Or anywhere else in Burbank where there’s lots of White people?
Tonight’s the night. Is our council majority going to allow in a lower-income neighborhood what is clearly a 7- or 8-foot-high fence when there’s no way in hell that any of them would put up with the same thing on their own block?
And why were these homeowners allowed to install such a monstrosity before they got the permit? Why would staff now reward them for it?
Burbank, California 
Are you saying they have horses behind the fence and its to keep the horses off the streets ?
I saw that tonight is also the night for bookoo tax dollars to build a bridge just for the bikers. That my gasoline tax at work once again ? Vote NO fix the streets with that money.
Now semi, sometimes we need to “go in the field”.
Internet photos are not always “dimentional”.
It would help to know when the wall footings were in place.
The complainant also objects to the “color” of house paint?
Stay tuned….even if you’re on a hobby Horse!!!!
“And why were these homeowners allowed to install such a monstrosity before they got the permit?”
Who’s going to stop them? The code enforcement patrol?
Well Anonymous3 I expect Rogers to be on patrol and stop walls as well as bike traffic on the bridge. Is he only prepared to sit in a chair on television and act stupid ?
If you set the standard as that of Dr. Gordon, then perhaps so.
Don’t get me started on Bob Frutos.
Council voted unanimously on the bridge restriction, so perhaps your hero Gordon should patrol the bridge?
Yeah, well your friend Rogers is a hypocrite.
He’s absolutely correct about the Rancho, but he’s too much of a phony to put his money where his mouth is.
I still think Rogers should patrol and enforce it after all he doesn’t do anything else that’s useful except suck up good air and exhale stank. er um er um er um
I don’t remember Rogers saying that the bridge restrictions were unjustified. So where is the hypocrisy in voting yes?
And your pal Gordon is only a year away from running for reelection. No way does he have the balls to thwart the Rancho.
No the police will be called when the bike riders break the law. Some have already said that they will.
Hate to pop your bubble but we have some fences very similar to this in the Rancho.
The height is the critical question. Are the walls you reference outside code permitted height?
If its shorter then Mr Piroli then its not even 6 foot tall and the employee said it just has to be under 6 foot.
What happened to that charade of “four feet”?
I hear the lady that was appealing it say she actually built the wall before the 4 foot law was even passed so go figure the woman built the wall and now she is complaining its too tall ? What a nut case that woman was and what was her complaint about rose bushes anyway ?
A fence was there already, but they recently filled it in with opaque slats. That’s a code violation.
From what I just read Im wondering if one of the new cyclops people maybe moved in and the cyclops cycilists maybe want fences like this all over Burbank.
I agree with everything he says there.
But I would have said much more that night. I would have brought up how they harassed Trader Joe’s out of the neighborhood across from Pavillion’s, thus delaying the arrival of that store in Burbank by almost six years.
I would have also reminded people of that same neighborhood’s horrible behavior towards Denny’s. They engaged in incredibly racist dialog about that company’s supposed late-night “customers” coming in from the “outside,” and then used this as THE reason to deny them a 24-hour permit — one of the few Denny’s in the country btw that isn’t allowed to be open all night.
I think Rogers would have been well advised to not say everything that was on his mind regarding the Rancho.
And I don’t know the date that Denny’s opened, but restaurants cannot have dining areas open overnight all across Burbank.
Coral was grandfathered in.
There’s also Harry’s and IHOP, before that Copper Penny.
So true almost nothing in Burbank is open after 10 pn and thats every part of Burbank.
Will spoke the truth about the Rancho snobs. They boxed out Whole Foods, those condos at GM , etc. And luddy should recuse herself from ANY Rancho related vote. Plenty of 24 hour places , and they dont have issues with “the” elements…CVS on Hollywood Way, Subway sandwich in same strip mall, Carls J same mall, McD on Verdugo , Vons on Pass , and just about every gas station
OMG the plaza at Verdugo has become a scary ghetto. I live close and no longer go there.
Actually Rogers would do better just sitting in silence as opposed to uttering complete nonsense all the time just to feel important.
He has a long way to match Gordon.
Well to me Rogers was a liar and owes the community an apology. I will cite only one lie for brevity. The signs were not stolen so why did Rogers have the need to lie ?
There is a difference between a mistaken impression and a lie.
You twit.
Yes and he lied.
Pish.
Ok so council show started and where is the groundhog Rogers ? He’s missing but the mayor said he’s here someplace. Ok so fire him for not being ready for the show.
He was hired by the voters (by a sizable margin) and only they can fire him.
Sorry to disappoint you.
How absolutely loving of you, Anon 3.
You finally said you were sorry on this blog.
Thanks for taking the time during a City Council meeting.
So why is Golonski’s wife called Miss Barbara Sikes and not Mrs Barbara Golonski ? The mayor announced that Mayor Golonskis wife Miss Barbara Sikes so they were not married or what ?
It’s Sykes, and what difference does it make to you whether they were formally married or not? They were together about 25 years and Golonski misses her deeply. Is that not enough?
I now want to know what the story was as well. Were they married or weren’t they married. I have missed people who passed away before but I didn’t pretend to be married to them.
Married. She continued to use her maiden name. Nothing wrong with that.
Possibly Sykes preferred to keep her family name. Is that a problem?
Its a question because the mayor called her Miss. If I should not know or ask then dont say it during a council meeting.
Someone please tell Rogers to stop talking already. Its like watching a bad soap opera.
Turn on Showtime or something if you don’t like it.
I pay taxes for the council to even be there so I have a right to express my boredom with Mr Rogers sitting there blathering on and on and if I want to say he should shut up I will say he should shut up
Tell it to the voters, a sizable majority, who elected him, sport.
Mayor Fruitoes needs a tutor or maybe he could buy hooked on phonics or something he needs help on reading.
he mangles the simplest of names, Jones, Smith . and just about every HISPANIC name….dude
Sorry but those painted utility boxes are anything but culture. They are the decline of culture.
Im’ all for painting the boxes , much like the hydrants that Semi posted recently. The job they did with the boxes is hideous
Yuck to these cultural arts commission people. They spend all this time and money to paint crap on those boxes ? Watch that encourage graffitti all over Burbank. They got a goal WOW they are contacting us so we take advantage of arts in Burbank ? What art in Burbank ???
Imagine that Gordon just read from council minutes 18 years ago where council directed airporr reports twice monthly and the staff just stopped doing it. Imagine that so what are they hiding.
Listening to the meeting and that neighbor causing trouble over the fence is just plain wrong. There were no other neighbors there to oppose the fence. I’m glad they allowed the fence.
They are going to move the airport to your front yard.
Boo!
Airport Commissioners will be back in front of the City Council, soon.
They and the City Attorney and staff and Scottieboy fucked-up.
Thanks to Dr. Gordon for his homework.
