Congregating during COVID-19 The Kumai Oysters from Baja is one of the best selling items featured at the hotel, as during happy hour each oyster only costs $2.

General Manager of the Hotel Ingrid Braun is a fan of the Penn Cove Mussels made by the hotel as they are cooked in a blue eyed blond lager with a side of crisp sourdough bread.

Churches continue outdoor services in red tier

What helps set Mar Monte apart is its rotating menu options of seafood depending on what is available and fresh. The menu is picked out by executive chef Nathan Lingle.

Happy Hour at Mar Monte Hotel

By ANNELISE HANSHAW NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

Sets of one to three chairs, covered in violet fabric, dot Trinity Episcopal Church’s labyrinth patio Sunday afternoons. Three rounds of parishoners come to partake in Eucharist, a sacrament where bread wafers are consecrated and eaten. But before they eat the bread, there’s a few safety protocols to pass. Upon entry, church members and visitors get their temperature checked. Newly cleaned umbrellas sit beside hand sanitizer stations. This is part of the protocol Trinity set to provide a spiritual and safe experience. Although churches are able to open at 25% capacity in the red tier, many in Santa Barbara are keeping doors shut and opting for outdoor service. Many have been utilizing live streaming services while meeting outdoors and at a distance. Worshippers bring chairs or

blankets and leave masks on to sing. Other churches are purely online, without a proper outdoor space. Resources are part of the reopening discussions churches are having. Trinity’s rector, Reverend Elizabeth Molitors, said the church needs to upgrade its ventilation system before opening the 108-year-old building. “Safety is utmost in our mind, and this setup has worked pretty well,” she said. “At the time that we move inside the building, we’re gonna have to rewrite all these protocols.” Rector Molitors washes her hands during the service before handing out wafers to participants. Everyone wears masks except for a few seconds to eat the wafer. There are take-home Eucharist bags too for those who don’t feel comfortable meeting in person. Please see CHURCH on A7

Mar Monte Hotel, located at 1111 E. Cabrillo Blvd. has brought back its happy hour, which is between 5-7pm, Sundays through Thursdays. It is open to the residents and locals.

By JORGE MERCADO NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

With many people hoping to gain a little sense of normalcy with each passing day, the Mar Monte Hotel at 1111 E. Cabrillo Blvd is bringing that back something that’s familiar for any person over the age of 21: Happy Hour. The newly opened hotel brought its happy hour back a little over a week ago, open to both people staying at the location and locals trying to filter in for a nice spot. It is from Sundays through Thursdays from 5 to 7 p.m. “We really just want to embody this community,” Ingrid Braun, the hotel’s GM, told the News-Press. “We want to be a fun place not just for the guests, but for our locals. I’ve always been a lover of happy hours myself, and myself and the team since day one we wanted to get some local awareness through happy hour.” In the past couple of weeks, people have been loving the happy hour. According to Ms. Braun, she has received a ton of positive feedback. More importantly, the hotel is able to provide this happy hour while also making sure it keeps patrons safe. This is because the

The hotel isn’t just serving up traditional meats with its deal, it’s actually serving some fresh seafood. This also means the menu is changed almost daily depending on what is available and what will be most appetizing to customers. outdoor space is very vast and open, allowing for people to maintain social distancing. “We do have a backup spot if we have overflow space, but it really hasn’t’ come to that. We do hope one day it comes to that, but for right now we are okay. All our employees have been following the CDC and county guidelines for months, and we are confident we can continue doing that,” Ms. Braun said. The food is also what helps set Mar Monte’s happy hour apart. The hotel isn’t just serving up traditional meats with its deal, it’s actually serving some fresh seafood.

customers. Drinks are also changed almost daily to keep the atmosphere fresh and not give locals or residents the same experience every time. “It’s not just your run of the mill french fries and chicken wings, it’s actually quality food,” Ms. Braun said. “I feel like it’s a happy hour like no other just because the quality is great.” Executive Chef Nathan Lingle is who decides on the rotating menu, and Ms. Braun said he is always excited to have the freedom to constantly change to keep it fresh.

