Hermosa Beach, Ca
Dear Steve,
RECEIVED
FEB 1 7 1998
CITY MANAGER'S OFFICE
As you recommended in a telephone conversation today, I am expressing my concern with
the City Council decision made January 10,1995 to abrogate the sidewalk requirement
sepecified in City Municipal Code Chapter 12.08 Street,Sidewalk and Gutter Construction
for 25th Street between Valley and Park. .
Although I understand the desire of Hermosa Valley residents to keep a more "rustic" look
in this area, 25th Street particularly, has a unique set of problems that do not warrant this
exception:
1. It is more heavily traveled...because it is a through street, and because it is the
first and most direct access road to the sand section (beach side of hill) from Valley Drive.
2. Sea Sprites Private School is directly accessible from 25th , not from Gould or
ather altemate steets.
3. Because of the downhill/uphill inclines, cars tend to speed.
4. Parking on both sides of the street limitis two way traffic.
5. This is a family neighborhood, and I am concerned that there are no sidewalks
for children to use.
New construction is planned for 531 25th Street. No sidewalks have been included in this
plan. This is not in the best interests of the community.

TAXICAB PERMIT FEES
This memo is to clarify Resolution 98-5904.
Recommendation:
It is recommended the City Council:
1. Approve that the Annual Permit Fee of $321.00 shall be collected per
each taxicab or auto for hire.
2. Amend Resolution to insert the word vehicle.
Analysis:
The permit fee of $321.00 collected per taxicab or auto for hire best meets the
City's ability to recoup the costs reasonably borne in administering the revised
Taxicab Ordinance. This per taxicab fee amount would best insure that the pro-
gram pay for itself and remain revenue neutral. Staff projects the number of
taxicabs or autos for hire will be between forty or fifty. This is based on the
number of taxicabs experienced on a busy weekend in our town. Once the
Taxicab Ordinance is adopted and enforced, a mean average of taxicabs will
establish themselves through supply and demand.

Regular Meeting of
March 10, 1998
SOUTH BAY FREE CLINIC LEASE RENEWAL
FOR ROOM 7 & 11 IN THE COMMUNITY CENTER
i
Recommendation
The Parks, Recreation and Community Resources Commission and staff recommend that
Council approve the attached lease agreement between the City and the South Bay Free Clinic
for the use of Rooms 7 & 11 in the Community Center.
Background
The South Bay Free Clinic was awarded a grant in 1992 that enables them to lease office space.
They moved their administrative offices of the HIV Program from their main facility in
Manhattan Beach to the Community Center. Room 7 houses the "hot line" and the staff of the
program. They conduct meetings, training and occasionally support groups but do not conduct
any medical services.
On February 28, 1995 the South Bay Free Clinic requested to lease Room 11 in the Hermosa
Beach Community Center for counseling sessions about their HIV program.
Analysis
Revenue generated from the lease of Rooms 7 and 11 (1,500 sq. ft.) is $1,395 per month ($.93
sq. ft.). The attached lease conforms to the present rental policy (approved by Council on March
11, 1997).

