LAKEPORT, Calif. – This week the Lake County Planning Commission will consider a proposal for a new BMX park near Kelseyville as well as a project to underground utilities on a portion of Mt. Konocti.

The meeting will begin at 9 a.m. in the board chambers on the first floor of the Lake County Courthouse, 255 Forbes St., Lakeport.

At 9:03 a.m., a public hearing will be held on a general plan conformity report sought by the Lake County Department of Public Services for the BMX park.

The park would be located on a half-acre of the existing Kelseyville Park, 5270 State St.

At 9:05 a.m., the commission will hold a public hearing to consider a mitigated negative declaration based on initial study for Red Lava Vineyards' plans for a small winery – 15,000 cases or less – a tasting room with retail and up to 26 special events a year at 8200 South Highway 29, Lower Lake.

At 9:45 a.m., a public hearing will be held on the Lake County Department of Public Services’ application for a general plan conformity report for the installation of underground utilities between the Riviera West Subdivision and the telecommunications tower on Buckingham Peak of Mt Konocti.

As part of the item, the commission will consider adequacy of the documents associated with a proposed mitigated negative declaration and mitigation  and monitoring plan for this project.

Based on the commission's recommendation on the documents, the Community Development Department director may consider adopting a mitigated negative declaration and issuing a complex grading permit for AT&T’s application for the installation of underground utilities on Mt Konocti.
