Planning panel delays Honeyman Ranch vote amid traffic concerns
After hours of discussion the Planning Commission postponed a recommendation on the 126 home Honeyman Ranch project off Rancho Viejo Road north of Ortega for a couple weeks to allow more review of traffic and other issues. Residents voiced opinions with most living near the land for decades supporting the proposal while a few warned of increased traffic in a congested town. Sal Scarantino, a neighboring property owner, said the project would be less harmful than alternatives and praised the developer Grabie for addressing concerns.
