IN HOMESTEAD VALLEY ALL ARE EQUAL EXCEPT SOME ARE MORE EQUAL
 
SUPERVISOR KINSEY AND DPW DIRECTORS BEAUMONT;
 
MARIN HORIZON SCHOOL CORPORATION INC. WITH YOUR'S AND DPW'S AID  IS IN THE PROCESS OF TURNING MELROSE AVE. INTO A INTO A PRIVATE MARIN HORIZON SCHOOL CORPORATION INC.ENTRY AND CLIENT PARKING LOT.
 
SUPERVISOR KINSEY AND DIRECTOR BEAUMONT: TO RESOLVE MARIN HORIZON SCHOOL CORPORATION INC. UNSUBSTANTIATED AND UNJUSTIFIED CONCERN FOR THE SAFETY OF ITS EDUCATIONAL CLIENTS WHY DON'T YOU AND DPW SIMPLY REQUIRE MARIN HORIZON SCHOOL CORPORATION INC. TO COMPLY WITH THE FOLLOWING COUNTY ORDINANCES INTENDED TO PROTECT THE SAFETY OF DRIVERS AND PEDESTRIANS ? IS MARIN HORIZON SCHOOL CORPORATION INC. MORE EQUAL THAN ITS NEIGHBORS AND HELD TO BE ABOVE THE LAW BY MARIN COUNTY ?

1. COUNTY ORDINANCE 24.04.351 a) THAT ALL PARKING FOR MARIN HORIZON SCHOOL CORPORATION INC. RELATED PARKING (STAFF, PARENTS, VISITORS AND VENDORS) SHALL BE ON SITE.

2. COUNTY ORDINANCE 24.04.340 p) THAT MARIN HORIZON SCHOOL CORPORATION INC.'s PASSENGER DROP-OFF/PICK-UP AREA (NOW ON MELROSE AVE.) SHALL BE ON-SITE.
HOMESTEAD VALLEY FOLKS LIVE HERE AND USE MELROSE AVE TO ENTER/LEAVE HOMESTEAD VALLEY.
MARIN HORIZON SCHOOL CORPORATION INC. EDUCATIONAL CLIENTS USE MELROSE AVE. BETWEEN 9:00 AM AND 4;00 PM 5 DAYS A WEEK FOR LESS THAN 270 DAYS A YEAR.
HOMESTEAD VALLEY RESIDENTS USE MELROSE AVE. 24/25 7/7 365/365
FOR MORE THAN 120 YEARS A SCHOOL HAS OPERATED ON MELROSE WITHOUT ANY REPORTED CAR PEDESTRIAN INCIDENT.
MHS' TRAFFIC CONSULTANT STATED IN MHS' 2004/2005 ENVIRONMENTAL INITIAL STUDY THAT TRAFFIC VOLUME ON THE NEIGHBORHOOD'S SEMI-RURAL IS LOW ON LOCAL STREETS AND DID NOT RECOMMEND PROVIDING 2 CROSSWALKS LESS THAN 50 FEET APART ON MELROSE AVE, OR NARROWING MELROSE AVE TO 20 FEET WIDE 2 FEET NARROWER THAN COUNTY SAFE MINIMUM WIDTHS.

MARIN HORIZON SCHOOL CORPORATION INC. SAFE ROUTES TO SCHOOL APPLICATION FOR FUNDING DID NOT DISCUSS NARROWING MELROSE AVE. TO LESS THAN THE COUNTY SAFE MINIMUM COUNTY WIDTH OF 22 FEET.
 
PERHAPS THE REASON FOR THE COUNTY DETERMINING MARIN HORIZON SCHOOL INCORPORATED INC.' SIDEWALK PROJECT TO BE "MAINTENANCE" WAS TO AVOID EVALULATING THE NEGATIVE IMPACT OF NARROWING MELROSE AVE, TO LESS THAN A SAFE WIDTH AND TO KEEP THE NARROWING SECRET IN ORDR TO NOT ALERT ALL OF HOMESTEAD VALLEY RESIDENT DRIVERS
THE NARROWING OF MELROSE AVE. TO LESS THAN SAFE STANDARD DRIVING WIDTHS.
