But those changes wouldn’t do enough to keep people on the deck from looking into several rooms in the d’Oliveiras’ OPENING OCTOBER 2008 home, the couple argued before the city council Tuesday. Their lot is roughly five feet below Biason’s, and most of the windows in their home face it. “The deck unreasonably violates our privacy and nega- tively impacts the economic value of our home,” Mark Great Things d’Oliveira said. “The lattice solution is not viable.” To demonstrate, the couple passed a piece of lattice around the dais, and then, as he held it in front of his face, she asked if the mayor or any council member would feel comfortable undressing in front of him. Home “Is this developer’s right to build a deck in the specific ANTIQUES ✥ INTERIOR DESIGN ✥ HOME FURNISHINGS ✥ TEXTILES location proposed more valuable than our right to reasonable privacy?” Mark d’Oliveira asked. The d’Oliveiras also wanted Biason to keep the grapes- take fence between their properties that jogs a couple of feet onto his lot, because the proposed solid wood fence, along with the garage, would “box us in.” The couple said the design “appears massive from the street.” In his Oct. 7 report, assistant planner Marc Wiener rec- ommended denying the appeal and upholding the DRB’s approval. He said the deck’s location and the lattice would minimize privacy impacts, the garage location is the best option, the design is compatible with the neighborhood, and Biason “has made numerous changes to the plans to accom- modate the concerns raised by the design review board, staff and neighboring property owners.”

Finger pointing Each side also accused the other of illegal activity. The d’Oliveiras said Biason cut limbs from a large oak without permission in order to accommodate his proposal, and he said they trespassed by climbing onto his roof to take the photos they used to illustrate the proposed deck’s view of their home. Defending his plans, Biason said he had never encoun- tered so much resistance from a neighbor during decades of working on the Peninsula. He also said he had met with city forester Mike Branson and believed he had undertaken the proper steps to trim the oak. “Their house has about four times as much glazing facing my residence as my house will have facing theirs,” he point-

Financial Focus

by Linda Myrick, AAMS Financial Advisor

HERE’S A “CHECKLIST” FOR SURVIVING A FINANCIAL CRISIS

What can you do to cope with the news of the past few weeks? Consider the following “checklist” for sur- viving a financial crisis: First, focus on things you can control. For example, you can control your emotions so that you aren’t pan- icked into making unwise, short-term decisions. Panic is not an effective investment strategy. Next, review and rebalance your portfolio. During this market decline, some of your holdings have prob- ably fallen more than others. This may mean that you now own a lower percentage of some assets than you had originally intended. Consequently, you may need to make some adjustments. Also, look for quality investments. In a difficult eco- nomic environment, you’ll want to own stocks of com- panies with strong balance sheets. Finally, be patient. History has shown that turn- arounds can happen quickly and unexpectedly. The most successful investors stay the course and take advantage of opportunities while others are “bailing out” of the financial markets.

MIX FINDINGS FOR YOUR FALL ENTERTAINING! 30 A The Carmel Pine Cone October 10, 2008 O PINION Editorial BEST OF BATES

Throwing away your money

WHEN TIMES are flush, politicians have no difficulty dreaming up ways to spend the taxpayers’ money. Literally, it would take hundreds of Pine Cone

pages to list all the the state, federal and local programs that should be curtailed

or eliminated because they are simply not worth the money casually dedicated

to them in Washington, Sacramento or the various local government headquar-

ters. But let’s start with just two:

■ In the last few weeks, every registered voter has received two thick elec-

tion packages, one from the state and one from the county, detailing all the races

and ballot measures on the Nov. 4 ballot. Almost nobody reads these packages

— many people don’t even glance at them — and they should be eliminated.

Instead, put all the same information online and send a simple postcard telling

voters where they can find it.

■ Federal wildlife officials recently spent $120,000 decorating their Pacific

Grove headquarters with large murals showing ocean life. The justification for “I’m saving it for my husband. He’s due in a week from Thursday.” the outlay was to educate the public about the importance of preserving the

ocean and its creatures. But the building is right next to the beach ... and anyone annually by way of a contingency fund.
