Dear Greg,
As long-time residents of SeaView,both Jacqui and I are opposed to Trump's request for removal of the requirement for
him to obtain Coastal Commission Approval prior to installing the New Zealand Christmas Tree Hedge.
We are all aware of Mr.Trump's modus-operandi in these matters.Hw ill never take,"no,"for an answer,but rater re-
file Application after Application,asking for the same thing,with only minor changes to each Application,with the
anticipation that one will finally get through.This City Council has to take a firm position,with this,and any succeeding
Application(s),that this tactic will not work in our Community.Council should take this opportunity to review their
approval on June 7,2005,for the Driving Range,and rescind that decision.
Respectfully submitted,
~/(~Ih

Dear Honorable Mayor,City Council Members and City Staff members;
I have reviewed the staff notes that pertain to the Crestridge Senior Condominiums.My concerns are
with the regulations for foliage height.Here are my questions and requests for your consideration:
1.Will the lined photo simulations taken from the four Mistridge and Seaside Heights residences
(with their house numbers omitted)be published in the Crestridge C,C,&R's?If not,how will their
HOA and its members know where the line is drawn so they won't violate it?
2.Would enforcement of this foliage height condition involve anyone gaining access to the four
Mistridge and Seaside Heights backyards?
For example:
(a)Would the City need to access those four backyards if other Mesa property owners complained
about Crestridge foliage heights impairing their views?
(b)What would happen if the Crestridge HOA wanted to verify their foliage height line compliance?
We have raised these "access·issues at past City meetings but without satisfactory resolution.The
owners of the four properties sent letters to the City stating their unWillingness to grant such access
and/or that they reserved the right to refuse access.
Therefore,prior to approving the foliage height regulation,we request that the City please
reach agreements with these four property owners in terms of property-access so as to avoid
future disputes.
3.The Condition refers to "the line"which landscaping heights shall not exceed.
That "line"was drawn across the rooftops of simulated buildings which were added to the four view
photos.
It is important to note that no "line"is common to all four photos.
The location of the "the line"varies depending on the viewing perspectives,so technically,there are
multiple lines.
We ask that the City please ensure enforcement of "the line(s)"which would create the most
restrictive landscaping heights relative to the viewing perspective(s).
I appreciate all that the city staff and planning commission has done so far to address my concerns and
the concerns of my neighbors.We are fortunate to live in a city that appreciates that value of its
homeowner's views.
Very Truly Yours,
~...~

Subject:RE:May 21 Letter to City
Hello Mr.Rockoff,
I will forward your letter on to the City Council.In the meantime,I offer the following responses to the issues you raise
in your letter.
First point:it is envisioned that the photos will be made part of the CC&Rs,and that no addresses will be used.
Second point:the condition does not grant permission to access anyone's property.City staff would call or send a letter
to make an appointment.It is important to note that if City Staff receives a complaint from a resident along Ocean ridge,
Mistridge or Seaside Heights,that the foliage is growing above the rooflines,then we will coordinate with that resident
to conduct a site visit to verify and document through photographs.Since it is the City's determination and since we
would document through photos,there would be no need for the Crestridge HOA to independently go out to the
residences along the three aforementioned streets.
Third point:the condition (as proposed)provides the flexibility to review view impairing foliage from any residence along
the three aforementioned streets.
I hope the above responses address your concerns.
Hope all is well.

EDUARDO,THANK YOU FOR YOUR PROMPT RESPONSE TO MY E-MAIL OF YESTERDAY.I WOULD
APPRECIATE IT IF YOU COULD ANSWER THE FOLLOWING 2 QUESTIONS TODAY.THIS SHOULD RESOLVE
ALL OF THE QUESTIONS.
1.ARE YOU SAYING THAT:THE ONLY TIME IT WOULD BE NECESSARY TO ACCESS THE BACKYARDS OF
THE FOUR PROPERTIES (ON MISTRIDGE &SEASIDE HEIGHTS)IS WHEN THOSE OWNERS COMPLAINED
ABOUT THE FOLIAGE IMPAIRING THEIR OWN VIEWS,OTHERWISE,NEITHER THE CITY NOR THE HOA
WOULD NEED TO ACCESS THOSE BACKYARDS?
2.1F THIS IS NqT WHAT YOU'RE SAYING,THEN PLEASE IDENTIFY THE SITUATIONS UNDER WHICH
ACCESS TO THE FOUR PROPERTIES WOULD BE REQUIRED.AND HOW DOES THE CITY EXPECT TO GAIN
ACCESS GIVEN WHAT THE FOUR PROPERTY OWNERS HAVE COMMUNICATED ABOUT DENYING SUCH
ACCESS?
THANKING YOU AGAIN

