Resol. Nos. 99 -10 and 99 -11 - Revision "H" to the Ocean Trails Project
(11203 x 1411)
Mayor Hollingsworth opened the public hearing on this request to amend C.U.P. No.
162 and Grading Permit No. 1541 (Ocean Trails LP). Assistant City Manager Petru
announced that notice had been duly published and all protest letters had been
included in the agenda packet.
Senior Planner Pfost presented the staff report of February 2, 1999 and the
recommendation to (1) adopt the proposed resolution, approving Addendum No. 7 To
Environmental Impact Report No. 36; (2) adopt the proposed resolution Approving
Conditional Use Permit No. 162 - Revision "H ", thereby permitting the building pads for
6 lots of VTTM 50667 to be lowered and changed to split -level pads, and the lowering
of 6 other lots and street "B" of VTTM 50667; and (3) adopt the proposed resolution
approving Grading Permit No. 1541 - Revision "H" To The Ocean Trails project;
thereby permitting limited construction work on Sundays Through March 21, 1999.
Ken Zuckerman, 1 Ocean Trails, representing Ocean Trails, said that he agreed with the
recommendation but disagreed that the change should be made through a modification to the
CUP and did not know that was the mechanism to be used until he received the staff report
and therefore was asking for a continuation of the item except for changing the construction
hours to include several Sundays. He explained that the Sunday after the tournament was
included to allow for cleanup.
John Williams, 5976 Flambeau Road, representing the Palos Verdes Peninsula Chamber of
Commerce, believed the celebrity tournament provided an excellent opportunity for publicity
for Ocean Trails and was also good -for the community.
Brian Schatz, 3200 La Rotondo Drive, speaking as a homeowner and for the Board of
Directors of the Ocean Terraces Homeowners Association, representing 100 homeowners,
spoke in support of the request, subject to the provisions in the letter the Association
submitted.

Bob Moore, 3200 La Rotondo Drive, #212, also representing the Ocean Terraces
Homeowners Association Board of Directors, said that the majority of the Ocean Terraces
homeowners agreed with the staff recommendation as they wished to expedite the completion
of Ocean Trails.
Sue Kersey, 32315 Forrestal Drive, spoke in support of allowing Sunday construction to
complete the work more quickly in order to hold the tournament.
Mike Kennedy, 3200 La Rotonda Drive, #116, said because his neighborhood had been
subjected to the noise of the construction for the for last year, he would be happy to see
construction allowed on Sundays to allow speedy completion of the work.
Joyce Fink, 32353 Sea Raven, read a letter written by the Gussman family stating opposition
to the Sunday construction because it was the one day of peace and quiet for the surrounding
residents. She added that she was in favor of Ocean Trails and the golf tournament but
hoped there could be another way to finish the work in time without working on Sunday. She
was also concerned about setting a precedent.
George Fink, 32353 Sea Raven, disagreed with construction work being allowed on Sunday
because of the noise and dust.
Council discussion focused on the fact that any adverse impacts from the Sunday work would
put at risk the permission for this exception, and that noise should be kept to a minimum. The
Council suggested that residents call them at home if necessary, stating that their numbers
were in the phone book. Councilmembers said that they were not happy that Sunday work
was needed and the concept of lengthening the weekdays or making the Sunday workday
shorter was considered but neither was workable. The consensus was that the tournament
and the related publicity would be good for the City.
There being no further public testimony, Mayor Hollingsworth closed the public hearing.
Councilwoman Ferraro moved, seconded by Councilmember Lyon, to allow the requested
hours for construction work on Sunday for the number of weeks specified.
Further discussion clarified that no trucks or other construction vehicles would be allowed,
that a staff person would be on call to monitor complaints by nearby residents, and that a
Code Enforcement Office would patrol on the designated Sundays.
The motion carried on the following roll call vote:
AYES: Ferraro, Lyon, McTaggart, Byrd, and Mayor Hollingsworth
NOES: None
Councilwoman Ferraro moved, seconded by Councilmember Lyon, to ADOPT
RESOLUTION NO. 99 -10, APPROVING ADDENDUM NO. 7 TO ENVIRONMENTAL
IMPACT REPORT NO. 36 and ADOPT RESOLUTION NO. 99 -11, APPROVING
GRADING PERMIT NO. 1541 - REVISION "H" TO THE OCEAN TRAILS PROJECT;

