Gaffey St., San Pedro, CA 90731. Our concerned citizens gave us copies of documents that are disturbing and may pose a potential threat to our citizens, their property and their business. A representative of one of our HOA attended a meeting with North West San Pedro Neighborhood Council and representatives from Rancho Holdings. They reported to us that Rancho Holdings has a "like/kind" inspection policy which is when they inspect one tank and assume the other tank is in similar condition. This policy of inspections would not be tolerated for airlines or nuclear facilities. We hope this inspection policy would be part of your investigation. The Rancho Holdings LLC facility was built in 1973 without permits. We have seen the permits in 1978 stating "These permits are to legalize tanks that were built in 1973 without a permit". We request an explanation how such a facility can be built without permits. We also would like information how an inspector can do a thorough inspection it is built and operational. According to Los Angeles City Planning Department website it is within an earthquake fault zone, methane zone, landslide and liquefaction zone. How can the permit in 1978 be signed off under these circumstances? According to the Los Angeles Building and Safety office there is NO seismic gas shut off valve located at that parcel. We believe this facility poses a potential terrorist threat because we can easily park our car or stand within a couple hundred feet of these tanks. This is a photo of the Rancho LPG tanks which was taken from the heavily used Field of Dreams Park located across Westmont Avenue. MADE A PART OF THE RF ORD AT TH NCIL MEETING OF ogi/ ._. OFFICE OF THE CITY CLERK CARLA MORREALE, CITY CLERK i MADE A PART OF THE RF ORD AT TH NCIL MEETING OF ogi/ ._. OFFICE OF THE CITY CLERK CARLA MORREALE, CITY CLERK h There is a nearby municipal airport in Torrance, CA that routinely services small aircraft that fly over the area the propane and butane tanks are located. There was a recent quantitative risk analysis report by Cornerstone that caused us concern because five of the eight scenarios posed a risk to the lives and property of the citizens of Rancho Palos Verdes. We have dedicated a staff member to monitor this issue and we agree with our citizens that this is very important to public safety. The facility was recently purchased August 10, 2010 for $19,000,190.00. The City of Rancho Palos Verdes would like to fin-ther assist your office in your investigation into this facility and provide support as needed. Thank you for your attention regarding this issue. Please let our staff know if we may be of further assistance. Salutations etc...

Thanks, Steve 1. The overall cost is now to be slightly over $170,500 per year. What was our original estimate of the combined cost by the PVPLC, patrol and other costs? Staff Answer: Patrolling the Preserve to ensure compliance with City regulations including compliance with approved trail plans has always been the responsibility of the City and not the PVPLC. In 2009, to effectively enforce city regulations in the preserve, the City made the decision to implement a Park Ranger Program. During the June 2009 Budget process, the City planned for the program to consist of part-time city staff to patrol the Preserve. Later in 2009, the City explored the option of contracting with the Mountains Recreation and Conservation Authority for Park Ranger Services. Benefits included that the MRCA Rangers were sworn peace officers, wildland fire fighters, supplied their own equipment, required no training, and came with abundant experience. In December 2010, the City entered into a 120 -day pilot program with MRCA. At the conclusion of the pilot program, the City was pleased with MRCA services and entered into a one-year agreement (April 2010 -April 2011) with MRCA and increased patrol from 30 hours per week to 40 hours per week. This agreement expires April 2011.

MRCA Contract 54hrs/wk $526,925 Patrolling the Preserve to ensure compliance with City regulations including compliance with approved trail plans has always been the responsibility of the City and not the PVPLC.

