PUBLIC HEARINGS:
SUBREGIONS 7& 8- TENTATIVE TRACT NOS. 50666 & 5 0 6 6 7 (PALOS VERDE S LAND HOLDING
CO . / ZUCKERMAN) C 1411)
Mayor McTaggart opened up the public hearing on this Environmental
Impact Report No. 36, Vesting Tentative Tract Map Nos. 50666 and 50667 and the
appeal of C.U.P. Nos. 162 and 163 and other related applications. The City Clerk
announced that notice of this public hearing was duly published and that all
written protests had been forwarded to the City Council.
Mayor McTaggart summarized the procedure for this hearing: following staff's
presentation, the City Council would ask questions; the speakers for each side
of the issue would be given a total of 40 minutes; representatives for an
identified group may speak for five minutes; and, Council would present their
questions after the public testimony. Continuing with his instructions, the
Mayor announced that all written testimony presented prior to the meeting had
been submitted to the City Council; that the applicant and those speaking in
favor would be heard first; and, that each side would be given a total of five
2 MAY 19, 1992
minutes for rebuttal.
Senior Planner Carolynn Petru presented the staff memorandum of May 19th and the
recommendation to certify the Environmental Impact Report, approve the Vesting
Tentative Tract Maps and deny the appeal of the Conditional Use Permits and
related applications, thereby approving an 83 lot Residential Planned Development
and an 18 hole public golf course on a 258 acre vacant site in Subregions 7 & 8,
as recommended by the Planning Commission.
Council then proceeded to ask questions of a general nature about this project:
the number of public parking spaces provided; how a transportation management
association could be formed within the homeowners association; who would be
responsible for maintenance of the trails; and, the size restriction that would
apply to a house in the case where a buyer combined two or more lots.
Representing Palos Verdes Land Holding Company (PVLHC) and the Zuckerman family
was Michael Mohler who gave an overview of public hearings and the community
meetings held to discuss these development plans. Referring to the May 14, 1992
letter from PVLHC, Mr. Mohler reviewed each of the items in that letter and
requested that the City Council consider their appeal of these conditions.
Speaking in favor of this project were the following people: Ron Stankey, 6940
Starstone Drive; Kevin Sears, President of the Seacliff Hills Homeowners
Association; Lawrence J. Burke, 3437 Palo Vista Drive; Steve Fowler, President
of the Palos Verdes Chamber of Commerce, 43 Peninsula Center; Ken and Susan
McNeill, 6636 Channelview Court; Larry Clark (not speaking on behalf of the
Planning Commission), 3354 Corinna Drive; John Goode, DDS, 29710 Grandpoint;
Milton Roth, 7028 Willowtree; Edwin Baur, representing the Ladera Linda
Homeowners Association, 3572 Vigilance Drive; Jack French, 31017 Hawksmoor Dr;
and George Fink, 32353 Searaven Dr. The comments of these speakers focused on.
the meetings that the developer had held with the adjacent homeowner
associations; how this was a good use of the property; the fact that Palos Verdes
Drive South will be completely rebuilt; that this project will provide access to
the coast; that revenue will accrue to the City from the project; the project
would preserve open space; and, the suggestion that City residents have
preferential conditions for starting times and reduced green fees.
Citing concerns about certain features of the project were the following
speakers: Robert Agli, President of the Ocean Terrace Condominium Association,
3200 La Rotonda Drive, who presented a written statement about that
organization's concerns about the location of the golf course clubhouse and
adjacent public parking and the public parking facilities on what will remain of
Paseo del Mar and La Rotonda Drive. Specific concerns were also stated by
Chip Zelt, representing the Homeowners Association for Tract #16540. Mr. Zelt
presented a letter and petition stating his association's opposition to the
present lay -out of the streets as proposed and particularly to the road running
adjacent to the rear of their homes. Representing Seacliff Hills Homeowners
Association was Kevin Sears who expressed concern over the intersection of Street
"A" that continues into Palos Verdes Drive South and how headlights from cars
exiting from that street would shine into the homes located in Seacliff Hills.
Speaking in opposition to this project were the following citizens:
Jess Morton, 787 W. 4th Street, representing the So. Bay Audubon Society; Ed
Kennedy, 2 713 Vista Mesa Drive; Barbara Walch, 34 Oceanaire Drive; John Beringer,
3412 Seaglen Drive, representing the RPV Council of Homeowners Associations;
Andrew H. Sargent, 1 Peppertree Drive; representing Coastal Conservation
Coalition; Angelika Brinkmann -Busi, 1354 Stonewood Court, representing the
California Native Plant Society; John P. Sharkey, 30320 Ave. De Calma; Nicole

Goodson, 1709 Via Zurita, Palos Verdes Estates, representing Save Our Coastline
2000; Barbara Epstein, 21 Moccasin Lane, Rolling Hills Estates; J. J. D. McLaren,
3 MAY 19, 1992
3923 Palos Verdes Drive South; and, Lois Larue, 3136 Barkentine Road. These
speakers' objections centered on the following: loss of natural habitat for
certain animal species; reduction of open space; lack of a continuous bluff road;
the deleterious effects on certain native plant species; requirement for a soil
safety standard of 1.5; the possible increase in police costs resulting from
development of the coastline; whether the golf course would benefit only a few;
and, questioned if there was adequate acreage for an 18 -hole golf course.
