HERMOSA BEACH CITY COUNCIL AGENDA
WELCOME! By your presence in the City Council Chambers you are participating
in the process of representative government. Your government welcomes your
interest and hopes you will attend the City Council meetings often.
Meetings are televised live on Multivision Cable Channel 3 and replayed the
next day (Wednesday) at noon. Agendas for meetings are shown on Channel 3 the
weekend before the meetings.
Opportunities for Public Comments
Citizens may provide input to their elected Councilmembers in writing or oral-
ly. Letters on agenda matters should be sent or delivered to the City Clerk's

THE HERMOSA BEACH FORM OF GOVERNMENT
Hermosa Beach has the Council -Manager form of government, with a City Manager
appointed by and responsible to the City Council for carrying out Council
policy. The Mayor and Council decide what is to be done. The City Manager,
operating through the entire City staff, does it. This separation of policy
making and administration is considered the most economical and efficient form
of City government in the United States today.
GLOSSARY
The following explanations may help you to understand the terms found on most
agendas for meetings of the Hermosa Beach City Council.
Consent Items ... A compilation of all routine matters to be acted upon by one
vote; approval requires a majority affirmative vote. Any Councilmember may
remove an item from this listing, thereby causing that matter to be considered
under the category Consent Calendar items Removed For Separate Discussion.
Public Hearings ... Public Hearings are held on certain matters as required by
law or by direction of Council. The Hearings afford the public the opportuni-
ty to appear and formally express their views regarding the matter being
heard. Additionally, letters may be filed with the City Clerk, prior to the
Hearing.
Ordinances ... An ordinance is a law that regulates government revenues and/or
public conduct. All ordinances require two "readings". The first reading
introduces the ordinance into the records. At least 5 days later Council may
adopt, reject or hold over the ordinance to a subsequent meeting. Most or-
dinances take effect 30 days after the second reading. Emergency ordinances
are governed by different provisions and waive the time requirements.
Written Communications ... The public, members of advisory boards/commissions
or organizations may formally communicate to or make a request of Council by
letter; said letters should be filed with the City Clerk by Noon the Tuesday
preceding the Regular City.Council meeting and request they be placed on the
Council agenda.
Municipal Matters ... Non-public Hearing items predicted to warrant discussion
by the City Council are placed here.
Miscellaneous Items and Reports - City Manager ... The City Manager coordi-
nates departmental reports and brings items to the attention of, or for action
by the City Council.
Verbal reports may be given by the City Manager regarding items not on the
agenda, usually having arisen since the agenda was prepared on the preceding
Wednesday.
Miscellaneous Items and Reports - City Council ... Members of the City Council
may place items on the agenda for consideration by the full Council.
Other Matters - City Council ... These are matters that come to the attention
of a Council member after publication of the Agenda.

Members of the City Council
To whom it may concern:
This letter is in regards to the production company 91121arrofbactiona,kc, and their request for locations
in the Hermosa Beach area for the television show "Beverly Hills 90210".
As you may know, the story line in the television show recently portrayed members of the cast as
graduating from high school and moving on to College. We here at Occidental College in Los Angeles
are pleased to announce that 90210 Productions. Inc. will be using the Occidental College campus as their
primary location for filming the exterior collegiate scenes for the show.
During the last 6 months, Occidental College and 90210 Productions. Inc. have been engaged in
negotiating the contract for this arrangement. Throughout this serious and involved process, the
production staff of 90210 has exhibited nothing but professionalism and expertise at all levels.
As you can imagine, the decision on the College's behalf to accommodate the regular needs of a major
television crew which will be on campus an average of two days a week for an estimated three to four
years, was one which involved serious consideration in terms of campus priorities such as student life,
class schedules, major renovation and renewal of buildings, publicity to the College, and so on.
All of these issues and more were considered extensively in terms of both the potential positive and
negative effects on the College. The final decision to approve the offer from 90210 Productions. Inc.
was based primarily on the overwhelming assurances, both verbally and in writing, of the production
company's intent to recognize that the students, the campus facilities, and the scheduling needs of the
College are priority. The Administrators and Trustee members who were involved in the negotiating
process consistently felt that the production company was ready and willing to respect all of the campus
rules and regulations, and adhere to any requirements from the College in terms of additionalsecurity
on duty, limitations on parking areas, dates and times when the crew could be on campus, protection
of
College property and damage repair, and so on. All of the College's concerns were met with a
tremendous degree of compromise and flexibility.
We here at Occidental College arc looking forward to the presence of 90210 Productions, Inc. on campus
beginning later this summer. In addition, we are excited not only about the potential income which the
College will derive from this endeavor, especially during a time of tight budgets and lower student
enrollment, but also about the potential publicity the show will bring to the College.
If have < y questions regarding this reference, please feel free to contact me at (213) 259-2795.

MINUTES OF THE ADJOURNED REGULAR MEETING OF THE CITY COUNCIL of
the City of Hermosa Beach, California, held on Thursday, June 3,
1993 at the hour of 7:30 p.m.
PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE - Frederick R. Ferrin, City Manager
ROLL CALL:
Present: Benz, Edgerton, Essertier, Midstokke, Mayor Wiemans
Absent: None
1. CONTINUATION OF CONSIDERATION OF PRELIMINARY 1993-94 BUDGET
City Manager Ferrin noted that Council's review of the budget
at the May 20 workshop ended after page 158. Council then
continued its review of individual department budgets on an
exception basis, beginning with page 159.
In response to a question concerning the transfer of other
tax money (such as Utility User Tax) into the General Fund to
cover specific department functions, Finance Director
Copeland said the total amount being transferred is reflected
in the budget, but that it could be broken down and shown in
each department budget to better reflect what those dollars
are funding.
Staff was requested to report back on the following questions
related to the Fire Department: 1) the viability of using
sea water as an emergency water. source for fighting fires;
2) the status of progress with upgrade of the fire flow
system pertaining to the Hydrant Upgrade/Fire Protection
Fund; and 3) the terms of the contract with California Water
Service and the dollar amount spent by that agency in Hermosa
Beach to upgrade the fire flow system.
Staff was also requested to report back on the following
question related to Public Works: the reason or requirement
for having monthly Traffic Safety Committee meetings.
The meeting recessed at 8:50 p.m.
The meeting reconvened at 9:00 p.m.
2. CONSIDERATION OF PRELIMINARY FY 93-94 - FY 97-98 FIVE-YEAR
CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM
During discussion of CIP 89-142, staff was requested to
report back on the possibility of shifting sidewalk repairs
to the property owner to eliminate City liability.
Councilmember Midstokke questioned the inclusion of CIP
93-145 since it is unfunded and there is no plan for future
undergrounding, and of CIP 92-150 and CIP 92-152 since the
projects are complete and no money is funded for next year.
City Council Minutes 06-03-93
Page 8171
With regard to CIP 92-178 (Centerline Monuments), staff was
requested to report back on whether or not the work plan is
consistent with prior Council action, with more detail on a
description of the project and the work to be done by
in-house staff or outside contractors.
City Manager Ferrin said he would remove CIP 92-179 since no
money is budgeted for the next fiscal year.
With regard to CIP 92-301 (Misc. Storm Drain Improvements),
staff was requested to clarify the following issue: the
budget shows $40,000 in construction costs; however, the
project description indicates the work to be done is
identification and condition assessment of storm drains.
Staff was also requested to look into having the County tie
the storm drains into the sewer lines for drainage, and to
check with the cities of Redondo Beach and Manhattan Beach.
With regard to CIP 92-302 (NPDES Storm Drain Improvements),
staff was requested to report back on the breakdown of costs
for construction, etc., related to the work being done.
City Manager Ferrin then directed Council's attention back to
general budget considerations and reviewed the list of 38
various measures proposed for fund enhancement and cost
reduction, which were presented and recommended at the May 20
workshop. He said the citywide furlough between Christmas
and New Year, proposed as a 1.9 percent across-the-board
salary reduction to be spread out over the entire fiscal
year, affecting all employees except safety personnel and
anticipated to save about $54,000, was no longer recommended
or needed due to the unexpected salary savings that will
result from his resignation at the end of June, which would
offset that amount, and that the budget could be balanced
without it.
With regard to contracting out Community Services, he noted
that this morning he had received some suggestions from
Community Services officers for in-house cost savings, which
he has not yet had the opportunity to look through carefully,
but which included eliminating all of the supervisors in that
division and cutting back to five officers, backfilling with
part-time, temporary help, noting that some of the ideas
might present problems with the union. He said two
responsible bids had been received, and that one of the
firms, J.L. Services, has significant experience and is
currently providing the same sorts of services in West
Hollywood that the City is currently getting from its
in-house division. With the use of an overhead projector, he
presented a synopsis of the cost benefit analysis he prepared
with Director Copeland with the assistance of Assistant City
Manager Rooney, Personnel Director Blackwood and Acting
Police Chief Straser. He said the real costs (including
City Council Minutes 06-03-93 Page 8172
salaries, equipment, operations, insurance, etc.) needed to
support the in-house Community Services division_ total
$743,427 a year, which takes into account the need to buy new
vehicles at a cost of about $75,000, amortizing that amount
over a five-year period at $15,000 per year, and includes
$16,000 per year for workman's compensation (based on a
formula used to calculate what the City's liability should be
for an organization of that size), noting that the actual
cost over the last two fiscal years has averaged over
$111,000 for that organization. He said J.L. Services has
proposed to provide the same service for $677,466 for the
first year, with annual increases of less than $20,000 (on
which the firm has indicated they are negotiable), as well as
the possibility of a five-year contract. He said subtracting
the $31,200 which they would pay as rent for Base 3, reduces
their cost to a final comparison figure of $743,427 for
in-house versus $646,266 for privatization, showing a savings
of $97,000. He then reviewed the number of citations issued
annually since FY 86-87, which peaked at 92,000 in FY 87-88
and decreased to 62,000 in FY 91-92, and said J.L. Services
has estimated that in the normal course of business they
would write about 80,000 citations a year, which is at the
low end compared to the number of tickets written in-house up
to FY 90-91. He said since 66 percent of citations are paid,
and assuming an average value of a ticket to be $25.33, the
City would receive about $1.317 million revenue from
citations issued by J.L. Services, and that the potential
savings and additional revenue, net to the City, would be
about a half -million dollars.
In response to a Council suggestion that Community Services
employees, as a group, bid on the service, City Manager
Ferrin said he would go back to the employees and ask them
for a plan that he could then cost out.
City Manager Ferrin said another item that needed to be
discussed was the proposal for a partial diversion of Utility
User Tax monies from the Sewer Fund to the General Fund for
public works, fire protection and police services, which
would result in putting $600,000 instead of $800,000 into the
Sewer Fund.
Staff was requested to report back on the high cost of
$11,600 for data processing software support.
Coming forward to address Council were:
Gene Dreher - 1222 7th Place, said there is a need for good
management rather than contracting out Community
Services and that employees will do a good job if there
is a good management system in place; said each
department and every employee in the City should know
the criteria by which they are being measured; and,
Betty Martin - 257 27th Street, estimated an average of
400 to 500 citation dismissals—per month; said in the
City Council Minutes 06-03-93 Page 8173
early 1980s there were more employees writing tickets,
that staff has decreased from 12 to eight officers.
City Manager Ferrin requested more definitive guidance
tonight from Council or the scheduling of another workshop to
enable staff to present a balanced budget at the June 22
Council meeting. Council then made the following straw
votes:
A straw vote indicated an unwillingness by Council to divert
$200,000 of Utility User Tax funds into the General Fund
(Edgerton and Mayor Wiemans cast the only yes votes; Benz,
Essertier and Midstokke voted no).
A straw vote indicated Council's willingness to consider and
look into contracting out Community Services (Essertier,
Midstokke and Mayor Wiemans voted yes).
A straw vote indicated Council's interest in having a
citywide employee furlough between Christmas and New year
(Essertier, Midstokke and Mayor Wiemans voted yes).
A straw vote indicated an interest by Council to move forward
with the reorganization and combination of the Building
departments (Benz, Edgerton and Essertier voted yes).
Staff was requested to report back on the cost of having a
Police Chief and Fire Chief versus having a Public Safety
Director.
A straw vote indicated an unwillingness by Council to direct
that the City Manager fill the positions of Police Chief and
Fire Chief prior to his June 30 departure (Benz and Edgerton
cast the only yes votes; Essertier, Midstokke and Mayor
Wiemans voted no).
A third budget workshop was scheduled for Thursday, June 10,
1993, at 7:30 p.m.
CITIZEN COMMENTS

PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE - Viki Copeland, Finance Director
ROLL CALL:
Present: Benz, Essertier, Midstokke, Mayor Wiemans
Absent: Edgerton (arrived at 7:50 p.m.)
CONSIDERATION OF PRELIMINARY FISCAL YEAR 1993-1994 BUDGET
City Manager Ferrin made his presentation with the use of an
overhead projector and said the issues still on the table
included: 1) the privatization of Community Services; 2) the
contracting of street sweeping; 3) the employee Christmas
furlough, which would affect all non -emergency personnel except
for jailers and some Police clerical employees and was no longer
recommended; and 4) the diversion of $200,000 of Utility User
Tax money from the Sewer Fund to the General Fund. He said a
$321,600 savings was required to balance the budget. With regard
to the privatization of Community Services, he said an additional
$19,000 should be added to J.L. Services' bid ($15,700 for the
hearing officer and $3,300 for meter repair).
Personnel and Risk Management Director Blackwood responded to
Council questions concerning workman's compensation costs, and
said the City would still be liable for open claims but not for
new claims if Community Services was privatized.
Coming forward to address Council were:
Jack Robertson - J.L. Services, said the company would offer
jobs to every employee being displaced; said they go
through a sensitivity training program to be sure their
employees are aware of the needs of the City, as they
did in West Hollywood; clarified that the cost of meter
repair was included in their bid; said they would match
the number of enforcement officers on the streets with
what the City has had, with eight employees in the
winter and an additional five during the busier summer
months, with a shift supervisor with each crew on each
shift during the day and an administrative person in the
office plus a project manager, for a total complement of
17 or 18 people, which would be unaffected by illness or
vacation; said they are very aware of the sensitivity of
the community when an outside contractor comes in to
perform what was previously a government function; said
their bid includes a full complement of vehicles, but
that they would be willing to negotiate and reduce the
cost of the contract if Hermosa Beach wanted a certain
number of bicycles; said proposed hours of enforcement
were from 6:30 a.m. to 11 p.m., which mirrors the City's
schedule, but they were open to -negotiation if the City
wanted to change that schedule; said they would perform
City Council Minutes 06-10-93 Page 8188
parking enforcement, animal control and meter repair.
Linda Watkins - president of J.L. Services, gave background
of the company which she started in the late 70s after
working 15 years for several companies as a contract
employee; said cost comparisons done by the federal
government have shown savings of between 25 percent and
40 percent by contracting out services; said statistics
on privatization for municipal governments show a
savings of between 25 percent and 45 percent; said they
function as a team with the customer; said company won
the U.S. Senate Productivity Award last year, noting
that the top two of the eight criteria were employee
happiness and well being and customer satisfaction; said
her mission was to have an employee -oriented company
offering upward mobility so employees would stay and
grow with the company, believed that a happy employee is
a productive employee and that happy employees result in
happy customers; said their use of bicycles in West
Hollywood was a decision made by that city and that they
would be willing to negotiate the contract if Hermosa
Beach wanted the use of bicycles, which are very
effective in dense areas.
Police Sergeant John Kearen - currently heading up Community
Services, presented the employees' counter -proposal;
said contracting out affects ten City employees; said to
generate a savings, they proposed abolishing the field
coordinator position for a savings of $57,701 and the
abolishment or reduction of one officer, noting the
addition of 50 percent of a field/traffic sergeant due
to the need for management personnel (10 percent of
which would be charged off to crossing guard program
which was previously charged 20 percent of the
coordinator's salary), and additional reductions of
material purchases and office equipment, for a total
savings of $64,201, reducing the old cost of $743,427 to
a final cost of $679,226, leaving a $13,956 difference
on the cost side between in-house and privatization;
requested that Council give strong consideration to
quality of life issues unique to Hermosa Beach; did not
think community wants to return to being the "parking
ticket capital of the free world" when officers were
writing 80,000 to 90,000 citations a year; said today
there is more community involvement in the City's
government and a need for a working relationship between
the citizens served and the City departments; estimated
65,000 to 70,000 tickets would be representative of the
number of quality citations that should be written; said
comfortable with the projection of 5,600 citations per
month, which would produce revenue of $1,106,000; said
the employees request two years to demonstrate that past
problems have been eliminated, with a six-month review.
Bob Thomas - Parking Meter Maintenance Technician, presented
information directly to the Councilmembers containing
his most recent evaluation and two letters to the City,
which relate to his cost and present a detailed list of
City Council Minutes 06-10-93 Page 8189
all the services he performs, including extra duties of
which Council may be unaware; said parking meter revenue
is in excess of $700,000 per year; said revenue could be
affected by a change to the quality of service to the
meters, that current system allows for ticket dismissal
if meter is not functional; said while his salary has
gone up over the past two years, the cost to the City
for his services has gone down due to greater efficiency
in the work he performs.
Melvin Lee - Community Services Field Supervisor, said he was
one of the two employees affected by the proposed
downsizing -and was here representing fellow employees;
said the goal is for exceptional service and employees
were just asking for a two-year stay of execution with a
six-month review; said employees have a vested interest
in the City.and, besides doing their job, employees are
like extra eyes for the Police Department; said once
decision is made to contract out, there is no turning
back.
City Manager Ferrin presented an historical background on the
formation and use of the Utility User Tax funds for purposes of
clearing up any possible misconceptions, and then presented two
budget proposals, neither of which included diversion of those
funds. He said he also did not include the Christmas furlough in
either of the choices because it was unnecessary and represented
an inequity since it would not affect all employees. He pointed
out that $321,600 was the amount of savings needed to balance the
budget. Option A included the privatization of Community
Services with a $78,200 savings and increased revenue of
$390,000, a $25,800 savings due to the City Manager resignation,
a $138,000 reduction in State property tax withholding, and
retention of the street sweeping services for a total savings and
enhancement of $632,000. Option B included retention of
Community Services pursuant to the employee proposal for a
savings of $64,200 and increased revenue of $179,000, a $25,800
savings due to the City Manager resignation, a $138,000 reduction
in State property tax withholding, and the privatization of
street sweeping with a savings of $27,000 for a total savings and
enhancement of $434,000.
A motion proposed by Benz and seconded by Edgerton for a straw
vote on Plan B died after the second was withdrawn.
A straw vote on Council's interest in retaining Community
Services in-house showed Benz, Edgerton and Mayor Wiemans in
favor, and Midstokke abstaining.
A straw vote on Council's interest in an employee Christmas
furlough showed Essertier and Mayor Wiemans in favor, Edgerton
opposed, and Midstokke abstaining.
A straw vote on not including a Utility Tax Fund diversion showed
Benz and Essertier in favor, and Midstokke abstaining.
City Council Minutes 06-10-93 Page 8190
Noting soon-to-be Interim City Manager Rooney's desire to delay
the consolidation of the Planning and Building departments for
six months, City Manager Ferrin recommended waiting and doing it
in a more orderly fashion, and requested a straw vote on whether
it is Council's desire to implement the change now or to consider
the deferral of that consolidation for the requested six months.
A straw vote on the immediate consolidation of the Planning and
Building departments showed Benz, Edgerton and Essertier in
favor, Mayor Wiemans opposed, and Midstokke abstaining.
CITIZEN COMMENTS
Coming forward to address the Council at this time were:
Garrison Frost - owner of Coast Drug, said contracting out
Community Services would be a mistake due to the loss of
local control and the "cop on the beat" situation that
currently exists with parking enforcement; said the City
should maintain employees who are loyal to the
community;
Dallas Yost - Pacific Silk Screen owner, said the parking
issue was brought up at today's Chamber of Commerce
meeting and that they formed an ad hoc committee to look
into ways to raise money on parking without hurting the
customers; said there are a lot of empty parking spaces
lately and the lack of tickets probably correlates to
the decline in the sales tax revenue; suggested
downsizing and keeping the good employees and retaining
the current services; and,
Carrie Larkin - Hermosa Beach, said she has resided and been
an employee in the City for a number of years; said the
services performed by the City workers are invaluable
and the City should retain Community Services in-house.
ADJOURNMENT
The Adjourned Regular Meeting of the City Council of the City of