Consideration of the third proposed resolution for the CUP revision was continued to the next
regularly schedule Council meeting on February 16, 1999.
Presentation by El Segundo Mayor Mike Gordon requesting support for their
opposition to the expansion of Los Angeles International Airport (305 x 1101)
With the use of overhead slides presented for Council and audience viewing, Mayor Gordon
discussed the reasons for establishing a regional airport as an alternative to expanding LAX.
Council informed Mayor Gordon that they could take no action at this time but would consider
it taking a position at a later time.
REGULAR BUSINESS:
Names for the Parks and trails at the Ocean Trails Project (1203 x 1411)
The recommendation was to approve the names of the parks and trails within the
Ocean Trails Project as described in the staff report.
Ken Zuckerman, 1 Ocean Trails, representing Ocean Trails, said that his group agreed
with staff on the names of the trails except for Flying Golf Ball Trail. He explained that
he favored this name because it indicated that the trail passed through an active golf
area. He clarified that this trail location had been chosen by the Coastal Commission
and that warning signs would be posted for the safety of people using this trail
Council discussion centered on a contest for high school students to name the two
parks at the Ocean Trails entrance. Details were discussed such as a six -week
deadline, because one of the parks would be completed by that time, and suggestions
were made.
Mayor pro tern Byrd moved, seconded by Councilmember Lyon, to approve the trail
names suggested by the applicant.
It was agreed that a contest would be held to name the parks with the Recreation and
Parks Committee to act as judges and that further details would be discussed at the
Council's next meeting on February 16, after Mayor Hollingsworth and Councilman
McTaggart discussed the contest with the school district.
Revision to Recycling Revenue Beautification Grant Program Guidelines and
Applications (1204 x 1301 )

commercial centers (minimum 10 businesses or 5 acre developed site), public utilities
or agencies and the Palos Verdes Peninsula Unified School District sites within the City
limits.
After a short discussion regarding sites to be considered, Councilman McTaggart
moved, seconded by Councilwoman Ferraro, to add two more schools (Dodson and
Crestwood) and the Miraleste Library, and delete the commercial sites and public utility
agencies.
Further Council discussion provided the suggestion that if the groups offered to pay
50% of the cost of the project, the City would match the funds.
The maker and seconder of the motion agreed to this amendment and the motion
carried.
Special Event Banner Program (7201)
Mayor Hollingsworth presented the staff report of February 2, 1999 and the
recommendation to refer the study of the feasibility and cost of providing pole- mounted
banners proclaiming City events to the Recreation and Parks Committee.