While it could be argued Halloween has lasted yearround in 2020 since everyone has been wearing a mask, Oct. 31 is approaching. And that means the Santa Barbara County Public Health Department is providing guidance to mitigate the spread of COVID-19 and keep the season from being truly scary. As expected, trick-or-treating is one of the traditions that cannot occur as it usually would this Halloween. However, Public Health officials provided a “modified” trick-ortreating plan involving ideas such as tongs or grabbers to avoid direct contact with candy, graband-go bags, and hanging candy from streamers and six foot tables from the door to ensure physical distancing, with families “watching from the porch.”

“Traditional trick-or-treating will not be an option for kids this year,” Public Health Director Dr. Van Do-Reynoso said at the COVID-19 virtual press conference on Friday. “If you choose to pass out candy, consider a plan for social distancing and not directly touching the candy.” She said face coverings need to be worn correctly and costumes shouldn’t obstruct wearing a proper face covering. She encourages parents to decorate face coverings together with their children and to establish ground rules for social distancing. “We highly encourage everyone to celebrate creatively without gatherings,” Dr. Do-Reynoso said. “You can do this (trick-ortreat), but do it moderately, and make sure that you do it safely by restricting your movement and avoiding crowds.” In a statement released on Thursday, Dr. Henning Ansorg, Please see halloween on A8

The nazca booby demonstrates its grace in flight. Author Joan Easton Lentz shares more than her passion for feathered friends in “Story of a Santa Barbara Birder.”

‘Godmother of Birding’ By MARILYN MCMAHON NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

J

oan Easton Lentz has been referred to as the “Godmother of Birding,” so it is no surprise that her new book is titled “Story of a Santa Barbara Birder” (Mission Creek Studios, $35 and $14.95). But the story is about more than her passion for her feathered friends. It’s a memoir about her illustrious family and her affection for Santa Barbara, where she was born in 1943. “I hit the jackpot. I inherited my love for writing from my grandfather and father, and my roots are in Santa Barbara, which is a special place in the United States for its variety of birds,” said Mrs. Lentz during a phone interview from her home in Montecito. “I love teaching, I love

writing, and I love birds.” Her maternal grandfather was Frederick Faust, the prolific author of Western novels and magazine stories in the 1920s and 1930s. “Most of them were under the pen name of Max Brand. He also created the Dr. Kildare characters, which were serialized on television in the 1960s,” said Mrs. Lentz. “My paternal grandfather was Robert E. Easton, who graduated with a civil engineering degree from UC Berkeley and came to Rancho Sisquoc to survey the boundaries of the 40,000-acre ranch.” Mrs. Lentz’s parents were Robert O. Easton and Jane Faust Easton, who met on a blind date. “Their backgrounds were completely different. My mother grew up in Italy in a Florentine villa, and my father treasured the

times he spent riding with his dad, exploring the Sisquoc Ranch and beyond. It turned out to be a match made in heaven, and they remained deeply in love throughout their lives,” she said. “My father, who graduated from Santa Barbara High School and then went East to Andover and Harvard, was groomed for a future in business or one of the professions, but all he wanted to do was be a writer, which was fine with my mother because she truly, truly believed in writing and books.

He also taught English literature at Santa Barbara City College and was an environmental activist in the 1980s and 1990s.” Mrs. Lentz bubbled with enthusiasm as she reminisced about her childhood, living on the Riviera with her parents and her three sisters — Katherine, Ellen and Jane. “We lived in a George Washington Smith house that was rather ramshackle. My mother was a tall — 6 foot — elegant woman who was knowledgeable in

all sorts of subjects, but she didn’t care about furniture and other material possessions,” said Mrs. Lentz. “My bedroom was upstairs and had views of the beaches and the city and the islands. This is where my love for Santa Barbara began.” Days were spent riding around town on her bicycle, at various beaches with her mother and sisters and hiking and backpacking in the backcountry with her father. “I was always interested in birds but never told my friends about it for fear they would call me a nerd,” said Mrs. Lentz with a laugh. “It wasn’t until I was in my 30s that I decided to take an Adult Ed class in birding, and it really perked up my attention. I found people who were looking at birds in a whole different way. It was proactive. I became very excited.”

