In conducting her survey, Ms Uribe could have asked a third question: "Do you know that the Goleta Design Review Board has reviewed plans for another hotel at the corner of Storke Road and Phelps Road?" This hotel was long planned as a part of the Camino Real Marketplace complex, along with a soccer field and an ice skating rink that have yet to be built. Notices that the DRB would be reviewing each of these three proposed hotel projects appeared in the Goleta Valley Voice and in the DRB agendas posted on the City of Goleta website http://goleta.govoffice.com/

One reason this part of the Bishop Ranch hasn't been farmed for many years is they have no water. Their water supply from Lake Cachuma is instead being given to Goleta Water District (delivered to the District's Corona Del Mar Water Treatment Plant in the foothills on the ranch on the north side of Cathedral Oaks). In exchange, the District is providing water to the Camino Real Market Place. So water that was originally intended for agriculture is instead being used for commerce. And this transfer is perfectly legal, according to the parties involved.

There is a strange history of "community activism" by Roy Zbinden: 1) Reagan years - serves as member of local security detail guarding POTUS Ronald Reagan during Western White House visits, 2) 2004 - fails in attempt to ride Jean Blois' coat tails onto the Goleta City Council, 3) 2005 - becomes president of organization called "GoletaTomorrow" <www.GoletaTomorrow.org> to "ensure a brighter future (sic) for Goleta," 4) 2006 - hosts City Council candidates forum at Maravilla; is caught another night in the act of removing opposition candidates' yard signs, 5) 2008 - has GoletaTomorrow endorse Jean Blois for City Council; is revealed as the local rep for the phantom "Coalition for a Healthier Goleta" PAC that is slamming Margaret Connell and Ed Easton. Makes you wonder what Zbinden's fellow "community activists" have been up to.
