This Week – DeTurk at Planning Commission

Apr 9, 2012 in Clean-up, Miscellany, Public Meetings

Two important dates for Westenders- April 12th – Public Hearing on DeTurk Round Barn’s Use permit at the Planning Commission and April 14th- DeMeo Park Cleanup. As a neighborhood that cares about where we live, we take part in changes and improvements that will affect the West End.  

April 12th, ThursdayDeTurk Round Barn Use Permit at Planning Commission.  This Thursday night S. R. Recreation and Parks Department will be asking the Planning Commission to modify the Conditional Use Permit that governs the operation of the Round Barn. In 2009 neighbors worked with the City for over six months and the impact from the weddings and events over the first year have been minimal. This is due to having a use permit that works. Now the Rec. and Parks department is asking for significant changes. What can you do? #1 Voice your objection to these changes by writing a letter or calling Noah Housh, City Planner, Department of Community Development – telephone 707-543-4322 or e-mail: mailto:nhoush@srcity.org #2 Attend the Planning Commission this Thursday, April 12th meeting starts at 4 p.m. but we are item 10- so this might start anywhere after 4:15 p.m.

Wineyard seeks urban niche in Santa RosaThe Press Democrat has a nice article about the Wineyard Collective. Many of us have already spent lots of time at D”Argenzio Winery but perhaps you haven’t had a chance to visit the Wineyard. It is a collective tasting room for four local wineries on of them is Shone Farm, the teaching farm for S. R. Junior College. It also has a beer tasting room. No need to drive out to far away tasting rooms… when there is a urban winery within walking distance!

 

Wineyard is a new West End sponsor
