LAKEPORT, Calif. – This week the Board of Supervisors will hold public hearings to consider an appeal of the Lake County Planning Commission's denial of a permit for a Kelseyville Dollar General store and discuss general plan amendments and other approvals needed to move the Valley Oaks project forward.

The board will meet beginning at 9 a.m. Tuesday, Aug. 25, in the board chambers on the first floor of the Lake County Courthouse, 255 N. Forbes St., Lakeport.

The meeting can be watched live on Channel 8 and online at http://www.co.lake.ca.us/Government/Boards/Board_of_Supervisors/calendar.htm . Accompanying board documents, the agenda and archived board meeting videos also are available at that link.

At 10 a.m., the board will hear the appeal of Texas-based Cross Development LLC of the planning commission's unanimous denial in May of the major use permit and mitigated negative declaration for the construction of a 9,100-square-foot Dollar General store at 4315 Douglas St. and 5505 Main St. in Kelseyville.

Cross Development builds and leases stores to Dollar General, a small box retailer based in Goodlettsville, Tenn., which has more than 12,000 stores nationwide and in the last few years has begun opening stores in California and on other parts of the West Coast.
