Islanders oppose deviations for Publix, townhomes projects
One public outcry at hearing: ‘You’re ripping the heart out of Pine Island!
By PAULETTE LeBLANC - | Jul 7, 2021
Every proposed deviation at a public hearing Tuesday, June 29, at Pine Island Methodist Church, sponsored by the Greater Pine Island Civic Association, was voted down by Pine Island residents most of them left asking why the meeting was even necessary, since they feel they ultimately have no control over current or future development anyway.
Stacy Hewitt, director of planning for Banks Engineering, gave a five-point presentation on the changes they’d like to make to original plans for the new Publix and Orchid Cove Townhomes being built on Pine Island. After each of the five points of the presentation, the community was asked to vote whether they were in favor or opposed to proposals.

REDWOOD CITY, CA The number of RV dwellers in Redwood City has decreased by more than 75 percent over the last six months as it has rolled out a temporary safe parking program, according to city officials.
During a study session on homelessness Monday, Human Services Manager Teri Chin told the city council that Redwood City now has an average of 25 to 35 residents living in RVs each night, a drop from a high of 140 RVs parked on city streets six months ago.
The council approved a two-year, $1.7 million program last August that allows RV owners to park within city limits and get help from caseworkers with transitioning to permanent housing and finding employment. The city allowed some street permitted parking for RVs and up to 40 RV households can park at a safe parking site on Maple Street.
