PUBLIC HEARING:
TRACT NO. 32322 - APPROVAL Mayor Bacharach opened the public
OF TENTATIVE TRACT MAP (1411) hearing on the approval of this
tentative tract map. The City
Clerk reported that notice had been published and that no written protests were
received by the City. Associate Planner Lavitt presented the staff report on
this project to subdivide a 4.5 acre site into a five lot subdivision. Staff
recommended that Council approve this tentative tract map with the conditions
listed on Exhibit "A" of the proposed resolution.
Representing the landowner in this matter was Kevin Ketchum, 1076 W. 7th Street,
Los Angeles, told the Council that his client does not have any plans for selling
these lots, that this was part of his client's estate planning. Mr. Ketchum
stated his objection to making the requirement of the driveway as a condition
of the tract map and said it should be a condition of the building permit.
Additionally, he requested a performance bond rather than a cash deposit.
Council discussion then centered around the practicality of requiring
a driveway at this stage of the tract map and explained to Mr. Ketchum why
the City required a cash deposit rather than the posting of a bond.
It was the consensus of Council to continue this matter to the August 3,
1982 meeting.

NO. 14 (1103 x 1801) OF RANCHO PALOS VERDES MAKING

PALOS VERDES MUNICIPAL CODE was presented for adoption, first reading having
taken place on July 6, 1982.
Councilwoman Shaw moved, seconded by Councilman Dyda and carried to ADOPT
ORDINANCE NO. 158. The motion carried on the following roll call vote:
AYES: HEIN, SHAW, DYDA, & MAYOR BACHARACH
NOES: NONE
ABSENT: RYAN
STREET SWEEPING CONTRACT FOR Director Abel presented the
FISCAL YEAR 1982-83 (1405) staff memorandum of July 20
which referred to Council's
direction that staff make recommendations for monthly sweeping of arterials,
quarterly sweeping of residential streets, the status of storm drain cleaning
and consider prohibiting parking on street sweeping days. Staff presented
the costs for five street sweeping schedules and recommended that Council
authorize the Mayor to sign a contract with South Bay Sweeping Company for
monthly street sweeping of major arterials at a cost not to exceed $14,500.
COUNCIL -2- JULY 20, 1982
Objecting to staff's recommendation was Mel Hughes, 28017 San Nicolas Drive,
who suggested that instead of posting these signs that community volunteers
be used to distribute notices regarding street sweeping. He urged the Council
to consider quarterly sweeping and requested that the City go to bid on this
project.
Council then discussed whether sweeping the streets impacted the storm drain
cleaning schedule and it was concluded that it did not because the storm
drains are scheduled for cleaning annually regardless of the street sweeping
schedule.
Councilwoman Hein moved, seconded by Councilwoman Shaw and carried to accept
Alternative No. 3 to sweep the streets quarterly for an annual cost of $17,630.
The motion carried on the following roll call vote:
AYES: HEIN, SHAW, DYDA, & MAYOR BACHARACH
NOES: NONE
ABSENT: RYAN
Responding to an ingiuiry' from Jerry Block, 29927 Avenida Anillo, regarding
bids for this sweeping contract, Council said that the City did go to bid
on this contract a few years ago, but because of the small amount of work
involved, few bids were received.
ESTATE ZONING (1801) Associate Planner Alice Angus
presented the Planning Commission's
July 6 report on their review of
the subject of Estate Zoning. The Commission recommended against the establish-
ment of such a zone. Staff recommended that Council review the study and decide
whether to (1) pursue estate zoning, or (2) reject estate zoning.
Mrs. Elias Vanderlip, 100 Vanderlip Drive, explained to the Council the use
of these structures: two are used by household servants and the remainder
are used by tenants who have been living there over three years. She said
that there are twelve people living on the estate.
Muriel Titzler, 3 Ginger Root Lane, told the Council that the point is whether
or not these units had building permits issued,or if the area is zoned for that
type of housing and if this building was done according to the laws of the City.
Council discussion then centered on the number of units that had been allowed
by the City, the number of units existing prior to incorporation, and whether
the units built with City approval had been built according to code.
Councilman Dyda moved, seconded by Councilwoman Hein to cease pursuing estate
zoning and instruct staff to look into code violations, if any, on the existing
dwelling units and report back to Council for appropriate action.
Additional Council discussion centered on whether these units would fulfill
the "granny flats" concept, 1.- ; if this concept could be pursued through the
General Plan amendment process, and if the motion on the floor should be
divided between whether nr not to continue with the estate zoning study and
review of the code violations.
The motion carried on a three - one vote with Councilwoman Shaw voting in
opposition.

Dudley, 7021 Crest Road, Jane Korenich, 7051 Crest Road, and Jerome Block,
29927 Avenida Anillo. These residents were alarmed over the amount of grading,

to the area and its proximity to some of their homes, and whether the grading
was being done in compliance with County code.
COUNCIL -3- JULY 20, 1982

and explained what limited jurisdiction this City had over the project since

and neighborhood drainage.