PUBLIC PARTICIPATION
Coming forward to address the Council at this time were:
John Hales - 624 Eighth Place, spoke regarding pro- -
posed name change for City Council Chamber,

that many people have made contributions to the
City and have been honored by a plaque or a
tree, but there have been no City buildings
named for them; suggested that if this was to
be Council policy, an ad hoc committee of long-
time residents should be formed to make
recommendations;

to speak on item 2(a), consent Ordinance; said
not all aspects had been considered regarding
the Alano Club on 11th Place;
Steve Filarsky - owner of 1210 Eleventh Street,
asked the City's help with a problem at 1216
Eleventh Street (1213 also a problem); said the

had been seen and the neighbors felt it was a
health hazard;

item 2(a) and present a petition to the

13(b); questioned if the present Council, in
City Council Minutes 06-22-93 Page 1
office for less than four years of the City's
87 year history, had the background to realize
that this proposed name change would be a slap
in the face to so many people who had served
and made contributions to the City in the
past; suggested that a committee of long-time
residents be appointed to suggest a policy to
the Council;
Edie Webber - 1201 Eleventh Street, concerned about
the problem on Eleventh Street; said the people
wishing to address the Council had been here
since 7:00 P.M.; concerned that the meeting
started 45 minutes late due to the lack of a
quorum;
Tanya Beaudet - Eleventh Street, said tenants of
the problem house on Eleventh Street had been
arrested for substance abuse, then they started
collecting trash; questioned why the City did
not enforce its Ordinance regarding trash; said
she had seen people unloading six bicycles from
a truck at 3:00 A.M., and on another occasion,
unloading a full truck load of luggage;
PaviaBotica - 1205 Eleventh Street, said the side
yards of the problem house on Eleventh Street
were full of luggage, it was impossible to go
between houses due to the stored trash, and now
there were two tents in the yard;
Candace Stidham - 1218 Eleventh Street, said people
in the problem house are very noisy and build
things in the middle of the night; also block
the driveways of neighbors;
June Williams - 2065 Manhattan Avenue, concerned
that neighbors from Eleventh Street have to
come to the City Council to try to get a
resolution to their problem;
Betty Yee - 1202 Eleventh Street, said the people
causing the problem on Eleventh Street are ten-
ants; the neighbors have tried contacting the
owners but have received no assistance from the
owners; and,
Missy Sheldon - 1800 The Strand, said in regard to
item 13(b) that it was inappropriate to name
the City Council Chamber after anyone; felt the
Council Chamber should be perceived by the
public as a neutral place where all sides of an
issue can be fairly heard, and not politically
named.

dress the Council on this item were:

Commerce, spoke against raising revenue by
writing more parking tickets and setting a quo-
ta; said every ticket given encouraged people
to take their business out of the City;
Garrison Frost - Coast Drug owner, concerned with
privatizing parking enforcement; said he had
called West Hollywood and found that it had
started as a new City with no staff in place,
needed something in a hurry, originally con-
tracted with the Sheriff's Department but too
many problems; said Hermosa has a staff in
place and would have better control if parking
enforcement were kept in-house;

businesses and will not increase sales tax
revenue;
Jay Smith - 1836 The Strand, said he- felt the
parking. tickets he had received in the past
three years had been justified, prior to that
he would receive at least one "harassment"
ticket a month, such as when taking groceries
out of a car;
Christopher Regan - 520 24th Place, in favor of
keeping parking enforcement in-house;
Burt Bussiere Hermosa Beach, said the City did

contracting; said residents want people in
parking enforcement familiar with the City; to
keep the Community spirit;
Steve Crecy - Parks and Recreation Commission, said

house enforcement a chance;

ment Contractor, said J.L. Services had submit-
ted a new bid, based on the number of employees

bid reduction, that would save the City
$100,000; said his company would hire the cur-
rent employees at their current salary and
benefits; said his company would not set a quo-
ta for parking tickets; and that 60% of the
company business was in California;

worked through the ranks to become project di-
rector in West Hollywood, said he worked very
closely with the City government and there are
no quotas;
Howard Longacre - 1221 Seventh Place, said he
agreed with Jim Lissner regarding CIP 93-181;
believes that two left turn lanes are a neces-
sity and that CalTrans should pay the cost;
Linda Watkins - President, J.L. Services, said her
company would back -fill employee positions for
a full work force on the streets; reminded the
Council that the City would not have worker's
compensation claims to pay, which had run over
$100,000 last year;
Janet Dreste - Community Services Officer, urged
the Parking Enforcement be kept in-house; said
if the employees worked for the City their al-
legiance would be to the City, as it is now,
but if they worked for an outside company their
allegiance would be to the company; said ticket
revenue was down because a ticket could not be
written on a empty space; said Parking Enforce-
ment must also fill in for crossing guards if
someone was out; and,
(male speaker) - Hermosa Beach resident, against
privatization of parking enforcement; feels
keeping Parking Enforcement in-house con-
tributes to a community spirit.

Honorable Mayor and Members of the Regular Meeting of
Hermosa Beach City Council July 13, 1993
SUBJECT: CHECKLIST TO CONFIRM COMPLIANCE WITH THE CONGESTION
MANAGEMENT PROGRAM (CMP)
LOCATION: CITYWIDE
INITIATED BY PLANNING STAFF
PURPOSE: ADOPTION OF A RESOLUTION FINDING THE CITY TO BE IN
COMPLIANCE WITH THE 1992 CONGESTION MANAGEMENT PROGRAM
AND APPROVING THE CMP CONFORMANCE CHECKLIST.
Recommendation:
Staff recommends approval of the attached resolution.
Background:
The 1992 Congestion Management Program (CMP) requires that by August 1, 1993, local
jurisdictions self -certify that they are in conformance with local CMP requirements.
Analysis:
The City has met the following requirements: (1) Adoption and implementation of a transportation
demand management ordinance by April 1, 1993. The City Council adopted this ordinance on
March 23, 1993. (2) Adoption and implementation of a land use program to analyze the impacts
of new development on the CMP system and the associated mitigation costs by April 1, 1993. The
City Council met this requirement by approving a resolution on February 9, 1993. (3) Conducting
annual traffic counts and calculating levels of service for selected arterial intersections by June 15,

PROPOSED INSTALLATION OF STOP CONTROLS
ON OZONE COURT AT 26TH STREET
Recommendation:
It is recommended that the City Council adopt Resolution No.
authorizing installation of STOP controls on Ozone Court at 26th
Street.
Background:
Attached is a letter from Mr. Jerry Shelburne describing the fact
that there is an inconsistency in our STOP sign signing.
Analysis:
In June 1993 the City Traffic Engineer field reviewed the traffic
conditions at this location and agrees there is a need for STOP
controls on Ozone Court. This is primarily due to the poor sight
distance for southbound vehicles exiting onto 26th Street.
Alternative Solutions:
1. Retain status quo.

