The right balance

TWO WEEKS ago, we used this space to make fun of the hyperventilated reaction some Carmel residents — and even members of the planning commission and city council — always seem to have to even the tiniest proposed change or exception to the city’s general plan or zoning code. Whether the issue is live music in restaurants, sandwiches in coffee shops, the number of art galleries and jewelry stores downtown, artificial grass in someone’s yard or even the color of their shutters, there’s always somebody predicting that any change will lead to doom. The most current illustration, we said, was whether Carmel Belle could continue offering counter service at its popular downtown eatery. Counter service? Quelle horreur! After the editorial was published, however, we realized that some people took it the wrong way. While Carmel’s zoning nit-pickery is always worthy of satire, making fun of something isn’t necessarily the same thing as disagreeing with it. In our opinion, the way the Carmel Belle situation has been handled by city hall is actually an exemplary case of balancing private business interests and the public good. Which is to say, it’s a compromise that protects the town’s charms and traditions, while also giving the owners of Carmel Belle the latitude to continue operating pretty much the way they want to. How so? Because Carmel Belle (and its predecessor, Paolina’s) were selling food from a counter and letting their customers eat it at tables long before the city passed a law prohibiting that type of food establishment, the city decided to let the restaurant continue just the way it was. City officials didn’t have to do that — they could have banned counter service outright. Instead, they grandfathered Carmel Belle in under the old code and let them continue selling food at a counter for consumption at their own tables. And that grandfathered status is “Sir, we can’t find anything on affordable housing. Have you tried fiction?” still protected by the city, insofar as it applies to the Carmel Belle we all know and love — which is the say, the counters and tables in the center of the Doud tomer who has been required to install a Arcade.

But I realized I had needed to do something else, to learn about business and life in another place, and get good at something else. I’ve worked for a really big company, which enabled me to bring a different set of skills to the shoe business.” Five years later, Tess and Chancey Calhoon are married. He works as an engineering manager at Carmel Valley Ranch, and she is still a manager at Lloyd’s, still working alongside her father, and traveling with him on buying trips. “Event planning was exciting, and selling shoes is mel- low,” she said. “Except for how much I love shoes. All of us who work here love shoes and handbags, and everyone gives input on what we bring into the store.”

Exploring commerce Calhoon also enjoys working in a business that continues to change, and finding success by learning to change with it. In an era when customers can purchase just about anything without leaving their home, she says, she focuses on the cal- iber of the shopping experience, the quality and fit of the product, and the value for the customer. Yet she, too, is exploring ecommerce. She also thought about opening a second store. But for now, she’s focused on

Cyndra accounted for the differences in the sisters’ works by saying, “We paint our personalities.” In addition to regular gallery hours, Cyndra and Delia are open for the city’s art walks on the second Saturday of each LiLifestyles month from 5-8 p.m. The walks allow art lovers to tour more than 20 artist-owned galleries and get to know the painters, sculptors and others who continue the tradition of Carmel’s bohemian artist community. Future plans for the two include painting some wildflow- ers in what’s shaping up to be a great season for it, and for Delia, a fall trip to Tuscany to paint some European scenes. And of course, continuing to welcome visitors to their galleries.