The average total of 54 hours a week is a 44.4% increase over the average total hours in the year April 2010 to March 2011. What is the estimated increase in the period following the expiration of this new contract? Staff answer: The figure of 1,944 patrol hours between the period of April 2010 — March 2011 does not reflect an entire one year contract period. The 1,944 patrol hours cover a period of mid April 2010 through early March 2011 (approximately 47 weeks) which averages at about 41 hours per week. The contract was for 2,080 hours total, which will make the overall increase a 35% increase. At the May 2010 Budget Workshop, Council directed staff to increase ranger services by approximately $40,000, including the implementation of a Junior Ranger Program. To arrive at the level of increase proposed tonight, staff considered the number of hours by which the 2010-2011 contract would be increased by an additional $40,000. Staff does not anticipate an increase in hours over the next three fiscal years. However, at the time of the next contract renewal, and at the associated budget workshops, staff will present City Council with the information necessary to decide whether increased patrol and interpretive programming are warranted or needed. In addition, MRCA Supervising Ranger Jewel Johnson will be at the Council Meeting tonight to give a brief presentation and answer any questions. 3. On page 3-2, third paragraph is the statement that "also included in the contract figures is ranger drive time." What drive time does that include and is that common for contracts with protective service personnel? Staff answer: The contract accounts for one hour of travel time per ranger commute to the City of Rancho Palos Verdes; broken into 30 minutes of travel to the City, and 30 minutes returning to various ranger bases, including Santa Monica, the San Fernando Valley, and Whittier. Other protective service contracts that may be comparable are City contracts with Los Angeles County Sheriff and Los Angeles County Animal Control. We do not include drive time in the Los Angeles County Sheriff contract because of the close proximity of the Lomita Sheriff Station and the regional nature of the agreement. We do include drive time in the Los Angeles County Animal Control agreement, as they are a greater distance from the City. For protective service agreements, Page 2 of 3 C:\WINNT\Proflles\terit\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files\OLKB\cc meeting 201104-05 #3 MRCA contract renewal STAFF RESPONSE.doc 04/05/11 4:36 P including personnel drive time is common when the personnel are a significant distance from the City.

(These funds also changed by amounts over $100,000.) Staff Reply: The Capital Improvement Projects (CIP) fund had a $128,382 disbursement to Sully -Miller for the residential overlay project on February 1St The Water Quality Flood Protection (WQFP) fund received a $141,652 distribution from the County for storm drain user fees collected, yet only had small disbursements for professional services related to the San Ramon Canyon Stabilization project and installation of a catch basin for Lake Machado runoff during the month of February. Cash activity in the Employee Benefits fund reflects debits for employee withholdings and credits for payments of total expenses (both City share and employee share). The excess of credits over debits reflects payment of the City's share of expenses. The largest contributor to the $102,750 excess of credits over debits was the City's share of employee insurance premiums totaling $72,523.

WHEREAS, on March 11, 1991, the applicant, Dr. Gary Rinzler, received administrative approval from the Director of Environmental Services for an 874 square foot second story addition to his home at 28105 Golden Meadow Drive which will measure 21'-3" above existing, adjacent grade; and WHEREAS, on March 25, 1991, within the 15 day appeal period, adjacent property owner's to the immediate south of the subject property, Mr. and Mrs. Richard van der Weyde, appealed the Director's decision to the Planning Commission; and WHEREAS, after notice issued pursuant to the provisions of the Rancho Palos Verdes Development Code, a public hearing before the Planning Commission was held on May 14, 1991, at which time after hearing evidence presented by all interested parties, the Commission unanimously voted to deny the appeal, thereby approving the project; and WHEREAS, on May 29, 1991, within the 15 day appeal period, the same appellants filed a written appeal of the Planning Commission's decision to the City Council; and WHEREAS, on July 2, 1991, after notice pursuant to the provisions of the Rancho Palos Verdes Development Code, the City Council held a public hearing at which time all interested parties were given the opportunity to be heard and present evidence; and NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF RANCHO PALOS VERDES DOES HEREBY FIND, DETERMINE AND RESOLVE AS FOLLOWS: Section 1: That pursuant to Section 17.02.040 of the Development Code guidelines, the applicant has complied with the provisions set forth for early neighborhood consultation, in that he had obtained a sufficient number of signatures on the Early Neighborhood Consultation form supplied by the City to satisfy this requirement. Section 2: That the applicant constructed a temporary space frame of the outline of the proposed addition; the height and location of which were verified by Staff. CR O/C s 4 Section 3: That the structure does not significantly impair a view or vista from public property (parks, major thoroughfare, bikeway, walkway, equestrian trail, etc.) which has been identified in the City's General Plan, Coastal Specific Plan or City approved viewing area. Section 4: That the proposed structure is not located on a ridge or promontory. Section 5: That there is no significant cumulative impact caused by granting the application since those properties which have been identified as enjoying ocean views of which could be affected by the applicant's proposal, (7002 and 7003 Brookford Drive), would completely lose those views if the neighbors to the immediate west and downslope from both of these properties were to legally develop their properties per the City's Development Code with 16 foot structures. Therefore, the adverse effects of the applicant's proposal on these views would be immaterial. It has also been determined, as a result of additional view analyses from properties on Ambergate Drive, that views from these properties will not be cumulatively impaired since a significant portion of the ocean views will remain if similar additions are constructed to other homes in the vicinity. Section 6: That the proposed structure has been designed and situated in such a manner as to minimize view obstruction since the applicant has situated the second story addition centrally on the lot (a significant distance from both the front and rear yard property lines) and has significantly reduced the size and scale of the original second story addition proposal. Section 7: That based upon view analyses, the applicant's proposal will not significantly impair views enjoyed by surrounding properties. Those properties identified above which do enjoy ocean views, will not be adversely affected by the applicant's proposal. Section 8: That based upon analysis of the surrounding vicinity, the proposed structure will be compatible with the neighborhood. Although the existing residence is larger in terms of total square footage when compared with other homes in the area, it complies with all of the applicable criteria in the Development Code for development (i.e. open space, setbacks, and height). The second story addition will utilize common architectural features and/or materials that are consistent with those found throughout the area and it is Staff's opinion that the addition is not excessively bulky nor will it create a massive structure. Section 9: That the proposed project complies with all other Development Code requirements. Resolution No. 91-44 PaaP 2 Section 10: For the foregoing reasons and based on information and findings included in the Staff report and'6vidence presented at the public hearing, the City Council of the City of Rancho Palos Verdes hereby denies the appeal of Height Variation No. 697, thereby upholding the Planning Commission's decision to approve the second story addition at 28105 Golden Meadow Drive subject to the conditions in Exhibit "A" attached hereto and made a part hereof, said conditions being necessary to preserve the public health, safety, and general welfare.

