On January 24, the San Anselmo Town Council voted to move forward with a CEQA (California Environmental Quality Act) Study on a proposed flood mitigation plan put forward from the County of Marin Flood Zone

9 staff. This is a big step in moving forward with a proposed plan for flood mitigation using Federal Grant and local tax dollars in San Anselmo and our neighboring communities. This plan includes various facets of flood prevention/mitigation including introducing new run off basins in various locations, etc. However, there is also a step in this plan that includes “building modifications” on “Building Bridge 2” – this is what we want to inform our customers, fellow San Anselmo residents/home owners and fellow merchants about.
“Building Bridge 2” is not just some obscure or empty structure in town- it is the building on San Anselmo Ave that houses L’Appart Resto, Coldwell Banker, San Anselmo Optometry and The Ranch hair salon. When the plan refers to “structural modifications” the “modification” at the top of this list is removal of the entire building and relocation of the current businesses. Relocation may be a reasonable solution for some businesses but harder for others, especially a restaurant that currently has a large sunny patio as one of its biggest assets. We want to urge our fellow residents, home owners and merchants in San Anselmo to join us in influencing the town council and flood committee to continue to look at alternatives to removal of this building while still working for the collective safety of the community. There are other options available and we urge the town to think creatively for solutions that don’t remove beloved local businesses from the downtown landscape and take away from the character of our town. At the same meeting on January 24, the San Anselmo economic development committee presented the results of their 2016 consumer survey which concluded that what local residents want in their downtown community is more restaurants/bars, patio/outdoor dining and family and pet friendly options. L’Appart Resto is one of the few already existing options providing all of those things to the community for over 6 ½ years in a location that had previously struggled. The restaurant is locally owned and owner operated and is very involved in the local community bringing not only great food, wine and a lively atmosphere to town, but consumers from surrounding areas as far as SF, local jobs and tax dollars. We want safety for our community, fellow merchants and ourselves, but know it can be achieved in a way that does not put our livelihood and that of our neighboring business owners at risk or negatively impact the atmosphere of our beloved downtown. In a town that already struggles to keep occupancy rates high in our downtown corridor, it would hurt the entire town economically and socially to be displacing existing businesses - merchants depend on other successful merchants – consumers want to shop and eat in places where there are many options, a variety to choose from and a lively buzz from foot traffic – home owners want to own in a thriving community where property values will appreciate. We urge our customers and fellow residents and merchants to become informed on these plans, attend town council meetings and read the published reports, and join us in asking our town leaders to do the right thing collectively for the town of San Anselmo and its loyal community.

Yesterday, the Board of Supervisors voted in favor of the Flood Zone 9 committee to move forward and destroy your building.
This is not the end yet, not sure when the relocation process will start and how long it will take.

We will keep pouring great wines and serving our delicious food until it is time for us to move forward, and of course you will be the first ones updated!

Thank you for your long time support,
We need you more than usual!!

Stay tuned.

Sign the Petition

Hello,
The draft of the EIR has been released last week, see below,
We don't know what is recommended yet, there is a 45 days period for public comments.
The board of supervisors is suppose to finalize the EIR in August, this is when we will know for sure.
As a reminder we would like to remind you that we will not fight against their decision (if they decide to destroy our building), but we will need your help to show them your support in order to get the best relocation possible.
We will of course keep you all updated!
Thank you for your support,
We will be happy to serve you until the end of the year (worst case scenario).

Marin supervisors consider buying San Anselmo building for flood control

Friends – another big step with regard to our Building Bridge #2 today.
The county has presented it’s option to buy the building to the County flood control board, which is also the Marin County Bd of Supervisors, and they accepted it.
If the CEQA is approved, this clears the way to relocate everyone, including L'appart Resto, and we will need to enter into relocation agreements.
We ask for your continued support & love as we look to the town and the county to work with us in a realistic way to find the best possible relocation situation!

We love San Anselmo. It is our home!

The county is considering buying a building in downtown San Anselmo for $1.75 million and tearing it down to aid flood control efforts in the Ross Valley.The building at 634 San Anselmo Ave. straddles San Anselmo Creek and is one of the causes

06/09/2017

We met with representatives of the flood committee and county of Marin, the EIR study that will decide if the building is removed will not be complete until March 2018 and we will not know anything more definitive until that study is finalized.

The good news is this gives us a lot of time to continue to serve you food and wine on the patio!!

We thank all of our loyal friends and fellow merchants for your support to this point and please continue to support us and each other by continuing to attend the town and flood committee meetings and speak out for what is best for all of San Anselmo!

Olivier and Alex.

Facebook friends, we want to thank many of you who were able to join the San Anselmo town meeting last night to talk about flood control and Building Bridge #2, where we are located.
We appreciate your support! What we learned more of is that the town is early in the process of figuring out how to address flood control and there are lots more conversations to come.
Thanks again for all your support and we'll keep you posted.
We look forward to seeing you soon at L'appart Resto