Parks and Recreation Commission
City of Hermosa Beach, CA February 18,1998 hearing
Dear Commissioners: On behalf of the South Bay Coastal Defense Alliance, and myself, I / we oppose
approving the Association of Volleyball Professionals event and other events proposed today without
considering their negative environmental impact and mitigating them to a level of insignificance.
The notice for this hearing was legally inadequate. Insufficient detail has been provided to notify the
general public of numerous impacts from these events and that an event is being considered that would
involve paid admission on the public beach. The paid admission aspect would violate the deed
restrictions.on the beach by privatizing a heretofore pubic "commons."
The proposed events lack a parking mitigation plan and are not exempt from the requirements of the
California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), yet no environmental review has been undertaken. The
negative environmental impacts including cumulative negative impacts have not been mitigated to an
insignificant level as is required under CEQA. Those impacts include, but are not limited to excessive
noise, pollution and noxious fumes, and impacts on parking, and visual blight from giant advertising laden
stands that reach appx. 35 feet above grade, and other events planned for the same general area during
the same period.
CEQA states that the criteria to determine if a development has a substantial environmental impact(s) shall
require a finding that a project may have a "significant effect on the environment" if any of the following
conditions exist: (a) A proposed project has the potential to degrade the quality of the environment, curtail
the range of the environment, or to achieve short-term, to the disadvantage of long-term, environmental
goals. (b) The possible effects of a project are individually limited but cumulatively considerable. As used
in this subdivision, "cumulatively considerable" means that the incremental effects of an individual project
are considerable when viewed in connection with the effects of past projects, the effects of other current
projects, and the effects of probable future projects. (c) The environmental effects of a project will cause
substantial adverse effects on human beings, either directly or indirectly.
Do not forget the more than 4,700 people who signed a petition opposing the AVP event charging
admission on the public beach and on the grounds that its impact on parking is unbearable. The city of
Hermosa Beach is in deficit parking, and is not capable of providing parking for the estimated 84% of the
expected crowd who must drive in to the event (AVP statistics provided by the AVP at the October '96
Manhattan Beach Parks and Recreation hearings for the 1997 Manhattan Beach event). That works out to
appx. 2,100 cars that require parking just for the AVP event at 2 per car with 5,000 people as proposed,
that being equal to the 84% figure. The number of people who would require being bussed in to the site
for the event would need to be transported within a three hour time frame (9 am to noon). That will require
one 52 seat bus every 5 minutes.
The excessive number and size of events have contributed to a diminished quality of life for the residents
of Hermosa Beach from the misuse and over use of our coast. The heavy impact on parking.leads directly
5Gzatpti-A-(
r
to the elimination of public access opportunities to and along the coast and is inconsistent with sound
long range resource conservation principals and constitutionally protected rights of quiet and peaceful
enjoyment of private property owners. Indeed parking = access. Those beachgoers who would like to
visit the coast are prevented access opportunities by these events. Individually and cumulatively these
events have become a detriment to the residents and the state as a whole.
In Hermosa Beach during 1996 there were at least 20 events of which 13 were held May - September, with
construction they took away use of our beach 72 of the 123 days. In the space of just a few years they
have contributed heavily to the deterioration of the natural balance and social well being of the people of
this city. During 1997 there were appx. the same number of events.
In Hermosa Aug. 23-25, '96 the AVP held their event with an expected attendance of over 8,000 where
the most recent parking survey showed that on this weekend there were only 93 public parking spaces
actually available. The AVP used 201 prime parking spaces exclusively & records from Mira Costa parking
lot show that less than 200 people a day actually used the shuttle parking, and the AVP didn't even bother
to spend the $300- to use the Hermosa Street banner to advertise shuttle parking.
What is the Tong -term future of our beach ? Charging access to the beach for any reason is just plain
wrong. If you allow a corporation like the AVP to charge access to our public beach you set a precedent.
This is just the 1st case, & you send a signal to all the corporations that our golden treasures are for sale !
Management policy should not treat our beach as a cash cow to be exploited for the profit of a few at the
expense of the rest of the hard-working tax -paying public.
RECOMMENDATION:
The South Bay Coastal Defense Alliance, and myself, recommend rejection of the request as submitted,
for the reasons discussed, on the grounds that the commercial development(s), as conditioned, will not
be in conformity with the provisions of the Deed restrictions to the public beach in Hermosa Beach, and
Chapter 3 of the California Coastal Act of 1976, and is not in conformance with the public access and
public recreation policies of Chapter 3 of the Coastal Act, and will have significant adverse impacts on the
environment within the meaning of the California Environmental Quality Act, and there are feasible
alternatives or feasible mitigation measures available which would substantially lessen any significant
adverse impacts which approval of the commercial development(s) would have on the environment.
I revise and extend my remarks to include all previous communications on this issue that I have provided to
the city of Hermosa Beach.
Thank you for your careful consideration of this important coastal issue.

