Talk about water conservation! Nobody even questioned this and I always wondered why nobody brought this issue up. Obviously this was allowed because of the all mighty dollar and the big developers whom I am sure had quite a lot of clout. Also these big homes with all of their bathrooms are owned by the rich, so lets not punish them. <br>I play golf at a public course and it is probably the one thing I really enjoy. So let's punish me, the little guy and eliminate the green areas of the golf courses, which would be the whole course I guess. At the same time why don't we just eliminate all of the parks in the area too, make them lets say into asphalt parking lots that will conserve water.</p>keithwatsonSat, 25 Jul 2009 13:51:56 -0000http://www.carmelvalleyleader.com/news/258912-mad-may-have-extra-reserves#comment-13315105<p>Thank goodness that Chairman Dave McIntyre recognized the Carmel Creek Road's median. <br>Please though do not wait 3 years to start this work, according to your price increase in just 6 months from the original budget, it will cost an extra $196,692.<br>Also please don't forgot the median on the west side of Carmel Country Road at the Carmel Creek Rd. intersection. I have lived here for 16 years and this has been a dirt median. I understood that there was some type of a legal hassle and that the Baldwin Co. owned this little piece of land at one time.<br>Come on people lets get this median landscaped or something. When I have out-of-town vistors I avoid driving down Carmel Country Rd. because of this eye sore, it's embarrassing that such a rich community as ours has landscaping this bad.</p>keithwatsonSat, 25 Jul 2009 13:16:49 -0000
