ABALONE COVE DEWATERING
WELL PROJECT - MITIGATED NEGATIVE
DECLARATION (1203 x 1900)
I/
Senior Planner Joel Rojas presented the staff report of July 5 and
the recommendation to conduct the public hearing and receive public
comment on the draft mitigated negative declaration.
Speaking in support of this project was Sharon Hegetschweiler, 6
Clovetree Place, President of the Portuguese Bend Community
Association, who encouraged the Board to move quickly in starting
this project.
Kathy Snell, 8 Vanderlip Drive, commented on the location of the
wells to be installed in the Abalone Cove landslide area stating
that most of them will be installed outside of the actual landslide
limits. She suggested the utilities be undergrounded and that
consideration be given to discharging the water from the wells
directly into the ocean as the water may pose a significant health
risk. Additionally, she felt that Well No. 1 in Kelvin Canyon was
too close to an Indian midden which possibly contains artifacts.
There being no additional public testimony, Member McTaggart moved,
seconded by Member Byrd to close the public hearing on this matter
with regard to oral comments. Motion carried.
A brief discussion followed and focused on the expediency by which
these wells should be installed. The suggestion was made that
brush be cleared around the wells to minimize fire hazard.

STAFF WITH DIRECTION ON WHETHER THE SCOPE OF THE PROPOSED SEWER
SYSTEM EIR SHOULD BE EXPANDED TO INCLUDE AN ANALYSIS OF THE
PREVIOUSLY PROPOSED ZONE 2 DEVELOPMENT GUIDELINES.
Sharon Hegetschweiler, President of the Portuguese Bend Community
Association, spoke in support of the completion of this EIR and
said that the Association is interested in seeing the Horan money
spent on the sewer system at this time.

Board discussion dealt with whether it would be possible to have a
separate document each for the sewer system project and for the
Proposed Zone 2 Development Guidelines, with the Horan funds being
used only for the preparation of the EIR for the Abalone Cove sewer
system.
I/ Member Byrd moved, seconded by Member McTaggart to request two
separate reports for the sewer system and the Zone 2 Development
Guidelines; additionally, that both reports could be prepared by
the same consultant. The motion carried on the following roll call
vote:
AYES: BYRD, McTAGGART, LYON, BROOKS & CHAIRMAN
KUYKENDALL
NOES: NONE
The idea of having the City loaning the funds to cover the cost of
the Zone 2 portion of the EIR study and the appropriate mechanism
for doing that was discussed. The Agency Attorney opined that the
Agency should pursue an agreement with the property owners in
advance of making this expenditure.
Dave Ruth, 40 Cinnamon Lane, said that he would feel comfortable in
being assessed at a later time to pay for part of the EIR expenses
as it pertains to Zone 2.
Chairman Kuykendall moved, that staff should explore ways for
reimbursing the City for that portion of the Zone 2 EIR expense and
that this should be presented to the Board at the same time as the
contract for the secondary phase. The motion was seconded by
Member Brooks. Motion carried.
ADJOURNMENT: At 11:25 P.M. the meeting adjourned to July 19 on
motion of Chairman Kuykendall.
