Over the last year, CalFire and California Conservation Corps have been doing a fuel reduction to the 3 acre parcel on the corner of Skyline and Hwy 280, at the Trousdale exit. 

 

The Burlingame Dog Park Task Force and the Burlingame Parks and Recreation Commission has asked the Parks and Recreation Department to hold a community meeting to obtain feedback on the possibility of creating a fenced-in, off leash area on that parcel. 

 

The community meeting will be held on Thursday, October 6 at 6:00 p.m. at the Burlingame Recreation Center.  At the meeting, renderings of the proposal will be available and the Landscape Architect will be on hand to answer additional questions. 

 

If you are unable to attend the meeting, but would like to provide feedback or be sent more information, please do not hesitate to contact Nicole at [email protected] .

Mondi Salon was chosen because the property is beautifully landscaped and contributes to the enjoyment of all who pass by the salon. As one Beautification Commissioner noted, "you have made a very inviting feel our of a small space". Another Beautification Commissioner appreciates that the property has been well maintained throughout the year. This award also recognizes the work of local landscape designer, Sarah Small of Small Brown Landscape Architects, Burlingame. Mondi Salon will receive an award plaque and an original watercolor created by local artist, Dale Perkins of the landscaping of the business.

  

Anyone wishing to nominate a local business for this Award for the coming year is encouraged to contact the Parks & Recreation Department at (650) 558-7330. The deadline for applications is June 1, 2017.
