CLEARLAKE, Calif. – The Clearlake Planning Commission this week will look at a proposal to reopen a long-closed gas station.
The council will meet at 6 p.m. Tuesday, Aug. 15, in the council chambers at Clearlake City Hall, 14050 Olympic Drive.
On the agenda is the proposal to remodel and reopen the gas station at 15105 Lakeshore Drive, across from Flyers.
Applicant Jeff Orwig of San Luis LLC is seeking to open a gas station and convenience store at the site.
City documents show that the project will require the installation of two new underground fuel tanks, a new canopy, trash and recycling enclosure, and four pump stations, as well as the relocation of the existing traffic signal, curb, gutter and sidewalk along Lakeshore Drive and Old Highway 53, realigning of the sidewalk and extensive landscaping.
The commission will consider approving a use permit to allow for the reestablishment of the station, which would require a finding that the project conforms with the general plan and other city rules.
On Tuesday the commission also will hold a workshop on topics including the nuts and bolts of planning and environmental review, with future workshops to discuss the Subdivision Map Act, use permits and variances.

KELSEYVILLE, Calif. – The California Highway Patrol’s Clear Lake Area office will hold the latest in its series of classes for senior drivers next week.
Seniors are invited to attend the free, two-hour “Age Well, Drive Smart” class, which will be held from 9:30 to 11:30 a.m. Friday, Aug. 18, at the CHP’s Kelseyville office, 5700 Live Oak Drive.
This class is an excellent opportunity for senior drivers to refresh their knowledge of California driving laws, evaluate their driving abilities, and improve their driving skills.
Every year, drivers 65 years of age and older look to the California Highway Patrol for assistance in maintaining or improving their ability to drive safely.
In response, the CHP provides the “Age Well, Drive Smart” program to equip senior drivers with the necessary tools to remain safe and confident on the road.
The program covers various topics ranging from California driving laws, safe driving practices, and the effects of aging on a person’s ability to drive safely.
It is not uncommon for senior drivers to be unaware or deny changes in their physical or mental conditions which negatively affect their ability to drive safely.
Therefore the Age Well, Drive Smart program was designed with a self-assessment component to assist senior drivers with identifying these changes and providing possible corrective options.
“Giving senior drivers the tools they need to continue to be safe drivers is not only important to the safety of the motoring public, but also for seniors to maintain their independence,” said CHP Commissioner Joe Farrow. “Our senior driving course affords the continued education that can benefit seniors, helping to ensure they enjoy safe driving well into their golden years.”
If you or a family member would like to attend the Age Well, Drive Safe class, please contact Officer Kory Reynolds at 707-279-0103 or by email atThis email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. . Space is limited.
Funding for this program was provided by a grant from the California Office of Traffic Safety through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.

KELSEYVILLE, Calif. – Authorities have arrested a Kelseyville man wanted for shooting at law enforcement officers, Caltrans workers and a county supervisor on Monday morning.
Joshua Caleb “Buck” Brown, 43, was located and taken into custody at 5 p.m. Monday without incident, according to the Lake County Sheriff’s Office.
Officials said SWAT teams that were searching Brown’s property – not far from the area of the shooting near Highway 29 and Cole Creek Road – found him.
Brown’s arrest brought to an end a manhunt that had continued for more than six hours and involved closures on Highway 29.
At 10:30 a.m. Monday Buck Brown confronted a group of California Highway Patrol officers, Caltrans workers and Supervisor Rob Brown in the area between Cruickshank Road and Cole Creek Road on Highway 29 in Kelseyville, as Lake County News has reported.
Buck Brown had cut an illegal road access in the area, and Caltrans workers were putting up k-rail at the site, Rob Brown told Lake County News.
While the group was at the site, Buck Brown appeared with a gun, then went back to his pickup and retrieved a rifle and began shooting at them, Rob Brown said.
The sheriff’s office said Buck Brown also shot at responding Lake County Sheriff’s units and a State Parks officer who were at the scene before he fled the area on foot.
Rob Brown said early Monday evening that he was glad the incident had been brought to a conclusion without anyone being hurt.
The sheriff’s office said all road closures should be lifted within the hour.
