RESIDENTS FILL AUDITORIUM FOR JOINT COUNCIL/ PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING ON PROPOSED MEADOWS HOUSING PROJECT Story and Photo by S. Henderson/MVNews On Tuesday, March 1st, the long an- ticipated joint meeting of the Sierra Madre City Council and the Sierra Madre Planning Commission was held at the Sierra Madre Middle School Auditorium. The meeting lastED five hours as both proponents and opponents of the 42 house project heard presenta- tions from city staff, representatives from the Mater Dolorosa Monastery and the developers New Urban West. After the presentations, there was two hours of public comment where 32 speakers expressed their concerns about everything from the overall impact of the project on the commu- nity and wildlife to whether or not the project presented a public safetyhazard as it relates to wildfires. In addition to the comments from those present, the city posted 24 emails received about the project. At one point, however, there were several comments that were "unnec- essarily rude and disrespectful" to the Catholic Church said one attendee who supports the Church, the project and the Church's right to develop on its land. On the other hand, outside a ta- ble was set up by the Protect Sierra Madre: Stop The Monastery HousingProject to gather signatures on a pe- tition that if successful, may put the fate of the project on the ballot for citywide approval. In a telephone interview with Mayor Gene Goss he noted that he was "very pleased with the turnout, and very pleased with the information that was presented." He noted however, that after the public comment period, many of the attendees left before their questions could be answered. This meeting was the first one af- ter the Environmental Impact Report was published. There are a series of other public meetings to follow.
