid-Coast can see what proposals this group has drummed up to date?
Where was the notice for the Public Meeting set for this Thursday, 3/29/07 @ 7:00 p.m. at Harbor House in Princeton published?
Thanks, Barb Mauz

There are many critical issues involved in the inappropriate over-development being proposed for hillside land behind the Urban/Rural Boundary off of San Juan in El Granada. These issues really need to be brought out into the open so that people can be made aware of just exactly what is a risk. In my opinion, the County's approval of residential development on land historicly devoted to agricultural use and the proposed conversion of an agricultural well to domestic use would set a very bad precedent…

It has been reported on the Review's website that a bicyclist and vehicle collided earlier this week on SR1 near Surfer's Beach. According to HMB police, the bicyclist was reportedly making a left turn off the highway's southbound lane at the stop light when he was struck by an SUV. CA State Parks officials, CA Hwy. Patrol & HMB police responded. The article states that the victim was taken to HMB Airport and transported by helicopter for treatment at 10 a.m. There was no immediate word on his condition.…

The priorities of the Tax Paying Homeowners in the Mid-Coast in response to the County’s Survey of Registered Voters in the Midcoast were very clear: (1)Acquisition and Preservation of Greenbelt/Open Space Areas and, (2) Trails, NOT the destruction of them by urbanized recreational development! The County's Park/Rec. Plan, just like the County's fraudulent "LCP Update" erroneously based its assumptions on the old, over-estimated LCP Buildout Numbers from the 1980's that don't even include the multitude…

Watch/Tape last Tuesday's BOS mtg. at 10:00 a.m. on MCTV (CH6)- 11/20/06.

All it would take is a can of paint to convert these two oversized tunnels into a four-lane underground freeway! Fax letters a.s.a.p. to the Coastal Commission c/o Chris Kern at (415) 904-5400 and ask that the Coastal Commission remove from San Mateo County their jurisdiction over the Mid-Coast's Local Coastal Plan (LCP) and their Fraudulent, Exploitive "LCP Update" that would lead to the exploitation of the multitude of Antiquaed 25' Sub-Standard Lots not even expressed in their 1980's over-estimated…

Excuse us a moment here, Mr. Hyman ---- you seem to be ignoring the fact that the existing Tax-Paying Homeowner/Residents in the Mid-Coast ALSO have Property Rights and the need to protect our Greenbelt/Open Space Areas including the Burnham Buffer Strip that is a part of the Burnham Street Plan which is a County Historic Resource in El Granada which is a ONE-OF-A-KIND, Designed Community by Daniel Burnham in 1906. It is designated Rural Land and is Zoned Community Open Space Conservation. It is…

I have looked and have been unable to locate any news source other than Coastsider.com or the SF Examiner - click here: http://www.examiner.com/a-338987~Residents_decry_housing_numbers_included_in_midcoast_area_plans.html that have published an article regarding the Board of Supervisor's Public Hearing on their so-called "LCP Update" set for tomorrow morning. It seems as if the HMB Review and S.M. County Times have both been pursuaded ($$$$) by the County/Builders/Realtors & Greedy 25' Sub-Standard…

Actually, the County Supervisors are pushing the Builder/Realtor/Daveloper/Greedy Antiquated 25' Sub-Standard Lot Owners' vision of buildout on the Tax-Paying Homeowner/Residents in the Mid-Coast and Half Moon Bay who would suffer the consequences of shared, finite Coastal Resources being destroyed such as Coastal/Ocean Viewsheds and water - once these things are gone, they are gone forever! The County has incorrectly based all of their over-bloated assumptions for how many additional houses, people,…

Also, while we're still on the topic of Wavecrest, maybe CUSD Trustee, Charlie Gardner can give us an update on how CUSD means to extricate itself from the debauched "Land Swap" Deal involving Wavecrest & CUSD owned Vacant Land in North El Granada which is a designated "Affordable Housing Site" in the Mid-Coast.

Ray,
Sometimes, more often than not now, with the current majority on the City Council, Jim Grady who is the only moderate member has to draw the Hard Line with the antics of all of the shark-like, Special Interest/"Property Rights" individuals who are trying to undo the City's protective land use policies & laws. Jim Grady is doing a wonderful job of defending these policies & laws!

This meeting regarding "Big Wave, LLC" is being described as a "Pre-application PUBLIC WORKSHOP" but according to a friend of mine there was no Published Notice of this meeting nor, was the Mid-Coast Community Council advised of it taking place; only people residing at the El Granada Mobile Home Park were sent a Notice - this bypasses needed public scrutiny and that is just plain wrong! Project Description: Major Development Pre-application Review, Coastal Development Permit, Use Permit, Major Subdivision…

Brian, you & others should be addressing your concerns to the Mid-Coast Community Council; ask them why they are going along with the County's so-called "LCP Update" which is a total fraud. The County's "LCP Update" incorrectly bases all of its over-bloated assumptions for how many additional houses, people & cars they would like to shove into the Mid-Coast (at least twice the amount as are here today) upon the out-dated over-estimated LCP Buildout Numbers from the 1980's that don't even include…
