Supervisors Delay Malibou Lake Vote
- Share via
The Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors has delayed a decision on the future of a proposed 15-house development in a neighborhood overlooking scenic Malibou Lake.
The supervisors Thursday postponed until Sept. 13 a final vote on the project, pending a review of an already-completed environmental impact study and a new study of the possibility of building a road into the development.
The development is proposed for wooded Crags Drive in the hillside community south of Agoura Hills, said David Vannatta, land use adviser to Supervisor Mike Antonovich.
Residents said a sewer built to serve the new houses would encourage further development in an area already at risk for a fire disaster because just one narrow road serves the neighborhood. They said that Crags Road cannot accommodate fire trucks and that evacuating residents and building more houses would add to the problem.
The supervisors directed the county’s public works, regional planning and fire departments to study the feasibility of building a second road into the neighborhood.