Parks and Recreation Commission
City of Hermosa Beach, CA February 18, 1998
Re: AVP hearing of February 18, 1998 to consider approving event for this July
Dear Commissioners: FYI, this is a copy of the letter I sent to the Mary Rooney last
year (97) shortly after the July AVP event in Hermosa Beach
Dear Ms Rooney: As you know, there were a large number of problems and
violations from the AVP event held in Hermosa Beach this past June. Those problems
included the AVP's lack of a permit prior to construction of the giant grandstands from
the Coastal Commission as is required. Also of serious concern is the AVP
announcement over the loud speakers at the event in June, to approach the people
who were protesting the events commercialization of our public beach and to "throw
down their signs and shove them." Immediately after this announcement, some fans
acting on the AVP's direction, came over to the protesters and threatened them with
violence.
Also, there were NO signs directing traffic to parking at TRW or to Mira Costa, except
for the marquee, which only mentioned Mira Costa (this resulted in traffic gridlock
around my residential neighborhood and elsewhere in the city). As you also probably
know, the AVP provided only one (1) 52 seat bus to transport the people to the event
and the beach. With 1,100 parking spaces, which represents appx. 2,200 people, one
52 seat bus would take over 21 hours to transport those people one-way when the
event ends and lets out the entire stadium. Obviously, no persons in their right mind
would ever park at the satellite parking areas again once they have experienced the
AVP's NON -ATTEMPT to park those people.
Photographs from the Mira Costa site at about noon Sat. & Sun. reveal that no more
than 25 vehicles were parked there at any one time, and appx. 12 of those vehicles
were parked there over night Sat. No vehicles were ever parked at TRW as observed
on a regular basis. At the AVP's "Mini Mall on the beach", there were a number of
vehicles on the beach (AVP sponsor vehicles being pitched for sale), a violation of the
deed restrictions on transfer of the beach to the city. Of course, the obvious violation of
the city's ordinance against advertising on the beach has been violated and that
violation has been ignored by the city. Please look into these violations and respond
in writing. Thank you.
Sincerely, Donley% Ikenstien.

The City is in receipt of your letter dated July 15, 1997 (received July 17, 1997) regarding
the AVP Tournament and has reviewed your complaints and allegations. The list that
follows responds to the items written in your letter:
1. The City of Hermosa Beach is not authorized to enforce Coastal Commission permit
requirements.
2. The City is not aware of any Deed restrictions that were violated with the June, 1997
AVP event.
3. The City has no knowledge of the statement from an AVP announcer that you allege.
4. The City requires additional Police staffing at AVP events. Officers are deployed for
large scale special events to help ensure the safety at the event and surrounding areas.
Thank you.

SUBJECT: FINAL MAP #24778 (C.U.P. CON NOS. 97-7 & 97-8 AND PDP NOS.
97-6 & 97-7)
LOCATION: 609 & 613 30TH STREET
APPLICANT(S): MICHAEL MULLIGAN
REQUEST: TO ADOPT A RESOLUTION APPROVING FINAL MAP FOR TWO 2 -
UNIT CONDOMINIUM PROJECTS
Recommendation
Staff recommends approval of Final Parcel Map #24778 which is consistent with the approved
Vesting Tentative Parcel Map, and recommends the City Clerk be directed to endorse the
certificate for said map.
Background
The Planning Commission approved Conditional Use Permits for two two -unit condominium
projects and Vesting Tentative Parcel Map #24778 at their May 20, 1997 meeting. The projects
are currently under construction.
Process
Once a map has been tentatively approved by the Planning Commission, copies of the tentatively
approved map must be submitted to the L.A. County Engineer, who is contracted by the City, to
review the map for its technical correctness (pursuant to Section 66442(a)(4)of the Subdivision
Map Act).
An applicant has two years from the date of tentative map approval to submit for final map
approval. Typically applicants have not submitted for final map approval until projects are near
completion and ready to be sold.
Final maps must be submitted to the City Council and must be approved by the City Council, "...if
it conforms to all the requirements of [Subdivision Map Act] and any local subdivision ordinance
applicable at the time of approval or conditional approval of the tentative map and any rulings
made thereunder...." pursuant to Section 66458(a) of the Subdivision Map Act.

PUBLIC HEARING ON PLACEMENT OF BENCHES ON
WALKSTREETS AT THE STRAND
Recommendation:
That the City Council receive any input on the placement of bench on walkstreets at the
Strand and direct staff as deemed appropriate.
Background:
The City Council received a report at its meeting of December 9, 1997 and directed staff
to set a public hearing so that the City Council could receive any additional input.
The idea proposed was to place the benches between Beach Drive and the Strand. The
actual placement might vary from side to side or distance from the Strand. It does appear
that benches could be placed at most of the walkstreets at the Strand.
As you know, there is not a specific appropriation for this and, if the City Council wished
to proceed with the program, it would have to be added to the budget. If the program is
approved, it would be possible to accept donations for placement of the benches similar
to what has been done in our parks.
It appears that there are 21 potential bench locations on the walkstreets. The following
walkstreets would not be recommended due to lack of space due to Bike Path access:
Herondo Avenue, 24th Street and 35th Street.
The bench used in the parks costs around $1500. This would result in a $31,500
expenditure if the same bench were used and placed at all potential locations.
Considering the timing, it would be best to include this in the 1998-99 Budget and Work
Program if the Council wishes to proceed.