recommendation. Motion carried

PUBLIC HEARING:
Code Amendment No. 42 — Antenna Structures (11203 x 1801)
Mayor Hollingsworth opened the public hearing on this request for the Council to
consider proposed amendments to Section 17.76.020 (Antennas, satellite dishes, ham
radio antennas and ham radio antenna permit) and Chapter 17.96 (Definitions) of the
City's Municipal Code. Assistant City Manager Petru announced that notice had been
duly published and that all protest letters had been included in the agenda packet and
more had been submitted to the Council just prior to the meeting.
Director Rojas presented the staff report of February 2, 1999 and the recommendation
to (1) Review the Planning Commission's recommendations for amending the City's
definitions and permit review procedures for commercial, ham radio, FM and TV, and
satellite dish antennas, (2) provide Staff with direction regarding any additional
language amendments; and, (3) continue the public hearing to February 16, 1999.
Frank Lyon, representing the Planning Commission Antenna Subcommittee, described
the subcommittee's draft ordinance, unanimously approved by the Planning
Commission, and said that he was resent to give the Council perspective and to
p g p p
answer question's. He thanked Gil Alberio, Don Vannorsdall, and John McTaggart, who
also served on the committee; the radio club; and, concerned citizens, all of whom
provided input to reach a compromise ordinance to balance the rights and interests of
everyone. He explained that the new ordinance identified some antennas which do not
need city a pp royal because they are so unobtrusive and provided criteria to determine
if director or planning commission approval was needed. He discussed neighbors'
working together regarding interference with television and stated that flyers distributed
have misled citizens who have not read the ordinance.
Ski p Hanson, 32,50 Martingale Drive, stated that he had received no complaints in his
many years of antenna use. He said that common sense dictated that if a TV antenna
is protected by federal law and an amateur radio antenna looks like a TV antenna,
there should be no problem with aesthetics. He supported draft No. 2 of the ordinance,
shifting his support from the minor rewriting of the original ordinance because it
required approval of all amateur radio antennas.
Duncan Cummins, 3064 Martingale Drive, described his experience as a ham operator
and his interest in amateur TV and said that he believed that view and property value
issues should be considered as well. He believed the City Council was the proper
body to evaluate the ordinance and he supported draft No. 1. (A handout distributed to
the Council from; Mr. Cumming is on file with the City Clerk's office)
City Council Minutes
February 2, 1999
Page 8
Karyl Newton, 46 Oceanaire, stated that the recommended draft was much more
permissive than the original ordinance and she favored more restrictions. She was
P
pleased that property values had been discussed at the subcommittee meetings;
suggested that a chart be included in the ordinance summarizing categories, heights
and a roval levels; and, that code enforcement be taken seriously once a new
. pp
ordinance is adopted. She supported the subcommittees draft ordinance, believing
that the process was tedious but fair.
Rein Kuhr, 39 Oceanaire Drive, described antennas in his neighborhood, citing one
home in which an antenna had been removed and another at which the antenna was
partially blocked from his view by a tree. He did not believe property values were
affected by either instance and felt that neighbors should be tolerant of each other.
Harold Hermann, 8 La Vista Verde, said that the City Council had suspended his
entitlement rights for over a year. He believed that the committee should have
performed minor modifications to the existing ordinance in reference to second
antennas only. He said that he was in favor of any ordinance the amateur radio club
supported but he was concerned with excessive regulations, cost, and the number of
city staff members required to process an antenna application.
Dean Garth, 28619 Golden Meadow Drive, urged the Council to maintain the current
antenna ordinance because he Said that, although everyone was concerned with
maintaining iews and property values, he believed that the antennas were not a threat
g p p Y
to aesthetics.
Jack Carter, 28911 S. Golden Meadow Drive, president of the Palos Verdes Amateur
Radio Club outlined the 9 oals of the Radio Club when it was invited to participate in
the ordinance amendment process, such as differentiation of rooftop antennas, which
were usually not as objectionable to neighbors, from tower supported antennas. Other
goals were to differentiate masts from towers; to protect previous installations which
g
were legal; to provide equity between TV and amateur radio; and, to exempt small
rooftop antennas. He stated that all radio club members who participated in the
subcommittee meetings supported Draft No. 2 because it best meets their goals.
Dale Hanks 5225 Middlecrest Road, distributed a handout to the Council reviewing
events regarding this item since April 1998. He believed that, although the Radio Club
9 9
had been invited to attend the subcommittee meeting, they had not been allowed to
participate Y
artici ate full but that there had been improvement once Councilman McTaggart
joined the committee. He said the subcommittee's progress had been slow with dozens
of drafts to review and that he supported draft No. 2. (A copy of Mr. Hanks written
statement is on file in the City Clerk's Office)
John Freeman, 6850 Faircove Drive, representing the Radio Club, supported draft No.
2, stating that it would be the easiest to implement, was the most fair, and would
provide clear information for both the City and the applicant.
City Council Minutes
February 2, 1999
Page 9