concert halls including Carnegie Hall,Beijing's National Center for the Performing Arts,the Great Hall of Moscow Conservatory,
the Great Hall at the Gulbenkian Foundation in Lisbon,Warsaw Philharmonic Hall and numerous appearances at the Mariinsky
Theater's Concert Hall in St.Petersburg.He has collaborated with conductors Valery Gergiev,Vladimir Spivakov,and Jahja Ling,

ABOUT OUR SOLOIST

PROGRAM NOTES
CONCERTO ARMONICO No.2 in B Flat-Allegro Count Wilhelm van Wassenaer
To open our concert,this delightful,but unknown work,has been chosen because of its
significance in recent findings on the true sources of Stravinsky's "Pulcinella"Suite.
"PULCINELLA"SUITE Igor Stravinsky
Stravinsky's first major successes were with Serge Diaghilev's "Ballet Russe"in Paris-including
the scores of "Firebird","Petroushka",and "The Rite of Spring".
After the notorious premiere of "The Rite",Diaghilev decided something "more accessible"was
called for,and suggested Stravinsky write a ballet based on some manuscripts by the early
Baroque composer Giovanni Pergolesi,which he had collected (he believed)in Rome,and
knowing that Stravinsky admired him.Stravinsky was taken with the idea,and composed
"Pulcinella",now generally regarded as the first work of his "neo-classical"period.
It was premiered in Paris in May,1920,conducted by Ernest Ansermet,with decor by Picasso,
choreography by Massine,and of course music by Stravinsky-what a tribute to Diaghilev's
"impresarial"genius!Unknown to Stravinsky,many of scores he worked from were not by
Pergolesi (including our first work,as will be discussed in tonight's Preview talk).However,most
of the sources Stravinsky used are redone in terms of his own idiom.The orchestral Suite derived
from the ballet has become one of Stravinsky's most popular works.The story is based on a
popular 16th century Italian comedy,with its main characters,the pathetic Pierrot,the flirtatious
Columbine,and the deathless Pulcinella ("Punch"to the English-speaking world).
PIANO CONCERTO NO.5 in E Flat Major ("Emperor")Ludwig v.Beethoven
The "Emperor"Concerto,composed in 1809,was only given its first performance in Vienna in
1812,due to Napoleon's war with Austria.The soloist was Carl Czerny;Beethoven had been
soloist in his previous four concertos,but at this time he was too deaf to appear in public
(probably one reason it was his last piano concerto).It is the longest and most symphonic of his
piano concertos--no one had composed anything like it up to that time.The opening ,with its
impressive solo statements,prior to an extended orchestra introduction,tells us a major work lies
ahead.Beethoven directed there were to be no improvised cadenzas,and wrote out only a brief
cadenza that appears near the end of the first movement.There is no break between the slow
and final movements,a practice which Beethoven used with great effect in his Fifth Symphony.
There is a famous moment in the transition from the Adagio,where the bassoon holds a long B
Natural (the Adagio key),and then descends a semitone to B Flat,setting up the dominant of E
Flat,the key of the Rondo.
We really do not know why the concerto has been named "The Emperor"-one story is that a
French officer attending the first performance,cried out "what an Emperor of a Concerto".
But its imposing grandeur seems to justify the label!