Hermosa Beach, CA 90254
Dear Mr. Ruzak;
My name is Jerry Shelburne and I've resided at 2604 Ozone Ct.
in Hermosa Beach for over ten years.
In the years I've resided at this address we have continually
had problems with motorist driving at excessive speeds down
our alley not even stopping at the cross street. (26th St.)
The problem is if you travel northbound down Ozmne Ct. from
25th St. to 26th St. there is a stop sign, however, when one
travels from 27th St. to 26th St. NO STOP SIGN EXIST at 26th St.
We've had near misses with traffic, and I've even lost an
animal before my eyes. Even today, I had a major confrontation
with a speeding driver failing to stop or even look at the
cross street.
Something is truly wrong with this picture, A second stop sign
should have been placed at this intersection years ago.
My neighbors and myself would like some immediate action with
this matter.
Should you wish to contact me, I can be reached at 310-374-1169..H
or310-273-4886 W. I've enclosed a map illustrating this area
of concern.
Your prompt response will be greatly appreciated
Very truly yours,
iYL-' c'.P;c/L=

Honorable Mayor and Members of Regular Meeting of
the Hermosa Beach City Council July 13, 1993
RESOLUTION FOR THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE
PEDESTRIAN SIGNAL AT PROSPECT AVENUE
CIP 89-180
Recommendation:
It is recommended that City Council:
1. Approve and adopt Resolution No. , a resolution of the
City Council of the City of Hermosa Beach.
A. Approving the application for discretionary regional
funds for the construction of the pedestrian signal at
Prospect Avenue.
Background:
On June 22, 1993, the City Council adopted the FY 1993-94 budget,
including the Capital Improvement program.
The installation of the pedestrian signal at Prospect Avenue has
been identified in the 93-94 CIP Program (CIP 89-180).
The total construction cost of this project is estimated at
$15,000 and funded with the State Gas Tax Funds.
There is an opportunity to receive funds in an amount of $6,304
to fund a portion of the construction cost of a pedestrian signal
project through TDA, Article 3 discretionary funds.
Analysis:
This year, $3,642,899 of TDA Article 3 discretionary funds will
be available County -wide for bikeway and pedestrian projects of
regional significance. These regional funds will be allocated at
the discretion of the Commission for new facility construction,
major reconstruction, or for off-street bikeway maintenance.
Such discretionary funds allocated to new facilities must be
spent within two years of allocation, unless a one year extension
is granted by Metropolitan Transportation Authority.
Fiscal Impact:
None at this time, as no funds are being expended. This is an
application for funding.
- 1 -

Alternative:
An alternative to City Council is:
1. Do nothing; thereby, allowing possible available funds to
lapse to the County.

Mayor and Members Regular Meeting of
of the City Council JULY 13, 1993
RESOLUTION: PROPOSITION A
(LA COUNTY SAFE NEIGHBORHOOD PARK ACT OF 1992)
Recommendation
It is recommended by staff that Council adopt the attached resolution to be
included in the City's Prop A application packet to be submitted in order to
collect the one time per parcel allocation of $219,729 to be used for South
School Park construction.
Background
In November, 1992 LA County voters approved Proposition A which created
a benefit assessment district county wide to fund recreation projects with
regional significance. Written into this measure were specific projects
throughout the County that were approved by the Board of Supervisors to be
funded with the passage of the measure. Also written into the measure were
one time per parcel allocations for LA County cities which are to be used for
park acquisition and/or development projects selected by each city.
Analysis
In order to collect the funds for each of the projects, the City must submit an
application that includes support documentation and a resolution from the
City Council (a copy of the application packet and a sample agreement are on
file at the City Clerk's Office for review). Once received, the County will
draft a formal agreement that will be presented to City Council for review and
approval.
County staff has indicated that the Board of Supervisors is anxious to release
funds as soon as possible in order to stimulate the region's economy. Sub-
mitting this application as early as possible will assist the City in getting in
the front of the line for the earliest monies available.
pagel
Other alternatives available to Council include:
.allocate the funds to a different project(s)

REQUEST FOR 30 DAY EXTENSION OF TEMPORARY APPOINTMENT OF

Recommendation:
It is recommended that the City Council extend for thirty days (30) days the temporary
appointment of one Community Services Officer.

There are currently two vacant Community Services Officer positions which are being filled on
a temporary basis. One position is vacant because of a recent retirement; the other from a
disability leave. The department is interviewing to fill the positions.

individual to a permanent Civil Service position for more than six months without approval from
the City Council every thirty days.

RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends approval of the attached revised contract for
public noticing services from Ownership Listing Service.
Background
At the March 9, 1993 meeting, the City Council approved a 3 -month
contract for public noticing services.
The current noticing fees charged to applicants and the basis of
the fee are as follows:
Planning Commission - 1st Notice City Council - 2nd Notice
$218.00 Contractor's Charge
95.00 Legal Advertising
18.50 Staff Time
$331.50 Applicant's Fee

95.00 Legal Advertising
$214.75 Applicant's Fee
At the June 22, 1993 City Council meeting, the City Council
directed staff to renegotiate the contract based on the
contractor's requests.
Analysis
The contract has been revised to the satisfaction of the staff
and contractor.
The following changes have been made:
I. CONTRACTOR'S FEE
1. Less Than 400 Notices Mailed:
a.
b.
Original Mailing: $225
Re -Mailing: $104
�.A
- 1 -
i
2. More_Than 400 Notices Mailed:
a. Original Mailing:
$225 base rate for first 400 notifications
$0.33 for each additional notification
b. Re -Mailing:
$120 base rate for first 400 notifications
$0.33 for each additional notification
II. COST OF POSTAGE ADJUSTMENT
If during the term of the contract the cost of postage
increases, Contractor will be allowed to automatically
increase fee as in the following example.
Postage Increase of 2 cents -
Average notification count for mailings during the preceding
90 days, i.e., 12 mailings total 2,760 notifications = 230
average.
230 x 2 cents = $4.60
Base rate would be increased by $4.60; the additional
charges of 33 cents for project of 400 or more would be
increased by $0.02 (2 cents).
III. TIMELINESS OF PAYMENT
Contractor shall be paid within seven (7) working days after

Honorable Mayor and Members of Regular Meeting of
The Hermosa Beach City Council July 13, 1993
RESOLUTION OF INTENTION TO APPROVE AN AMENDMENT TO THE CONTRACT
BETWEEN THE BOARD OF ADMINISTRATION OF THE PUBLIC EMPLOYEES'
RETIREMENT SYSTEM AND THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE
CITY OF HERMOSA BEACH
Recommendation:
It is recommended that the City Council adopt the attached
resolution.
Background:
Pursuant to Article 44, Section B of the current Memorandum of
Understanding (MOU) between the City and the Hermosa Beach
Firefighters' Association, the City agreed to amend the contract
with the Public Employees' Retirement System (PERS) to include
Section 20930.3 - Military Service Credit as Public Service.
PERS procedure requires the Public Agency to adopt the attached
Resolution of Intention to initiate the contract amendment.
Analysis:
Section 20930.3 - Military Service Credit as Public Service
allows the employee (in this case fire members) to purchase up to
four (4) years of service credit for any continuous active
military service prior to employment. The employee must
contribute an amount equal to the contribution for current and
prior service that the employee and employer would have made with
respect to that period of service.
The employee's payment is calculated by PERS and may be paid in
one lump sum or by monthly payments not to exceed 96 months.
Any impact to the City's PERS rate will emerge in future
valuations and is dependent on the number of employees electing
this provision. According to PERS, it is not uncommon for the
cost to the employee to exceed $5,000 for each year of military
service.
Fiscal Impact:
For this amendment PERS does not adjust the City's contribution
rate. According to PERS, it is most likely that there is no
future impact to the employer rate since the employee is required
to remit to PERS an amount equal to the contribution for prior
service that the employee and employer would have made with
respect to the period of military service purchased. PERS has
further stated that approximately 4 years ago they did increase
- 1 -
`2 b
the employer contribution rate to provide this amendment but
stopped that practice when it was determined that this was not
actuarially necessary.

Service Credit as Public Service for sworn fire personnel.
PERS procedure requires the Public Agency to adopt a Resolution
of Intent and an Ordinance as attached to accomplish the contract
amendment. PERS allows that the Resolution of Intent may be
adopted the same day as the first reading of the Ordinance.
Since the adoption of the Ordinance cannot be earlier than twenty
(20) days after the adoption of the Resolution of Intent, this
Ordinance will be scheduled for final adoption at the meeting of
August 10, 1993.
Analysis:
Section 20930.3 - Military Service Credit as Public Service
allows the employee (in this case fire members) to purchase up to
four (4) years of service credit for any continuous active
military service prior to employment. The employee must
contribute an amount equal to the contribution for current and
prior service that the employee and employer would have made with
respect to that period of service.
The effective date of this contract amendment will be September
7, 1993 which is thirty-one (31) days from the scheduled
Ordinance adoption date of August 10, 1993.
The miscellaneous employees (non -sworn) have had this PERS
provision since 1980. On February 9, 1993 City Council approved
this provision for local police members.

Fiscal Impact:
For this amendment, there is no increase to the City's current
contribution rate. If the employee elects this benefit, that
employee is required to remit to PERS an amount equal to the
contribution for current and prior service that the employee and
employer would have made with respect to the period of military
service purchased. This payment may be made by the employee in
either a lump sum or monthly payments over a 96 month period.