On the CD is a draft letter for the Mayor and City Council to send to Senator Feinstein and Senator Boxer offices as well as other supporting documentation. I tried to keep it as short as possible with also providing supporting documentation for any facts I stated in the letter. In the letter it says a representative from one of our HOAs attended a meeting, that was me. I'm sure you will be much more eloquent than I can be so please edit the letter as you see fit. I would like to keep the picture in there if possible. Here is the contact info for Senator Feinstein: U.S. Senator Dianne Feinstein Attn: Michael Davies, Assistant Field Representative 11111 Santa Monica Blvd., Suite 915 Los Angeles, CA 90025 (310) 914-7300 Here is the contact info for Senator Boxer.

Thank you Jeanne Lacombe 4/1/2011 Dear Senator Feinstein, The Mayor and City Council of Rancho Palos Verdes would like to encourage your office to investigate the potential hazards at the Rancho LPG Holdings LLC facility at 2110 N. Gaffey St., San Pedro, CA 90731. Our concerned citizens gave us copies of documents that are disturbing and may pose a potential threat to our citizens, their property and their business. A representative of one of our HOA attended a meeting with North West San Pedro Neighborhood Council and representatives from Rancho Holdings. They reported to us that Rancho Holdings has a "like/kind" inspection policy which is when they inspect one tank and assume the other tank is in similar condition. This policy of inspections would not be tolerated for airlines or nuclear facilities. We hope this inspection policy would be part of your investigation. The Rancho Holdings LLC facility was built in 1973 without permits. We have seen the permits in 1978 stating "These permits are to legalize tanks that were built in 1973 without a permit". We request an explanation how such a facility can be built without permits. We also would like information how an inspector can do a thorough inspection it is built and operational. According to Los Angeles City Planning Department website it is within an earthquake fault zone, methane zone, landslide and liquefaction zone. How can the permit in 1978 be signed off under these circumstances? According to the Los Angeles Building and Safety office there is NO seismic gas shut off valve located at that parcel. We believe this facility poses a potential terrorist threat because we can easily park our car or stand within a couple hundred feet of these tanks. This is a photo of the Rancho LPG tanks which was taken from the heavily used Field of Dreams Park located across Westmont Avenue. .9 4 a There is a nearby municipal airport in Torrance, CA that routinely services small aircraft that fly over the area the propane and butane tanks are located. There was a recent quantitative risk analysis report by Cornerstone that caused us concern because five of the eight scenarios posed a risk to the lives and property of the citizens of Rancho Palos Verdes. We have dedicated a staff member to monitor this issue and we agree with our citizens that this is very important to public safety. The facility was recently purchased August 10, 2010 for $19,000,190.00. The City of Rancho Palos Verdes would like to further assist your office in your investigation into this facility and provide support as needed. Thank you for your attention regarding this issue. Please let our staff know if we may be of further assistance. Salutations etc... q (- -3,;L- ' � • rORRLMB �.