DR.FRANCES STEINER
MUSIC DIRECTOR
CHAMBER ORCHESTRA
OF THE
SOUTH BAY
The primary mission of the COSB is to serve as the fully-professional ciassical orchestra in the South Bay
area of Los Angeles.It is now the only such orchestra officially resident in a South Bay venue,and the only one
offering a full season with national/international-Ievel soloists.The COSB has received four awards from the
National Endowment for the Arts.
The COSB began as a professional orchestra under Conductor Frances Steiner in 1983,with the completion
of the Norris Theatre,where it was appointed resident orchestra in 1987.It is now in its 30th Season,giving a
basic five-concert season,and its audiences have grown to the point where it has sold-out the Norris for the
past eight years.
The COSB has received good reviews from the Los Angeles Times,and has been recognized as a quality
professional orchestra by the California Arts Council and National Endowment for the Arts.Its final concert of
the 1997-98 season was broadcast by KKGO-FM,probably the first time a performing arts group from the South
Bay areas has been broadcast by a major Los Angeles radio station.In a December 1999 review,LA Times
Critic Daniel Cariaga wrote:"One of the better-kept local secrets,the Chamber Orchestra of the South Bay
continues to uphold high standards in both performance and programming.Under music director Frances
Steiner,the ensemble's final offering of 1999,Sunday night at Norris Theater in Palos Verdes,met and even
surpassed those standards in exciting and admirable ways."
•••
Dr.Steiner made musical history when she became the first woman to conduct a professional orchestra (the
Glendale Symphony)from the stage of the Los Angeles Music Center's Dorothy Chandler Pavilion.In addition
to the COSB and Carson/Dominguez Symphony,her guest conducting includes appearances with the Bay Area
Women's Philharmonic,Wisconsin Chamber Orchestra,Long Beach Symphony,Oakland Symphony and the

The Trump Organization Public Hearing on May 21,2013

and
To:Greg Pfost
From:Dena Friedson
Re:Public Hearing on May 21,2013 with respect to the Trump Organization's Request To Install New Zealand
Christmas Trees without the Necessary Permit
As stated in the Staff Report and Addendum Number 2,the Trump Organization must obtain permission from
the Coastal Commission and the Commission Staff before installing New Zealand Christmas trees as a hedge at
its driving range.This permission has not been received.
Approval of the applicant's request at this time is NOT a minor adjustment to the Conditional Use Permit.It is
a major change in the required procedure that would set a very undesirable precedent.
It seems inconceivable to me that the City Council would not adhere to the Coastal Commission's and the City's
rules and regulations in order to satisfy the wishes of any applicant.
Please do not grant the Trump Organization's request.
Thank you for your careful consideration regarding this important issue.

Revision "CCC"to the Trump National Golf Course Project - A Revision to Condition K2-B
Pertaining to the New Zealand Christmas Tree Hedge on the Driving Range
Mayor Brooks,Mayor Pro Tem Duhovic,and Council Members Campbell,Knight,and Misetich,
I agree with the Coastal Commission Staff regarding the value of retaining the Condition of Approval with respect to New
Zealand Christmas Trees on the Trump National driving range:
"Retaining the language would ensure that the correct permit process is reflected on the City's permit.
That is,the applicant,or his successor in interest,applies for an amendment to the permit from the
Commission,unless the Executive Director of the Commission determines that no amendment is legally
required.Retention of the language would ensure that there is no confusion over the correct permit
procedure,and that a Coastal Development Permit is approved before development occurs on the site."
I believe that the lessons we learned,from the process involving the Annenberg Foundation's proposal for development of
Lower Pt Vicente,support retaining the COA.We should be moving toward a policy of greater transparency in the public
record,in this case retaining very clear documentation and notice of restrictions on development not only for the good of
the applicant but for the public,as well.We should not move toward facilitating developers'(or anybody else's)disregard
of laws or other agencies'requirements,which are,after all,in place to protect the public's interests.
Accordingly,I oppose removal of the Condition of Approval in the last sentence of K-2b.

