The final word on the controversial Brusatori subdivision near Sutter Creek came to a conclusion Tuesday afternoon after a lengthy public hearing at the BOS chambers’. Roger Stuart of Amador County Public Works Agency and Susan Grijalva Planning Director met with the Brusatori’s and representatives of the city on three separate occasions. During these meetings the city identified several areas of concern and those included:

 

• The height of the cut bank along the road due to the County’s requirement for a 26 ½ foot wide roadbed and a 20 foot wide paved road
• the potential visual impact on the ridgeline
• Landscaping/screening of structures
• The scale and color of structures and location of the structures on the property.

The Jackson Planning Commission is beginning to take a hard line on projects and homeowners that stray outside the rules as was evidenced by two discussions last week.

One of the most controversial items to appear before the Jackson Planning Commission on Monday night was regarding a project located on Amador Street.

The Jackson Planning Commission agenda was a full one Monday night as the Commissioners deliberated for 2 and half hours on the issues before them.
