1. Commissioners delay vote on Truckee’s Canyon Springs development
After 9 hours of public meetings across Nov. 16-17 of last week, the Truckee Planning Commission voted 5-0 to adjourn its hearing on Canyon Springs and continue it at a 6 p.m. Dec. 1 special meeting.
At the meeting, no additional public comment will be taken. Instead, commissioners are expected to deliberate. Should the commission not come to a decision then, there will be time for it to continue and vote on the matter at its regular scheduled Dec. 15 meeting.

David Masters, born September 7, 1954, died on October 24, 2015, after losing his battle with Stage 4 cancer. David loved his family, especially his daughter Abby and his wife Shahri.
He passed away at home, with dignity, his wife and daughter at his side. At David’s request, there will be no funeral. He was a private man and the social activity of a service was not his way.

5. Truckee-North Tahoe’s last remaining bookstore for sale, may close
After 23 years as owner of The Bookshelf in Truckee, Debbie Lane has decided to list the business for sale, so she may retire. The business at 11429 Donner Pass Road (in the Westgate Shopping Center) is on the market for $55,000, not including the store’s inventory of books, journals and more, valued at roughly $120,000.
The bookstore’s three-year lease is up Jan. 31, 2016. Should no one purchase the business by then, it will close and everything from inventory to fixtures will be sold, Lane said.
