Council, District 2

Canyon Neighborhood Association Questionnaire 2/25/06

1. As the cottonwoods along the bosque continue to die,
many residents believe that our river is being sacrificed to
overdevelopment.  Would you actively support legislation
requiring the city to manage the Santa Fe Canyon reservoirs
so that enough water is released from McClure Dam to
guarantee a constant flow in the river?

Yes. I wholeheartedly support a living, sustainable river
in Santa Fe.

2. Many District 1 and 2 residents are concerned with the
negative impact infill development is having on our
neighborhoods.  Would you support legislation to discourage
more infill in the historic districts by restricting lot
splits and prohibiting timeshares and condominiums?

Yes.  Absolutely.  Unequivocally.  These are key components
of my platform.

3. Traffic problems in Districts 1 and 2 grow worse every
year.  Banning large commercial buses and semi-trailer
trucks from the Historic Districts would improve the quality
of life and provide business opportunities for smaller
locally-owned delivery and tour companies.   Would you
support such a ban?

Yes.  A ban would also help reduce air pollutants and would
reduce the      weight and vibrations that affect our
underground sewer, gas and water     lines.  I live on lower
Canyon Road.  I know the problems well.

4. The air quality in Santa Fe continues to deteriorate. 
Would you support legislation requiring vehicle emission
inspections similar to those currently enforced in
Albuquerque?

Yes. I moved here from a community where proof of
inspection was required prior to the renewal of a vehicle's
registration.  I was surprised that the process was not
required here in Santa Fe.

5. Many residents have recently complained that the
city's ordinance against short- term rentals is not being
enforced.  As a councilor would you take action to ensure
that the law currently on the books is not weakened and that
it is vigorously enforced?

Yes, certainly.  Again, this is a key issue in my campaign. 
We do not need a committee comprised primarily of real
estate agents and management companies to "study" it.  We
need to maintain the 30-day-minimum stipulated in the
ordinance and enforce it.