3323 Strand
Hermosa Beach, CA 90266
TO: The Mayor and Members of the City Council of Hermosa Beach
RE: Film Permit, North Hermosa Strand
I am writing to ask the Council to vote NO regarding the proposed filming permit.
We are dismayed that the whole neighborhood was not contacted by anyone
concerning this issue. Even though the proposal asks for the right to film at one
house, filming would impact the whole neighborhood. Parking for 15 vehicles
(motor homes and large trucks with very noisy smoky generators to power their
electrical equipment) would disrupt already strained parking. Access to homes
on Shakespeare Alley is difficult enough without the ensuing crowds of a film crew
and onlookers that are a normal part of a Hollywood film shoot.
What is also quite disturbing is that the permit would allow crews to begin work at
7 a.m. which is one hour earlier than our code allows work on construction
projects.
We in the neighborhood appreciate the peaceful beauty of our City's lovely beach:
we enjoy sharing it with anyone that treats the area with the respect it deserves.
However, we North Hermosa Avenue residents request that the City deny this
permit application due the the fact that this film shoot would disrupt our
neighborhood and strain traffic and parking to unbearable and usafe limits.
Yours syycerely,
SUPPLEMENTAL

Hermosa Beach City Council
1315 Valley Drive
Hermosa Beach, California 90254
Dear Council Members:
I am writing this letter to present the other side of
the story regarding the proposed filming at my residence
located at 3500 The Strand.
When approached by Jean Henley of Beverly Hills 90210,
who indicated that she wanted to use our residence for
filming, I had some real concerns. I expressed to her some
of these concerns, some of which concerned impact on my
family, tenants, neighbors, and the community in general.
While I received favorable answers from Jean regarding
my concerns, I told her that I would have to get back with
her at a later date before any decision would be made.
I contacted my tenants, and found them to be very
excited about the possibility of our residence being used for
filming.
I then contacted our next door neighbors, Steve and
Jaime Suard of 3436 The Strand, Gordon Kristen of 3433 The
Strand, Joe Dente of 3435 The Strand. I told them about the
proposed filming. I told them of some of my experiences with
film crews, most of which were positive, although some were
not so positive. These neighbors, who would be most impacted
were all enthusiastic about the possibility of the filming.
It should be noted that Gordon is a member of the Screen
Actors Guild, whose livelihood is dependant upon the film
industry.
I then contacted a friend in the film industry. I asked
him about the reputation of Beverly Hills 90210 and Jean
Henley in the area of location filming. In a couple of days
he called me to say that the show had a good reputation with
location filming, and that Jean Henley was a very fair, hard
working, easy to get along with, caring person, whose main
concern was avoiding problems, as well as solving those that
did arise.
I then called a friend at the Torrance Police
Department, as much filming of the show had occurred on the
Torrance High School campus. He said that they had no
problems with the production company during the filming. He
also noted that school was in session during most of the
filming, and while there may have been some distractions, he
was not aware of any problems that were not solved.
Again, worribd about the impact to the community, I knew
that only one organization could provide security that what I
felt would be responsive to the needs and concerns of the
impacted residents. I told Jean Henley that any agreement to
film at my residence would require that Hermosa Beach Police
Officers be used to provide for or supplement any other
security.
I obtained various fee and security requirement
information from the City. I found that at least two Hermosa
Beach uniformed police officers would be required and paid
for by the film company. Also, if the Chief of Police
determined that more officers were needed, he could require
that the film company pay for as many Hermosa Beach Police
Officers that he feels will be necessary.
Having known Chief Strasser for over twenty years, I
know that he has never hesitated in protecting or serving the
community.
I look at this filming as being something that will be
positive for the community.
Jobs are being lost in Southern California, industry is
moving out, crime rates are going up, property values are
going down and cities are struggling to provide essential
services. And the fact is its happening right here in
Hermosa Beach.
Many residents of our community work in the film
industry. Should we ignore them?
City Fees alone could exceed $30,000. That is a good
start on providing for the needed firefighter that the Chief
says we need, and will be taxed for.
The community also benefits when film crew members
utilize the local stores and eating establishments, spending
money in the community.
I have. been told that this location will more than
likely be depicted as being "Hermosa Beach" in the T.V. show.
One of the highest rated television shows, showing the
nation our little community and its beautiful beach, will not
make our problems go away, but nor will it add to them.
All the merchants in town combined, could not afford to
buy a nation wide commerical promoting Hermosa Beach that
could compare with the free advertising that this popular
show could provide on a weekly basis.
As I previosly stated, I was concerned with the impact
that filming might have on the community.
However, what I did not anticipate was that a couple of
neighbors, without ever bothering to talk with me, began a
slanderous campaign against the film company, myself, and
most importantly, my family.
Rumors were spread that the bike path would be blocked,
residents garages would be blocked and access to their
homes limited.
But when we heard from a friend who was told by one
disgruntled neighbor that we were poor parents, who subject
our children to, wild parties, tenants of poor character,
gang members and more, I became upset.
The only wild party that comes to mind was my mothers
65th birthday party, with Ray Charles cranked up to 4 on the
stereo. Our tenants, one of which is an automobile company
executive, another a doctor were selected from many
applicants, because of their character. I have worked for the
same company for the last 23 years. Gang members are
unwelcome anywhere near my residence, and my calls to the
Hermosa Beach Police alerting them to illegal gang activity
in the neighborhood are well documented.
If you choose to stray from the established film permit
policy of the City of Hermosa Beach, may I suggest that you
do so after a properly noticed public hearing, which would
allow all interested residents and parties to express their
views as well as present the facts.
It would not surprize me if many who signed the anti -
filming petition, whould change their minds after such a
hearing.
Who knows, after watching this show, those unhappy
Strand residents may open their own drapes, see what a
beautiful place they live in, and realize just how lucky they
really are.
Sincerely,

issuance of any license or permit by the City which allows the
filming of "Beverly Hills 90210" in our residential area, and
urge the City Council to rescind the issuance of that permit in
order to prevent the undue disruption to our neighborhood which
would result from this commercial activity.
We also believe that the current City policy regarding
filming in Hermosa Beach is inadequate to protect Hermosa Beach
residents.

The attached letter to Mary Rooney sets forth the basis of
our strenuous opposition to the request of the producer of
"Beverly Hills 90210" for the necessary permits and licenses to
allow the filming of scenes in approximately 28 episodes of that
series over the next year at 3500 The Strand, commencing on or
about July 14, 1993. First, we believe that this proposed
activity will substantially and adversely affect the quality of
life in our neighborhood and that no license or permit should be
granted for that reason. Second, this proposed commercial
activity cannot be conducted in our neighborhood without
violating the applicable residential zoning ordinances which
clearly prohibit the conduct of business activity in a
residentially -zoned area. We feel very strongly about this issue
because of the extensive nature of the proposed activity, the
disruption that will unavoidably occur, and the impact of that
disruption, especially on several residents in the 3400 block who
are currently contending with serious health problems.
A"majority of the residents in our block signed a letter
(also attached) asking that no permit be issued for the proposed
filming in this block. Ms. Esslinger informed us that, after
reviewing the matter with Mary Rooney, the city staff still
intended to allow the filming to proceed at 3500 The Strand.
A third letter (also attached) by Stephen Suard, the Planning
Commissioner who also resides in our block, is still unanswered.
We are writing to request that this matter be put on your
agenda for your next meeting, scheduled for July 13, 1993. At
that meeting, we ask that you take the following action:
1. Instruct staff to inform the producer of Beverly Hills
90210 that no license or permit will be issued for the
production of that series at 3500 The Strand.
2. If the Council should conclude that more time is
necessary to consider this issue, instruct staff to
1
4b
delay any action on any application by the producer for
a license or permit so that filming does not commence
in the interim.

