The neighbor who appealed a planned eight-unit affordable housing project in Bolinas withdrew his appeal the day before a California Coastal Commission hearing last week. Roland Crotts, who owns the house next door to the proposed complex, withdrew his objection in exchange for an opportunity to negotiate his concerns with the Bolinas Community Land Trust. Arianne Dar, the trust’s executive director, said the group hadn’t yet agreed to anything. “We have a green light, and we’re off and running,” she said. Mr. Crotts first appealed the project to the Board of Supervisors, his chief complaint being the plan to convert a two-way driveway he uses into an exit for the complex. The driveway lies on the land trust’s property, but Mr. Crotts said his family has used it for decades. Supervisors rejected the appeal, so Mr. Crotts appealed to the state agency. Ms. Dar said his lawyer approached the trust last Wednesday to suggest negotiations about the driveway in exchange for withdrawing the appeal. The move cleared the way for a unanimous approval at last week’s hearing. The coastal permit is now effective, and the land trust will now prepare construction documents and building permits. The development at 31 Wharf Road consists of two two-story buildings, with four three-bedroom units and four two-bedroom units, all dedicated to low- and very low-income tenants. The property is the only lot zoned for multi-family development in Bolinas.
