I would like to see the county research the option of hiring a company that could bring in a large ship to sink it off the coastal area, where it would provide protection for the the beach from erosion and would also create an artifical reef for both sport fishing and sport divers to enjoy. I belive this would be a win-win solution.

Every 7 to 8 years off of Coal Oil Point we have the eqivalent amount of natural oil leaking of a "Exxon Valdez" oil tanker. In case you forgot that was 10.8 million gallons of oil and it covered over 11,000 square miles. Until we tap into these natural seeps and remove this oil it will continue to happen. And this doesn't mention anything about the natural gas seeping which also contributes to the over all CO 2 levels.
I really don't think it will matter that much how many cars travel up and down the freeway when you have something as huge as this happening every day right off our coast.

UCSB should simply install their own desalination water plant and also their own sewage treatment facility. That would make everyone happy and how easier could it be siting right next to the ocean.

I believe at the very least that any expansion at the university should include a desalination plant that would provide water for the complete campus. A transit system that doesn't rely on just vehicles but more so a busing system or something similar.

I don't know if Sandy & John Wallace have any solar panels on their property but if they did this project could be halted immediately. Can you imagine living within feet of a 35 - 40 foot building. I am totally against the project and the future potential of what it could bring to Coast Village Road, Chapala Street all over again. I also believe both the Monetcito Association and Montecito Planing Commission should be actively involved in the approval or disapproval of any new development on Coast Village Road.

Supervisor Salud Carbajal is a terrific, a very hard working man whom represents all of us here in Montecito within the county. I have worked with him for this year as a member of the Cold Spring School Safe Routes to School committee. He is a truly hard working and determined man whom wants to do the best he can for all of us. I personally have a lot of respect for him. I look forward to continue working with him and his staff in creating the "Montecito Pathways" project - creating walking and bike pathways throughout Montecito. When you consider that Montecito if it were a city, it would be only surpassed by the city of Santa Barbara in property tax revenue, one of the 8 cities within the county. But yet you hardly ever see any roadway repairs, tree trimming work and or roadway improvements being done. Monetcito is the "GOLDEN GOOSE" for the county of Santa Barbara. It has more than 3,00 parcels with an estimated value of of over 6 billion dollars. Yet the infrastructure in our area is similar to that of a third world country. No storm drain systems, very narrow roadways, no pathways and no bike lanes. People enjoy being able to get out and go for a walk or ride their bikes. I will do all I can to support the Supervisor in his bid for re-election and continue in my efforts to improve the quality of the pathway and bike lanes throughout Montecito not only for the children but for all of us.
If he has any money left over from his re-election campaign after winning I sure know where it could be put to use.

I cannot believe that the Montecito Association doesn't take an active role in stopping this new development on Coast Village Road. As the article claims the deadline for public comment is December 12. Its time Bill Palladini and the Montecito Association to voice their opposition. Lets schedule a "Special Town Hall" meeting Bill and discuss this before it is to late. Maybe with a little luck once the complaints come in, this project will be properly reviewed and turned down. If not our lovely Coast Village Road will turn into Chapala Street. Three story buildings everywhere. Of course the city will approve it without any public out cry, this is the only way they can increase revenue, to allow building and building and more building.

EVACUATION PROTOCOLS is the key phrase here, more importantly Notification. Whether those gates ever open again or not isn't the point but if and when they open / close a notification protocol has to be established to let area residents know. It shouldn't matter whether you live in the City of Santa Barbara proper or reside in the county jurisdiction. As it stand those whom reside in the city proper can be notified by the city fire department if they desire.
There is no notification process / protocol established for the county jurisdiction and that is the problem.
Its like planning a Christmas party and after deciding on the date, food, drink and entertainment you never send out the invitations.

GET INVOLVED!!
Montecito Assocaition meeting next Tuesday @ 4 pm - 10/13/09. Next G cell antennas on agenda. Be THERE!
Then of course the County Board of Supervisors meeting at 9 am - October 20th, special permit review and public comment discussion.
BE THERE, this is important.
If not write letters, send e-mails, call : complain, complain & complain to the Board of Supervisor's and Congress Woman Louis Capps.
You stand to loose the two most important items in your life:
FAMILY & HOME
( who would buy your house if there was a cell tower / antennas ouside your bedroom window, you have to legally disclose that, new buyer has two years to realise if you didn't disclose)
what could be more important?
The county needs to enact a moratium on their cell tower / antennas ordinace / policy. A full review needs to be done, update their policy regarding most recent legal cases, this needs to be done. WITH PUBLIC INPUT!!
The Board of Supervisors are our elected officials :
THERE FOR US BY US
Tell Them NOW!!!