Ms. Mary Rooney, Acting City Manager
City of Hermosa Beach

Hermosa Beach, CA 90254
Dear Ms. Rooney,
I am writing with respect to the application of the producer
of the TV series "Beverly Hills 90210" for a license or permit to
film scenes of that show at 3500 The Strand in Hermosa Beach. I
understand that this producer is seeking permission to film scenes
for approximately 28 shows at this residential location on an
ongoing basis for at least the next year with the prospect of
further filming thereafter if, as is likely, this series continues
to be aired. I further understand that the proposed hours of
shooting are from 7:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. I strenuously oppose the
issuance of any such license or permit, as do most of my neighbors,
because of the substantial adverse effect this activity would have
on our neighborhood. We do not believe that the City should allow
this proposed commercial activity in this residential area.
Furthermore, we do not believe that such a license or permit could
be issued with respect to the proposed activity without violating
the applicable City Code and ordinances.
We know from past experience that filming in a residential
area is extremely disruptive to the neighborhood. Several years
ago, this same residence was used to film a very short scene in the
film "My Stepmother Is An Alien." The adverse impact of even that
one -day filming was remarkable. Among other things, the City
blocked off street parking on Hermosa Avenue from 35th Street to
Longfellow for the exclusive use of the production both on the day
of the actual shooting and several other times earlier. Heavy
trucks loaded with equipment arrived and started unloading before
6 a.m. Equipment and related cables were installed up and down our
block, behind the Strand houses in the alley and on Hermosa Avenue
as well as on the Strand and the beach. There was substantial
noise and commotion from power generators, equipment being moved
into position, and numerous crew members milling about and shouting
instructions. The noise and commotion continued throughout the day
and night and this activity naturally drew a crowd of spectators.
Despite assurances from the location manager that all of the
equipment would be removed and reloaded during normal business
1
hours to avoid unnecessary noise, when the shooting was completed
after 3 a.m. the crew immediately began the process of breaking
down and reloading all their equipment, resulting in even more
racket over the next four -to -five hours. In addition, the
production company damaged plants in the area and ripped out one of
the beach volleyball posts, which the residents wound up having to
replace.
Given this personal experience with respect to the production
of a five-minute movie scene on a one-time basis, we understandably
oppose the prospect of having our neighborhood used as a permanent
location for the filming of a TV series. We see no material
benefit from this filming to the City. Even if there were any
benefit to the City, it could not possibly outweigh the substantial
negative impact to the residents of our neighborhood resulting from
this unavoidably disruptive activity over an extremely extended
period of time. In addition, we unfortunately have several long-
time residents with serious health problems, including my spouse
who is undergoing surgery today, who simply do not need the stress
associated with the ongoing disturbance of the peace and
tranquility of our neighborhood which inevitably would result from
the proposed filming.
For the above reasons, there is no doubt that the shooting of
this series at 3500 The Strand will substantially and adversely
affect the quality of life in this residential neighborhood and
therefore should not be allowed. Furthermore, the conduct of these
extensive business activities in this residentially -zoned
neighborhood violates the City's zoning and nuisance ordinances.
There is no question that the proposed use of 3500 The Strand
as a permanent location for shooting this TV series over the next
year is prohibited by the City's residential zoning ordinances.
Those ordinances categorically preclude the use of residentially -
zoned property for commercialor business purposes except in very
limited circumstances which are not applicable here (e.g., use by
the occupant for a home occupation). Even the use of a residence
for a home occupation is stringently restricted by a number of
conditions based upon the City's commitment to "protect[ing] the
residential character of each neighborhood," and "otherwise
encourag[ing] a high quality environment for family life . . . ."
(City Code, Appendix A, Sec. 4.1.) For example, no medium or
heavy business machines may be used, no tools or equipment which
generate sound audible 20 feet from the property line may be used
between the hours of 6:00 p.m. and 9:00 a.m., no activity or
equipment making any loud noise off the premises is permitted at
any time, and no foot or vehicle traffic may be generated to or
from the premises except for traditional uses. (City Code,
Appendix A, Sec. 4.2 (6)(g),(h),(i) and (j)). Manifestly, even if
the occupants of 3500 The Strand were proposing to engage in this
activity themselves, they could not comply with these mandatory
requirements given the nature of the proposed activity. Since the
2
proposed business activity at 3500 The Strand is not allowed by the
City's residential zoning ordinances, the requested license or
permit should not be issued.' Moreover, it is clear that even if
any such license or permit were issued, the proposed activity could
still not be conducted at 3500 The Strand which of course is in a
residentially -zoned area. E.g., City Code, Sec. 17-6:
"The issuance of a license . . . shall not entitle the holder
. . . to carry on any business in any building or on any
premises designated in such license in the event such building
or premises are situated in a zone, or locality in which the
conduct of such business is in violation of any law."
(Emphasis added.)
For all of the above reasons, we urge the City not to issue to
the producer of "Beverly Hills 90210" any license or permit
authorizing the proposed filming of that series in our City.
Very truly yours,
t AAA
es A. Hamilton
P.S.
By a copy of this letter to the City Council, in the event
that the required licenses and permits are issued by the City in
the immediate future, we respectfully request the Council to treat
this letter as a notice of appeal from any such issuance (see, City
Code, Sec. 17-25) and to consider such appeal at their next meeting
scheduled for July 13, 1993 since we understand that filming is
proposed to commence as early as July 14.

TO: MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL 7/13/93
FROM: MARY ROONEY, ACTING CITY MANAGER
RE: FILM PERMIT —THE STRAND
Community Resources staff received a film permit application from Beverly Hills 90210
on July 8, 1993. They have requested one (1) day of filming- July 15, 1993. In
anticipation of this potential permit, some of the adjacent residents have expressed strong
objections to the activity and to the perceived potential overuse of this location as a
permanent site for series filming.
Staff recognizes that film details do not "tip -toe" in and out of town. There is a very real
impact on surrounding residents - some who enjoy the excitement of television filming and
others who do not like the interruption. Weighing these factors and balancing them
against the regional issues regarding runaway film production in the Los Angeles basin (it
is our most regionally intensive industry) has always been the challenge of film permit
processing.
In most cases (and we have made our mistakes), through the imposition of conditions and
requirements on the film companies, City staff has been able to minimize the impact on
neighborhoods and to be responsive to resident concerns both prior to approving a permit
and during the film activity (as problems arise).
In this particular case, it seems that there is a fear on the part of some of the residents that
the location may be used on a permanent basis for and extended period of time. It is
understandable that the prospect of daily filming would not be welcomed by a lot of
neighborhoods. Due the extreme sensitivity of this area, in addition to the standard
conditions for filming (adopted by City Council) staff has imposed the following additional
restrictions on the company:
July, 1993 - July 1994: Subject to staff approval, no more than two (2) consecutive
days of filming shall be approved in any calendar month. No more than 24 days of
filming shall be approved during the one year period. Approvals shall be made on a case
by case basis. Exceptions to these restrictions will be made only with signed approval
from residents in the impacted area. The impacted area shall be defined as:
The Strand and Hermosa Avenue from 34th to 35th Streets
and 35th Street from Strand to Manhattan Avenue.
Hours of film activity: Shall be from 7am - 8pm only (trucks may not arrive prior to
7am and must be gone by 9pm). Exception to this restriction will be made only with
signed approval from residents in the impacted area (and staff approval).
Parking: No more than 20 meters shall be reserved for filming days in the impacted area.
SUPPLEMENTAL 4 ti
INFORMATION
Security: Two (2) Hermosa Beach Police Officers (or as many as deemed necessary by
the Chief of Police) will be on duty during all hours of film activity.
Use of Strand: No film activity can take place in front of houses on the Strand without
signed approval from the affected resident(s).
It is noteworthy that there are several regional efforts underway to facilitate location
filming in what the California Film Office refers to as the 35 -mile filming radius. There are
even efforts underway to establish a South Bay Film Office designed to attract filming to
the South Bay. The emphasis in these efforts is to educate cities and residents about the
importance of curtailing "runaway film productions" in order to keep this important
industry in the Los Angeles Basin. The key issues for filmakers in this area has been the
difficulty they have with location filming (with restrictive permit policies). By Council
adopted polices, Hermosa Beach has a permit process that has been favorable for
prospective film companies.
Staff recognizes, however, the responsibility the City has in responding to legitimate
resident complaints. With the prospect of one (1) day of filming on July 15, staff and the
neighborhood will have an opportunity to test the activity over a short period of time. On
the basis of the cooperation from the film company with the restrictions imposed by the
City, staff can evaluate the potential future use of this location for Beverly Hills 90210.
If the Council majority has any inclination to rescind this permit, I would recommend that
you focus on revisions in your film policy (attached) as opposed to making decisions on a
case by case basis.
Estimated potential fiscal impact - 24 days of filming:
Permit/parking fees: $30,000
Police officer charges: $37,000

Dear Ms. Rooney,
RECEIVED
JUL 1 1993
CITY MGR. OFFICE
By my letter to you dated July 6, 1993 objecting to the
issuance of any business license or permit to "Beverly Hills
90210" allowing filming of scenes for that show at the north end
of Hermosa Beach, I stated my desire to appeal immediately from
any such issuance so that the appeal could be placed on the
agenda for the July 13, 1993 meeting of the City Council and
heard at that time. At the time I wrote that letter, no required
license or permit had been issued.
It is my understanding that the business license required by
Sections 17-2 and 17-19 of the City Code has now been issued for
that production. This is to formally state and reconfirm that,
as provided by Section 17-25 of the City Code, I appeal from the
issuance of that business license to Beverly Hills 90210. I
again request that such appeal be heard at the July 13, 1993
Council meeting since the filming at issue is to take place this
Thursday, July 15, 1993, and my right of appeal will obviously be
defeated if it is not heard until after July 15. In the
alternative, if the Council prefers not to conduct the public
hearing on my appeal until its next scheduled meeting, I request
that the Council stay the effectiveness of the license pending
such appeal, so that no filming be conducted as proposed until
this appeal can be heard.
If the required license has not yet been issued, I request
the Council to instruct staff not to issue that license allowing
the proposed filming on any date prior to the time that my appeal
from that issuance is heard and considered by the Council. The
producer should not be allowed to defeat the rights of the
citizens of this City to have this matter heard by the City
Council by the tactic of trying to sneak its application in at
the 12th hour.

City of Hermosa Beach
Members of the City Council
To whom it may concern:
This letter is in regards to the production company 90210 Productions. Inc. and their request for locations
in the Hermosa Beach area for the television show "Beverly Hills 90210".
As you may know, the story line in the television show recently portrayed members of the cast as
graduating from high school and moving on to College. We here at Occidental College in Los Angeles
are pleased to announce that 90210 Productions. Inc. will be using the Occidental College campus as their
primary location for filming the exterior collegiate scenes for the show.
During the last 6 months, Occidental College and 90210 Productions. Inc. have been engaged in
negotiating the contract for this arrangement. Throughout this serious and involved process, the
production staff of 90210 has exhibited nothing but professionalism and expertise at all levels.
As you can imagine, the decision on the College's behalf to accommodate the regular needs of a major
television crew which will be on campus an average of two days a week for an estimated three to four
years, was one which involved serious consideration in terms of campus priorities such as student life,
class schedules, major renovation and renewal of buildings, publicity to the College, and so on.
All of these issues and more were considered extensively in terms of both the potential positive and
negative effects on the College. The final decision to approve the offer from 90210 Productions. Inc.
was based primarily on the overwhelming assurances, both verbally and in writing, of the production
company's intent to recognize 'that the students, the campus facilities, and the scheduling needs of the
College are priority. The Administrators and Trustee members who were involved in the negotiating
process consistently felt that the production company was ready and willing to respect all of the campus
rules and regulations, and adhere to any requirements from the College in terms of additional security
on duty, limitations on parking areas, dates and times when the crew could be on campus, protection of
College property and damage repair, and so on. All of the College's concerns were met with a
tremendous degree of compromise and flexibility.
We here at Occidental College arc looking forward to the presence of 90210 Productions.Inc. on campus
beginning later this summer. In addition, we are excited not only about the potential income which the
College will derive from this endeavor. especially during a time of tight budgets and lower student
enrollment, but also about the potential publicity the show will bring to the College.