Community Center Skate Track - Award of Design Contract
Recommendation:
It is recommended that City Council:
1. Award the Design Contract for the Community Center Skate Track Project (CIP
97-525) to Lawrence Moss and Associates.
2. Transfer $241,260 from Park and Beach Improvements (CIP 95-506) to the
Community Skate Track Project (CIP 97-525)
3. Allocate $18,805 ($17,095 + 10% contingencies) for design fees from the
approved funding for this project.
Background:
The City Council at it's regular meeting on November 13, 1997, approved the preliminary
conceptual plan for the skate track. This plan recommended relocating the existing
Community Center tennis courts #5 and 6 to an undeveloped portion of the Community
Center parcel adjacent to court #2. The skate track and additional parking would then be
constructed in the vacated area. This location best met staff's and City Council's varied
requirements with regards to skate track size, costs, parking issues, noise impacts, safety
and other issues. The estimated project cost of $241,260 presented to City Council at that
meeting included design fees for both the skate track and tennis court improvements.
Analysis:
Per City Council's direction, Public Works prepared a Request for Proposals for design of
the track facility and on January 16, 1998 sent out Notices to Consultants.
Communication with a number of municipalities which had recently constructed skate
tracks generated important information regarding their design. Staff was particularly
surprised that many of the tracks were designed by only a few different design firms.
Based upon these references a list of eight firms with experience in this specialized field
were sent direct invitation for proposals. The design consultant marketing firm of
Hawkins-Marktell, who have access to hundreds of landscape/park designers, were also
sent copies of the RFP.
On February 10, 1998 the Department of Public Works received three responses to the
Request for Proposals:
5
• •
Proposal Number Firm Design Fee
1. Lawrence Moss and Associates $17,095
2. Wormhoudt Landscape Architecture $12,320*
3. Purkiss✓Rose - RSI $50,870
* Estimated Fee based upon a $77,000 cost of construction.
All three designers have had previous experience in design of skate tracks and have shown
the expertise necessary in the production of plans for this type of facility. The Purkiss-
Rose design fee was considered to be out of line with the amount of work requested and
was rejected for these reasons.
On March 4, 1998 members of the Skateboard Track Review Committee conducted
interviews of the other two firms. Both firms showed their commitment to design of the
project. There is no question that either would represent a fine choice for the pluming of
these facilities.
The two differences in each firms design theory became apparent during the presentations.
Lawrence Moss followed the directions as set out in the City's RFP for the project. This
called for three meetings with local youth involved in the sport. The first meeting would
be a fact-finding gathering and would rely on the participation of a skateboard professional
to encourage participation by the local skaters. The second meeting would implement full-
size wood models of a couple of the design features deemed to be most popular at the first
meeting. These models would be moved about within the site and actually run to
determine proper placement. Again a skateboard professional would be present to run the
course himself to insure ultimate location of the elements. The final meeting would present
the final design to the local participants where final adjustments would be made.
Wormhoudt preferred to keep to it's established method of designing skate tracks. Rather
than full-size models it's proposal relied upon scale clay models. The Wormhoudt
proposal failed to provide for a professional skater on it's design team as required by the
City's Request for Proposal. The Wormhoudt proposal also fails to provide for civil
engineering on the project. Wormhoudt would rely on Hermosa Beach Public Works staff
to provide topological survey and civil engineering backup for this project. For these
design considerations as well as Wormhoudt's office being somewhat distant from the site
it was felt that a more thoughtful and considerate design would be available from
Lawrence Moss's firm.
As Lawrence Moss has presented a proposal which meets the City's requirements, for a
reasonable price, staff recommends that it be awarded the design contract for the
Community Center Skate Track Project.

