Monterey Bay 21 Upper Ragsdale Dr, Ste. 200 Ryan Ranch Monterey Conservation nonprofit Eye Center asks for county’s help to develop land

By CHRIS COUNTS

BECAUSE IT couldn’t sell a 28-acre property across Highway 1 from Point Lobos State Reserve to California State Parks, the Big Sur Land Trust wants to put it on the market and sell it to someone who will build a house on it. Not only does the conservation group want to sell the land, which is located at 3400 Red Wolf Drive, but its officials are asking the county to establish three areas as potential building sites — and let the buyer decide which one to develop. At this week’s county planning commission meeting, Sarah Hardgrave of the Big Sur Land Trust conceded her group’s re- quest is unusual and even, “very awkward,” since the nonprofit’s purpose is to preserve open space, not build on it. Since it was formed four decades ago, the land trust has conserved more than 40,000 acres. “For us to sell a property for a single-family home is not a normal process,” Hardgrave said. “Typically, we acquire land and turn it over to the government, and this property was ac- quired for that intent. But that is no longer a viable use for the property.” In a letter to a county official, Big Sur Land Trust President TrusTed, Qualified, award-winning Jeannette Tuitele-Lewis said her group has been unable to find any park agency that’s willing to “manage and conserve” the ompleTe yeCare for The amily property.

After county planning official Jacqueline Onciano repeat- eyewear FOr every age, every liFeStyle, every budget edly called the situation “unique,” planning commissioner Jose Mendez wondered if approving it would set a precedent. “Wouldn’t we be opening up a can of worms?” Mendez montereybayeyecenter.com | 831.372.1500 asked. “Would we not have other people come in and do same thing?” Planning commissioner Keith Vandevere, meanwhile, said he had no problem with selling the property so a home could be built on it, but he said “the uniqueness argument is falling a little flat.” He asked for a better explanation for why the county would do so much work before a specific project is proposed. “What’s being asked for is that we do some of the environ- mental work …. to make it more attractive to a buyer who pre- sumably would have to do less of the work,” Vandevere said. “I want to see a much clearer explanation why we’re ‘front load- ing’ this.” The planning commission will take up the matter again on April 11.

PINE CONE STAFF REPORT

A LONGTIME Pacific Grove Golf Links Advisory Com- mission member was awarded a certificate of appreciation for spending nearly two decades advocating for the city’s 18-hole golf course. On Feb. 13, Pacific Grove City Councilman Rudy Fischer presented Bruce Obbink with the accolade. He thanked Obbink “for everything he has done for golf and golfers in the City of Pacific Grove”. Obbink, who supported building the golf course club house and the installation of lights in the parking lot, was first ap- pointed to the golf commission in 1999, where he spent near- ly 20 years advocating for the golf course, league players, and the golf-playing public. Before recently stepping down, Bruce served as the commission’s chair since 2013. Fischer recognized Obbink as the “keeper of all of the golf course’s history”; noting that whenever the councilman has a question about the golf course or the Pacific Grove Lighthouse, he calls Obbink.

THIS WEEK, the United States Supreme Court heard oral arguments in a case that, if you believe MSNBC, is about ending the right of government work- ers to unionize. Even the usually more even-handed NPR described the case as a “dagger pointed at labor’s heart” that could result in the “extinction” of unions. With language like that, you might think the case, Janus v. AFSCME, was about whether workers should be allowed to unionize at all, but it’s not. That right is firmly entrenched in many state and federal laws. Instead, the discussion before the high court this week was about whether people who don’t want to belong to unions should be forced to pay for the union’s activities anyway — not only when it comes to negotiating with the boss, but supporting candidates for public office and lobbying for political causes. And we all know how much unions like to do those two things. One look at the monthly magazine of the California Teachers Association, for example, tells you everything you need to know about how blatantly political the teachers’ union has become. Should teachers who don’t agree with the union’s left-wing views be required to help pay its expenses? In California, and in 21 other states, they are. Enter Mark Janus, a public employee from Illinois who says the requirement that he pay what are called “agency fees” to the union at his workplace amounts to him being forced to support political positions he ardently disagrees with. “Hog’s Breath? Sure, you just go up Dolores past Ocean, keep going past And that, Janus says, violates his First Amendment rights. Sixth ’til you get to the Carmel Art Association, then you cross the street and head up Pantiles Court ’til you get to Two Sisters Designs, turn left, then But unions argue removing the requirement that people like Janus pay at least right, and when you find yourself underneath Rothe’s mural, you’re there.” partial union dues would put them out of business — and to support the claim, Finally, your reference to the removal of they point to a survey showing that only 35 percent of AFSCME members would the introduced species of eucalyptus also keep paying dues if they didn’t have to.
