The Beginnings • Making the commitment… A Hefty Loan! • A circa 1970 home on the Bay waterfront • Rules, regulations and entitlements… • “Critical Zone,” “Buffer Zone,” and County requirements • A commitment to those this vision serves • Able to look from the front door to the water and know that the waterfront is the front door! • A sound structure with lots of possibilities • A lot and a half – plenty of room for expansion and growth!