She began to go out in the field two or three times a week to bird watch, often with Karen Bridgers, the late bird columnist for the News-Press, and she began writing articles and books about birds. Paul Lehman and Jon Dunn became mentors. “The 1980s and 1990s were groundbreaking years for birders in California and the United States. I happened to get in on it. I was in the right place at the right time. I discovered that someone would employ you for your knowledge about birds,” said Mrs. Lentz, who taught birding classes for Santa Barbara City College Continuing Education (now the Center for Lifelong Learning) and led field trips for the Santa Barbara Museum of Natural Please see godmother on A4

History and Santa Barbara Botanic Garden. She also wrote books: “A Naturalist’s Guide to the Santa Barbara Region,” “Introduction to Birds of the Southern California Coast,” “Great Birding Trips of the West” and “Birdwatching: A Guide for Beginners.” In addition to her career in birding, Mrs. Lentz was also enjoying life with her husband, Gib Lentz, a local lawyer, and her daughter, Jennifer, and grandchildren Alex and Annabel. Then, in 2018, everything came to a screeching halt. “One day, I was out hiking and the next I was in Cottage Hospital in the intensive care unit with sudden onset pulmonary fibrosis. I was there for a month, and from the beginning, a phrase popped into my brain — old overnight. That’s the way I thought of myself,” said Mrs. Lentz. Although her lungs are ravaged by the virus that attacked them, she was determined to learn how to cope with the chronic disease. “That’s when I decided to write this book. I made a vow in my hospital bed that I would finish a memoir describing my life with birds, my growing up in Santa Barbara, my passion for nature in this place I live,” said Mrs. Lentz. In the introduction to her book, she writes, “I wrote this book to share with you how birds and nature have influenced my life. When I observe birds in their natural habitats, I am inspired by wonder and excitement. A feeling of deep joy and appreciation adds to these moments, intensifying the effect of the natural world . . . “Hand-in-hand with birding goes my affection for Santa Barbara and its surroundings. To love this land is to thrive and blossom in a place I’ve known since childhood. I was given an extraordinary chance to pursue my passion for birds in the region where I had roots. Growing up in Santa Barbara and returning here to spend my life pervades my feelings for birds and nature. “These interwoven facets scoop up my family, the houses we lived in and the places I visited as a child. It’s a mish-mash, an agglomeration.” email: mmcmahon@newspress. com

S.

S. sends me a turn of the last century Golden Oak dresser, in quarter sawn oak, with a serpentine

front. As you see, she has pulled it out of her house and is about to put a FREE sign on it — and set it on the Santa Barbara street where she lives. It looks like a dresser, but the drawers hardly slide anymore. Before she does, she wants to know if she should rethink her generosity. Have you noticed how many pieces of furniture and kitchenware are showing up on our streets? People are getting sick of their homes and their décor! And they are about finished with their interiors out of sheer boredom, as S.S. reports. Golden Oak was not only a type, cut and color of oak used for turn-of-the-century furniture, but it is also the name of a type of American furniture that is distinctive, and a true American style. In fact, some scholars call it the first true American style of furniture because it had three features that make it different from European and English furniture styles. Those features? The affordability and accessibility of the furniture designed to appeal to the growing American middle class. Secondly, the wood itself, which is American Oak, and, thirdly, the simple “American country” look of the style. This last point bears explanation: the style is curvy and organic, as opposed to geometrical, which lends an air of quaintness and informality to the pieces. Notice how S.S.’s piece has curved drawer fronts in a curved case piece. Previous to the period, from about 1820-1880, American furniture borrowed styles popular in Europe and England: the names of the periods tell this story: 1820 Hepplewhite (a British designer), Empire (based on the French Empire style favored by Napoleon), followed by the whole

