All of the alternatives would accomplish most of the project objectives. Nevertheless, a legislative body may reject such alternatives if it properly finds them to be infeasible for any of the statutorily specified reasons, including economic infeasibility.” n The city’s findings of overriding consideration were adequate, because the only way it could ensure the mansion would be restored and maintained “in an environmentally sensitive manner,” would be to sell it to someone bound by the mitigation measures and sales conditions in place to STORE accomplish that. “We can find no abuse of discretion in the city’s decision that sale of the mansion property ... would be more beneficial than the city’s retention of a small parcel of parkland containing a dilapidated unusable structure for which the city was required to continue to shoulder both liability and maintenance expenses,” they wrote. BLOWOUT A smaller lot? The appeals court agreed with Kingsley on one point: The Flanders Mansion EIR did not sufficiently address the possibility of selling the mansion on a smaller piece of land. In the city’s defense, attorney Jon Giffen stated the EIR did not have to analyze the possibility of a smaller lot because most of the parcel to be sold with the mansion would be covered by a conservation easement, thereby protecting the remainder of Mission Trail park. In the city’s view, it was reasonable for it to have determined, “that a further reduction of the lot size is not viable and would essentially leave the mansion without any land and thus be unmarketable,’” the justices observed. But that point “ignores the obvious,” the appeals court said, because SALE “the city provided no response whatsoever in the EIR to the comment’s suggestion that the residence could be sold with a smaller parcel, even though the comment raised a significant environmental issue.”

‘Pleased and gratified’ Billig and her attorney, Susan Brandt-Hawley, took the appellate court’s decision as a triumph. “The foundation is pleased and gratified that Judge Kingsley’s ruling was upheld,” Billig said in a statement. “This is a good time for all of us to take another look at Flanders and the park as a whole and to think creatively about working together for a lasting solution for Flanders Mansion and the people of Carmel-by-the-Sea.” Burnett said he feels similarly, regarding the mansion’s fate. “The problem is that this could go on forever: You fix one problem and then come back and find some other problem,” he said. Amending the EIR would be costly and would require cir- culating it for additional comments that could raise additional environmental concerns. The economic feasibility study would also have to be revised, “and we don’t know what the results would be,” he said. Holding another public vote would be expensive, too. “I see the main objective as getting out from under this asset that is costing taxpayers money rather than earning something for taxpayers,” he said. “During a longterm lease, for example, we could probably get close to the amount of money as we would in a sale, but that would depend on what the market will bear.” He speculated someone would be interested in taking on the costs of restoring the historic home in exchange for the enjoyment of living in it for many years.

By MARY SCHLEY

TO HELP shake the special-occasion- only image of his upscale restaurant, and to keep things interesting in the kitchen, Aubergine chef Justin Cogley launched a couple of new dinner series — “Food for Thought” and “Terroir” — each held once a month. Priced at $75 per person, including wine, the four-course dinners are accessible as well as interesting, especially in the diminutive dining room inside L’Auberge Carmel more often associated with $400 tabs. Food for Thought, which focuses on a specific seasonal ingredient, is held on the first Tuesday of the month, while Terroir, described as “a new series of dinners inspired by landscapes,” is held on the third Tuesday of the month. Because of the holiday weekend, the schedule was shifted for January, so Cogley’s next Food for Thought dinner will be held In a dish inspired by the landscape, rare veni- Jan. 10, with citrus as the star ingredient. son blends with twigs of bread dough and Pacific Coastlines will be the theme of the miso colored with stout. upcoming Terroir dinner Jan. 24. “We are open seven days a week, so it’s fun to do a completely different menu for will feature a unique take on duck a l’orange. one night,” he said, adding that everyone The ducks have been washed in rice vine- involved — from the kitchen staff, to the gar and honey, and are hanging in a temper- customers — learns from the experience, ature-controlled room, allowing the skin to too. “It’s just a fun way to learn even more.” tighten so it will be crisp when cooked, rem- Food for Thought will include four cours- iniscent of Asian style.

Maximum Rocknroll magazine. When he’s not draw- ing comics, he teaches animation and works as a cam- eraman. You can find lots of his work at www.thee- owencook.com. This week, we are proud to announce the launch of Owen Cook’s “Police Log” comic strip as a regular feature. It will appear each week on an inside page. While the text of his strips will come verbatim from recent police log items, the depictions of the characters will be purely the invention of Cook’s mind and will not, as they say, be intended to resemble any person, living or dead. So if you see yourself in one of the strips and don’t think it looks like you ... well, it’s not. The “Police Log” strip is part of a program of expanded content and circulation we plan to institute in the coming year. While newspapers around the country are struggling to make ends meet, if not going out of business entirely, The Pine Cone had strong revenue growth and circulation gains in 2011, and we’re expecting another good year in 2012. We intend to build on that success by making our beloved newspaper even better. So whether you enjoy laughing at the nutty things that make people decide to sum- mon the police, you’re trying to figure out why so many people don’t bother to lock their cars, or you read the police log simply to remind yourself about your good fortune to live in a place where such things are news, we’re sure you’ll enjoy Owen Cook “Police Log.” ANIMAL HOSPITAL AT MID VALLEY CENTER, CARMEL 831.624.8509 Providing the highest quality medical and surgical services for dogs and cats ▲ Diagnostic ▲ Trauma/Emergency ▲ Surgery ▲ Digital Xray ▲ Ultrasound ▲ In House Laboratory ***Our latest State of the Art THERAPEUTIC CLASS IV LASER (For treatment of inflammatory issues and various sources of pain) Ask about our routine Dental Special

A very bitter pill

THE FLANDERS Mansion scandal — created by an irresponsible state Legislature and fostered by a small group of selfish local preservationists — is nearing its end, thanks to an unequivocal decision by an appeals court this week that the preservationists’ principal arguments against the sale are worthless. In particular, the appellate judges mocked the idea that the city had to do a detailed environmental analysis of the possibility the old mansion would be turned into affordable housing, a halfway house, a jail, or any of the other millions of fanciful uses the mind can conjure. Only realistic possibilities, not ludicrous ones, need to be examined for possible damage to the environment, the judges said. It’s a conclusion that lifts our legal system, where enforcement of the California Environmental Quality Act is concerned, from the 99th level of ridiculousness to the 93rd or perhaps the 92nd. But then, illustrating the principle that, in California, to accomplish anything, you need to win every time, whereas to stop something, you only need to win one time, the judges ruled that the Flanders Mansion EIR needs to be revised to reflect one preservationist’s suggestion that the parcel of land to be sold with it be made smaller. This is a revision that could be quickly accomplished, leading to yet another “Is this the Mission Ranch???” vote by the city council to give the people of Carmel what they want by selling the unused and unusable mansion, freeing up the funds for other, more useful Health Committee, you state he should civic purposes. revoke the right of any court to reverse what Letters a judge has decided is unlawful.
