Project location and area, north of Hillcrest off of Highland Place.
Project plan.
The city is asking for comments on a plan to build three homes and add a flood control basin at 347 Highland Place, on hillside property north of Hillcrest . An environmental study for the proposed Hillside Subdivision at 347 Highland Place will be available for review starting Monday, Feb. 10. The project would subdivide 7.8 acres into four parcels, build three single-family homes, and add a flood control basin. You can see the Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration here or at the City Hall Planning Division through March 12. Submit written comments by 5 p.m. that day by ground mail (Attn: Planning Division, 415 S Ivy Ave., CA 91016) or by email at planning@monroviaca.gov.

You can oppose it but unless they deem it undoable it will get permission. City is too intent on the property taxes. So there will be a flood prevention basin built - great. Residents will have issues with wildlife, residents will have to evacuate in the event of fire. Obviously NOTHING has been learnt by recent fires.. Oh, well..
ReplyDeleteWithout even looking at the attachments I knew it was a Bowden project. It’s going to get rubber stamped.
ReplyDeleteLet’s see if anyone can get insurance after it’s built
True Bowden must be on the City Council
Deletebecky = bowden , larry = bowden
DeleteI hope the city places ADDITIONAL property taxes on these properties to pay for the additional police security, fire security, mail service. Water services, traffic increase, school services, etc.
ReplyDeleteMonrovia the people not the government should place a moratorium on building anything in the hills, and should bring it’s selected government officials to account on public forums
He’ll no
ReplyDeleteHow about fixing many of the broken street lights first?
ReplyDeleteWho in the living hell wants to build more houses in the hills after what happened in Altadena? You all got a death wish or something
ReplyDeleteSo N. Monrovia get homes while S. Monrovia get these huge Apartment buildings with no infrastructure in place in the form of Police, Fire and streets. These Apartment complexes are eye sores. Thanks Monrovia as usual below the freeway gets dumped on again. Oh and by the way lets close Santa Fe school and make these kids go to even MORE crowded classrooms above the freeway. Thank you Greedy Monrovia City council.
ReplyDeleteWhat is the matter with the City Counsil? Have they lost their ever loving minds? Are you listening? Why did we fight to get the hillside into the conservancy?
ReplyDeleteThis is so wrong on so many levels.
Put a moratorium on building. Stop the eyesores being built, and being planned.
Monrovia used to be a lovely small town.
I agree.
DeleteEasy answer, taxes.
ReplyDeleteFigure each house is 2 million plus that’s an extra $100k a year in property tax
Sun.. Feb. 9 front page LA Times headline says it all: OFFICIALS KEEP LETTING HOMES BE BUILT ON HILLSIDES AND IN CANYONS AS FIRE RISKS WORSEN
ReplyDeleteCan we print these comments and take them to our city "leaders"... seems pretty clear that there should be NO building in the hillsides.
