Meeting to discuss ACT V

The Laguna Canyon Conservancy will meet Dec. 1 for a visual

presentation about ACT V.

The presentation by the group’s President Carolyn Wood and others

will focus on the reasons the conservancy appealed the Orange County

Planning Commission’s decision to grant a Coastal Development Permit

for the city to move and build a new corporation yard maintenance

facility at ACT V.

The meeting will provide a forum to ask questions and better

understand how the move relates to parking availability and the

development of the Village Entrance project.

The conservancy’s monthly meetings are open to the public and are

held at Tivoli Terrace, on the festival grounds. A no-host bar opens

at 6 p.m., and dinner starts at around 6:45 p.m. Dinner tickets are

$10 for members and $15 for nonmembers. They may be purchased at the

door with reservations.

Membership dues are only $10 per year. They are now due for 2004.

Dues may be paid at the door. For reservations, call Ed or Kit

Drollinger at (949) 494-6465. The reservation deadline is Nov. 29.

Beach League of Women Voters meeting. Also on the agenda will be a
