In yesterday’s meeting of the Planning Commission for Big Bear Lake, the Commission voted to keep both Chairman Anne Zimmerman and Vice Chair Richard Lambert in their current posts. Commissioners for the City, who are appointed by the City Council, also include Jim DeGroot, Craig Smith and David Caretto. As compensation for their time at first and third Wednesday meetings, Commissioners receive a $400 monthly stipend. In terms of action items at the January 6 meeting, the building requests from Snow Summit were approved, though per Director of Building and Planning Jim Miller, with some modifications in terms of architectural treatments. The resort additions will include a new, 10,340 square foot beginners center and ski and snowboard rental building, and expansion of 2,112 square feet to an existing 1,900 square foot building for use as a kids camp; the two buildings will be on a 3.15 acre parcel zoned Commercial Recreation.