Honorable Mayor and Members of
the Hermosa Beach City Council
Regular Meeting of
March 10, 1998
RETAIL ENCROACHMENT STANDARDS AND SPECIAL EVENT
APPROVALS ON PIER PLAZA
Recommendation:
1. That the City Council provide direction to staff concerning outdoor retail sales.
2. That staff be directed to develop a special promotional event process for Pier Plaza
merchants.
Background:
The City Council, at its meeting of September 23, 1997, directed staff to gather any
additional information concerning retail usage of public sidewalks, plazas, etc.. Staff has
researched five other cities with similar downtown areas and has found that none allow
outside retail displays on the public way on an ongoing basis. Special spaces have been
created in some areas, for example, Santa Monica has some carts and kiosk -type
structures in the right of way.
Virtually all of these cities allow sidewalk sale permits. As you know, our code presently
provides for sidewalk sales. In addition, many of the cities allow for merchants to display
merchandise during special events as we do.
It appears that the City Council has at least three options:
1. Do not provide for ongoing outside display or usage of the right-of-way by the
retail shops on the Pier Plaza except for approved special events and sidewalk sales
on a limited basis. No code change would be required for this option.
2. Allow for an ongoing program of display and usage of an area similar to what the
food businesses now have. This option would require a change in our rules and
amendment to our coastal approval.
3. Create a more limited "Porch Permit" for retail shops. This would allow each
permitted shop to display merchandise on each side of the entrance to the shop. It
is suggested that the area be limited to 5' x 5' on either side of the door. The retail
shop would pay an encroachment fee of 50¢ per square foot and provide
insurance. There are presently 12 retail shops on the Pier Plaza. If the City
Council is interested in this option, staff should be directed to meet with the retail
7
•
shops and work out any details and return to the City Council with a complete
program for final review and approval.
Special Promotion Event Approvals
The second issue concerns Special Promotion Events for the merchants on Pier Plaza. It
is proposed that special events be reviewed and approved by Community Resources.
These special promotional events would include Grand Openings or special business
events. The idea here would be to have a simple application to allow Pier Plaza businesses
to use a portion of the plaza for a promotional event related to their businesses. For
example, last summer Hennessey's had a luau on the plaza as part of the paddleboard
event. These promotional events would be located in the general area of the business. If
this is acceptable, staff should be directed to develop a policy and application and return at
a future meeting for your review and approval.

Honorable Mayor and Members of �� / v Regular Meeting of
the Hermosa Beach City Council March 10, 1998
REQUEST FOR RED BLINKING LIGHTS
AT PIER/VALLEY/ARDMORE INTERSECTIONS
Recommendation:
It is recommended that the City Council receive and file this report.
Background:
On February 24, Council directed staff to prepare a report outlining when red blinking lights will
be placed at the Pier/Valley/Ardmore intersection. In addition, Council directed staff to include
the costs for restriping to add a left turn lane into Hermosa Plaza from eastbound Pier Avenue.
Analysis:
A traffic engineering study of the intersection of Pier/Valley/Ardmore has been completed. The
study included:
• a review of traffic volumes
• an investigation of the physical conditions
• an investigation of existing traffic controls
• an analysis of reported accidents
• an observation of speeds
• an observation of traffic movements through the intersection
The study of the many factors affecting traffic behavior at this intersection indicates that the
intersection warrants signalization.
The capital cost of the signal installation is estimated to be more than $200,000. The annual
energy cost is estimated to be $720. Therefore, staff recommends that this signal installation be
programmed as a Capital Improvement Project. As an interim measure, to ensure the safe and
orderly movement of traffic through the intersection, staff recommends the installation of flashing
red beacons on the east and west approaches to the intersection. Please refer to Exhibit "A".
It will take staff approximately 10 to 12 weeks to develop the plans, specifications and estimates
to hire a contractor to install the flashing red beacon system.
Concerning the costs for restriping Pier Avenue to provide for left turns into Hermosa Plaza, it
will take staff approximately 6 to 8 weeks to conduct an investigation, evaluate the feasibility of
the request and report back to Council.

