The San Francisco Golf Club's proposal to create a maintenance facility next to a preschool playground is seeing backlash from parents.
A small Catholic school is locked in a David vs. Goliath fight with an exclusive San Francisco golf club. It all stems from a proposal that is before the Planning Commission to construct a huge maintenance facility right next to a preschool playground.'It's a private golf course. There's 108 acres on this site, and to place it right next to a school is absolutely egregious,' said San Mateo County Supervisor David Canepa, who has a child attending St. Thomas More Catholic School.
'It sounds like a classic case of 'not in my backyard' because it literally is in their backyard. But the school's principal, David Greenbaum, believes there's a difference.'Their backyard is several backyards, thousands of backyards,' he said. 'And so, we have one; they have several. So, they have options.'No one from the golf club would go on camera, but an email said they have removed chemical storage from the plan and will move the gas tank farther away.
