More on Rose, The Carmel Pine Cone, 03/27/2006

If elected, Rose said he would like to spend some of the next four years taking on the more "fun" aspects of city business that were set aside while the council grappled with serious undertakings such as the Local Coastal Program.

Yet, Councilman Rose was "surprised and even shocked that 300 structures had been initially characterized as historic." Mary Brownfield reported that Rose said some of the reports used to declare the structures significant "were so vague and bewilderingly undescriptive I found it hard to believe that if the designations were challenged any court would sustain them."

Question: If Councilman Rose and the other City Council Members were seriously grappling with the Local Coastal Program, then why is it that he is "surprised and even shocked" that 300 structures are on the Inventory of Historic Resources as part of the certified Local Coastal Program?