period called Victorian, which itself was a series of European revival styles (Classical revival, French Revival, the Aesthetic Movement (based on the late Arts and Crafts style of England), and then Arts and Crafts itself, a distinctive nonVictorian style. But Golden Oak was a middle class popularist style that didn’t have an exotic origin. This style was running in tandem with a British style that made its way to America: Eastlake, after Charles Locke Eastlake(1833-1906) a British designer who eschewed the curving lines of the French Revival style and disliked the oppressiveness of the Victorian drawing rooms. Eastlake furniture was more intellectual and more formal, because it was more linear and more massive, but Golden Oak was for the American People, and designed for smaller modest homes. Not only did Golden Oak start a decorating craze, it was the woman of the house who chose the pieces. This was a departure from the tastemakers who, up until 1880, were men. The lines of the furniture were designed with this market in mind: advertisements,

such as those in Sears and Roebuck catalogues, showed a cozy country style interior with floral patterns and lighter colors, and that curving Golden Oak style. The construction was such that if Sears delivered it in pieces, almost anyone could join it, because there were no dovetails, no drawer liners, just a case piece empty in the middle with sliders simply pegs of curved iron, on two to a drawer cross- member. The problem is, after pulling the drawers 20 times, a heavy drawer carved grooves that rendered the drawer useless. S.S. asks what the value is. Here’s the problem: Everything that sells well now is linear, and geomantic, mid century-ish. Golden Oak style is the exact opposite of linear and coldly geomantic, the opposite of understated elegance. It is cute. And the cut of the wood makes it even cuter. For example, S.S.’s piece of wood is quarter sawn oak. That means that a round section of the log is cut in quarters and then shorter and shorter sections, so you see this mottled appearance of light and dark sections of the oak. This made inexpensive furniture look fancier. This is not exactly veneering, as that was an expensive technique, but mass-produced quarters of oak used to make figured wood surfaces. In short, someone would pay you about $20 for that dresser, and they might offer less because those grooves in each of the underdrawer sections have “frozen” the action of the drawer in place. So, it might be fun to see how long it sits on the street, S.S. Send me the timeline as it sits! I will be waiting to hear.

Pisces — The beginning of the week brings easygoing transits; that is, until the MarsPluto square on Friday. You’re someone who gives, gives, gives, Pisces, and someone could be taking advantage of that kind heart of yours this week. Try to set some boundaries and keep things lighthearted over the weekend.

CROSSWORD PUZZLE

Aquarius — Someone may be asking for more than you’re willing to give this week—and that’s all thanks to the MercuryUranus connection happening on Wednesday. Don’t be afraid to set those boundaries, Aquarius. Over the weekend, it’ll be the best time to dive deep into your projects.

Every number in the codeword grid is ‘code’ for a letter of the alphabet. Thus, the number 2 may correspond to the letter L, for instance. All puzzles come with a few letters to start. Your first move should be to enter these letters in the puzzle grid. If the letter S is in the box at the bottom of the page underneath the number 2, your first move should be to find all cells numbered 2 in the grid and enter the letter S. Cross the letter S off the list at the bottom of the grid. Remember that at the end you should have a different letter of the alphabet in each of the numbered boxes 1- 26, and a word in English in each of the horizontal and vertical runs on the codeword grid.

