    The main purpose of A1 zoning is General Agriculture. RV storage is a “conditional use” of A1.

    The main purpose of C1 zoning is Local Commercial. Parking is a “permitted use” of C1.

    Safari Mobile Home Park in Avery which also has outdoor RV storage is zoned U (unclassified).

    The outdoor RV storage in Angels Camp (if it’s still there) is zoned RA (residential agriculture) and M1 (light industrial).

    And MtnMax, you said:

    Not to mention the Property values for the poor folks in forest meadows….

    Why should I care what the property values are in Forest Meadows? I wouldn’t live down there if they gave me a place!

    Yes, T. Web, I agree. It appears someone has something personal going on here. This someone wants an RV storage facility zoned for agricultural use rather than local commercial use. Go figure….

    Last weekend we saw a sign in the Lube Room window that said a new liquor license was being applied for. Anyone have any info on what might be happening

    I think it’s great as long as they really put strong minds to gather and create well thought out landscaping. I for one am in need of a RV storage space. They have my vote!

    Pex piping is ideal for the extremes in temperature that we experience in he Arnold area. I am a building contractor and actually just completely re-piped a commercial building I own in Arnold with Pex pipe. I removed all the existing coper pipe as we have had had several occasions where the pipes have blown due to cold weather and the pipes were in insulated walls. Pex is definitely the way to go and is far cheaper and much faster to install than any other type of pipes for potable water.

    Look I am not opposed to this property being developed. I just want it to be done appropriately. Throwing out the zoning code to suit the developers needs is not appropriate here or anywhere else for that matter.

    The appropriate zoning for this facility is A1

    OK, I see PX is off site parking. So we have Meadowmont and Applewood both with C1 zoning. According to Tilte 17 of the Calaveras County code, C1 is approved for parking (which an indoor RV storage facility would be). Mini-storage requires C2 zoning.

    According to Calaveras County maps, both the Applewood Center and the proposed RV storage facility are zoned C1-PD. You’re saying there would be more congestion at the storage facility than the Applewood Center? And what is PX zoning? I see see the Meadowmont shopping center is zoned C1-PD-PX.

    What is the difference between C1 and C1-PD? I know PD means “Planned Development” but how does property get from C1 to C1-PD?

    We have a cast-iron, enameled decorative steamer on our stove, bought from one of the local wood-stove stores. It works great, but the interior is unfinished, and now rusty, so the hot water inside is not potable. L.L. Bean has a “Lattice Stovetop Steamer” you may like. The inside is also enameled, so may do double-duty as a cook pot.

    It will make it more comfortable inside as well. You can pick them up at Ace downtown as well, but any good heavy pot will work.

    There are two intersections to deal with here. Stop and look at all of the skid marks that go off of the road already. This area of the highway is already extremely dangerous and needs to be addressed. You are ignoring the most basic fact that it is not in the correct zoning. Fact is that if this is allowed in this zoning here. It can be done again in another C1 zone. As for making trouble hardly I actually would love to see something useful in this location. The current zoning allows for all kinds of very appropriate uses. However they would also require the developer to address the Hwy.

    Planning a plumbing project to replace some 55 year old galvanized that that has flow restrictions. Does anyone have any experience with PEX piping with our temperatures and whether it would be a viable alternate?

    I think that we got ours at the Red Store in Murphys but I suggest you might shop first in Arnold.
