The staff report addressed the issues of: corrections to the Environmental Impact Report Addendum, left -turn pocket on Hawthorne Boulevard, affordable housing, secondary exit to Palos Verdes Drive West, easement between the Golden Cove offices, undergrounding utilities, site drainage during con- struction, clarification of dirt hauling route, and the Safeway ramp. Mr. Rubin went on to explain the church's concern about noise and traffic from the easement adjacent to the church. 703CP /MIN2.1 -9 -3- June 17, 1986 In response to the Mayor's call for public testimony were Howard Adler, 2081 Business Center Drive, Irvine, California, who introduced Mr. Fred Talarico, the housing specialist on the project, and Daniel Rainey, 17801 Cartwright Road, Irvine, California. Mr. Adler questioned whether his com- pany should be responsible for bearing all of the cost of redesigning the Safeway Ramp since use of that ramp would be by the Golden Cove Shopping Center. He felt that some of the costs for this design should be borne by the owners of the shopping center. Discussion between Mr. Adler and the Council then centered on allocation of the site development costs and the percentage that should be allocated to the. 'affordable units, Carl DiStef ano , 561 Promotory Drive West, Newport Beach, spoke to this issue and commented that the site development costs had been allocated evenly among the forty -nine units. Voicing concern about the easement adjacent to the church were the follow- ing representatives of St. Paul's Lutheran Church: Reverend Thomas Cooper, 3914 Admirable Drive; Joseph Picarelli , 30311 Via Borica; Henry Moeller, 20 Portuguese Bend Road; Jay Luedde, 827 Deep Valley Drive; Carl Barth, 32709 Seagate Drive; William Messer, 1740 Palos Verdes Drive West; Margaret Moody, 6570 Ocean Crest Drive; and Carol Ozark, 1468 Via Coronel. Their concerns centered on the noise generated by cars using the easement, the interference this would have with their worship, safety aspects of the closeness of the easement to the Church's entrance, and maintenance of the rolled curb used for the easement. Reference was made to an earlier agree- ment between the church and Mr. Adler which permitted only emergency vehicle use of this easement. During additional discussion of this easement, it was revealed that an earlier plan did call for use of another easement. However, during the Planning Commission review of the project it was determined to use the easement now proposed. Since an additional piece of park property is adja- cent to the project, a driveway alongside of the property on the south side of the Church was also discussed. Discussion then centered on whether the Department of Interior would allow development of this open area as a recreational site and whether the access through the park site would create problems with public use of the park- land. Councilman Ryan moved, seconded by Councilman Hughes to close the public hearing. The motion carried on a 4 -1 vote with Councilman McTaggart voting in opposition.

The motion carried unanimous- ly. 703CP /MIN2.1 -9 -4- June 17, 1986 Discussion then centered on access to the Golden Cove Shopping Center from the interior of this project and how this could be accomplished. Council- woman Bacharach moved, seconded by Councilman Ryan and carried to bond for a secondary roadway improvement ( the amount of the bonding should be equal to the reasonable value of the cost of the deleted access); send this item to the Traffic Committee for their review; and, contact our Congressional representative to guide this issue through the Department of Interior. Mayor Hinchliffe moved, seconded by Councilwoman Bacharach to leave the af- fordable housing component in this Project as proposed.

Councilwoman Bacharach moved, seconded by Coun- cilman Hughes and carried to require a bond from Bredero for their portion of the ramp improvement. Council then discussed the affordable housing issue, the number of units, and the initial sales price for these units. Discussion centered on the recommendations listed in the staff report: (1) income of $50,000 and ini- tial sales price of $150,000; (2) 30 year resale control period; (3) owners may be absent from unit no more than six consecutive months; (4) a state- ment of assets under penalty of perjury to be furnished; and, ( 5 ) 50% of the windfall profit would go to the City. Council discussed whether the resale control could be extended beyond the 30 year period and the priori- ties that could be set for sale of the affordable units. Councilman Ryan moved, seconded by Councilwoman Bacharach to direct the City Attorney to research whether priority could be given to residents of Rancho Palos Ver- des for the purchase of these affordable units.
