Gernot Leitzinger January 12, 1940 - December 30, 2019 ernot Leitzinger was born in the alpine town of Kitzbuhel, Austria in G1940 where his passion for skiing, hiking, and cooking began. To keep him from becoming a ski jumper, his mother encouraged him to pursue cooking school and he became an apprentice in a local restaurant. This sparked his lifelong journey as a chef in restaurants in Austria, Switzerland, and Holland. A job opportunity working for a Prince in Florida brought this accomplished creative chef to the United States. His sense of adventure led him to San Francisco where his love of skiing and hiking could be fulfilled in the Sierra.

DANIELS From page 1A cants, but I am confident with my choice,” Adams said. “Kate has knowledge of the Fifth District’s unique needs and familiarity with our land use plans and planning areas, and she possesses the public service values and commit- ment required to serve effectively in this role.” Born and raised on the Monterey Peninsula, Daniels is a Carmel Valley resident who was Adams’ chief of staff until January 2019, when she stepped down. Two months earlier, she unsuccessfully ran for a seat on Monterey Pen- insula Water Management District board. Currently, Daniels serves on the board of trustees for the Monterey College of Law and is president of the Dem- ocratic Women of Monterey County. She’s also on the board of the nonprofit Gathering for Women, which offers an array of services to homeless women.

Analyzing details As a planning commissioner, Daniels said her focus will be on analyzing the technical and legal details of proj- ects — and not those which fall in the political realm. But she called affordable housing “the greatest crisis we’re facing,” and said we should be looking at creative solu- tions to address it, regardless how big or small a project is. “We see people priced out of their homes,” she told The Pine Cone. “We have to be thinking proactively about find- ing opportunities to build affordable housing wherever and whenever we can.” Following in the footsteps of Vandevere, who was noted for his extensive knowledge about land use in the district, Daniel conceded there is “a learning curve ahead of me.” She also said she is looking forward to “making projects better while working on them from the dais.” “I realize the planning commission is one of the coun- ty’s most important appointed commissions,” she added. “I will do my best to follow commissioner Vandevere’s ex- cellent example of ethical decision-making in the public’s best interest, and work to build the public’s confidence in Monterey County’s planning process.”

Instead, he liked the idea of exempting the art festival and the Surfabout from fees. Given that Carmel is a beach- front town with a devoted surfing community, he said, ex- cluding the Surfabout from the list but including the art festival would be “hypocritical.” The council unanimously decided to exempt the art fest and the Surfabout from fees, which Wright estimated would have been $2,763 and $2,735, respectively. $175K From page 10A

The battle of Martin’s Beach PRO TIP: Next time you’re headed home from San Francisco or SFO at rush hour, and your navigator says the trip will take three-and-a-half hours, do yourself a favor and take 92 to Half Moon Bay and use Highway 1 to get to the Monterey Peninsula. Not only will your trip be highly scenic and free of gridlock, you’ll also get the chance to drive past a serene piece of coastal real estate known as Martin’s Beach that’s the site of a relentless land use battle pitting Califor- nia’s most irresistible forces — state government, the environmental lobby and the media — against a successful and influential Silicon Valley busi- nessman. So pitched has the battle become, it can’t help remind you of the Alamo, with the businessman, Vinod Khosla, in the role of courageous and patriotic Davy Crockett, and the coastal commission as the take-no-prison- ers Mexican General Santa Anna. The comparison is apt because, while Khosla has been accused of be- traying a sacred public trust by buying the oceanfront property and shut- ting down a beach access business that had operated for many decades, what’s he actually doing is much less dramatic. Like any homeowner, he has the right to decide who can walk through the front door, and like any shopkeeper, restaurateur, doctor, banker, health club operator, amusement park owner, proprietor of a golf course, or anybody else who has made his premises available to paying customers, he has the right to decide when to hang a “closed” sign in the window. That’s not the way the coastal commission and California’s powerful en- vironmentalists see it, of course. To them, because Khosla’s business pro- vided access to a public beach, it is illegal, not to mention unconscionable, for him to close it without permission from the government. “All beaches are public!” they cry as they load their muskets and get their artillery ready to fire. Khosla has never disputed the fact that public beaches are public. His “I figured it out. With rents in Carmel, I live on the same thing property is not a public beach, it’s the land immediately adjacent to one, I did when I was a 10-year-old babysitter.” and he has never lifted a finger to stop anyone from using the beach that his multimillion-dollar property overlooks.