Re: Legal Basis for Rejection of Conditional Use Permit;_
Requirement for a Subsequent EIR Prior to Consideration of
the Revised Project; and Inadequacy of 1990 EIR on Oil
Drilling Project
Honorable Councilmembers:
On behalf of the Hermosa Beach Stop Oil Coalition, we urge
the Council to reject the proposed conditional use permit for
several reasons. First, the proposal for a 1.6 acre oil drilling
project on the City Maintenance Yard violates ordinance No. 84-
758, which prohibits drilling from a site exceeding one acre.
Second, the liability for clean-up of toxic substances found at
the site cannot be legally limited by the proposed provision for
cancellation of the lease. This, in conjunction with financial
instability of one of the partners in the proposed development,
and the other economic flaws in the analysis of income
potentially accruing to the City, make approval of the project
fiscally imprudent. Finally, if the Council wishes to go.forward•1
with consideration of this project, additional analysis will 'be
required to comply with the California Environmental Quality Act,
(CEQA).
CEQA requires that the City prepare and circulate a
Subsequent EIR because of: (1) changes to the project; (2)
changes in the circumstances in which it is being undertaken; and
(3) new information which was not known, and could not reasonably
have been known at the time that the EIR on the General Plan,
zoning code amendments and two sites was finalized in 1990. In
any case, the 1990 EIR is inadequate, and the approval of the
1
)
SUPPLEMENTAL
INFORMATION
5
Conditional Use Permit would be another discretionary act)for
which a legally adequate EIR is required. Thus, the legally
inadequate 1990 EIR cannot serve as a basis for approval of the
project. Therefore, if the Council wishes to go forward with an
oil drilling project at the maintenance yard, a Subsequent EIR
that contains all the information and analysis necessary to
inform the public, and the Council as decision -makers, regarding
the environmental impacts of this project, mitigation measures
and alternatives to the project, should be prepared, circulated
for public comment, and considered prior to any further action on
this project.
APPROVAL OF A 1.6 ACRE PROJECT WOULD VIOLATE THE CITY ORDINANCE
AUTHORIZING A LIMITED= EXCEPTION TO THE PROHIBITION ON OIL
DRILLING in Hermosa Beach.
Ordinance 84-758, passed by the People in 1984, created a
limited exception to the City's long standing prohibition on oil
drilling. The ordinance provided an exception from the
prohibition on oil drilling for "...wells drilled from a site not
to exceed one acre in size at the present City maintenance
yard..." The current proposal, combining development and -
production, is for a site of approximately 1.6 acres. As we
understand it, the City Attorney and Planning Department staff
have interpreted this ordinance to allow a project covering more
than one acre, on the grounds that the wells themselves will
cover less than one acre. This interpretation is contrary to
common sense, and the plain meaning and legislative history of
the ordinance.
The statement on the ballot for measure "P" in 1984 queried,
in pertinent part:
Shall Ordinance No. 84-758, an Ordinance submitted to the
voters by the City Council, be adopted which amends the
prohibition against oil wells to allow for the drilling of
oil and gas from a one acre site at the City maintenance
yard..?" Emphasis added.
The City Attorney's impartial analysis accompanying measure "P"
on the ballot was even more explicit: "The site could not be
larger than one acre in size." Emphasis added.
If the term "site" means the area of the wells, then the proposed
slant drilling will involve far more than one acre, even though
the cellar from which the wells operate involves far less than
one acre. The most reasonable interpretation of this exception
to the prohibition on oil drilling is that the People of Hermosa
Beach were seeking to limit the impact of oil drilling, with all
its facilities, to a one surface acre portion of the City Yard,
since the project contemplated always involved slant drilling to
2
reach as much of the onshore and offshore resources as possible.
ALONG WITH OTHER FINANCIAL CONSIDERATIONS, LIABILITY FOR CLEAN-UP
OF THE SITE, WHICH CANNOT BE LIMITED BY THE LEASE PROVISION
AUTHORIZING REVOCATION, MAKES THE PROJECT FISCALLY IMPRUDENT.
The potential presence of hazardous substances from old
underground tanks at the Maintenance Yard has been repeatedly
referenced by staff. At the Planning Commission hearing on June
1st, Hermosa Beach City Attorney Ed Lee advised the Commission
that if contamination of the site is discovered, and the City
reasonably determines that the actual costs of clean-up will
exceed $50,000, the lease allows termination. While this is
correct pursuant to Section 13.c.(2) of the lease (page 21 of the
December 12, 1991 draft), this provision does not limit the
City's liability for clean-up once the City knows, or reasonably
should know, of the presence of hazardous wastes. In fact, in
addition to a State mandate for clean-up of hazardous wastes,
which can be extremely costly, there are civil and criminal
penalties for failure to clean-up hazardous wastes, pursuant to
Health and Safety Code Section 25189, et. seq.
This fact, along with the financial instability of
MacPherson's partner, GLG Energy, the speculative nature of any
revenue to the City, the unrealistic financial projections by
MacPherson Oil Company, and the restrictions on the use of any
revenue received, all make project denial the most fiscally
responsible course. They also undermine the factual basis for
the finding in the Statement of Overriding Considerations that
the project will generate funds necessary for the purchase of
additional open space.
A SUBSEQUENT EIR MUST BE PREPARED TO ANALYZE CHANGES IN THE
PROJECT, CHANGED CIRCUMSTANCES, AND NEW INFORMATION WHICH WAS NOT
AVAILABLE IN 1990. EVEN WITHOUT THESE CHANGES, THE EIR FINALIZED
IN 1990 WAS INADEQUATE, AND MUST BE REVISED, SINCE THE
CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT IS ANOTHER DISCRETIONARY ACTION FOR WHICH
A LEGALLY ADEQUATE EIR IS REQUIRED.
A. A Subsequent EIR is Required Because of Changes in the
Project. the Circumstances Under Which the Project is
Proposed to be Undertaken, and Because New Information is
Available.
A subsequent 'or supplemental EIR must be prepared when:
"(a) Substantial changes are proposed in the project which
will require major revisions of the environmental impact
report.
(b) Substantial changes occur with respect to the
circumstances under which the project is being undertaken
3
which will require major revisions in the environmental
impact report.
(c) New information, which was not known and could not
have been known at the time the environmental impact
report was certified as complete, becomes available."
Public Resources Code Section 21166.
The Resources Agency Guidelines interpreting CEQA (14
Cal.Ad.Code Section 15000, et.seq., hereafter CEQA Guidelines)
elaborate on the conditions under which a subsequent or
supplemental EIR is required. A copy of the pertinent guidelines
is attached for your convenience. Attachment A. As you can see,
a Subsequent EIR must be prepared when (1) substantial changes
are proposed in the project; (2) substantial changes occur with
respect to the circumstances under which the project is
undertaken; (3) new information of substantial importance to the
project becomes available, not known at the time the previous EIR
was certified. That new information must show either: (a)
significant effects not previously considered; (b) more severe
effects than those considered in the EIR; (c) mitigation measures
or alternatives not previously found feasible, which in fact are;
or (d) new mitigation measures or alternatives not previously
considered in the EIR. CEQA Guidelines, Section 15162.
A supplemental, as opposed to a subsequent EIR, may be
prepared when only minor changes would be required to the EIR.
CEQA Guidelines, Section 15163. A supplemental EIR, however, must
be circulated and considered in the same way as a subsequent EIR.
Though the Planning Department staff prepared an addendum to
the EIR for purposes of the Conditional Use Permit, that document
is wholly inadequate to address the changes to the project, the
circumstances under which the project will be undertaken, and
new information which is available about impacts, alternatives,
and mitigation measures. An addendum may be prepared only when
the circumstances requiring a subsequent EIR are not present,
only minor technical changes are needed to the EIR, and there are
no important new issues about the significant effects on the
environment. In the matter before you, major environmental
issues must be addressed, and thus an addendum will not- suffice
to meet CEQA's mandates.
1. There have been substantial changes to the prosect.
a. Expansion of the Maintenance Yard from a One Acre Site
to a 1.6 Acre Site.
The Draft EIR on the proposed oil exploration and production
project stated:
The proposed project will be built on two (2) separate sites
4
within the_City of Hermosa Beach. The first site is a one -
acre area located in the City Maintenance Yard. The second
site is a one acre area located one -block to the south in a
School Yard owned by the City of Hermosa Beach School
District. The wells will be located on the Maintenance Yard
while the production facilities for the proposed project
will be located on the School Yard site." Draft EIR, Vol. I,
Executive Summary, p. 1. Emphasis added.
In the Final EIR, the third sentence of the above paragraph,
describing the role- of the School Yard site, was deleted. The
words "only one site", and "mitigation=only one site" appear in
hand writing in the Final EIR on the same page. Final EIR, Volume
II, p.i. Other references to two sites remained throughout the
EIR. There was never an opportunity for public input into the
decision to a change in the size of the Maintenance Yard site in
order to consolidate drilling and production on the Maintenance
Yard.
Now, the project which is proposed is approximately a 1.6
acre site at the Maintenance Yard. This 60% increase in the size
of the project at the Maintenance Yard must be analyzed. The
