It requires an extremely good awareness of what is available for sale, an abil- ity to listen closely and hear between the lines of what the members of the family have to say, a nearly intuitive sense of the house that will truly work for this unique family, and the ability to make the transaction happen. One of the real estate professional’s greatest rewards in this process is the look on the faces of all the family members when he or she shows the truly “right” house.

Preservation: The Hospital has not been designated historic and is not subject to any law requiring preservation. However, we believe, Get your Pine Cone by email — as do local historians with whom we have consulted, that this is, free subscriptions at perhaps, the most architecturally important building in Carmel. www.carmelpinecone.com Project: Adaptive reuse of existing building into residential use is required economically to preserve the resource. Additional residences will be of a scale and at a density consistent with the neighborhood. The stands of oak and pine trees and the nearly 2 acres of extensive landscaping will be renewed and enhanced. All new buildings will be architecturally detailed to compliment the old hospital.

Landscape Regeneration: Significant net increase in site forestation and extensive landscaping to reflect the natural character of the area and to screen the site from other residences.

The Team: The Leidig Family, members of the Carmel Community for over 150 years, have created a partnership to preserve this historic and architecturally important building.

Community Benefits: Road improvements in the vicinity; building and property tax income; productive use of abandoned building which is a magnet for transients and other unwanted activities; rare opportunity to provide workforce housing in Carmel.

Cost to the Public: No public money will be used for the project. It will be totally funded with private resources. In addition, tax revenues will enhance public services throughout the community.

The outtakes The full day of filming, which left two-legged and four- legged stars tuckered out, included plenty of material that failed to make the final cut. McCloud recalled one such moment: In the sophisticated dog domain of the Cypress Inn, co-owner Dennis LeVett’s standard poodle, Strutz, sidled up to his owner for a scratch on the head as the group enjoyed their tea. “The next thing you knew, his big head went right into the middle of the sand- wiches and inhaled them, and then he sat back on his haunch- es and let out this big burp,” she said. The mayor said she enjoyed seeing the finished products — the 15-minute version and the five-minute podcast. “It isn’t schlocky,” she said. “There’s lots of history and local color. They did a good job of editing.” McCloud and Robbie, as well as Goodavage and Hanson — and their 5-year-old rescue dog, Jake, who’s “99 percent yellow Lab” — will be at the screening of “A Day in the Life of Robbie” in city hall at 10 a.m. Wednesday, Aug. 8. Members of the public and their pooches are also invited. Snacks, including “pupcorn,” will likely be offered, though McCloud said she’s still working out the details. “We won’t have big searchlights out front à la Hollywood,” she promised.

In addition, Palmisano urged people not to feed wildlife or Sylvester’s remains, it sure looked to me like the work of a “We actually had a woman complain that a lion killed a leave pet food out at night.

Unknown attacker But wildlife officials often try not to cause alarm about the threat from mountain lions, and Palmisano said another critter could be to blame. “We don’t have information whether the damage is con- sistent with a mountain lion or anything else,” she said. “There are bobcats, coyotes and foxes in that area. Even rac- coons will attack cats, but everyone just wants to blame the mountain lions. It’s difficult to say what is killing these cats.” If someone proved the predator is a mountain lion and sought permission from fish and game to kill it, the depart- ARTIST RECEPTION ment would have to grant a 10-day kill permit, Palmisano said. Mary Kay King, Local Plein Air Artist Two 10-day permits were issued in Big Sur after a lion killed at least dozen dogs in a neighborhood near Pfeiffer Mike Phillips, Alabaster Vessels Beach. That lion was killed May 15. But a depredation permit recently issued in Carmel Valley expired without a kill and has not been renewed. Another per- mit was granted in Monterey last week after a resident’s dog Saturday, August 4, 2007 was attacked. “But then everyone turns around and says, ‘We don’t want from 2 to 6 PM you to kill the lion,’” Palmisano said. “There isn’t a single person in our department who likes to issue depredation per- mits, but sometimes it’s needed.”

Moving not an option Residents often ask if a lion can be relocated, but consid- ering their territories span from five to 30 square miles, according to the nonprofit Mountain Lion Foundation, the animal would likely end up in another’s territory. A fight could ensue, and one would die. And if the big cat is a problem in one community, it will be a problem elsewhere. Game wardens occasionally have to kill mountain lions that become brazen regulars in densely populated areas. “Obviously, if it’s a public safety risk, we want to know about it, but the department does not define ‘public safety (831) 649-0214 200 Alvarado Mall, Monterey, CA 93940 risk’ as an animal merely existing in an area,” she said.

APPARENTLY A few people in this county aren’t satisfied with the amount of debate that’s already gone on about the county’s general plan.

With competing measures having failed at the ballot box June 5, county

supervisors made the very sensible decision to set up a committee to see if a

compromise could be worked out between the LandWatch plan and the one

supervisors passed last year. Almost as soon as its members were appointed, the

committee announced it would meet behind closed doors before revealing its

proposal to the board and the public. This brought criticism from some quarters,

where there are evidently people who think another 20 or 30 public hearings are

all this county needs to achieve land use happiness.

Coincidentally, at the same time the criticisms about “secrecy” were being

raised, the county elections office released the final round of financial reports

from both sides in the June election.

The bottom line: LandWatch and Plan for the People spent nearly $2 million

campaigning toward an election that resulted in exactly nothing being accom-

A PEBBLE Beach woman has donated her home to the nonprofit wing of the San Diego Zoo, zoo officials con- firmed this week. Homeowner Jane Watson Steel donated the house on Crespi Lane under the assumption the zoo would sell it to generate cash. She requested proceeds from the sale specifi- cally benefit the zoo’s Wildlife Disease Laboratories, accord- ing to Yadira Galindo, a zoo spokeswoman. “We will put it up for sale as soon as we can,” Galindo said. “We just got the deed within the last couple of days.” Galindo said it’s not uncommon for the zoo to receive houses as donations, as well as stocks and bonds and other non-cash gifts. She didn’t know the value of the Pebble Beach home. “As a nonprofit organization, any donation will be received,” she said. The home was given specifically to the Zoological Society of San Diego, the nonprofit organization that oper- ates the San Diego Zoo. The zoo’s Wildlife Disease Laboratories “helps to ensure the health and well being of captive and wild populations through multidisciplinary disease investigations and innova- tive research,” according to the zoo’s website. The labs specialize in “clinical pathology, necropsy and molecular diagnostics to investigate and resolve animal health problems that affect the zoological society’s collection and field conservation programs,” the website goes on to say. Steel couldn’t be reached for comment.
