Architect Davis, Mr. Nunn and Mr. Cayley each took turns rebutting opposing testimony.
RECESS At 9:35 P.M. Mayor Bacharach declared
a recess. At 9:45 P.M. the meeting
reconvened with the same members present.
After Council comments on whether this project would significantly impact the Cayley's
view and if the project was designed to minimize view obstruction it was the general
consensus of Council that the findings could be made that this did not significantly
impact view: that this project will not cause cumulative impact and that it would not
change the character of the neighborhood. Councilwoman Shaw moved, seconded by Council-
man Ryan to uphold the appeal of Height Variation No. 170 and that staff prepare an
appropriate resolution for adoption at the next Council meeting. The motion carried
unanimously.
AUDIENCE QUESTIONS:
MONTEMALAGA MEDIAN Chuck Sanderson, 5400 Montemalaga Drive,
(1502) said he was concerned about the left
turn lane since the City of Rolling Hills
Estates will be installing a traffic light
at the intersection of Montemalaga and Silver Spur. He wanted to know if the lane could be
shortened.
Public Works Director Abel responded that the 200 feet was needed to meet the anticipated
increase in traffic in this area.
TREES BLOCKING VIEW Gloria Whitthorn, 5925 Clint Place, inquired
if the City had an ordinance dealing with
tree blocking view. Council advised her
that this is something she would have to work out with her neighbor.
DEADMAN/BARKENTINE CANYONS Lois Larue, 3136 Barkentine Road, drew a
(1801) sketch of the area she felt was experiencing
land slippage; cited the erosion caused
by the drainage from Presley Tract and referred to a 1974 copy of the Palos Verdes News
which contained an article about land movement in the Abalone Cove area. She commented on
her meeting with Public Works Director Charles Abbott and Dr. Perry Ehlig.
Director Abbott read his August 11, 1981 memorandum concerning the field trip that he and
Dr Ehlig made in that area. He said that he had read this letter to Dr. Ehlig and had
received his approval of the contents.
After Council discussion of the changes made in the drainage system from the Presley tract
and what could be done to mitigate the changes made in Barkentine Canyon, Councilman Dyda
moved, seconded by Councilwoman Hein that staff review the changes in Barkentine and
Deadman Canyon and see if recent erosion would warrant some mitigating measures that could
be done to reduce the potential of future erosion. After further comments concerning
possible mitigating measures and their costs, Councilwoman Hein moved to call for the
question. The motion was seconded by Councilman Ryan and carried. Councilman Dyda's
motion carried on a three - two vote with Councilmembers Shaw and Bacharach voting in
opposition.
CHANGE IN AGENDA Councilman Dyda moved, seconded by Council-
man Ryan and carried to reopen the agenda.
Councilman Dyda moved, seconded by Council-
woman Hein and carried to change the order
of the agenda and consider Item C-1 (Removal of Earthen Dam) and D-1 (Letter from Mary Ann
Toloczko) as the next items of business.
PUBLIC HEARING - - - The Mayor reopened this public hearing
which had been continued from the August 4th
meeting.
PUBLIC HEARING KLONDIKE CANYON Ludwig 0. Zelt, 4354 Exultant Drive,
REMOVAL OF EARTHEN DAM president of the non-profit corporation for
(1801) the Klondike Canyon Hazard Abatement
District, told the Council that the
homeowners are in the process of getting their insurance and they are trying everything
possible to expedite this matter so they can remove the hazard themselves.
There was no response to the Mayor's call for additional public testimony.
