Sometimes the right ears hear the right
story, thus we get the benefit of Marilyn Ryan's planning wisdom from her
current location in Houston. Marilyn was a Planning Commissioner
extraordinaire here for many years. She sent this note via both Joice Beatty
and John York who were also legendary at it. Much of what we enjoy today is
because of the team on that Commission.
"Someone needs to
remind the PC (Planning Commission)and
CC (City Council) that including
something like a Starr Ave extension in the Gen Plan does not require that it
be constructed in the near future but that the R/W (right of way) be maintained for the City's benefit. If the
R/W is not protected, the City could face the cost of condemnation when the
logical expansion eventually takes place. One of the purposes of the
place is to continue to provide a logical path forward, not to satisfy the
immediate needs of a land owner/developer. After all it is a CITY - that's a
place with social covenants - and it's their job to see that it continues to
serve ALL of the CITIZENS now and into the future. If they don't like
that the should come down to Houston to see what the other side looks
like. See you soon, M."
On the Planning Commission Agenda for this Tuesday, 6
PM, Vintage Hall: Thorn Hill wants to put their tasting room at the On
the Vine location at Main and Hunt, making this question think piece for the
week -- have we reached saturation on the wine tasting rooms yet? The
talk is starting to switch from "wine tasting room" to "
bar" and the next question is, how many bars do we need in town? What
else do we need? Do we have a lot of DUI's? Do we have to have a bigger
police dept.? What happens when the bubble bursts? In the last 6 years the St
Helena has permitted 19 tasting rooms within the Service Commercial and
Central Business districts. If you have an opinion about this topic, pro or
con, send an email to: Greg Desmond, Interim Planning Director, gregd@cityofsthelena.org (707) 968-2749 - See more