An optional prebid meeting is scheduled for this project on Thursday, October 15, 2020 at 2:00 PM at 1194 EAST MOUNTAIN DRIVE. This project is subject to compliance monitoring and enforcement by the Department of Industrial Relations (DIR). A contractor or subcontractor shall not be qualified to bid on, be listed in a bid proposal, subject to the requirements of PCC Section 4104, or engage in the performance of any contract for public work, as defined in this chapter, unless currently registered and qualified to perform public work pursuant to Labor Code (LAB) Section 1725.5. It is not a violation of this section for an unregistered contractor to submit a bid that is authorized by Business and Professions Code (BPC) Section 7029.1 or by PCC Section 10164 or 20103.5 provided the contractor is registered to perform public work pursuant to LAB Section 1725.5 at the time the contract is awarded. Prevailing wages are required on this Contract. The Director of the California Department of Industrial Relations determines the general prevailing wage rates. Obtain the wage rates at the DIR website https://www.dir.ca.gov/. The federal minimum wage rates for this Contract as determined by the United States Secretary of Labor are available at https://www.wdol.gov/. Copies are also available at the office of the Department of Public Works – Engineering Division, 123 East Anapamu Street, Santa Barbara, CA 93101. If the minimum wage rates as determined by the United States Secretary of Labor differs from the general prevailing wage rates determined by the Director of the California Department of Industrial Relations for similar classifications of labor, the Contractor and subcontractors must not pay less than the higher wage rate. The Department does not accept lower State wage rates not specifically included in the federal minimum wage determinations. This includes helper, or other classifications based on hours of experience, or any other classification not appearing in the federal wage determinations. Where federal wage determinations do not contain the State wage rate determination otherwise available for use by the Contractor and subcontractors, the Contractor and subcontractors must not pay less than the federal minimum wage rate that most closely approximates the duties of the employees in question. Inquiries or questions based on alleged patent ambiguity of the plans, specifications, or estimate must be submitted as a bidder inquiry by 2:00 PM on Wednesday, October 21, 2020. Submittals after this date will not be addressed. Questions pertaining to this Project prior to Award of the Contract must be submitted via PlanetBids Q&A tab. Bidders (Plan Holders of Record) will be notified by electronic mail if addendums are issued. The addendums, if issued, will only be available on PlanetBids, https://www.planetbids.com/portal/portal. cfm?CompanyID=43874. By order of the Board of Supervisors of the County of Santa Barbara this project was authorized to be advertised on Tuesday, January 23, 2018. Scott D.

Comeback wins are nothing new to future Hall of Fame quarterback Tom Brady. On Sunday, he authored another one. This time for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Brady threw five touchdown passes to five different receivers to lead the Bucs past the Los Angeles Chargers, 38-31 at Raymond James Stadium in Tampa, Fla. Brady, a six-time Super Bowl champion with the New England Patriots, rallied Tampa Bay back from a 24-7 second-quarter deficit. The veteran signal caller threw for 369 yards, and took the Bucs down the field late in the fourth quarter for the game-winning touchdown. It’s the 46th time Brady has produced a winning drive in the fourth quarter or overtime in a regular-season game. “Tom, he’s never behind in his mind. We can always make plays to win games,� Bucs coach Bruce Arians told reporters afterward. At age 43, Brady continues to show that he still belongs under center in the NFL. “How can you not believe in him? He’s the greatest to ever do it,� Tampa Bay receiver Scotty Miller said. “We just go in there and follow his lead.� Rookie quarterback Rookie Justin Herbert completed 20 of 25 passes for 290 yards and three touchdowns for the Chargers.

Virtual events planned for Water Vision Santa Barbara SANTA BARBARA — The city of Santa Barbara is hosting five virtual events this week as part of Water Vision Month. The events will be held as part of the city’s Water Vision Santa Barbara plan, which calls for a resilient, reliable, affordable and environmentally safe water plan that will serve the community for the next 30 years, said Dakota Corey, water supply analyst for the city. City staff is hosting a series of virtual “Lunch and Learns� from noon to 12:45 p.m. today through Friday, allowing residents to learn about key water topics and to ask questions. The virtual events include: Water Conservation Strategic Plan, set for today; Where our Water Comes From, on Tuesday; The Basics of Water Rates, on Wednesday; Methods to Optimize Water Resilience and Reliability, on Thursday; and an open house Q&A event on Friday. “We wanted this process to be as transparent as possible, with opportunities for us to hear the community’s needs and reflect them in the final plan,� Joshua Haggmark, Water Resources Manager for the city, said in a statement. “Water Vision Month is offered to extend those opportunities as widely as possible, in a virtual setting in light of the challenges our community is facing with COVID-19.� Residents are also invited to participate in Water Vision Month by engaging with the virtual community board.

