Sandra Dougherty, a resident of Seascape Dr., shared a recent incident that occurred at her residence on Seascape Dr. on Thursday, August 14th. A resident from the group home on Cloverdale ran onto her patio from Beach Ave. and began to physically and verbally assault her. She was hurling items at her windows and yelling threats at her and her husband who came out to help. Her caregiver was there and a supervisor from the home drove over but neither were able to deescalate the situation. 911 was called multiple times but it took over 2 hrs. for officers to respond. The woman was placed under mental hygiene arrest. Sandra stated concerns about the response time from RPD and lack of follow up response from management at the group home. Officer Blanchard agreed to follow up on the situation and asked her to contact him at 428-7615. As a Seascape resident and friend of Sandra’s, I would just like to thank the two officers who handled the situation for the great job they did when they arrived and state that since I moved into the Stonehedge community in 2017, prior to this, we have never had any problems with the Catholic Charity home on Cloverdale and consider them very good neighbors.

A resident commented on the fact that there are too many people hanging around the grounds of Holy Cross Church and some parishioners are afraid to leave their cars and walk into church. He also stated that TVs have been stolen from inside the church. Officer Blanchard agreed to follow up with Captain Cornell and hopefully have an officer present on Saturday nights and Sundays.

Northwest Neighborhood Service Center (NSC) - Anna Keller

Anna indicated that Carl Giardino has put up some barriers on Stonewood Rd. To try to protect the landscape.

She met with the owners of Fukon and stated that they are not ready to open the business and have too much work left to do to be able to open soon. She is trying to connect with a Mandarin translator so she can have a conversation with them about requirements that still need to be met.

Anna is waiting for a response from the Mayor’s office regarding Jose’s request for a food truck rodeo at the beach.

In response to a resident’s question, she stated that a single family dwelling is only allowed 3 cars and parking on the grass is a violation.

Any concerns or questions, please contact her office at 428-7620.
