Said her block is full of turn-of-the-century and historic homes and urged the board to send the modern design back to the drawing board.

The owner, a Pacific Grove native who runs Russell Service Center, said the 845-square-foot cottage is too small for their growing family and that all their contiguous neighbors support the project.

The owner of an 1888 historic home on 10th Street disputed the owners' outreach claims, said the design would block her view corridor, and asked for a smaller footprint, lower roof, or more traditional design.

Said the design looks like a commercial building that doesn't fit the neighborhood and noted the meeting saw three demolitions in one day.

The owner's husband explained the family's ties to Pacific Grove, said they replaced a shared fence with the neighbor behind and spoke with three contiguous neighbors, and asked the board to be specific about what changes it wants.
