PENROLLMENT From Page 1 Page 2 • CEDAR STREET Times • June 23, 2017 Joan Skillman PADUS From Page 6 this reason and because of Pacific Grove’s desire to maintain historicity and to protect Skillshots traffic flow and public safety, the Retreat area presents problems and may be excluded. The Retreat area includes Ocean Boulevard to the north, Lighthouse Avenue to the south, City of Monterey boundary to the east, and Jewell Avenue portions to the west. Councilmember Robert Huitt expressed discomfort with including the Retreat area. Also excluded will be Monarch Pines, for obvious reasons; the lot size require- ment can’t be met. Also exempted are portions of the Beach tract, bounded by Lorelei Street, Ocean View Blvd., Sea Palm Avenue, and the south side of Mermaid Avenue because the existing development on small lots is dense in nature. Asilomar Dunes is under consideration. for exclusion because of sensitive habitat issues. Completion of the Local Coastal Plan may answer some of the questions about Asilomar. Another issue is water. Owner/applicants will need to provide the City with a Monterey Peninsula Water Management District release and water permit application. If the District deems that sufficient water units are not available to allow plumbing of the ADU, the applicant can request to be placed on the Pacific Grove water waiting list. Other utilities will be installed underground, and sewer connections must be adequate. Currently, there is a requirement that properties where an ADU is desired be owner occupied. The new ordinance allows for rental of both the main dwelling unit and the ADU but in no case will the main dwelling unit be available for short term vacation rental. And the ADU cannot be sold separately from the main dwelling unit. Grandfathering: Regardless of when an accessory unit was built or established, property owners may obtain permits to recognize those ADUs under the new Ordinance. After completion of revisions and changes requested by the City Council, the Ordinance will be brought back for a second reading and adoption.

    Dennis Wilson - Pacific Ocean Blue Produced by Dennis Wilson & Gregg Jakobson Released August 22, 1977 - Caribou PZ 34354 (CBS) Pacific Ocean Blue - Legacy Edition Originial Recordings Produced by Dennis Wilson & Gregg Jakobson Bonus Tracks Produced by Dennis Wilson, John Hanlon & Gregg Jakobson Executive Producer: James William Guercio Released June 17, 2008 - Caribou/Epic/Legacy 88697-07916-2 (Sony/BMG) Disc One Dennis Wilson had always been considered the quintessential "Beach Boy": not in a musical sense (that, of course, was Brian), but in a lifestyle sense. His love of surfing inspired the others to adopt the image that launched the band, and his further adventures in the worlds of fast cars, fast bikes, and fast women continued to fuel the imagination and song catalog of his older brother and cousin. But in the first five or six years of their career, his musical contributions were limited to drumming and singing backup (and sometimes not even that), with an occasional lead vocal opportunity (either covers of other artists or new songs that Brian and Mike would throw his way). However, with Brian Wilson's retreat from full artistic control of the band in 1967, the other members (Dennis included) began to be relied upon more and more for compositional and production efforts. Dennis' first contributions in this respect appear on the 1968 Friends album, and would continue over the next five years; tunes like "Little Bird", "Be With Me", "Celebrate The News", and "Forever" were highlights of the late '60s-early '70s Beach Boys era. In order for Dennis to evolve musically into something more than "just the fun-loving playboy drummer", he needed to master a melodic/chordal instrument well enough to compose on it.

  • With Dennis Wilson a DVS Staffer Remembers His Surprise Glimpse of the “Lost” Beach Boys Classic
    (Digital Video Singles.com Blog Entry, 2009 ) As we’ve mentioned previously, the team here at DVS has a combined century or two of experience in the music industry. And in the course of their travels, they’ve had some interesting moments and encounters along the way. From time to time, we’ll have one of our intrepid foot-soldiers in this treacherous, joyous business of music share one of their notable adventures. Enjoy! An Early Morning “Smile” with Dennis Wilson A DVS staffer remembers his surprise glimpse of the “lost” Beach Boys classic One of the biggest announcements in the music industry so far this year is the planned release of the Beach Boys’ legendary “Smile” album, a project that has, largely, languished in the vaults since 1967. To be released on the heels of group leader Brian Wilson’s greatest triumphs to-date, the classic “Pet Sounds” LP and the still-revolutionary “Good Vibrations”, “Smile” was to be Wilson’s magnum opus. But internal dissention within the group, legal battles with Capitol Records and the sheer weight of the ambitious and still-unfinished project finally caused Brian to shelve the album. Almost mythical even in its day, “Smile” would go on to become the most famous unreleased album in Rock & Roll history. Brilliant “Smile” tracks like “Cabinessence”, “Surf’s Up” and “Cool Water,” re-worked and doled out for subsequent LPs, only heightened the perceived tragedy of a classic lost. Brian Wilson’s increasing gradual retreat from the affairs of the Beach Boys over the next 20 years are well-known, and many –including Brian himself—have attributed the “Smile” debacle as the pivotal moment in that arc.
