am in opposition to the proposed location of the Greenbelt Infiltration Project because of all the significant geological,
engineering, environmental and safety impacts to the
residents and their homes. Once this project is completed these issues will not magically go away, but, rather, will remain a constant problem for this area for many years to come.
Also, the electrical equipment that was described by
Tetra Tech at the June 19th Study Session that is part
of their design, which would be placed aboveground, is
not within the scope of the permitted uses or improvements
of the OS-1 zoning of the Greenbelt; therefore, a violation
of the municipal code.
I urge you to continue to search for a more appropriate
alternate location for this project.
The recent Fiesta failed again on many levels. Swap meet booths (mattresses, knives, cars, timeshare, sheets, etc.) were everywhere, despite our residents' desire to see the Fiesta focus on arts and crafts. In addition, there was minimal involvement, as usual, from local groups (Boy & Girl Scouts, school & church organizations, local non-profits, etc.). The Chamber had the audacity to charge local organizations such as Hermosa 5-0 $750 for a booth (they declined). Note that the Chamber apparently and ironically gets free space in the city's community center. Many of the local businesses do not do well during Fiesta weekends. It is obvious that the Chamber of Commerce will not make substantial changes (they have been making and breaking improvement promises for years) and should look for other funding sources elsewhere. In addition, I believe a majority of Hermosa residents would like to have, at most, only one Fiesta a year. If even one Fiesta is allowed to continue, the city should require specific guidelines to satisfy shortcomings detailed above.
