Summary: Monday, August 6, 2012 The Santa Cruz County Board of Supervisors is back in session after their summer recess during July. You can get a link to the agenda for tomorrow’s meeting in the blog entry for today’s Land Use Report. The Land Use Report blog always provides both a transcript and links to related materials. It’s located at kusp.org/landuse. A couple of items on tomorrow’s agenda are worth comment. First, I want to give you a “heads up” on a public hearing item scheduled for later in August. That’s Agenda Item #50. You should mark the date of August 21st on your calendar, if you have any interest in the future of Aptos Village. On August 21st, the Board will be considering an application by Barry Swenson Builder to develop a mixed use, residential and commercial project, right in the heart of Aptos Village. Sixty-three residential units and 75,000 square feet of new commercial space are being proposed, along with the closure and abandonment of an existing roadway. Agenda Item #68 is an appeal by Cove Britton. Mr. Britton is a local architect, and he contends that the County has gone beyond its legal authority in trying to regulate the placement of hot tubs on the edge of coastal bluffs. As you might imagine, the County’s Planning Director doesn’t see it that way, and recommends the denial of Mr. Britton’s appeal. You can get the details in today’s transcript.
