If you have any further arguments or challenges, then you are most welcome to take them up with Board members of those N.C.s. I am reporting what was approved by the Boards of the two particular N.C.s.<BR/><BR/>If an officer or officers of N.C.s direct me where I can find Board approved measures concerning the Ponte Vista project, I accept their knowledge about the measures and I reported the voting for those measures.<BR/><BR/>Again Mr. Field, I have kindly and now repeatedly requested that you avoid making comments on this blog. It appears your not accepting my request may say much about your continuing rage at me or others in San Pedro, and that is not appreciated by me and others.<BR/><BR/>When you continue to comment, while an uninvited guest, it makes your entire blog suspect, your positions questionable, your true motives suspect, and have many folks wondering what this development and that developer have on you.<BR/><BR/>When I make a request which is reasonable, in my opinion, and you choose to ignore it, who is unreasonable?<BR/><BR/>I have tried to end the "war" that others claim we are having, but it appears this blog enrages you so much that you still feel compeled to battle to the bitter end.<BR/><BR/>But, being as this blog is so much freer in its willingness to follow the Bill of Rights than your blog is, I won't moderate you or anyone else at this time.<BR/><BR/>Perhaps there are now many supporters of Mr. Bisno who are using "Tom Field" as their own aliases. If that is the case, both the real "Tom" is not being served by any of them, either.<BR/><BR/>This should all be settled by about June 19, I feel. That is in no way any implecation of a threat in any way to anyone. If someone believes it is, they are wrong and this comment notes and saves this information.<BR/>MWM Richardshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08644940232494534872noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34141007.post-67178742641619003852007-06-04T14:56:00.000-07:002007-06-04T14:56:00.000-07:00Mr. Wells,A.

There was no motion about Ponte Vista passed by Northwest.<BR/><BR/>Going back through their minutes to the beginning of 2005, there were resolutions passed for funding of the hiring of consultants, to devote an entire newsletter to Ponte Vista, for sending comments on the DEIR into the Planning Department.<BR/><BR/>At the January 9, 2006 meeting, John Greenwood stated "Our position as a Neighborhood Council is that we have real concerns about the density of the project."<BR/><BR/>1. This was a procedurally incorrect and unauthorized statement, since the full Neighborhood Council had not made a motion or passed a resolution that this was their position.<BR/><BR/>2. A statement by an officer, giving his own opinions during the course of an oral report cannot be construed a properly passed resolution by the entire Council.<BR/><BR/>3. Even in light of the foregoing, "...real concerns about the density of the project..." cannot be construed as a comprehensive statement regarding the entire development.<BR/><BR/><BR/>B. Should the Coastal Council produce a resolution, it is in complete violation of their own long-standing policy of not endorsing or opposing any development projects. Over the last few years, they have steadfastly stuck to their policy. Why would they suddenly violate it for Ponte Vista?<BR/><BR/>C. To the best of my knowledge, besides the Central San Pedro Neighborhood Council, only the Wilmington Neighborhood Council has passed a Resolution regarding Ponte Vista. The wording of the Resolution was to support the findings and recommendations of Janice Hahn's Ponte Vista Citizen's Advisory Committee.<BR/><BR/>Tom FieldTomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17267937914532269011noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34141007.post-48750378855447395272007-06-04T13:54:00.000-07:002007-06-04T13:54:00.000-07:00Howdy Mellonhead,I haven't read the latest RLN to ...Howdy Mellonhead,<BR/><BR/>I haven't read the latest RLN to see if there is something about Ponte Vista in it. James did propose a project based on his great lack of knowledge about the actual facts concerning the project.<BR/><BR/>It will probably take me until Tuesday or Wednesday to find that proposal, as it afforded me the opportunity to write directly to Mr. Allen questioning why he knew so little about a development whose sponsorship he heavily relys on, with their full page advertisements.<BR/><BR/>If Mr. Allen has come up with a second proposal he likes and it is mentioned in the latest edition, I will read that and probably post it and the other proposal he had.<BR/>MWM Richardshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08644940232494534872noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34141007.post-58607129693413731132007-06-04T13:18:00.000-07:002007-06-04T13:18:00.000-07:00Sue C. said: "Many of us were influenced by James ...Sue C. said: "Many of us were influenced by James Allen's editorial in a recent edition of the Random Lengths News where he laid out a reasonable compromise between the R-1 proponents and the original 2300 unit plan."

I did not take any time to read anything else, including comments, while I made the short visit to his blog.<BR/><BR/>However, being that I choose not to use moderation even though we all "enjoy" reading "michael.meacher" and "ted.carlson", two aliases of obvious supporter(s) of a larger development at Ponte Vista, I won't control who gets to have comments published on this blog.<BR/>MWM Richardshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08644940232494534872noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34141007.post-36280192121279993892007-06-04T12:06:00.000-07:002007-06-04T12:06:00.000-07:00Mr. Wells,Since Central was able to produce a copy...Mr. Wells,<BR/><BR/>Since Central was able to produce a copy of their Resolution, would it be unreasonable to ask of Coastal and Nortwest to produce theirs?<BR/><BR/>Tom FieldTomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17267937914532269011noreply@blogger.com
