RANCHO PALOS VERDES CITY COUNCIL
Regular Meeting
November 20, 1973
The meeting was called to order at Ridgecrest School, 28915 Northbay Road, at 7:40 p.m.
by Mayor Marilyn Ryan. Roll call was answered as follows:
PRESENT: Councilmen Gunther Buerk, Ken Dyda, Francis D. Ruth,
Robert E. Ryan and Mayor Marilyn Ryan
ABSENT: None
Also present were Acting City Manager Lee Weber, Assistant City Attorney Tom Winfield,
and Deputy City Clerk Doris Brown.
MINUTES APPROVAL On motion of Councilman Ryan, seconded by Council-
man Dyda and carried, the Minutes of the Adjourned
Regular Meeting of November 14, 1973, were approved
as submitted.
ARMAGA SPRINGS CONDOMINIUM Council received a letter from Cathy Lyte, explain-
1804 ing the hardship caused her by the lack of action
on an application to convert apartments to a con-
dominium, with a copy of the by-laws attached. Don Davis, representing the owner of
the Armaga Springs development, noted that the conversion was previously approved by
the County; and that it was costing the owners $375.00 per day to continue their
interim financing.
The City Attorney explained that when he suggested the matter might be called to the
attention of the City Council at the previous meeting, it had been his intent that
perhaps there was a basis for this development being different from other pending
conversions in the City; and, if that were so, there would be presented factual dis-
tinguishing features in writing, and if a uniqueness so warranted, it could be set
for public hearing.
He recommended that, since the general matter of conversions to condominiums is before
the Planning Advisory Committee, that the information presented be referred to them
for use in their determination, with the understanding that they come up with a factual
basis for this development being different from the others. It was agreed by the
City Council that the letter and materials should be forwarded to the Planning Advisory
Committee for consideration and determination.
It was noted that the work session of the City Council on December 11 would be devoted
to the subject of condominium conversions, and that they would like preliminary
information from the Planning Advisor before that date. The other topic scheduled
for that particular Council work session would be concerning the Road Department.
SHOPPING CENTER IMPACT REPORT After review by the City Attorney, the City Council
103 authorized execution of a contract with planning
consultants Kennard and Silvers for an impact
appraisal of the proposed May Company shopping center, on motion of Councilman Ryan,
seconded by Councilman Dyda and carried.
INTERIM DEVELOPMENT PERMITS Council received a memorandum report from the
1205 Planning Advisor regarding the interim development
permits that have been filed with the City, and
recommending that the City Council hold two hearings at each weekly meeting. After
discussing the dates of the City Council meetings and the work loads for each, it was
agreed that the Planning Advisor should be instructed to set public hearings for the
Council 73-053 Nov. 20, 1973

It was moved by Councilman Buerk, seconded by Councilman Ryan, and carried, that the
City Attorney prepare a resolution for the next meeting requesting owners not to use
outside Christmas lights in view of the need for energy conservation.
COMMENDATION Councilman Ryan commented upon a letter to the
editor in the newspaper regarding a heroic action
on the part of Craig Ruth. He asked the editor
for a copy so that the Council could present a commendation to Mr. Ruth.
PLANNING COMMITTEE ACTIONS Councilman Buerk requested an inventory of pending
1203 applications before the Planning Advisory Committee
and the anticipated time that the Council could
receive such actions. The Chairman of the Planning Committee was present and said that
this could be worked out with the Planning Advisor.
CENTERLINE STRIPING Michael Gorden noted a number of streets that had
been repaved and the centerline striping covered,
creating difficult driving in fog. Councilman
Ryan noted that Crest Road also needs to be restriped. The Acting City Manager
requested Mr. Gorden to contact him the following day and give him the names of the
streets so that appropriate action could be taken.
Councilman Buerk reported on his meeting with Mr. Butler of the Road Department regard-
ing Palos Verdes Drive East, noting that a study in progress was stopped upon incor-
poration, but that he has asked that the study be completed at no cost to the City.
EXECUTIVE SESSION At 10:25 p.m. the meeting was recessed for approxi-
mately one hour for an Executive Session on the
City Manager Recruitment Program, on motion of
Councilman Dyda, seconded by Councilman Ryan and carried. The meeting reconvened at
11:40 p.m. with the same Councilmen present.
