WHEN TOURISTS visit the Monterey County Convention and Visitors Bureau next to Lake El Estero, they aren’t told anything about the City of Pacific Grove — not its stunning coastline, quaint Victorians, incandescent iceplant, swarming mon- archs or venerable lighthouse. In fact, the tourism map the visitors’ center sells for $1 features an embarrassing void where P.G. should be. “I’ve been told the bureau refuses to give any information about Pacific Grove,” said P.G. Mayor Dan Cort. That’s because city council voted last year not to pay the $80,000 tab to be a part of the bureau’s “tourism improvement district,” which would include Pacific Grove on its list of Peninsula tourist destina- tions. Now, some in the city are rethinking that decision. PHOTO/KELLY NIX “I think we should be onboard,” Cort said. Monterey’s San Carlos Beach is a popular dive spot.

To that end, it will host three work- shops on consecutive Mondays this month, each dealing with a different element of the city’s land use bible. All the meet- ings, to be held July 9, 16 and 23, will run 4 to 6 p.m. in the Carmel Woman’s Club at San Carlos and Ninth.

Pacific Grove 655-4300 “There’s a lot of forecasting involved,” he said. “It’s hard Carmel Rancho 625-4300 to look ahead 20 years, but we have to anticipate long-term trends and get an idea of what we are going to need guidance Carmel 626-6999 on in the general plan.” Charles T.

Open space addresses parks, their use and maintenance, and recreational activities, according to Roseth. “Conservation is a broader issue,” he said. “It deals with essentially our environment: water use and allocations, the urban forest and recycling programs.” For the first time, the updated plan may also include policies related to environ- mental sustainability, which Roseth described as “meeting the needs of the current generation without sacrificing the ability of the future generations to meet their needs.” July 16’s workshop will highlight public safety and public facilities. The safety element details how the city should cope with fire, flooding, earthquakes, tsunamis and other emer- gencies. The portion on public facilities outlines the manage- ment of city buildings, streets and properties. “We need to make some priorities,” Roseth said. “If we have limited dollars, where do we spend them first, and what could we defer?” On July 23, consultants and attendees will talk about cir- culation and noise. The circulation element addresses “traffic of all kinds: cars, trucks, buses and bicycles,” Roseth said, as well as road conditions, speeding, intersection safety and parking. The section on noise covers that generated by construc- tion work, traffic and other sources. Roseth hopes all the workshops are well attended and bear substantial fruit as the city undertakes its general plan update. “It’s easy to look at the issues of today or next week, but the general plan is a long-term document, so it really is a whole different concept,” he said. “People have to think about what the city will cope with in the next 20 years. What kind of city do we want Carmel to become in the next 20 years? This is the opportunity to make laws that are appro- priate.” For more information, call (831) 620-2010 or visit www.carmelgeneralplan.org.

Council names new commissioner
THE CARMEL City Council appointed Joseph Ford as the newest member of the forest and beach commission Tuesday. He replaces Peggy Miller, who resigned because she and her husband moved to Carmel Valley. Recommended by Mayor Sue McCloud and Vice Mayor Ken Talmage, Ford “brings unique qualifications to the board as a former board member and docent at Point Lobos State Reserve” according to their memo. Ford, who lives on Vizcaino, is a retired corporate attor- ney for a defense contractor. In his application for the appointment, he said he was interested in serving on the for- est and beach commission “to help manage, maintain and preserve Carmel’s two most important natural assets.” Ford said he would bring an “ability to listen to and consider dif- ferent points of view and help achieve consensus,” and the council agreed to his appointment at the July 3 meeting.

Today’s Real Estate PUBLIC NOTICE by MAUREEN MASON THE BEST TIME TO BUY A HOME Is it best to buy a home when the market is alive with buyers and you can be sure that your own home will sell quickly if you find another that you wish to buy? Or is it best to buy when the market has cooled and sellers are more willing to accept both your CLEAN-UP WEEK offered price and the terms and timing you’ve asked for? There is no satisfactory answer to this question. Perhaps the closest we might come to a viable answer would be to say that buyers should shoot for the time shortly before a slow market reaches bottom, when sellers are still flexible and prices are as low as they’re likely to go. Ideally, then, the Carmel-by-the-Sea buyer would find and purchase a home, and then sell his or her existing home as the market begins to regain steam. That kind of timing, though, is nearly impossible to pull off. Residents Only So we’re left with this truth: The best time to buy or sell real estate occurs when you truly want and need to buy or sell real estate.

The concept is simple. Redevelop the historic Carmel Hospital property into a beautiful residential community planned for 33 residences, complete with walking paths, plazas, courtyards and fountains. The old hospital building, with its prominent position on the hill, will be the focal point of the project. The hospital will be renovated and restored to its original condition. Residences will be carefully placed around the property to create a pastoral setting and enhance the existing oak and pine trees with nearly 2 acres of extensive new landscaping.
The new buildings will be architecturally detailed to compliment the old hospital. All residences will have 2 car garages. Additional parking will be provided on site for guests.
Benefits to the Community of Carmel include:
x Historic Renovation of a Community Treasure x Adaptive Reuse of Existing Buildings x Affordable Housing either on-site or provided through in-lieu fees
x Tax revenue to the City of Carmel of $197,802—$227,142 x Additional revenue to the Monterey County Libraries of $21,258—$24,455 x Additional revenue to the Carmel Unified School District of $190,018—$218,598
Developers Voluntary Civic and Cultural Contributions:
x The Forest Theater $400,000 x Carmel Unified School District $300,000 x The Harrison Memorial Library $200,000 x The Carmel Youth Center $100,000
A note from the partners:
As long time residents of Carmel, we are committed to the preservation of our historic resources. In 1929 Grace Deere Veile Harris, granddaughter of industrialist John Deere, endowed the Carmel Metabolic Clinic, “as a gift to the people of California … to relieve distress of many kinds.” This magnificent building went on to serve the people of Carmel as The Community Hospital of the Monterey Peninsula and later as the Carmel Convalescent Hospital until its closure in 2005. Many members of the Leidig family were born in the hospital, recovered from injury and illness there, and visited this final home of our friends and parents. We have envisioned a new life and a new beginning, for this community treasure. We look forward to working with the community of Carmel, incorporating your vision into ours. We are happy to meet with our friends and neighbors to discuss the merits of this project as we progress in our planning process.

No apology necessary for job well done
TO DETER would-be burglars, a man pushes his bed near a window and stuffs the covers with pillows in the shape of a sleeping person. Then he goes out of town, figuring that anybody who cases the house with a break-in in mind will be deterred because somebody is home. He never calculates, of course, that the person visiting his house while he’s away will be a police officer, looking for the owner of a truck parked illegally on the man’s street. Getting no response despite repeatedly ringing the doorbell and knocking, the officer peers through the window to see if anybody is home. Spotting the unresponsive “body” in the bed, the officer naturally fears some- thing is wrong — a fear compounded by the cryptic language on a note found in the garden: “I tried and tried but, oh, boo hoo, I died.” The officer could have no way of knowing the note was a humorous expression of grief over a dead plant.
