When was the last time the Planning Commission denied a "private club" in the area ANYTHING?
Please, that is not Republican thinking in these parts; esp.where Woodside memberships were involved?
When my father was alive and playing and a member of the board at the Olympic Club, things like this would not even land on his desks. If it had to be done it was done with expediency like most things in San Mateo's Bldg. and planning commissions.
Some things never change. Like seeing people wanting to be invited to the Grove.
