The village development is still alive. At their regular
meeting of January 17, the Bear Valley Water District Board assured the Bear
Valley Village Partners that they will work with the Partners to solve the
sewer capacity issue. The goal is to come up with a plan to insert into the
BVVP Environmental Impact Report. County Planner Brian Peters says the plan
has to be specific enough to allow public comment on impacts, but not
necessarily delineated down to the last detail.