Herb Clarkson, 6424 Seabryn, representing the Radio Club, said that he served on the
antenna ordinance committee and supported draft No. 2. He said that this draft
ordinance is concise and treats citizens equally and he believed that the Planning
Director and City Attorney, who wrote this draft, knew best about providing an
ordinance which would be simplest to implement and the most legal. (A written copy of
Mr. Clarkson's comments is on file in the City Clerk's office)
Demetrius Hatzeson, 6542 Ocean Crest Drive, C204, said that he was not an amateur
radio operator but he supported the Radio Club position.
Dodie Clarkson, 64224 Seabryn Drive, commended staff on meeting their deadline and
supported draft No. 2 because it is straightforward and the most user friendly for the
public.
Ian MacDonald, 47 Oceanaire Drive, supported draft No. 3, objecting to allowing two
41' antennas with no approval, stating that the original ordinance required approval for
any antennas over 30'.
Art Goddard, 2901 Palau Place, Costa Mesa, 92626, elected representative of amateur
radio operators in Southern California from the American Radio Relay League (the
national organization for amateur radio operators), said that he attended this hearing at
the request of the Radio Club because he had worked with 30 cities in passing antenna
ordinances. He believed a broader perspective should be taken rather than a "nuts
and bolts" approach. He discussed the value of amateur radio during emergencies and
provided newspaper clippings from the month of November 1998 regarding the use of
amateur radio during disasters. He said that the proposed drafts were more restrictive
than others he had seen and that he preferred draft No. 2.
In response to Council inquiry, Mr. Goddard said that generally there would be one to
five repeaters with different frequencies on a residential antenna and that his
organization publishes a directory of repeaters and frequencies, which is public
information. He added that, by law, these repeaters were for amateur use only.
Tom Vegors, P. 0. Box 2181, Palos Verdes Peninsula, CA 90274, found draft No. 2 to
be the least objectionable, citing difficulties in the subcommittee version regarding
clarification of methods of measuring antennas and required levels of approval.
Mark Abrams, 44 Oceanaire, agreed with most of the comments made by the amateur
radio community; believed that draft No. 2 was the most reasonable one proposed; but
said that he would rather maintain the original ordinance. He described research he
had done, contacting the County assessor's office, and real estate brokers and
appraisers, which indicated that property values were not affected by antennas.
Martin Hochman, 2131 W. 37th Street, San Pedro, CA, 90732, said that he was a retired
City Council Minutes
February 2, 1999
Page 10
federal lawyer and ham radio operator and that he supported draft No. 2 because it was
the most fair for the amateur radio operators and the community. He stated that
amateur radio served a useful purpose in emergency situations but also provided an
enjoyable hobby for many people.
Emmett Ingram, 28006 Beechgate Drive, noted uses of ham radio other than
emergency situations, such as directing the Rose Parade, etc., and praised the hobby
as being a way of life for people and a particularly good activity for children. He
believed that the cellular phone tower at City Hall meant that the City could not
complain about the appearance of antennas.
Gregory Sue, 1827 Redondela Drive, said that he supported draft No. 2.
Banister Bray, 52 Shady Vista, Rolling Hills Estates, past president of the Palos Verdes
Radio Club, said that he had had a lot of different antennas around the world. He
believed that there were a relatively small number of amateur radio operators in the
City and that any blight was minor. He mentioned that he had four antennas at the
present time; that he had painted them to mitigate any visual impact; and, that when
any of his neighbors experiences from his antennas, he was able to correct the problem
after they mentioned it to him. He believed that property values were not affected by
antennas since two of his neighbors had just sold their homes for a high price. He
agreed that antenna owners did not receive compensation, said that antennas don't
affect views that much; and, told a story about his saving lives of people on a ship in
Anarctica. He said that the City of Rolling Hills Estates does not have an ordinance but
does require that antennas be installed safely.
Council discussion centered on the fact that some amateur operators use small satellite
dishes (usually under one meter) and whether they were an eyesore.
City Attorney Lynch said that federal law prohibits cities from regulating dishes that
small.
Mayor Hollingsworth closed the public hearing.
Further Council discussion focused on agreement with most of the speakers that draft
No. 2 seemed to be the most simple to administer and the most complete and whether
repeaters could be registered with the City and whether the number of repeaters per lot
or house could be limited. Council consensus was that registering with the City at no
cost to the resident was acceptable but limiting the number of repeaters would be
invasive.
Councilmember Lyon moved, seconded by Councilwoman Ferraro, to accept draft No.
2 of the proposed draft ordinances.
City Council Minutes
February 2, 1999
Page 11
City Attorney Lynch suggested that the ordinance be modified to add Council
suggestions and correct typographical errors and then brought back to the next Council
meeting.
The motion carried without objection
Mayor Hollingsworth re- opened the public hearing and continued it to February 16,
1999.

Councilwoman Ferraro attended on January 29, 1999, and commented specifically

also a difficulty receiving answers to questions from a representative from the airport,
