Here read this. Tell me what you think.

so Digre wants to talk about Rt. 1 widening before the EIR is finished and released. Presumably the gang who walked the planning commission into the Brown Act violation will be pleading their case.
Nothing like a meeting to discuss a major issue without the facts since the EIR has not be finished.
But I guess you don't need facts if all you want to hear or say is NO.
" Tell me what you think." Anonymous 7:03 AM
I think your comment article link is a distraction, not factual, and not relevant to the issues that concern this city council meeting. And, even with a good education, I think Stanley Kurtz is another right-wing wacko. See Wikipedia, second paragraph.
Then, the outstanding question is do you have any comments (thoughts), questions or meaningful article links related to this city council agenda?
Hey Kathy, the easter egg hunt on the white house lawn could get cancelled due to the budget problems.
First time in a century.
don't cancel the egg hunt! the pacifica city clowncil can take care of that. send them to DC and they'll lay a few eggs on that lawn. they do it here all the time.
One item on the "closed session" agenda involves real estate negotiations of parcel # (AP) 022-330-160.According to the tax collector website, this parcel is described as " 260.475 acres M/L (more or less) SLY (Southerly) of Vallemar. The owner's name is Private" as are all the tax collector names. but the mailing address is 170 Santa Maria, Pacifica, CA. So assumingly, this is a large parcel that is owned by the City of Pacifica. Anyone out there have any idea what is going on with this or where it is? I can only think that it might be "Cattle Hill," but a good portion of that property (behind the church) I always thought was privately owned. Maybe it's the ridge. Also, as the April 10 property tax deadline is near for many of us, we can take comfort that the YEARLY property tax for this 260 acre parcel is a mere $8.62 with NO additional supplemental charges; not even a sewer standby charge or school tax.
Kathy, is it only true if it comes from a democrats mouth? Is name calling what you were taught when reality starts slapping you in your face? I thought so.
Here is the map for APN 022-330-160.
I'm still a bit confused about where exactly this is though.
"right-wing wacko" can be a term of endearment. depends on the wacko.
@ ann 703, IMO all this democrat this and republican that banter here is a big waste of time. This is a place to fix Pacifica. Non of our council members declare their party because partisan politics has no place at the city level.
If you want to complain about Obama or Newt then go on CNN.com or Craigslist Rants and Raves.
I don't see anything wrong with some discussions talking about Sacramento or DC politics that affect us. But the bickering about evil doings in the White House don't belong.
I suggest all comments like anon 703 made be blocked so we can keep the discussion on Pacifica or things that affect or could affect us directly.
hey Big Brother, don't like it, don't read it. most of us can handle that.
uh, where's that map of the parcel?
or is it just my own technical difficulty?
"... reality starts slapping you in your face?" Ouch Anonymous 11:27 AM
I'm against twisted, misleading partial factoids presented as a realistic, global view, aka: facts. Simply that.
A city council serves in a non-partisan capacity as stated by Anonymous grouch, 12:35 PM. If the city council is functional, it may also be solution based. With the current city council (and the next), hopefully enough members will set-aside their personal self promotional and political interests to move this city forward to a thriving, balanced economy with an improved city infrastructure. (They already know what needs to be done, and what a positive legacy for them).
FMV, major structural city economic and infrastructure improvement should be the #1 city goal. Whereas, the City Agenda, Item 8 link indicates the #1 city council goal is "Economic development, including business attraction and local support." Too weak to suit my "reality wish" (not reality). On the other hand, this is the first year our city council has set goals. That in itself is potentially an important improvement. As philosophical Rev. Jessie Jackson (Democrat) says "keep hope alive".
Anyone catch Len on Wavelength?

Interesting interview.

