Samuel Morris laid out a plan for the Pebble Beach area in 1932 which <br />included wildlife corridors intended to preserve open space in perpetuity. This effort to <br />preserve the natural habitat has been extremely successful in a highly developed and <br />populated area. Much of the land is developed as 1/4 acre lots which have a feeling of <br />openness because of the wildlife corridor running behind theirs. The residents of the <br />Stoney Creek Basin area have a unique opportunity to make the democratic process work <br />for them through participating on this Work Group. <br />ANNOUNCEMENTS: <br />Attendance: Elio Soldi and Don Willhoit called to say that there were unable to attend. <br />Members were reminded to contact staff about absences. <br />Meeting Dates: A new meeting schedule is being considered for the remainder of the <br />meetings. The new date would be the fourth Thursday. Please contact Gene Bell if you <br />