Trump Revision "CCC"May 21 agenda
Dear RPV Mayor Susan Brooks,Mayor pro tern Jerry Duhovic,and City Council Members Brian
Campbell,Jim Knight,and Anthony Misetich,
Since reading the staff report,I have some further comments on Revision CCC to add to what I wrote in my
previous letter dated May 14.
Here is the reason expressed in the letter from the Trump Organization to the City for the request Rev.
CCC:"In anticipation of several high-profile guests at the Club in the coming weeks and months it is our goal
to showcase our practice facility as well as the City of Rancho Palos Verdes in the best light possible.
The hedges as approved in Revision ZZ,are an important and critical "piece of the puzzle"in achieving this
goal.".
Trump Revision "W'states:
G.OPERATION OF THE GOLF COURSE AND DRIVING RANGE
8.Any changes in the project which results in significant changes in the development characteristics ofthe
approved conceptual plan per Condition F.7 above,shall require that an application for a revision to the
Conditional Use Permit be filed.
Since this request requires a Revision to the CUP,it is Not a "minor change"as stated in the staff report.It is a
significant change.
It is my understanding that if that part of the agreement (which the applicant agreed to in 2012)gets
cancelled,then the Trump organization would be able to by-pass the Coastal Commission process and plant the
hedge plants Now,before the Coastal Permit application is completed and processed for approval or
denial.The "species"is not the issue.Planting a hedge before being granted a Coastal Permit is the issue.
I object to Revision CCC and ask that you do Not approve deleting the sentence in the Condition of Approval
K2-b.The specific sentence reinforces the authority of the State Coastal Act and of the City of RPV to enforce
proper procedure.
Like other applicants,this Applicant should obtain the Coastal Permit before development occurs on the
site,not vice-versa.That's the process everyone else has to follow.While I appreciate the fine amenities that
Trump National provides to the public,I believe that this developer should follow the rules and permit process
and wait for Coastal Commission review.Others in the Coastal Zone are not exempt from CA Coastal
Commission review prior to planting.Neither should this developer be exempt.
As for the concern in the staff report about the City incurring expenses if the Condition remains unchanged and
the applicant plants the hedge anyway,there is provision initiated by Mayor Brooks and approved by the
Council in Jan.2012 for the developer to reimburse the City for any costs incurred for trimming or removal.
The City of RPV and the Coastal Commission has allowed the "temporary opening"and operation of this
facility without a permit since June 2005 until now.
That's almost 8 years without a Coastal permit!
As an Alternative to this request,I suggest that the developer/applicant be allowed to place (but not install in
1 I.
the ground)boxed plants on the Driving Range for the tournaments or special "high-profile guests"functions
only,and then remove the crated plants within a few days after the event.
Please do not give approve Revision CCC as presented.
Thank you for all you do for RPV!

Trump requested revision
Dear Mayor Brooks and Council Members,
I am opposed to the revision of the conditions of approval that require Coastal Commission prior approval of
the planting of the New Zealand Christmas Trees.While we may all understand that CCC approval is ultimately
required,it seems clear that the applicant is intent on planting the trees first,then waiting to see if the CCC acts
to interpose an objection.This is not unlike the applicant's would happen,and asking for forgiveness after the
fact,rather than approval prior to taking the action.
The language in the condition requiring prior approval provides the City with enforcement powers that can and
should be exercised in the event of breach.Any costs associated with recoupment of costs expended by the City
in enforcement are recoverable against the property owner,and upon failure by the owner to reimburse the City,
the City would have the power,right and authority to impose a lien on the property for the recoupment.The
proposed revision takes away the City's power to enforce the condition and impose a lien.There is no
justification for weakening the City's authority over the matter.
Please leave the condition as written and continue to require PRIOR approval by the CCC before the trees are
installed.
Thank you for your consideration.
Sharon Yarber

Dear City Council Members and Staff,
Please do not allow this applicant to begin the process of reversing the restrictions that were put in place
by several Councils during decades of careful consideration.
Although we applaud the present Council for cultivating a better relationship with this developer,it
should not come at the expense of the public's enjoyment of a coastal drive and trail.Such decisions,without a
doubt,should be re:viewed by the California Coastal Commission.

