Let me make some general comments if I may:

Fig Garden is a Jewel in Fresno County and we should cherish and preserve it in its current condition. It is the number one residential choice for many of my Doctor friends, professors and businessmen and business women who choose to make it their home over other “Yappie” north side developments and flashy gated communities in Fresno. If it is not on the historic list, I will urge you to work towards that goal.

I call the Garden of Eden in the midst of a badly designed city.
