Some of the possible sites considered |
/1/ Wilseyville General Store - closed for years; opposite a
huge propane tank; unfenced; |
adjacent to the Wilseyville United States Post Office.
Security is impossible. |
/2/ The former Gringo Chuck's restaurant - later an upholstery
shop. Good bones as far the |
structural beams were concerned. It was unclear if a septic
system could be fitted in. |
/3/ West Point General store - much too small and tied up in
litigation |
/4/ West Point Oddfellows Hall - major structural upgrades
needed and parking challenges |
/5/ Zip's barbershop on Highway 88 in
Pioneer - major surgery needed to the interior. |
Several students and potential
students really disliked the highway noise and bad air. |
/6/ The Roman Catholic mission West
Point - the Archdiocese in Stockton prefers to keep |
/7/ Blue Mountain Youth Center West
Point - we had a meeting. Not a match. |
/8/ Railroad Flat school in Railroad
Flat - major repairs needed and nobody would approve |
the road due to poor design, worse
repairs, dark cell phone areas and fire danger |
/9/ Nothing big enough and available
in Mokelumne Hill |
/10/ former Glencoe general store - a
wreck. Also multiple households in buildings of |
dubious legality and in varying
states of structural soundness. |
/11/ It felt like every abandoned
(and one active) marijuana grow for miles around. |
There are general plans for town
centers for even Census Defined Places like Glencoe and |
Wilseyville. The Calaveras County
Planning Department believed that my location would |
have to be zoned commercial, although
they noted as an ordained minister I could file a |
RLUIPA (Religious Land Use and
Incarcerated Persons Act - a federal law) letter. |