Dear Greg,
As long-time residents of SeaView,both Jacqui and I are opposed to Trump's request for removal of the requirement for
him to obtain Coastal Commission Approval prior to installing the New Zealand Christmas Tree Hedge.
We are all aware of Mr.Trump's modus-operandi in these matters.Hw ill never take,"no,"for an answer,but rater re-
file Application after Application,asking for the same thing,with only minor changes to each Application,with the
anticipation that one will finally get through.This City Council has to take a firm position,with this,and any succeeding
Application(s),that this tactic will not work in our Community.Council should take this opportunity to review their
approval on June 7,2005,for the Driving Range,and rescind that decision.
Respectfully submitted,
Peter K.Von Hagen

Objection to Trump request "ccc"re:Coastal Commission approval
Dear Sir:
You are authorized to present and submit the following statement
on my behalf to the City Council at its May 21 meeting.
The Coastal Commission review is a vital,final safeguard
protecting views for the residents of Rancho Palos Verdes and all
who share the Palos Verdes coastal view.It is also a vital
safeguard to preserve the habitats of native animals which may and
often do include members of endangered species.
Thus the provision requiring Coastal Commission review and
approval,which all others are routinely required to follow,should
not be bypassed for anyone,and especially not for the Trump
organization which has in the past repeatedly shown a total
disregard for the welfare of the residents of Rancho Palos Verdes
and the animals which inhabit the Palos Verdes Peninsula.The
Trump organization has made clear on numerous past occasions
its priority to modify its property according to its own wishes
regardless of whether the modifications negatively impact the rights
of other residents and regardless of agreements it has previously
accepted.
/~1
Thus the agreements currently in place are vitally needed to
contain ruthless developers like Trump and should be left intact.I
therefore urge the City Council to reject the Trump Organization's
request to delete the portion of their current agreement requiring
Coastal Commission review and approval prior to
making modifications to its existing landscape.
My wife has indicated that she wishes to join me in this objection to
the Trump "GGG'request and wants you to know that it is from both
of us.From conversations with my RPV neighbors and friends,I
know that many of them also support this objection to the Trump
request.

May 15,2013
We are writing to oppose Revision "CCC",We are very concerned with the latest Trump National/
VH Property's request for deleting the last sentence within Condition K2-b of the Conditional Use
Permit No.163.
The sentence change requested seems to us to be an oxymoron.The hedge that the city cOll11cil
approved on January 17,2012 will block views from the public when they use the public trials and
public roadside.0
Further it implies that the California Coastal Commission will not have the final say in approving /
not approving the view blocking hedge or the current temporary Trump Driving Range.
We urge you to vote down this revision "CCC"proposal.
Thank you.

!will forward your letter on to the City Council.In the meantime,!offer the following responses to the issues you raise
in your letter.
First point:it is envisioned that the photos will be made part of the CC&Rs,and that no addresses will be used.
Second point:the condition does not grant permission to access anyone's property.City staff would call or send a letter
to make an appointment.It is important to note that if City Staff receives a complaint from a resident along Oceanridge,
Mistridge or Seaside Heights,that the foliage is growing above the rooflines,then we will coordinate with that resident
to conduct a site visi~to verify and document through photographs.Since it is the City's determination and since we
would document through photos,there would be no need for the Crestridge HOA to independently go out to the
...residenees along the three aforementioned streets.
Third point:the condition (as proposed)provides the flexibility to review view impairing foliage from any residence
along the three aforementioned streets.

