park had gone through the Planning Commission 'process; the' '
time of day that the Coastal hearing on this park took. place
at City. Hall; the radius of notice. far. that hearing, and,

further improvements at Abalone Cove Shoreline Park. The
motion failed on a 2-2 vote, with Board members Hughes. and . -
Bacharach voting in opposition.
The Board ,discussion then 'returned to the approval and
hearing process for parks; whether the construction of this
building. interfered with the installation of the other . +' ' _
improvements, at the park; and the effect that eliminating the
building would have on the contractor's bid. Discussion then
centered on whether =the contractor could.,re'-bid 'this--project {" t
in a reduced scope that would eliminate the building but'' !
provide for the picnic table pads, trails, and fencing.
Discussion• contz led on referring this bui feting i tb .the Par;k�s
and Recreation Committee and to .the ,Planning Commission 'for
review' of any restrictions and treatment .of this 'project as a
coastal permit item. Suggestions :were made, that the Parks
and Recreation Committee develop a theme and that an artist
examine the building with the idea of having a low intensity .
appearance. Additional discussion then centered' on f the ' ' •
timeframe involved in sending this to the Parks and
Recreation Committee and the Planning Commission.'and- the fact
that the bid presented was good for only 60 days.

EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR REPORTS:
STATUS OF BOARD DIRECTIVES The Board requested an update
on the 1990 legislation.
AUDIENCE QUESTIONS:
Responding to the Chairman' s call for audience questions was
Lois Larue, 3136 Barkentine, who thanked the Board for its
work on the Abalone Cove Shoreline Park; reported on the
Coast Guard's investigation of some off-shore foam substance;
and reported an incident she encountered along Palos Verdes
Dr. South during which a 16-wheeler truck was speeding along
the highway. She further explained her reporting of this
incident to the Sheriff's Dept. and the response received
from them.
In light of the additional policing of the area because of
these large trucks and the fact that it is a special
condition imposed during the construction of the A&H tract
staff was instructed to contact the Sheriff's Department for
an explanation of the perfunctory answer given to Ms. Larue.
John Arand, 3731 Mistridge, representing the Rancho Palos
Verdes Council of Homeowners Associations, presented a
resolution passed by that organization stating their
opposition to the reduction in the Portuguese Bend Landslide
Moratorium area. (This resolution is on the file with the
Agency Secretary. )
Mr. Arand was informed that this rightfully should have been
submitted to the City Council .
