He stated that they had exceeded the Building Grading Restriction line by only two feet and that most of the wall is within the BGR. He questioned why the stem wall was allowed and approved by City officials and why it was being questioned at this time and not at the time of installation.

TENTATIVE TRACT MAP NO. 37885 (FORRESTAL) (1411) Associate Planner Joel Rojas summarized the action taken on this matter since its discussion at the last City Council meeting at which time the Council discussed alternative solutions for disposing of the excess cut material generated by the conceptually approved quarry slope trimming. Pursuant to Council direction, staff analyzed possible disposal alternatives for the 200,000 cubic yards of excess cut and as a result prepared a comparative matrix summarizing the environmental impacts of placing varying amounts of material in the quarry bowl. Staff concluded the following: 1. Although the School District may be willing to consider their adjoining property as a disposal site, it was not a feasible alternative because of the considerable engineering analysis and complex financial negotiations that would be required and the amount of time necessary to resolve these issues. 2. That all of the excess cut may be accommodated in the development area of 5 JULY 7 1992 CITY COUNCIL the tract. However, to retain the size and configuration of the approved lots, 8 - 17 foot retaining walls would be necessary. This would avoid disturbance of the quarry bowl and any off -site exportation, but would result in new visual impacts and would require further environmental analysis and a revision to the approved C.U.P. 3. That aside from changes in the existing topography of the bowl, the significant environmental effects of placing varying amounts of fill in the bowl were generally the same. Mr. Rojas concluded his report by recommending that the Council review the disposal alternatives and conceptually approve a disposal site or a combination of sites for placement of the excess cut material. Representing J. M. Peters Co. was Bob Trapp, who summarized what he saw as the advantages of Alternatives A, B, and C as presented in the July 7, 1992 staff report and how they addressed the concerns of drainage, geologic hazard, and preservation of certain wildlife species and habitat. With regard to using the school site, he -stated the problems associated with this site: J. M. Peters Company has no control over that property; there were significant technical problems since the majority of the site is non - certified fill; the only area certified is a 25 ft. area near the soccer field and this would affect the future development of that site. The certified area was done to the standards existing in the 1960's and would not meet 1990's standards. The entire school site has no drainage in the canyon area and this would require additional drains in the canyon. Speaking in opposition to this project were J. J. D. McLaren, 3923 Palos Verdes Drive South, and Lois Larue, 3136 Barkentine Road. Their concerns centered on the configuration of the grading, drainage and protection of wildlife. (During this discussion Councilwoman Brooks left the meeting, the time being 9:30 P.M.) The appellant in this matter, Sharon Solari, president of the Seaview Homeowners Association, 4145 Palos Verdes Drive South, presented a written statement which listed the primary concerns of the Association: geotechnical issues and the third party review of the project. Ms. Solari' s statement is on f ile with the City Clerk's Office, (At 9:40 P.M Councilwoman Brooks returned to the meeting.) Councilwoman Bacharach moved, seconded by Councilman Kuykendall to deny the application without prejudice. The motion carried on the following roll call vote: AYES: BROOKS, RYAN, KUYKENDALL, BACHARACH & MAYOR McTAGGART. NOES: NONE It was the consensus of the Council to not certify the E.I.R. The applicant was advised that he may ref ile without having to pay additional fees but would be .responsible for paying actual costs and that any grading plan would have to address the issues that led to the project's denial. STREET PARKING SILVER SPUR ADJACENT P.V. HIGH SCHOOL (1401) Director of Public Works Pulliam presented the staff memorandum of July 7th and the recommendation that if the City Council deems it appropriate to provide 6 JULY 71 1992 CITY COUNCIL additional parking along Silver Spur, direct staff to proceed with preparation of engineering plans and specifications for one of the identified options: Option 1: Reduce northbound Silver Spur travel to one lane thus allowing extra parallel parking for approximately 800 ft. along the easterly side of Silver Spur from the end of existing parking to about 150 ft. south of Elkmont Dr. A right turn lane would be striped for entry to Elkmont Dr. This option would result in an additional 55 + parallel parking spaces at an estimated cost of approximately $1,000. Option 2: Reduce northbound and southbound travel lanes on Silver Spur to one through lane in each direction and move all lanes west to allow for a combination of angle and parallel parking along a portion of the easterly side of the roadway. Removal of the existing striping and pavement markers combined with restriping and marking would be required. An additional 70 + spaces could be provided with this option at an