Homestead Valley takes actions

According to Maryan Barkley's "The Hilltopper" column in the Oct. 25 print edition of the Hi-Desert Star, the Homestead Valley Community Council took action recently on three controversial items:

• They will welcome the developer of the Flamingo Heights Ranch proposal (243 homes) to build if he adheres to the Rural Living Plan adopted by San Bernardino County (view pdf), which means no more than one house per 2-1/2 acres.
• They "took a stand against the possible annexation of Yucca Mesa by the Town of Yucca Valley" and are gathering signatures to forward to LAFCO. (Read more about the annexation attempt and LAFCO in this post.)
• They "lined up against the requested rate increases by Bighorn-Desert View Water."
