Report
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the Board of Supervisors:
Consider continuing the public hearing for sixty days to a date certain on June 23, 2015 regarding the renaming of Garrapata Ridge Road, a private road located in the Big Sur area, to Weston Ridge Road.
SUMMARY/DISCUSSION:
The Resource Management Agency - Public Works (RMA-PW) requests a continuance of this matter until June 23, 2015 from the January 27, 2015 public hearing to allow for additional meetings with affected parties to address community concerns.
At the Board of Supervisor's meeting on January 27, 2015, RMA-PW requested a continuance before the public hearing was opened for this matter. The continuance was requested to provide opportunity for staff and affected parties to meet and coordinate. The Board granted a continuance for ninety days. On February 20, 2015, RMA-PW staff met with emergency response agencies to discuss options that would best serve both the community and the agencies. At this meeting, the staff and emergency response agencies indicated that they would review their respective street and address data before discussing this matter with the community. The agencies did not anticipate the length of time needed to coordinate schedules and meetings. This sixty day continuance is being requested to provide time to conduct the agency and community meetings.
On April 9, 2015, a Notice of Public Hearing to continue this request was published in the Monterey County Weekly.
OTHER AGENCY INVOLVEMENT:
RMA-PW has been meeting with the Mid-coast Fire Brigade and 911/County Communications.
FINANCING:
There is a minimal impact to the General Fund associated with the additional staff time to resolve this matter. The staff costs are included in the Fiscal Year 2014-15 Adopted Budget.
