Not sure about license status but I talked with the new proprietor and they are shooting to be open by Frog Jump weekend.
I have had great success with A1 tree service in Murphy’s 736-6786. They also had the best pricing.
http://www.a-1treeserviceinc.comAny information on where I can drop off needles and trimmings would be great. I have used the miller yard but another location/option would be great.
dpalme,
I agree, statutes live forever, so it is important to act now.
I shared my concerns about this plan with friend who is a long time real estate agent in Arnold. She was also unaware of the proposed changes to the General Plan. The post card I received noted that the plan was made public in December 2014. But it took the county three months for me to receive notification. That would be ok, except the deadline for comments is March 20th. It makes me wonder how many people in the county are aware of these proposed changes that may affect their properties.
Fingers crossed the County adds the language to protect owners of per-existing legal un-improved lots.

Happy to be of help, Carl.
Personnel come and go, but statutes never seem to die. And if we ever do decide to sell (lot, home or both), it’s easier to just be able to point to the General Plan.
And thank you for taking the time to start this thread. To be honest, I’d not have done the digging if you’d not brought it up.
Thank you deplame for the research and further information. I too have a lot which is undeveloped. I will follow your lead and write an email to the County Planning Commission asking that they clarify land use of pre-existing legal lots.
I suggest Dave Finn. 795-7649. He takes care of all paper work and is insured.
Although, I’m not sure he is doing oaks. I’m sure he will recommend someone if he doesn’t.It has been over four years since we had a tall dead tree removed. We think the gentleman’s name was Jason Rolands or something close to that. Currently our insurance company wants some large branches removed from the old oak tree that in places overhangs our roof. Does anyone know how to contact Jason? Alternatively does someone have a recommendation for someone to trim some LARGE branches that overhang our roof. We would like it to be done by someone who not only takes care of the insurance company’s concerns but also maintains the beauty of the tree.
I called the Planning Department today to ask about development/rezoning of pre-existing lots in the BTV subdivision (as we have one).
Per the woman with whom I spoke, BTV will fall under the Residential Low-Density designation. That said, as long as the lot is a pre-existing, *legal* lot, the change in zone will not affect the ability to develop. There is a statute that allows for a single-family dwelling to be sited and for a perc test to be done to confirm septic suitability. So, as long as the lot tests ok for percolation, development would be allowed.
(For those following along, the questionable language is in the Land Use Element section, Page LU4. You can find that here: http://bos.calaverasgov.us/Portals/bos/Docs/BCC_SupplementalDocs/Planning_Commission/General%20Plan/2%20Land%20Use%2012-18-14.pdf)
The contradictory language is in defining the density for lots that have public water AND public sewer (<1 acre ok for development) and those that have public water and septic/OSWT) (min 1 acre), the latter being what we have here in BTV.
So, reassurances aside, I wrote an email to the Planning Commission requesting that the language be clarified regarding pre-existing legal lots such as ours. Not that we intend to build, or even sell off, but it’d be reassuring to have the right language in the General Plan.
Has anyone any information regarding the rumor that Brian Rowley may open his yard waste drop-off site for a short period of time this year?
I hope I am wrong, but looking today at the ABC home page and then to On-Sale licenses, no mention of the Lube Room. (Lube Room surrendered) .
Also, same search, New application report for March 12, the Lube Room is not mentioned.
If there is a site where we can get more information, I would like to know it.
