Surprise retirement party held for Robert Green

A surprise retirement party was held by community members Sept. 1 for Rancho Santa Fe Association Building Commissioner Robert Green, who retired Sept. 2 after 19 years with the Association. (Green has agreed to stay on for a time in an advisory role to ensure a seamless transition.)

The event, which was a “fun, informal gathering” to thank Green for his many years of service to the community, took place at Gail Frazar’s home in Rancho Santa Fe

Green joined the Association in 1997, bringing with him more 30 years of experience in architectural design review and urban planning — he started his career planning towns and villages in England. As building commissioner he guided the Association’s Art Jury/Covenant Design Review Committee process.