May 21,2013
Dear Honorable Mayor,City Council Members and City Staff members;
I have reviewed the staff notes that pertain to the Crestridge Senior Condominiums.My concerns are
with the regulations for foliage height.Here are my questions and requests for your consideration:
1.Will the lined photo simulations taken from the four Mistridge and Seaside Heights residences
(with their house numbers omitted)be published in the Crestridge C,C,&R's?If not,how will their
HOA and its members know where the line is drawn so they won't violate it?
2.Would enforcement of this foliage height condition involve anyone gaining access to the four
Mistridge and Seaside Heights backyards?
For example:
(a)Would the City need to access those four backyards if other Mesa property owners complained
about Crestridge foliage heights impairingiheirviews?
(b)What would happen if the Crestridge HOA wanted to verify their foliage height line compliance?
We have raised these "access"issues at past City meetings but without satisfactory resolution.The
owners of the four properties sent letters to the City stating their unwillingness to grant such access
and/or that they reserved the right to refuse access.
Therefore,prior to approving the foliage height regulation,we request that the City please
reach agreements with these four property owners in terms of property-access so as to avoid
future disputes.
3.The Condition refers to "the line"which landscaping heights shall not exceed.
That "line"was drawn across the rooftops of simulated buildings which were added to the four view
photos.
It is important to note that no "line"is common to all four photos.
The location of the "the line"varies depending on the viewing perspectives,so technically,there are
multiple lines.
We ask that the City please ensure enforcement of "the line(s)"which would create the most
restrictive landscaping heights relative to the viewing perspective(s).
I appreciate all that the city staff and planning commission has done so far to address my concerns and
the concerns of my neighbors.We are fortunate to live in a city that appreciates that value of its
homeowner's views.
Very Truly Yours,
Robert Rockoff

May 21,2013.Item G.Many more than two wrongs can be made right.
Once upon a time,the City of Rancho Palos Verdes could/would accept cash donations for specific community
interest activities.Building the Point Vicente Interpretive Center was a big one among thousands of little ones.
G.Gifts for Parks (Howe)
Recommendation:Accept Gifts for Parks donations and direct staff to prepare donor letters of appreciation for
the Mayor's signature.
Whatever happened to the money which was donated before it took a City Council action to accept them?I
hear that The Discovery Room at Ladera Linda is no longer a ghost barn.Why isn't the skunk skin,a live
mount?Why doesn't the hummingbird have a flower?Why is the Great Homed Owl's gopher still in a
freezer?Those were specific,not General Fund Donations.Easy answer.The City Council took the money
away from Parks &Rec and Staff can't remember to ask for it back.
The only reason why it requires a City Council resolution to make and send out Thank You notes is because the
City ofRPV got so poor that they became like parents who had to steal their son's bar mitzvah money to put
food on the table.We are not so poor any more.Take a guilt trip.Please stop abusing less than major donors
and volunteers.
Choose one City wide non-profit organization and support it.Los Serenos or PVPLC.Stop jerking them both
around.It all comes down to the RPV General Plan Update.Where are your ambitions headed?...S

May 21,2013 Council Meeting Item H.San Ramon Project.
San Ramon proposed -0408.pdf
MEMO from Sunshine
TO:RPV City Council
RE:May 21,2013 Council Meeting Item H.San Ramon Project.
Just because some money can be saved doesn't mean you have to spend it.But,if you are inclined to,now
would be a good time to buy the design for a TYPE 4 trail connection across San Ramon Canyon.The actual
trail construction could then be a change order to the work in progress.The bulldozers are already on site.
I favor the route shown on the attached map as from the RPV Conceptual Trails Plan (CTP)because it makes a
much more gradual climb up to Friendship Park.Because of the two very local earthquakes we just had,
someone just suggested to me that the connection should be designed as least a TYPE 3 because if some
disaster obstructs the intersection at 25 th and Western,emergency vehicles could get to and from the southeast
comer of RPV without putting the whole burden onto PV Drive East and the switchbacks.
According to Ron Dragoo,this trail was not included with the Storm Drain Project design due to a lack of
funds.And,this Council approved the Preserve Trails Plan with this trail as somewhere,someday.Somebody
needs to remember that trails and canyon crossing infrastructure are not just for recreation.
Put that in your STUDY SESSION.

Re:Public Hearing for Trump eee
I am opposed to allowing removal of the COA
requiring that Trump must obtain review and approval from the
Coastal Commission before installation of its desired hedge.
The history of Trump's attempts to thwart provisions protecting the
views and rights of Palos Verdes residents is an established fact,
and this is certainly not an exception.The Coastal Commission
review is a last-ditch safeguard to protect the residents of Rancho
Palos Verdes who elected you and to whom your first obligation
rests.
I ~rge you to reject Trump's latest request and instead vigorously
enforce the provisions of the existing Rancho Palos Verdes
agreements with Trump.