• •
Fiscal Impact:
Staff has estimated that cost for the installation of the flashing red beacon system and appurtenant
work to be between $6,000 to $8,000. However, staff is not requesting an appropriation now.
Staff will budget for this work in the FY 1998-99 budget year.
Should the restriping of Pier Avenue prove to be feasible, the work will be included in the traffic
safety division budget for FY 1998-99.
All costs were arrived at without the benefit of detailed plans and specifications, therefore, the
actual costs may be higher or lower.
Alternatives:
1. Approve staff's recommendation.
2. Appropriate $8,000 and direct staff to install the flashing beacons now.
3. Appropriate $200,000 and direct staff to install traffic signals at the intersections.
4. Take no action.
Attachment: Exhibit "A"

Re: Signalization Valley/Ardmore/Pier intersection - Blinking light and/or other
proposals in staff report.
Mayor and Councilmembers:
As a civil engineer and having personally driven vehicles through this intersection for
just under 40 years, I am opposed to signalization of any kind being placed at this
community location. It would be an attractive nuisance for more commuter traffic past
the school and through town. It would add nothing to safety and make it more
dangerous with cars speeding down Pier Avenue to get a green light, or in the other
direction to get a green light. Further there are far more pressing infrastructure priorities
which have not even been directed to staff for review. That staff was directed to expend
time on this matter at this time is a costly, and unfortunate action by the city council.
I would suggest that Hermosa's new Public Works Director personally drive each and
every street and alley within the city as soon as possible (if not already having been
done so by him) so as to personally familiarize himself with those streets having
defective and hazardous street pavement, and lack of proper and maintained painted
safety markings. Five years of virtually total city neglect added to prior years of poor
upkeep is going to run repair costs sky high if repair is not commenced soon. Compare
our streets to Manhattan's or Redondo's. Ours are a disgraceful disaster except in the
downtown 'showcase club and bar zone'.
Further I would suggest that immediately, streets, even if one block at a time, start being
repaired. A hundred mile trip is started with the first step! You must take a step to start
the process. I note that in the hill areas of east Hermosa Beach many streets are
fortunately still without asphalt overlays and should remain as such. However due to
lack of proper crack maintenance/sealing, potholes, sinking areas, and other
deteriorated areas now have to be sawcut removed and have sections of new concrete
installed. Cracks should be properly sealed. I have watched as 7th Place during the
9
OFFICE

INFORMATION
SUPPLEMENTAL to ItEM 8
last 7 years especially, was allowed by the city to deteriorate rapidly as rain water drains
into street depressions and goes directly into the substrate under the pavement rather
than into the storm drains. The worst possible condition leading to further rapid
deterioration and sinking of the pavement. I have spoken to the importance of crack
sealing numerous times to city officials, and three city managers, and at council
meetings over the years. It almost seems to me as though there were an agenda to
keep residential streets as run down as possible.
suggest that you direct the new Public Works Director to bring to you what HE as a
professional and HIS STAFF, not you or some other special interest individual(s),
considers to be the most serious and pressing infrastructure problems citywide, and that
they be prioritized and that action be taken in the order of priority henceforth. You have
used enough of the people's money to help a handful of special interests downtown
increase their personal net wealth. With money from the city treasury now evidently
being expended far more for public safety annually downtown, it is quite evident this is
the wrong place to spend additional amounts of the people's money.
With the entire downtown providing sales tax revenue amounting to only 2.8% of the
city's general fund revenue it is time to refocus on the highway businesses and most
importantly the residential properties and infrastructure, otherwise this town is going to
go bankrupt.
The reactive practices of directing staff to research whatever the current interest of the
day or friend of the council may be, is extremely wasteful and ineffective and
unprofessional. Cost benefit analysis is required.
A blinking light is not needed at Valley/Pier/Ardmore in the east/west direction. This
intersection is lit up like daylight in the middle of the night. The STOP signs are quite
clear. Drugged, drunk, incompetent or non -alert drivers, older or younger, will be
unaffected by a blinking light. I suggest, as does your staff, that the report given you for
this item -8 be received and filed as recommended on the agenda, and that focus be
placed on prioritizing and getting to work fast on fixing the streets of this town. They
won't get fixed until you start somewhere and everyone is sick of hearing the phony
promises from the Hermosa Beach City Council. We have the worst streets fronting
some of the most expensive real estate in the Los Angeles Area. We also have the
most decrepit looking section of Pacific Coast Highway this side of Long Beach.
Its time to put the focus on where the city's money comes from, the highway businesses,
and the residential property and resident taxpayers. It is not significantly coming from
the downtown, or the Chamber of Commerce stuff and it never will when compared to
the public safety budget expended down there. That is implicitly well documented.
Sincerely,
Howard Longacre

