of 801 Fassler Avenue
 ... "Samir Sharma of Terra Holdings took over an 11.2 acre site at 801 Fassler Ave. In 2004, the city certified an EIR for “The Prospects” 29 residential units. However, the entitlements lapsed and no building was ever done. ....The new owner now requests the city consider the Fassler Avenue Residential Project with 24 condominium units in 12 duplex buildings..... Most of the units will have a living area, garage, porch, deck and private yard, with a few exceptions.  

....  Construction is expected to begin next July and be going on Monday through Friday and Saturday as needed. Infrastructure will take five months to build. Final grading to Fassler Avenue will take another four months. The full build out is expected to be completed by December 2017.

The draft EIR discloses possible effects in the areas of aesthetics, biological resources, geology and soils, hydrology, water quality, transportation and traffic.  Responses to the draft EIR are due by Nov. 17. Send comments to Kathryn Farbstein, Assistant Planner, 1800 Francisco Blvd. Pacifica, CA 94044 or email farbsteink@ci.pacifica.ca.us."  Read article.

The hippies over on Riptide are already screaming about this. Especially Maybury.

1024 They howl and you snort and snuffle. It's a freakin' barnyard.

No way in the world the hippies will allow anything to ever be built in the quarry.

WAKE UP PACIFICA said...

It's not up to the hippies. Stop deferring to them.
They are clueless hypocrites who only care about their selfish little world view.
This gang of whiners, liars and litigators have wrecked our city and will continue to do so if we let them.
It's time for the adults to stand up and make some sound economic and environmental decisions for the sustainability of Pacifica for ALL of it's citizens.

The Hippies Rule Pacifica said...

The Hippies run this town. It's been that way for over 30 years.

10:24 - Maybury doesn't live in Pacifica anymore. He can holler but don't pay attention to him. His deceptively-titled blog only has power if it is given to him. Frankly, he shouldn't even have a column in the Pacifica Tribune anymore because he doesn't live here.


12:46 - the hippies run this town because the rest of the people in Pacifica allow them to run this town. The Hippies/Nobies/IGMs are organized and take action. While the majority of folks may not agree, if they remain silent and too busy to take action, what's been going on for 30 years will continue.

"His deceptively-titled blog only has power if it is given to him"

'Riptide' is a deceptive title for a blog? Okay man, whatever you say. Maybe you've had enough to drink for tonight.

403 I want to thank you for all the entertainment you provide. Funny stuff and lots and lots and lots of it!

610 Oh I think he just likes the sound of "deceptively-titled" and the hyphen. Yeah, it's the hyphen.

Kathy Meeh said...

610, 630, 633 what 403 said is reality. So who has been drinking or smoking something? What ever it is, your comments are high on something.
Rather, you and your NIMBY pals could "get real" and join with those who would support infrastructure improvement and solutions for this City. But when it comes to that it seems your team is all "dope".

My body is a temple, Kathy. I'm just high on hilarity. Thanks, again, 403!

@7:44-

Like the Maharishi says, "Show me a man whose body is a self described temple, and I'll show you a man whose mind is a cup of clam chowder."

Where I come from we'd call the guy a chowderhead. The Maharishi is a hippie.

To those who didn't understand what I meant by "deceptively-titled": I was referring to the use of "PACIFICA" in the title, not the word "Riptide"!