Why is Fox news "wingnuts" and Rachel Madow isn't?
uh, where's that map of the parcel?
or is it just my own technical difficulty?
The link works for me. Sorry.
Try this one HERE
Thanks Chris Fogel. Wow! Could the city be selling some property? Don't know exactly where it is but might we make more than whatever our share of the current tax bill of $8.62 comes to? Oh I hope so. Any optimism should be tempered by the fact that this has received no publicity as far as I know. We're really not in the mood for any more land give aways! Desperately need more info.
Thanks for the Agenda, Item 1 parcel link Chris Fogel (4:19 PM, 11:58 AM), I've popped it on the article.
And Anonymous 3:58 PM, thanks for the link to the Wavelength/Ian Butler interviewing Mayor Len Stone video. Len Stone seems to be a pretty thoughtful, intelligent leader.
Finally Anonymous, 4:16 PM. Your comment wins a well deserved loser award. MSNBC/Maddow "fact checked" vs. Fox "Bretbart checked"? Gee the difference is almost impossible to figure-out.
Because Fox news IS wingnuts and Rachel Maddow isn't.
Mega dittos to the sheeple.
The only thing relevant to Pacifica is what goes on in Pacifica. Please stop confusing us with all of that useless banter about the rest of the world.
Looking at the plat map it looks like it is the land behind the church on hwy 1. I never knew the city owned it, but hasn't it been for sale before? The land behind the church was staked out for houses or some development. There is remmanents of it all around.
Bubbles...Pacifica is irrelevant. News and discourse about larger issues, some of which trickle down, are all that keep this silly town from being hurled off the spinning planet. Get a grip!
Thanks, Johnny T, that rings a bell. Seen the remnants. Any rumors re new interest or sale? No one's crowing at city hall, but let's hope it's a sale and not some freebie or a paperwork adjustment. The current $8.62 paid in property taxes, which Fogel unearthed, doesn't go far. Makes one wonder how many city assets lie dormant and unadvertised while the tin cup is in perpetual circulation.
Is that parcel really 260 acres? Bigger than the quarry? Does anyone know anything about this?
It's steep hillside and has no access.
The minutes from the widening development team promise that property access after the widening, promised it back in 2008. That promised access never made it into the DEIR, among other things. The widening DEIR flatly denied the project would be growth inducing but a quick review of the PDT minutes reveal a different truth. To give that property access is a growth inducing impact. The question is why lie about in the DEIR?
BTW this blog posted a digest of the PDT minutes which are available from the SMCTA.
Really? That's confusing. Maybe we're not all talking about the same property.
The church on coast highway offered the owners of the parcel next to them an easement for $200,000.
From what I hear that project never had the funds to move forward.
The plot thickens. Why is this a closed session item?
It is closed cause its classified.
Don't ask too many questions. Or else!
closed session in pacifica usually means they want privacy while they screw the public
Regarding the potential for development of the property behind the church on Hwy 1, it's not hard for me to picture something along the lines of Connemara, another project that lay dormant for many years before coming to fruition. If an easement from the church property is not feasible, consider possible access through the rear of the old lumber yard. Bulldozers can definitely make molehills out of mountains. Would a couple of dozen well designed, well constructed homes as with the Connemara development really be detrimental to our community? I would think not.
Agreed Anon @ 2:24. Lots of rezoning needed but the lumber yard is an obvious place to start for that whole area. I know of at least one group who were looking at that whole arrangement a couple of years ago. That doesn't change the promise made by Caltrans regarding access that was left out of the widening DEIR though.
@224 Is it too much to hope for? Years away, but still now's the time to begin. Fingers crossed.
Bray, a business purchased and is using the lumber yard.
Speak with fact and not made up bray bs
Agenda update on that property item. The address is 239 Bonita and the owner is Northrop.
239 Bonita Avenue, a private residence, really?
apparently so. probably some kind of access thingie.
The APN # for 239 Bonita is completely different than APN# 022-330-160. That APN# is still tied to a 260 acre parcel apparently owned by the City of Pacifica which appears to be adjacent to the Bonita site. Maybe the owner wants a bigger back yard??
Somebody wants something. The Bonita address and owner name are on the closed session 3/25 meeting agenda.
Looks like the city added the names of the negotiating parties and the address as an afterthought to the agenda. If you want to avoid speculation, better late than never with the facts.