Revision eee
It is our understanding that Trump has again made requests which,if granted,would impair views.While it has become
exhausting to send emaiistotheCouncilaskingthatourviews be preserved (this should not be neccesary,as I believe
there are statues in place which protect views),we are once again asking that Trumps'request be denied so as to
protect those views.
We live in Seaview and have already had our (not very well)"protected"views impaired over the years by various Trump
infringements.Please do not allow this latest request to be approved.

Dear Council and City Staff,
I am writing to you with the disadvantage of not being at my home and having very short computer access,but I want to
state my feelings about matters to be considered by you in the near future (before I am home).
I've just done some quick research which confirmed my suspicions that some very important things happened about 40
years ago with respect to our wonderful city and the State of California.
Proposition 20 ...creating the California Coastal Commission ...was passed by the voters of California in 1972 -as a
native Californian,I proudly voted for it!
The city of Rancho Palos Verdes was created in January of 1973.
Both the above occurances were specifically to protect California ...the CCC to protect the access and enjoyment of our
special coastline for all to enjoy.And RPV to protect our wonderful coast from over-building and thus allow all (not just
RPV residents)to enjoy that very special coast.
It is not time to throwaway all that so many have worked so hard to procure for everyone.
The Coastal Commission MUST continue to examine and approve any thing that happens along the coast
And Rancho Palos Verdes MUST protect its city and citizens from any loss of use or view of its coastal access
and views.
Thank you in advance for protecting the interests of our City AND our State!

RE:FYI -Trump request CCC re:Coastal Commission approval
I think you are doing a great service to our neighborhood by protecting our views from the highways and other critical
locations on the peninsula.I do not agree with you on this issue.The hedge has been approved by the RPV city staff
and they have incorporated height restrictions into the conditional use permit.This is now a part of the landscaping
plan for the entire driving range.It seems reasonable that if the city is satisfied with the height of the hedge to screen
the area,the hedge should not be treated any different than the entire driving range.It should be allowed to be
incorporated into the current operation of the temporary driving range while the Coastal Commission reviews the
application.
With respect to contract changes,change orders happen.From my perspective and many of my neighbors that look
onto the driving range,we much prefer the beautiful driving range to another housing development.

Re:Public Hearing for Trump CCC
I am opposed to allowing removal of the CGA requiring that the applicant shall obtain approval of the Coastal
Commission before installation of the desired hedge.The applicant has known from the beginning that the
change from residential use to a Driving Range would require Coastal Commission approval.The entire
Driving Range has yet to be approved by the Coastal Commission.The Landscaping Plan for the Driving
1
Range has not been approved by the Coastal Commission.
The Coastal Commission needs to review and decide on the issue of the New Zealand hedge on the Driving
Range,which is higher than the agreed to southerly berm in the original agreement.It is a matter of long term
contract compliance.
Others in the Coastal Zone are not exempt from CA Coastal Commission review.Neither should this developer
be exempt.
No hedge of any kind should be installed there as it would impair the views from the public trail and from the
public road.(and from neighboring residences).
Thank you.

City Grants
Just a quick note to thank you for your reconsideration of funding nonprofits serving the residents of Rancho Palos
Verdes.
I can assure you that the 50 or so low-income residents of RPV that your funding allows us to serve are equally
grateful.(As you may know,we provide low-and no-cost medical care to families,individuals and children who either
have insufficient or no health insurance.Aside from the Harbor-UCLA Emergency Room,these folks do not have a lot of
local options.)
I know that Rancho Palos Verdes-like all California cities-is wrestling with dwindling allocations from the state and
federal governments,and you have to make difficult financial decisions that have local impact.And I realize that the
city's nonprofit funding program may well be phased out.However,we deeply appreciate your past support and hope
that we will be able to obtain support at least for this upcoming two-year cycle.
That money does make a difference in the lives of the people to whom we provide care.
Thank you again.
