San Marino Subdivision Return to Plan Commission
At the Aug 10 San Marino City Council meeting Mayor LeSage urged action on a controversial three lot subdivision at California Boulevard and Bonita Avenue. Neighbors opposed to the single completed house pressed for council oversight by Vince Filutze over builders’ compliance citing irregularities and lacking licenses. The Yuan owners had been denied by planning bodies after initial approval, and the remaining two homes were halted after permit expiration amid neighbor complaints of poor quality and conflict with design standards.
