Historic Resources Board approves minutes; Ramos public hearing tabled after recusal and loss of quorum
Summary
The Carmel-by-the-Sea Historic Resources Board approved minutes for July 21 and August 18, and the public hearing for DS20 5240 Ramos was tabled when a board member recused, causing the board to lose quorum. The board noted upcoming agenda items including a potential library plaque and the Carmel House Tours event.
The Carmel-by-the-Sea Historic Resources Board voted to approve minutes for its July 21 and August 18 meetings and was forced to table a public hearing on the Ramos project after a recusal eliminated quorum.
During roll call the board recorded members present. The board approved the minutes after a motion and second; roll-call votes recorded Board member Dyer: yes; Board member Boris: yes; Chair Kromen: yes. The meeting transcript does not identify which member moved and which seconded the motion.
The board then attempted to hear public hearing DS20 5240 Ramos. A member who said they are the architect of an adjacent property said, “I previously recused myself. I will do so at this hearing as well.” Because of the recusal, the board noted it had lost quorum and said the Ramos hearing would be tabled and reopened at a later Historic Resources Board meeting.
The director’s report included a preview that a presentation about a potential plaque at Harrison Memorial Library recognizing Murphy and Maybach would be agendized at a future meeting. Board members also promoted the Carmel House Tours sponsored by the Carmel Heritage Society and AIA Monterey Bay, a fundraising event with a special reception at the Hogs Breath Inn; staff gave the websites carmelheritage.org and aiamontereybay.org for tickets. The board announced its next regular meeting as 10/20/2025 and adjourned.
No formal hearing or vote occurred on DS20 5240 Ramos because the item was tabled for lack of quorum. No further schedule for the Ramos hearing was set during this meeting.
