Staff Note: Since this matter was postponed from the August Commission meeting, the staff has received a number ofletters commenting both in opposition to and in support of the Forest Service's proposal. These were mailed to the Commissioners in the two mailing packets for the September Commission meeting. The primary contentions in opposition, as of the date of this writing, are as follows: 1. The Big Sur portion of Monterey County's Local Coastal Program (LCP), which was incorporated into the CCMP in 1990, not the Coastal Act, should be the legal standard of review for federal agency activities. The Commission relied heavily on the LCP in previous Forest Service consistency determinations (including CD-18-88 and CD-47- 93). 2. The LCP's Watershed and Scenic Conservation (WSC) zoning designation for the site does not allow commercial activities, and the Commission is applying a "double CD-083-05, U. S.

III. APPROVAL OF MINUTES: A member of the public commented that the October 26, 2018 minutes were excellent. The minutes were approved as presented. IV. PUBLIC COMMENT ON NON-AGENDA ITEMS: • Lisa Deering: Commented that she has been a South Coast resident for 39 years. Concerned about Caltrans closing gates; it feels like they are living in a gated. Speaking on behalf of residents and Pacific Valley School, they have had 14 days of school closures, residents can’t get in and out except by N/F Road. School is having to do home school. Previously, Caltrans had barricades with cones, options to residents for access, their safety first. Pre-emptive closing of gate procedure should be removed. She understands the safety and liability issues for Caltrans but believes they also should think about medical liability for residents.