estimated cost of $17,000. Councilwoman Bacharach moved, seconded by Councilman Ryan to approve Option 1. The motion carried on the following roll call vote: AYES: BROOKS, RYAN, KUYKENDALL, BACHARACH & MAYOR McTAGGART NOES. NONE P. V. HIGH SCHOOL PISA REQUEST FOR PARKING ON HAWTHORNE (1401) Director of Public Works Pulliam presented the staff memorandum of July 7th and the recommendation to deny the request for additional parking along Hawthorne Boulevard based on safety considerations and past City Council policy decision. Council briefly reviewed the rationale for prohibiting parking along the northwest side of Hawthorne Boulevard: the amount of money spent on building up the right lane to accommodate heavier, slower moving traffic; the safety issue of allowing cars to park in this right lane and what would happen in the case of disabled and /or heavy traffic and its impact on the other lanes of traffic. The suggestion was made that the School consider allowing parking on Silver Spur by permit only and that those permits be granted on the basis of good grades. Representing the PTA was Linda Reinhardt, 27551 Elmbridge Drive, who stated they are now asking to increase the number of people required for car pools and are also considering imposing a certain radius for eligibility for parking permits. She reported that the Peninsula Center was not willing to allow students to park at the Center this coming fall and she urged the City Council to reconsider their decision about the Hawthorne parking. Betsy Treynor, Via Almar, Palos Verdes Estates, also representing the PTA, explained the information packet they intend to mail to students relative to the parking at the high school and summarized the programs they intend to implement to ameliorate the parking problem. Representing the PTA was Ray E. Davis of CALTAP who referred to his June 24, 1992 letter which reported the results of a field inspection of the area in question. He reported that his investigation found that parking could be allowed on Hawthorne Boulevard from a point beyond the emergency access driveway to the high school. That the proposed reduction or /elimination of the parking restrictions should not adversely affect the safety of the vehicle traveling along Hawthorne Boulevard or the people who choose to park along this portion of Hawthorne Boulevard. He said that according to certain California traffic codes this restriction on Hawthorne Boulevard could be reduced. 7 JULY 73, 1992 CITY COUNCIL Councilman Kuykendall moved, seconded by Councilwoman Bacharach, to adopt the staff recommendation and deny the request for additional parking along Hawthorne Boulevard based on safety considerations and past City Council policy decision. The motion carried on the following roll call vote. AYES: RYAN, KUYKENDALL, BACHARACH & MAYOR McTAGGART. NOES: BROOKS CITYWIDE LANDSCAPING AND LIGHTING MAINTENANCE DISTRICT (901) Director of Public Works Pulliam presented the staff memorandum of July 7th and the following recommendations: (1) Adopt a resolution initiating proceedings for the formation of a Citywide Landscaping and Lighting Maintenance District and the consolidation of such district with Landscape and Open Space Maintenance District No. 1 and Landscape and Open Space Maintenance District No. 2 and ordering the engineer to prepare a report in connection therewith. (2) Adopt a resolution approving the engineer's report. (3) Adopt a resolution declaring the City Council's intention to order the formation of a Citywide Landscaping and Lighting Maintenance district, the consolidation of such District with Landscape and Open Space Maintenance District No. 1 and Landscape and Open space Maintenance District No. 2 and the levy and collection of assessments, and appointing a time and place for hearing objections thereto. Representing BSI was Jeff Cooper who summarized the items that Council recommended be changed and also the additional information requested by the Council at the June 30th work session on this matter: inclusion of institutional parcels as assessable; establishment of a higher assessment rate for multi - family residential units; clarification of the number of dwelling units in Zone D (Vanderlip Park); footnote for the projected 1993 -94 assessment for Zone E; inclusion of leased school sites as assessable parcels; determination of whether the Conservancy property should be assessed; identification of parcels greater than 5 acres; and, determination of the effects of assessments on the various classes of parcels based on a different rate of assessment on Multiple Residential units where there are more than 10 units. Questioning the method of assessment for this district was president of the Rockinghorse Road Homeowners Association Warren Sweetnam, 7 Top Rail Lane, who said that his neighborhood is located on the rural side of the peninsula and away from the parks and questioned why they should be assessed as benefiting from them. He suggested that the residents on the east side who are not benefitted by these parks not be assessed for them. Councilman Kuykendall moved, seconded by Councilman Ryan to adopt Alternative No. 2 as listed on the Summary of Assessments and presented in the Engineer's Report dated July 32, 1992 and exclude the Conservancy property, the cemetery and school parcels. The motion carried unanimously.