RECESS: At 9:12 P.M. the Mayor declared a recess; the meeting reconvened at 9:22
P.M.
The Council continued hearing public testimony on this project, and the following
citizens spoke:
Elizabeth Kelley, 6611 Vallon Drive; Kay Bara, 1 Peppertree, speaking as a
representative of the Sierra Club; Tom Barnard, 2186 Warmouth Street; Ann Moyer,
7219 Avenida Altisma; Blaine Beron - Rawdon, 4207 Exultant Drive, representing the
Soaring Union of Los Angeles; and, Sunshine, 6 Limetree Lane. These speakers
comments focused on the following: opposition to the development of the
coastline; the reduction in the availble open space; and, concern that trees and
fences may inhibit the slope area of the coastline.
Michael Mohler rebutted that there would be no loss of habitat for the
gnatcatchers; that the sport of radio controlled gliders would not be affected
by the project; and, that Subregion 8 was not in this project area.
Council inquiries centered on the following: how to reduce impacting the glider
soaring area; whether installation of the bicycle park on the north side of Palos
Verdes Drive South suggested by the Seacliff Hills Homeowners Association was
possible; and, how the gene pool for natural habitat would be restored.
Responding to the Mayor's call for rebuttal were the following speakers: Andrew
Sargent, 1 Peppertree Drive, again spoke to the issue of the impact on the
habitat. Angelica Brinkmann -Busi, 1354 Stonewood Court, San Pedro, reiterated
her concern for endangered animal and plant species. Barbara Walch, 34 Oceanaire
Drive, who expressed her concern that the applicant would follow through with
promised mitigation measures.
Councilman Ryan moved, seconded by Councilman Kuykendall and carried to close the
public hearing.
Council then discussed the relationship of the bluff road to the homes located
in Tract No. 16540; the distance between those homes and the bluff road; and, if
an analysis had been performed to determine how a lowered bluff road would reduce
the impact on the views of homes in that tract.
Councilwoman Brooks moved, seconded by Councilwoman Bacharach, and carried to
reopen the public hearing to allow testimony from the Planning Commission
Chairman Robert Katherman.
Mr. Katherman summarized the opposition voiced at Planning Commission hearings
relative to the negative impact of the building of the bluff road on the
residents of the Portuguese Bend Club. He stated that because the bluff road
could not cross the Forrestal Canyon that it could not become part of a
continuous bluff road and, therefore, was not feasible under the Coastal Plan of
the City. He said that the Commission recommended a trail in that area to
provide bluff top access. The Commission felt that the trail system would
provide the equivalent functional access rather than having vehicular access
which would have a negative impact on the Portuguese Bend Club. Because the
bluff road would be discontinuous at Forrestal Canyon, they felt that the road
was not feasible. The Commission felt that the concept of the "J" road coming
down from Forrestal provided a better alternative; that parking would be allowed
at the terminus of the bluff road. Additionally, the Commission wanted to pull
4 MAY 19, 1992
the bluff road back to minimize the amount of grading since it would not cross
the Forrestal Canyon.
Speaking to the lowering of the bluff road, Mr. Mohler stated that the residents
of Seaview requested that the grade of the subdivision be lowered to protect
views and that if that had not been done the situation would be worse for Mr.
Zelt. Continuing with his testimony, Mr. Mohler said that when they did lower
the subdivision, they went to maximum allowable standards as far as grading and
street gradient is concerned; if, however, they were able to get a variance from
the City's street standards, they would try to lower the road adjacent to Mr.
Zelt's house down to within 3 ft. of the pad grade of his home. That, however,
would require consideration of a steeper street gradient.
Councilwoman Brooks moved, seconded by Councilwoman Bacharach and carried to
close the public hearing.
Council discussion next centered on the following: the restrictions on public
parking along Palos Verdes Drive South; if the City should try to get
preferential tee times and fees for City residents and how this would be viewed
by the State Coastal Commission; the imposition of a City user fee of 15 %; and,
the necessity of assuring that the building fees charged the developer are
consistent with the new fees.
Council then proceeded to make a determination on the Summary of Modifications
Proposed by Staff for Subregions 7 & 8.
