San Bernardino County Board of Supervisors Actions. (press enterprise 112206)

BSRanch Perspective:

It would seem that the County Supervisors have a plan that includes a 15 acre build in Big Bear. The Big Bear Lake property will be called Valley View Estates, Project. how ever instead of the lots being on a 20 acre lot, they will be built on a 15 acre lot, size. Which is okay, gives more houses, to the Big Bear area, I don't know if that is good. but they ultimately will have more houses there, even though the lots are sizes smaller the terrain will keep the houses just as far apart.

The 4.42 Acre lots in Hesperia will be great, if you want to live there. Horses would be a must if they are allowed and but reading on that is the county offices buildings that are to be built there. Opps, here I was hoping for some good large horse property.

The Sata Ana River Trail is certainly taking off. the bike trail will be connected to that of the one in orange county The cost of the trail is a little alarming, but the over all benefit of the trail is and will be great, it is a way that people can ride their bicycles to work if they live close to the bicycle trail and away from traffic. it not noly is a great way to work on a clean fuel Environment, but a better way o get to work, except the days that you worked to hard to ride the bike home. LOL..but those were the best workouts for me. those days that I didn't feel like riding and then I got on the bike and wow. the best workout ever.
