The North Coast Advisory Council will meet next Wednesday at Rabobank at 7pm to review several projects planned for Cambria. Among the items for discussion will be a proposed cell tower addition at the Catholic Church, home additions/remodels on Castle Street, Warren Rd, Trenton Ave and Windsor Blvd in Seaclift Estates, and finishing a parking area for the Harmony Headlands State Park, 7 miles south of Main Street/Ardath/Highway One.Visit the NCAC website for a complete agenda and reports.
The North Coast Advisory Council (NCAC) serves as a forum for public review of matters identified with sound development including, but not limited to: land use, public services, circulation, zoning, public improvements and all aspects of orderly community growth. The Council provides comments on items and issues before it, and submits comments and recommendations that it has adopted to the Board of Supervisors, the Planning Commission, or other appropriate body.
The NCAC often reviews items and issues (like the North Coast Area Plan & ordinance revisions and projects requiring “discretionary” permits) early in the process. The goal is to provide community input at a point where needed changes or obvious incompatibility can be incorporated. If you’ve ever experienced the fun of a major remodel nearby, or wondered what that thing is that’s being built somewhere, the NCAC has probably seen and discussed the plans and included comments on it months earlier.
The Council’s website is updated regularly with projects being reviewed, agendas and meeting minutes as they are approved. You can keep tabs on upcoming projects and issues by checking the website or looking for the agenda printed in the Cambrian the week before the meetings. NCAC meets the third Wednesday of every month (except December) at Rabobank at 7pm. Supervisor Gibson almost always attends, as does the Council’s county planning department liaison, Airlin Singewald.
The county is currently accepting comments on its Conservation and Open Space Element (COSE) of the General Plan, an item of interest to many in Cambria. At this Wednesday’s meeting, an ad hoc committee will be formed to review the COSE draft and suggest comments for the full council to submit. Committee members need not be regular elected members or alternates. Anyone in the community with an interest in what the committee is studying is welcome to participate.
If you have an interest in reviewing the COSE and helping shape the comments from the community, please attend the meeting Wednesday January 21 at 7pm. If you cannot attend the meeting, you may contact NCAC Chair, Amanda Rice by calling 4191 or sending an email to find out more. You can read the COSE draft using the link in the previous paragraph.
NOTE: NCAC elections are coming up at the beginning of May for geographical voting areas (GVAs) 1, 3, 5 and 7. See the map on the NCAC website to see if your neighborhood needs candidates. The deadline for applying to be a candidate is March 18, 2009.

Cell phone tower, again….
It’s way past due and time to stop talking and start building a cell phone tower.
Open minded people who embrace technology want there cell phone to work, therefore action not talk. Open minded people who embrace technology will not move here because their cell phone does not work lowering the value of our homes. Open minded people who embrace technology will not vacation here because their cell phone does work hurting small business people and in part why we have so many empty stores on Main street.
I know there is a fear of those in charge politically that open minded people who embrace technology will move here if we have cell phone reception and they will not vote for those who are currently in charge politically and is why Bruce Gibson has denied the people of Cambria the cell phone technology available to the poorest countries on Earth. Change is his deepest fear and Open minded people who embrace technology are thinkers, educated and will not support Bruce Gibson and the current political status.
This time I hope open minded people are finally able to have the same technology available in third world countries.
Talk about despoiling Fiscalini Ranch with athletic fields and bright lights and you would deny the best location in Cambria for a cell cite way at the top of the ridge and even disguised as a tree. What century are you people living in? The addition at the church site won’t benefit Marine Terrace at all.
