It is ironical but not surprising that Wayne Raffesberger, as a land-use attorney, attacked James Gilhooly (“Halbert a solid choice as chair of working group,” July 2 Beacon, page 6) regarding his concerns about Gary Halbert, chair of the Rosecrans Corridor working group. Mr. Gilhooly made no reference to Gary Halbert’s position in San Diego’s Development Services Department during the Sunroad incident. It is a matter of public record that on June 19, 2006 Tait Galloway (city) informed Gary Halbert (city) and Kelly Broughton (city) that the Federal Aviation Administration had significant concerns about the height of this project. They were told it was penetrating the Part 77 and TERP airspace surfaces by approximately 20 feet. Publicly it has been stated from the top on down through Mayor Jerry Sanders, Jim Waring and Gary Halbert that they had no knowledge of the project until after it had reached 180 feet. Yet each of them were in some way responsible for oversight of the project. Mr. Raffesberger, as a land-use attorney, refers to his volunteer community service, which in reality typically supported developers’ projects on the boards of the Centre City Development Corp. and Peninsula Community Planning Board. While Raffesberger was on the former Naval Training Center (Liberty Station) Citizens Implementation Advisory Committee, he supported the Corky McMillin Cos. developer’s cost-cutting, among other things, by being the sole opponent to the sorely needed parking structure. Finally, if Mr. Raffesberger attended the Peninsula Community Planning Board meetings, he would come to know Mr. Gilhooly as a public safety-minded citizen, not a sycophant to developers.
