Party time for Ahwahnee
OK for Area Plan, clean-up project at sanitarium cause for celebration
AHWAHNEE - They're planning on baking some cakes here for a celebration of the formal approval of the new Ahwahnee Area Plan, a guide to the future of the community.
The plan goes before the county Board of Supervisors on Tuesday, September 21. There was no opposition when the plan was adopted by the county Planning Commission several weeks ago and smooth-sailing is expected when the supervisors react.
Regardless of how smoothly things are likely to go, leaders urge a big turnout at the supervisors meeting. (Starts at 11 a.m. at the Madera County Government Center.)
When the Ahwahnee Community Council does its monthly thing, the celebration will be the highlight. The council meets on the first Wednesday, meaning October 6 will be party-time. Location: Wasuma Elementary School, starting at 7 p.m.
At least a couple of residents who attended last Wednesday evening's meeting promised cakes. One was even heard to offer ice cream.
The area plan is a technical document drafted by locals anxious to separate Ahwahnee's future from that of Oakhurst. A joint Oakhurst-Ahwahnee plan had been the guide for several years, but that plan goes more to regulating commercial development, whereas the Ahwahnee interest centers on residential development.
The celebration might also be a prelude to an even greater celebration, an annual affair of community-togetherness and one that might evolve into a fund-raiser.
"A big town block-like party, was one definition offered by area resident Scott Adelsbach.

BASS LAKE - A busy agenda faces the county Planning Commission when it holds another of its period meetings in Eastern Madera County later this month.
