Item: I
I am writing to protest the scheduling of the Jan. 11 Architectural Review meeting concerning the
proposed building on Buena Vista Ave. in Monterey Heights.
This scheduling has caused the concerned parties involved with this building insufficient time to gather
the speakers for the meeting, and a lack of time to pursue the subjects involved. The residents around
this site have not as yet even received a mailed notice It appears that staff decided to schedule this next
Monday because it would make it unnecessary to schedule a second City Council meeting on the subject
if they needed it. This seems to be a decision made for the convenience of the staff rather than the
participants. Since this is a great disadvantage to us, I would suggest this meeting be scheduled after the
City Council meeting so as to give us a chance to fully explore for the Commission the reasoning behind
our presentations.
I am aware of the fact that the City gives great emphasis in making it's citizens capable of getting their
views across to their governing bodies. We would appreciate the same consideration.
Incidentally is it usual to schedule an Architectural review before the City has a chance to weigh in on
the matter?
Thank You for your attention.
