Councilman Knight disclosed that he visited the appellant's property;and Councilman Duhovic disclosed that he visited the appellant's property and gne of the other two properties on Narcissa Drive. Discussion ensued among Council Members,staff,and City Attorney Lynch. Stuart Miller,attorney for the appellant Da'ad Makhlouf,stated that there is no dispute that trees on the right (of the viewing frame?)obstruct the view and the issue is if the trees impaired the view in 1951.Mr.Miller opined that the trees under discussion were not 20 feet tall in 1951;the appellant arborist opines that the trees in question are not the trees in the photographs from 1951.Mr.Miller continued that the impairment of the view was significant;added that the City defines protected views as near and far views which are of a pastoral environment or natural setting;and,defined the relevant location of the appellant's viewing area.He illustrated the appellant's opinion of her view from the secondary bedroom,master bedroom,and the deck and pointed out the trees on the Gerrard and Paulucci properties in contrast to the viewing area as defined by the City. City Attorney Lynch stated that Mr.Miller was correct,and she wanted to correct the record regarding an earlier statement,that on developed lots the viewing area may be located on any level surface within the house excluding bathrooms,closets,hallways,or garages . .Greg Monfette,arborist for appellant,stated that the photograph with the little girl and trees in the background dated 1951,and the photo dated December 23,2011,both taken from 28 Narcissa Drive,do not represent the same trees.He added that the core samples are not conclusive and there should be an exact ring date of the trees in order to get an accurate age of the trees. David F.Grimes,Licensed Land Surveyor/Map Maker,Los Angeles,stated that he prepared the survey and maps of the residences and trees.He compared the view at Draft City Council Minutes September 18,2012 Page 10 of 13 B-10 the lower sight lines,level site lines,and a view of the trees as they would appear in the 1951 photograph,which is below the level sight line. Da'ad Makhlouf,Rancho Palos Verdes,stated she completely disagrees with what staff has determined to be her viewing area,noting that the "family room"was an enclosed porch which she uses as a plant and storage room;stated that the trees under discussion are not the same trees as illustrated in the older picture (estimated between 1949 and 1951);and noted that she has not seen conclusive evidence that her view has not been impaired. Mark Paulucci,Rancho Palos Verdes,stated that he definitely knows which trees are his and they are historic trees and an integral part of the landscape legacy of Rancho Palos Verdes.He stated that the trees were certainly present when the lot was created and impaired the view at that time;added that the trees were present and impaired the view when the appellant purchased the home;and,noted that he cut down a lot of trees to be neighborly and wants to save the four trees remaining on..his property. Martha de la Torre,Rancho Palos Verdes,stated that she bought her home in 2002, moved out for a period of over four years,and have recently moved back into her home. She noted that while they were moved out the neighbors did not keep up on the maintenance trimming of their trees which has resulted in the impairment of her view. Joe Badame,Rancho Palos Verdes,stated that he has a similar issue with his neighbors and noted that residents purchase homes in the Portuguese Bend area because of the views. Dave Hayes,City arborist,stated that he and staff went out and took core samples of the trees,noting that he disagreed with Mr.Monfette;reported trees do not grow in perfect circles and that the center of a tree is rarely in the dead center of a tree;noted that he took his core sample from the uphill side of the tree and trees tend to grow more on the downhill side;and,detailed the manner in which he analyzed and determined the age of the trees.He stated that in his professional opinion Tree No.1 is between 70 and 75 years old. Stuart Miller,attorney for the appellant Da'ad Makhlouf,in rebuttal,stated that the photograph which is part of the appellant's pictures demonstrates that the telephone poles referenced earlier have moved,been altered or replaced.He noted that Mr. .Paulucci submitted no evidence that the historic trees did impair the view back in 1951 and noted that the appellant simply wants the trees on the right trimmed in the same way that the trees on the left were trimmed.He stated the tree on the right is healthy, but needs additional trimming.He concluded that the viewing area of the appellant's home is that of the secondary bedroom,master bedroom,and the deck. Discussion ensued among Council Members,staff,City Attorney Lynch,and Mr.Miller. Draft City Council Minutes September 18,2012 Page 11 of 13 B-11 Bob Nelson,Planning Commissioner,Rancho Palos Verdes,stated that he could not recall the vote on the matter,but noted that the Planning Commission determined that there was not a significant impairment of the view in this case.He noted that in his opinion,there is nothing more sacred than an old tree,and there were a number of trees that were trimmed in this case by both foliage owners,in an effort to improve the view. Discussion continued among Council Members,staff,and City Attorney Lynch. RECESS AND RECONVENE: Mayor Misetich called a brief recess from 10:05 P.M.to 10:11 P.M.
