But two weeks ago, she was informed she would need special permission from the county to present live music because the building’s property line is located within 200 feet of a residential property. According to Monterey County’s assistant planning director, Carl Holm, the county looked into the matter after a neighbor — who remains anonymous — complained. Initially, Wow was told she would need to pay $7,500 for a live music permit, with no guarantee it would be approved. This week, Holm said the restaurant

could amend its existing permit at a cost of about half that figure. The process of amending the existing permit could take two or three months, he added. If Wow can somehow prove that live music existed on the site prior to 1953, she could avoid the permit altogether. If not, at least she’ll be able to continue hosting concerts on a temporary basis — as long as they’re acoustic and indoors. The Edited Trio — which features singer-songwriters David Zink, Brett Perkins and Mark Davis —takes the stage Friday at Plaza Linda. The show starts at 7 p.m. and there’s a $10 cover.

MONTEREY COUNTY and the City of Carmel will host a community meeting Wednesday, Jan. 25, in the Junipero Serra School gymnasium to present and discuss plans for changing Scenic Road to one-way traffic from Carmelo Street to Santa Lucia Avenue. Last February, the Monterey County Public Works Department proposed restricting a short section of Scenic Road between Valley View Avenue and Carmelo Street to one-way southbound traffic. A group of neighbors, though, said the plan didn’t go far enough and suggested making the road one-way from Carmelo Street to Santa Lucia Avenue to not only make traveling along the road safer for motorists, bicyclists and pedestrians, but to reduce damage to the edge of the roadway, which is subject to erosion. However, some residents worry the change will direct more traffic into their neighborhoods. SHORT DRIVE. BIG SAVINGS. The meeting starts at 6 p.m. The Junipero Serra School is located at 2992 Lasuen Drive next to the Carmel Mission. MOUNTAINS OF FOUR DIAMOND FUN.

An interesting election

THE UPCOMING municipal election is suddenly one to look forward to, with six candidates of substance competing for mayor and two council seats. After several elections — particularly the last one — when looney ill will dom- inated the campaigns, this one looks like it will just be about issues, and not per- sonalities. Hallelujah. In our front-page story about the candidates, reporter Mary Schley gives a brief introduction to each of them. It’s hard not to be impressed. In 2010, Jason Burnett was unknown to most voters, but two years later he’s a familiar figure to everyone, and while his obvious political ambition may be off-putting to some, we think he’s more than earned the community’s respect as a councilman and, if he’s elected in April, would make a fine mayor. The fact that he promised to serve four years on the council when he was a candidate two years ago is a non-issue, because as mayor he’d still be on the council. While Carmel faces some tough issues in the coming months — in particular, its lag- ging economy, the never-ending Flanders Mansion saga, the water shortage and the looming pension deficit — Burnett can definitely handle them. But Richard Pepe is no slouch, either. He doesn’t have a lot of experience in government, but these days that can be a candidate’s greatest virtue, and not just because opinion polls show that almost all politicians are held in low esteem. There are practical and important reasons why city hall would benefit by having someone in charge with an extensive and successful background in business. The private economy is the source of all wealth; people who are good at assess- ing risks and developing successful strategies in that realm can sometimes bring vital change to the one that’s nominally in charge. “And remember ... NEVER on a Comstock.” Among council candidates, incumbent Ken Talmage is an obvious voter favorite, having been elected in 2008. On the council, he has been a bridge- The foundation taking time to meet, walk, builder — something which has been sometimes badly needed.
