From Distict Fire Chief Kevin Kamnikar:

Now’s the time to be sure you’ve got all the punch list items covered regarding your property’s fire safety readiness. An important step is to confirm whether your property is located in an SRA area.

Monterey County Regional Fire District’s Division Chief/Fire Marshal, Kevin Kamnikar says, “If you live in what is called the State Responsibility Area (SRA), you have a responsibility, and are required to maintain your property to a certain level. Requirements fall under PRC 4291 in the California Code, and compliance is required.”

Compliance responsibilities, at a minimum, include:

It’s easy to check if your residence is located in an SRA. And by completing all PRC 4291 code requirements, you, your family, and your property will not only be much safer from Wildfires, but you will also be providing added protection for our dedicated firefighters, and that really gives them a fighting chance to protect your home in the event of fire.

Scroll down the screen, and click on the text link that says, “Click Here to Launch SRA Viewer.” Enter your complete address including zip code in the search box at the top left corner of the Viewer’s map, then click the search icon to see if your property is in an SRA.

Although at its June 14 meeting the Board of Supervisors denied that the project was eligible for historical listing, it nevertheless certified the Final Environmental Impact Report finding the project would have a significant and unavoidable impact on historic resources. The staff also filed a Notice of Determination with the state indicating the project was approved and would have no significant impacts - neither of which is correct. CVA has requested the notice be withdrawn.

The supervisors’ decision overrode recommendations to list the center as an historic resource by county planning staff presentation at the meeting, by the Monterey County Historic Resources Review Board, by the EIR findings that the developer’s plan would have “significant and unavoidable” impacts on the integrity of the center’s design, and by extensive reports from Page & Turnbull and Painter Associates, two highly regarded firms specializing in historic architectural evaluations.

At the end of the hearing, the applicant said he planned to withdraw his application and submit a new one. He also said he would meet with the community to discuss paint colors. As of this time, the application has been withdrawn. How the permitting process will be handled and the type of environmental review are yet to be identified by staff.

When Fun Isn’t Fun, Let CVA Know!

Summer is here, and outdoor fun and festivities are sure to abound throughout the Valley. While this is something we all often can enjoy, sometimes too much of a good thing is, well, too much.

Apparently because of staffing shortages, the airport bus service is no longer available to residents east of Carmel-by-the-Sea.