A female Aedes Aegypti takes a blood meal. This type of mosquito is native to Africa but was recently spotted in the Hope neighborhood of Santa Barbara.

Foreign mosquito species found in SB A non-native species of mosquito, called Aedes Aegypti, has arrived in Santa Barbara. But are they here to stay? Let’s hope not. Aedes Aegypti are known to transmit viruses such as Dengue, Zika and Chikungunya and even the virus that causes yellow fever. These viruses are not active in California. Aedes Agypti are native to Africa but have been spotted in California since 2013. “It’s something to pay attention to. If we ever get transmission in California, then it’d be more concerning,� said Brian Cabrera, general manager at the Mosquito and Vector Management District of Santa Barbara County. A resident in the Hope neighborhood, near the intersection of N. La Cumbre Rd. and Foothill Rd., noticed aggressive mosquitoes. He remembered a report of Aedes Aegypti in Ventura County and wanted to see if his mosquitoes matched the description. He captured one and sent a picture of it to the

MVMD. The department caught another mosquito on the resident’s property, and a test proved it was an Aedes Aegypti. “If we can be very proactive about it and if the infestation is in a very limited area, there’s a small chance we can eradicate it,� Mr. Cabrera said. He recommends residents drain stagnant water, both indoors and out, and scrub the containers. Aedes Aegypti larvae can develop in as little as a bottle cap full of water. “Sometimes the places where they lay their eggs is not something we would think would collect water,� he said. “So people have to be diligent at looking for places where water can collect.� He checks everything from his rain gutters to his plants. Aedes Aegypti like to stay near humans and don’t spread as far as other types of mosquitoes. They bite during the day and night and love nipping at ankles. Residents with many mosquitoes should contact the MVMD. Mosquitoes do not spread COVID-19, according to the World Health Organization and a study published in July in Scientific Reports. —Annelise Hanshaw

She expressed concern after seeing other cities open up and have an increase in cases. “We’re expressing an abundance of caution,� she said. “And we have something that works well outside.� The Eucharist service is something that’s hard to do virtually. “It is something that I can’t do by myself.

the county’s public health officer, provided guidelines for this year’s Halloween. He reminded the public that gatherings are still prohibited, and suggested other ways to celebrate Halloween, such as watching Halloween movies at home, having a Halloween movie night at drive-in theaters, a virtual costume party, virtual craft projects and contests, or “reverse trick-or-treating,” which involves dropping gift bags or candies on other people’s porches. He also suggested “trunk or treating,” which is distributing candy in cars spaced out, and car parades where participants throw candy from vehicles or a socially distanced costume parade. Dr. Ansorg didn’t strictly prohibit trick-or-treating itself, but suggested a face covering as part of costumes. He advised against ringing doorbells or knocking on doors, and he suggested letting the treats sit for 24 to 72 hours after returning from trick-or-treating before handling or consuming. In light of this modified holiday, County Supervisor Gregg Hart announced a countywide virtual Halloween costume

