Photo: August 13, 2009. There's room for a trail behind the Sam Menlo owned Riverglen Apartments. (Click on photo to enlarge.)The Santa Monica Mountains Conservancy's appeal of the 120 unit condo development for the Menlo Property goes to a vote in City Council today. The City failed to require a General Plan Amendment to remove the trail from the property despite the trail being in the Community Plan since its inception in 1984.
If the City fails to require a Plan Amendment, it will set precedent for planned trails to be easily removed from future developments without going through the required public process.
