Coastal Commission unanimously rejects appeal of Carnoustie development

Friday morning the California Coastal Commission unanimously found No Substantial Issue on George Muteff’s appeal of the Carnoustie subdivision—as recommended by the Commission staff report. The development was supported by citizens from across the Coastside political spectrum.

Mr. Muteff spoke first, in support of his case.

Speaking against were Bruce Russell of Kenmark (the project’s developer), and Half Moon Bay City Council members Bonnie McClung and John Muller.

Letters supporting Muteff’s appeal were filed by Dale Dunham, Terry Gossett, Jerry Steinberg, Lucy Lopez, and Ron Sturgeon.

Letters supporting No Substantial Issue were filed by John Lynch, Mike Ferreira, Hal Bogner, Sofia Freer, Kathryn Slater-Carter, Kenneth King, James Henderson, Dana Kimsey & Scott Boyd (League for Coastside Protection), Stephan Freer, Lennie Roberts (Committee for Green Foothills), Edie Cook, Bob Cook, Terence Ainscow, John and Marcia Traversaro, Alan Alifano (Ocean Colony Homeowners Association), and Charise McHugh (Chamber of Commerce).
