In other 99 Ranch news ... the grocer has submitted a plan check to the city's Planning Department to open a Filipino restaurant inside the market. There are a number of spaces inside 99 Ranch for several small shops and two restaurants.

Planning Director James Troyer said there is no timeline as to when the restaurant will receive its permits.

 

Deal sealed but fried rice will take time

The South Coast Air Quality Management District and 99 Ranch reached an agreement today. The market will install odor control equipment that is expected to eliminate the offensive smells.

But don't think you'll be able to buy that barbecued pork just yet.

The market first has to get approval by AQMD to construct the equipment. Then it has to get permission by the city. Then it has to buy and install the equipment. Then AQMD has to inspect the equipment and give the market a final ok before it can deep-fry, stir-fry and roast again.

Market officials hope this can be done by Thanksgiving. Roast duck and other Chinese dishes are popular during that time of the year.

As for the fish fry, a free service once offered in the seafood department, market officials were unsure when or if that service will resume.

It appears that 99 Ranch and the South Coast Air Quality Management District have agreed on a plan to quell cooking odors that have irritated nearby residents. In the next hour, the market and AQMD staff members will testify to the Hearing Board about the odor control equipment that the market will install.

"The district is comfortable that this course of action has been chosen to improve this problem," said Karin Manwaring, the attorney representing AQMD.

If this is so, fried fish and chow mein could return to the Base Line Road market soon.

99market.jpg"Smells bad? Market services shrink," said a headline in yesterday's World Journal, a Chinese-language daily.

The article discussed the scaled-down offerings of 99 Ranch, the Base Line Road market that was declared a public nuisance by the South Coast Air Quality Management District last month. Tomorrow morning at 11 a.m., the Hearing Board will meet on the matter again.

A five-member board had ordered the Asian grocer to hire an environmental consultant after neighbors complained of extremely strong cooking odors. The consultant was to outline solutions and present them to the Hearing Board tomorrow.