1. That Vesting Tentative Tract Map No. 50666 be revised to include a minimum
of 12.41 acres of common open space. (The applicants had submitted revised
figures to staff demonstrating that 13.5 acres of common open space was now being
provided.)
This item was noted by the Council.
2. That an additional bluff road cul -de -sac be provided along the seaward side
of lots 33 and 40 on the western side of the site, behind the building /foundation
setback line and connecting to the bluff road cul -de -sac on the east side of
Forrestal Draw by a pedestrian and bicycle bridge.
Councilwoman Bacharach moved, seconded by Mayor McTaggart to have a bluff road
and not to have a bridge over Forrestal. The motion failed on a three two vote
with Councilmembers Kuykendall, Ryan and Brooks voting in opposition.
3. If the bluff road was added to the western portion of the site, staff
recommended increasing the number of public parking spaces by requiring public
parking on one side of the street and extending the bluff road on the east side
of Forrestal Draw further westward. This could add up to 50 additional parking
spaces or 100, if parking is provided on both sides of the roadways.
Councilwoman Bacharach moved, seconded by Councilwoman Brooks to extend the cul-
de -sac as far to the west as possible. Motion carried.
4. That the pedestrian and bicycle trail from Point A to Point E be relocated
seaward of the golf course along the edge of the bluff top to be more consistent
with the Coastal Specific Plan.
Councilwoman Brooks moved, seconded by Councilman Kuykendall not to make a change
in this item. Motion carried.
5. That additional language be added to the conditions of approval to clearly
specify the location and configuration for construction of the park improvements,
as well as the maintenance responsibilities for the park areas and trail system.
A brief discussion ensued relative to how the cost for this maintenance would be
5 MAY 19, 1992
spread out over the homes in that area. It was the consensus of Council to agree
to the addition of this condition.
6. That a condition be added to tract conditions of approval stating that if
the geology for Lots 34 and 38 is not accepted by the City prior to the
recordation of the Final Map, that these lots would be eliminated from the
project.
Councilwoman Bacharach moved, seconded by Mayor McTaggart to add this condition.
Motion carried.
7. That the maximum height of the proposed two story lots be limited to 26
feet, rather than 28 feet proposed by the applicant, to be consistent with the
City's Development Code.
Councilwoman Bacharach moved, seconded by Councilwoman Brooks to approve this
height limitation. Motion carried.
8. That the words "lot coverage" be eliminated from Condition Q2 of CUP No.
162.
Councilwoman Brooks moved, seconded by Councilwoman Bacharach to approve this
modification.
9. That the reference to minimum structure size be eliminated
from Condition Q2 of CUP No. 162.
Councilwoman Bacharach moved, seconded by Councilwoman Brooks to approve this
modification. Motion carried.
10. That the setbacks be modified to incorporate staggered setbacks and avoid
future conflict over the appropriate setbacks for each residential lot.
Councilwoman Bacharach moved, seconded by Councilwoman Brooks that staff be
directed to prepare an analysis of all setbacks with no reductions in the
sideyard setbacks. Motion carried.
Councilwoman Bacharach moved, seconded by Councilwoman Brooks that the tract map
not be recorded until after location of the clubhouse is established. Motion
carried.
Council then proceeded to make a determination on the request for changes to the
conditions of approval contained in the applicant's May 14th letter:
Appeal Item No. 1 - Relocation of Club House - It was the consensus to reject
this appeal item.
Appeal Item No. 2 - Relocation of Hole #10 - Granted.
Appeal Item No. 3 - Increase in height of Club House - It was the consensus to
leave this condition as presently written because the issue could be dealt with
via the variance process.
Appeal Item No. 4 - Prohibition of up to 42 inch fencing in front yard setback -
Councilwoman Bacharach moved, seconded by Councilman Kuykendall to remove the
prohibition. The motion carried on a four - one vote with Councilwoman Brooks
dissenting.

Appeal Item No. 6 - Requirement for payment of traffic impact fees - Councilwoman
Bacharach moved, seconded by Councilman Kuykendall to receive and file this
6 MAY 19 , 1992
request. Motion carried.
Appeal Item No. 7 - Requirement for 50 public parking spaces on Paseo del Mar -
Councilwoman Bacharach moved, seconded by Mayor McTaggart to receive and file
this request. The motion carried.
Appeal Item No. 8 - Modification of C.U.P. #163 to require unspecified golf
discounts & special club privileges - Councilwoman Bacharach's motion to give
preferential tee times for Rancho Palos Verdes residents died for lack of a
second.
Councilman Kuykendall moved, seconded by Councilman Ryan to delete conditions
15 through 18 of C.U.P. No. 163. The motion carried on a four - one vote with
Councilwoman Bacharach voting in opposition.
Appeal Item No. 9 - Excessive front & sideyard setbacks -

reduction in side yard setbacks.
