City forces longer evacuation

Crevices, some 15 feet deep, are seen across three homes at The Hills of Rivermist subdivision, in San Antonio Monday. Eighty homes were evacuated Sunday night because of the landslide. The residents were moved out of the area after utilities were cut off for safety reasons.
New retaining wall blamed for landslide developers disagree
Associated Press
BY MICHELLE ROBERTS
SAN ANTONIO — Residents of 25 homes evacuated after a landslide split a retaining wall and threatened to topple hilltop homes will not be allowed to return for at least 10 days as engineers watch for further soil movement, the developer said Tuesday.
The residents, who live within one block of the slide, were evacuated Sunday after a man called 911 and told officials his backyard was sliding downhill. Enormous chasms, some 15-feet deep, quickly emerged, splitting a towering retaining wall below and exposing the foundations of three hilltop homes.
The developer, Centex Homes,
worked Monday and Tuesday to stabilize the homes and the hillside.
The land was still moving slightly
Tuesday, but engineers believed it was nearly stable, said Lauren
Darnell. A centex view could
Around 80 homes were initially evacuated, but residents farther from the slide were allowed to return Monday. No one was injured.
Valerie Dolenga, a spokeswoman for Pulte Homes Inc., Centex's parent company, said about half of the residents who remained evacuated may be able to return in the next 10 to 15 days after soil engineers made sure their property was stable.
said. The company is working with those families to find longer-term accommodations, he said.
Pulte's engineers continue to investigate the cause of the landslide, but San Antonio Planning and Development Director: Roderick Sanchez said improper construction of the 30-foot tall, 1,000-foot long retaining wall and improper
Darnell conceded Centex had no city permit to build the retaining wall, but he said he thought the company followed city regulations and standard industry practices in its construction. He disputed the city's allegation that the wall was improperly built.

Restrictions increasing for sale of medical marijuana
BY GREG RISLING Associated Press
LOS ANGELES - The day feared by medical marjuana advocates arrived Tuesday when the City Council approved an ordinance intended to close hundreds of pot shops and banish those that remain in industrial areas.
guidelines.
The new law, which passed 9-3, caps the eventual number of dispensaries in the city at 70. But at this point, 137 shops that registered before a 2007 moratorium could be allowed to keep operating if they adhered to the new
Yamileh Bolanos, who runs Pure Life Alternative Wellness Center, said she would have to close her clinic to comply with the new restrictions, then reopen at a new location nine miles away.
"We're supposed to be providing medicine to patients," Bolanos said. "The city needs to decide if we are drug-slingers or if we are medical marijuanas providers. This ordinance says we are drug-slingers."
Cities across the state have grappled with ways to regulate medical marijuana after voters approved
a 1996 ballot measure allowing people with referrals from doctors to possess the drug.
Some cities have banned pot clinics altogether, while others such as West Hollywood, San Francisco and Oakland have allowed a limited number. California is among 14 states that permit medical marijuana. Pot, however, remains illegal under federal law.
It will be at least 45 days before city officials can enforce the new rules, said David Berger, a special assistant to City Attorney Carmen Trutanich, whose office drafted the ordinance.