We are writing to renew a complaint telephoned to your
offices over two weeks ago, as well as reflect our disap-
pointment in the lack of response to date.
The complaint was communicated on behalf of one of our resi-
dents to four employees of the Federal Aviation Administra-
tion, including a complaint message recorder. The indication
was that some one would be in contact with us, but we have
heard from no one.
The basis of the complaint was the perception of increased
air traffic in the Hermosa Beach area. We would appreciate
knowing if this is occurring, the reasons and duration for
it, and any likelihood of reduction in air traffic in the
future.
We would sincerely appreciate your expeditious response to
this request.

involves the use covered by the CUP?
2. Why did the staffreport of 1998 omit the fact that there was a lease agreement between
the Newtons and the City which specifically entailed the covered spaoe previously used
for outside dinning? Furthermore„ wiry was there no mention of the space that was
covered by the Lease agreement?
3. Why did the stafffail to apprise the•Planning Comnnission of the easement which the City

There is a lease agreement that the City has with Jerry Newton for the enclosed north walkway.
As part of this lease, Mr. Newton was to pay a paltry $162.55 per month. .: Newton has failed
to pay rent far a period of several momtbs. Why has there been no noti • - • • i sent to Mr.

The Easement Agreement provided that the "Grantor [the
City] grants to Grantee [Mr. Wise] . . . a non-exclusive easement
for pedestrian ingress and egress over and across the Servient
Tenement; together with the right to construct and maintain
certain improvements on said property including air -rights, in
accordance with plans and specifications approved by Grantor."
The easement is clearly limited on its face to non-
exclusive pedestrian ingress and egress. You contend, however,
that the first clause of the above sentence only pertains to
ground -level access to the doorways into 49 and 53 Pier Avenue
off of the City -owned lot, and that the clause following the
semi -colon constitutes an unrestricted grant of air space.
Assuming arguendo that this interpretation of the first clause is
correct (an assumption I will make solely for the limited
purposes of this letter, and with which I do not agree), I do not
share your reading of the second clause.
As you know, the easement must be read in the context
of the intent of the parties. The second clause appears to have
allowed Mr_ Wise to build "certain" improvements in the air above
the City's lot in ,accordance with certain contemplated plans and
specifications_ The language says "certain," not "any." And,
indeed, Mr. Wise constructed pedestrian walkways providing access
to second story doorways and connecting his two buildings over
the City lot in accordance with those plans and specifications.
Your proposed enclosure of the northerly walkway in
1991 went beyond the scope of the plans and specifications
approved for the original bridge, and hence, beyond the limited
air space right conferred by the easement agreement. In
recognition of that additional burden on the City's property, you
and the City entered into a lease, the express purpose of which
was to "demise a portion of the Property i.e., certain air rights
(hereinafter the 'Demised Property') to allow the construction of
an enclosure of a•portion of the upstairs walkway at the northern
end of said walkway . "'in exchange for additional
compensation. The CUP approved in Resolution No_ 91-5442 was
expressly conditioned on execution of this lease.
Thus, even if your interpretation of the first clause
in the easement language is correct (that is, that the airspace
may be used exclusively and for purposes other than pedestrian
access)., I believe that the right conferred to air space in the
second clause is limited to the open air walkways contemplated by
the parties in 1975. Absent the lease, you have no right to the
enclosure, which served to intensify the use of the northerly
walkway and further burden the City's property. And, further, a
unilateral rescission of the lease would compel a revocation of

Accordingly, it is my conclusion that rent must be paid
to the City under and pursuant to the lease in. consideration of
the continued maintenance and enjoyment of the existing
improvements. Any expansion of the existing walkways, or any
other contemplated airspace improvements must be preceded by a
modification of the lease approved by the City Council,
notwithstanding the Planning Commission's recent approval of CUP
Amendment No. 98-1.
Finally, I was surprised to learn recently that you had
ceased paying rent last summer, presumably on the ground that I
had determined that you had no obligation to do so. However, no
formal written determination of this issue had ever been made or
communicated to you to warrant your taking that unilateral
action, and your failure to pay rent placed you in default under
the lease. I understand that you have delivered a check for the
back rent to Mr. Burrell, albeit with a reservation of rights, in
order to address that default.
I believe that the foregoing responds to the issues
raised in your correspondence and sets forth the City's position
in this matter.
