Historic Resources Board approves minutes, tables Ramos hearing after recusal reduces quorum
Summary
The Carmel-by-the-Sea Historic Resources Board approved meeting minutes for July and August and tabled public hearing DS 25-240 (Ramos) after a member recused, leaving the board without a quorum.
The Carmel-by-the-Sea Historic Resources Board approved minutes from prior meetings and postponed the public hearing for application DS 25-240 (Ramos) after a board member recused, causing the meeting to lose quorum.
The board voted to approve minutes for meetings listed as July 21, August 18 and August 21 after a motion and a second; Board Member Dyer, Board Member Boris and Chair Kromen voted yes. The board then opened the agenda item for public hearing DS 25-240 (Ramos), but a board member who said they were the architect of an adjacent property recused from the hearing. Chair Kromen said the recusal left the board without a quorum and announced the item would be tabled and re-noticed for a later Historic Resources Board meeting.
Chair Kromen characterized the procedural outcome as the only workable option given the lack of quorum. No formal vote on DS 25-240 occurred; the item was recorded as tabled for a future meeting. The board did not take other binding actions on DS 25-240 during the session.
The board also noted a director’s report and several announcements but did not take additional formal actions beyond approving minutes and tabling the Ramos hearing.
Looking ahead, the board listed its next regular meeting as Oct. 20, 2025.