The Santa Barbara City Council will meet Tuesday and receive a presentation on the capital improvement program annual report for Fiscal Year 2020. The current capital improvement program runs through FY 2024. The fiveyear trend for activity in much of the city’s capital programs continues well above prior levels. For example, the Streets Capital program is averaging over $25 million in expenditures annually. The fund’s prior year expenditures of approximately $34 million are approximately 70% of the five-year trend from two years ago. The Water Capital program is also trending upward at approximately $14 million in expenditures annually, exclusive of the Charles E. Meyer Desalination Plant Reactivation Project. This is up approximately 40% from the previous 5-year period, according to the staff report. The report will include information on Measure C projects, as well as water resources, and a CIP status report. Approximately $18 million of CIP projects were completed in the third and fourth quarters of FY 2020, which runs through June 30, 2020. Some of the 11 projects completed include: the Coast Village circle pavement project; railroad improvements on lower State Street; Cater cross tie and South Coast Conduit replacement project; La Colina sewer pump improvements; wastewater rehabilitation; water main replacement for East Beach town homes; and replacement projects for De la Guerra and Quiententos street bridges. Some 18 projects are in construction, totaling $56.6 million. These projects include: pavement maintenance; the Las Positas and Modoc roads multi-use path; Highway safety improvements; Tunnel pump station rehabilitation; and other water main replacements. An additional 30 CIP projects are in the design phase, with an estimated investment of $114 million. The projects that are in the design phase include: the FY 2022 water water main rehabilitation projects; a desalination conveyance main; the Carpinteria Street bridge project; electrical upgrades at El Estero; and a pump rehabilitation at the Laguna Channel pump station, according to the staff report. “Through a diversity of revenue sources, the City’s CIP is well funded. Currently, much of the CIP funds are for maintenance, which has afforded infrastructure managers the opportunity to address a significant deferred maintenance backlog. A large portion of this work is occurring within public streets. Staff is coordinating these efforts to sequence work in a cost effective manner that minimizes disruption to the public,” the staff report reads. Another item on Tuesday’s agenda has the council receiving information on the existing city and state requirements to provide affordable housing units in certain rental housing projects. The council will be asked to provide direction to staff regarding any potential local amendments. Also on Tuesday, the council will discuss amending the city’s grading ordinance to address grading less than 50 cubic yards on hillside properties. The staff report cites several recent grading projects that have raised concerns that additional verification should be provided for grading performed on a site that totals less than 50 cubic yards over any fiveyear period. During the July 21 Ordinance Committee hearing on this topic, the city’s Ordinance Committee asked staff to amend the current grading ordinance to include a self-certification program for certain grading activities that are currently exempt from a grading permit. The committee also asked for additional ordinance amendments enabling the city to require a detailed confirmation of grading quantities by a licensed professional when the city suspects that the self-certified grading exceeded the amount

Approximately $18 million of CIP projects were completed in the third and fourth quarters of FY 2020, which runs through June 30, 2020. of grading declared on the selfcertification form. On September 22, the city’s Ordinance Committee voted to refer the draft ordinance to the full council for the proposed amendments for a public hearing and consideration for approval. In other business, the council will take up an appeal of the Parks and Recreation Commission’s action to deny the removal of a Nichols Willowleafed Peppermint Tree located in the parkway at 2514 Castillo St. The appeal was filed by Blanca Benedict. On July 22, the commission voted to deny the request for street tree removal. The commission was unable to determine that one or more considerations outlined in the city’s municipal code satisfied the request, and that the removal did not provide valuable benefit to the state of the city’s urban forest. The tree was planted some 30 or 40 years ago and is one of only 30 of its kind in the city. The city’s Forestry Program maintains the tree. Ms. Benedict has twice applied for the removal of the tree, both in February 2017 and February 2019.

In 2017, the city’s Street Tree Advisory Committee and the Parks and Recreation Commission voted to deny the request for removal. The city council voted unanimously to uphold the denial. In 2019, a second application was received and reviewed. The denial was not appealed. In the latest appeal, Ms. Blanca Benedict is appealing the Parks and Recreation Commission’s denial of the tree removal application on the bases that the tree’s root system is causing damage to the sidewalk and the roadway, concerns with possible future limb failure, sight line issues exiting the driveway, and that the tree is not the currently designated species for the 2500 block of Castillo Street. The Parks and Recreation Department recommends the council deny the appeal and uhold the decision to deny the removal of the tree. Tuesday’s meeting is scheduled for 2 p.m. and will be held virtually. It will be streamed live at www.SantaBarbaraCA.gov/CAP. email: mwhite@newspress.com