situation is very similar to that in Concerned Citizens of Costa
Mesa, Inc. v 32nd Dist. Agr. Ass'n (1986) 42 Ca1.3d 929, where an
increase in the size of a theater complex from six to ten acres
.x was held a sufficient change to require preparation of a
subsequent EIR. After all "(a)n accurate, stable and finite
project description is the sine qua non of an informative and
legally sufficient EIR." County of Inyo v. City of Los Angeles
(1977)- 71 C.A.3d 185, p.192-193. The impacts to adjacent
properties will obviously be heightened by the consolidation of
drilling and production. For all residents adjacent to the
Maintenance Yard, except those to the south, noise and fumes will
be greater than if drilling alone was taking place at the
Maintenance Yard. The proximity of wells and pumps with storage
tanks and separation equipment raises new safety concerns, as the
project is "shoe -horned" onto a 1.6 acre site. None of these
issues were discussed in the 1990 EIR, which contemplated two
separate sites.
b. The Impact of Water Reinjection.
Another new aspect of the project is the proposal to
reinject the process water, rather than discharge it to the sewer
system. Although reducing the discharge of oily water to the
sewer system may be a preferable course, it presents a number of
potential impacts which must be analyzed. First, the reinjection
will heighten the risk of earthquakes. (See Attachment B,
Declaration of Dr. David Jackson.) Second, there has been no
discussion of the impacts of the operation of the pumps to be
used to operate the compressors. Will they be electric or
5
r .. _. _ £. t ..... •ate,, ,.. �:..
diesel? If they are diesel, what about the noise and air
pollution? Will they cause additional vibrations and annoy
adjacent property users, interfere with electrical transmission,
or increase the possibility of subsidence or liquefaction?
Third, will the water reinjection, using wells that would
otherwise be used for production, extend the duration of the
project? Fourth, if, for example, twenty rather than thirty
wells are extracting oil, may the size of the various processing,
storage and support facilities be reduced? (We are using the
number twenty because the EIR stated that the wells will produce
50% water. Thus, ten wells would be needed to reinject the water
produced by twenty wells, if there are a total of thirty wells at
the site.) A Subsequent EIR must analyze these potentially
significant impacts.
c. Rerouting of Truck Traffic.
One of the mitigation measures imposed in the Conditional
Use Permit is a change in the routing of the trucks used for
delivery of equipment to the site, and the removal of oil from
the site, unless and until a pipeline is laid. Section 6, number
4 of the Conditional Use Permit approved by the Planning
Commission provides that, unless otherwise permitted, all truck
traffic will be routed south of the subject property, to Herondo
Blvd. This will require a temporary change of Valley Drive to
allow two way traffic. Again, although this change in the
routing of up to 36 trips a day may constitute a mitigation
measure, it will result in certain new significant impacts which
have not yet been considered, including an area wide impact as
the traffic is routed onto Herondo Blvd., in the City of Redondo
Beach.
d. Changes in the Hours of Truck Traffic.
Another impact which must be analyzed is the decision to
limit truck traffic to the hours between 9 AM and 3 PM.
Conditional Use Permit, Section 6, number 1. This differs
substantially from the EIR, which allowed truck traffic from 8 AM
to 7 PM. Final EIR, Volume II, Executive Summary, p.iii. While
the purpose of the condition is to reduce the impact on rush hour
traffic, the compression of the time will increase the impact on
those exposed during the hours of operations, including those who
access their homes off of Valley Blvd, and the users of the
Greenbelt, who are likely to be present in significant numbers in
off-peak hours. Thus, the change in the project also is likely to
result in significant impacts which the 1990 EIR failed to
consider.
e. Chancres Which were the Subject of the Addendum.
6
•
In the April 27, 1993 report from the Planning Department
staff to the Planning Commission, the staff explained the need
for the Addendum to the EIR they had prepared.
"As you can see, providing all the drilling, production and
storage on this small site has been rather difficult.. As
such, some slight deviations to the (sic) what was presented
in the EIR are being proposed." Report to Planning
Commission, p. 3.
The staff then proceeds to describe the changes, which include a
chain link fence during exploration; use of an eleven foot high
pump above ground, rather than a submerged pump as originally
proposed; and the temporary relocation of the Maintenance Yard,
including the animal kennel. They made no mention of the major
changes discussed above.
The changes that were acknowledged by the staff were
discussed in a two page addendum that was never subject to public
review. Even for these changes, preparation of an addendum
instead of a subsequent or supplemental EIR was not appropriate,
because the changes are not of a minor or technical nature. They -
will have a real, and significant impact on the users of the
adjacent property, including the public who use the Greenbelt,
and especially occupants of property which looks down at the
site.
2. A Subsequent EIR is Required Because of Substantial
Changes in the Circumstances under Which the Project is
Undertaken
In addition to the substantial changes to the project
itself, substantial changes have occurred with regard to the
circumstances under which the project is to be undertaken. At
the time of the finalization of the EIR in 1990, the School Yard
site was a large lot being considered for use for production
facilities. Subsequently, it was purchased by the City from the
School District for use as a park. Design plans for the park are
being prepared. This park site is one block away from the
Maintenance -Yard. A Subsequent EIR must analyze the impact of
oil and gas development and production on this park.
3. New Information Regarding the Impacts of the Proiect, the
Circumstances Under Which It Would be Undertaken, and
Alternatives and Mitigation Measures, Warrant Preparation of
a Subsequent EIR.
Significant new information about potential subsidence,
geologic risks created by channeling caused by vibrations,
alternative drilling equipment, and drilling from the now
abandoned Redondo Beach site should be considered in a Subsequent
EIR.
The issue of subsidence was discussed in the 1990 EIR, with
a discussion of the Wilmington field subsidence, and subsidence
"which has occurred to a minor degree in Redondo Beach, perhaps
approximating 3/4 of a foot near the ocean front...". Final. EIR,
Volume II, p. 49. According to the Executive Summary "(s)ome
subsidence (few tenths of a foot) may occur, mostly offshore,
over a large area. Final EIR, Volume II, Executive Summary,
p.iii. Information is now available that up to three feet of
subsidence has occurred in Redondo Beach, and many law suits are
pending over the issue. According to Harvey Beverly, of the
Survey Division of the Army Corp of Engineers, between 1927 and
1964, 6 inches of subsidence occurred, between 1964 and 1975, 12
inches of subsidence occurred, and between 1975 and 1988, 18
inches of subsidence occurred, for a total of at least two and a
half feet. (Conversation with Rosamond Fogg, who will be
available at the hearing to respond to any questions.) This new
information should be considered in a Subsequent EIR because it
shows the potential for impacts more severe than those considered
in the EIR.
CEQA also requires a Subsequent EIR where new information
that mitigation measures or alternatives previously found not to
be feasible would in fact be feasible and would substantially
reduce one or more significant effects of the project. New
information exists demonstrating the feasibility of an
environmentally superior alternative, which was dismissed as
infeasible in the 1990 EIR.
The environmentally preferred and feasible alternative to
this project is to slant drill from thenow abandoned Redondo
Beach site. To drill from an existing site would substantially
reduce the adverse impacts of development of a new site. A
member of the Coalition, Mr. Tom Morley, advocated the use of
that site in some detail during a public hearing before the
Planning Commission on September 19, 1989. That alternative was
rejected as infeasible, because the applicants calculations,
based upon proprietary data, indicated only 37% of the reserves
could be developed from the Redondo Beach site. This was based on
the assumption that the wells would "reach as far off -shore as
the wells from the Redondo Beach recovery facilities reached..."
Final EIR, IV, at P.36. However, according to a conversation
that Rosamond Fogg had with Jeff Hebein, an engineer with the
California Division of Oil and Gas, it is impossible to determine
how much of the site may be accessed until drilling is commenced,
and it is possible to slant drill distances greater than that
between the Hermosa Beach field and the Redondo Beach site with
current technology.
In any case, reasonable alternatives must be discussed,
8
even when they will not accomplish all of the applicant's project
objectives. As stated in the CEQA guidelines:
"The discussion of alternatives shall focus on alternatives
capable of eliminating any significant adverse environmental
effects or reducing them to a level of insignificance, even
if these alternatives would impede to some degree the
attainment of the proiect obiectives, or would be more
costly." CEQA Guidelines, Section 15126 (d)(3).
Finally, Tom Morely had requested that as a mitigation
measure a derrick of no greater than 100 feet be utilized. City
staff responded that the applicant found such a restriction
infeasible. Final EIR, Volume IV, Response 221, P. 108.
However, according to Jeff Hebein, the engineer with the
California Division of Oil and Gas with whom Rosamond Fogg spoke,
derricks of 60 or even 30 feet can be utilized to slant drill for
oil and gas. It is the capacity of the rig rather than the
height of the derrick which determines how far or deep a well may
be drilled. Further, the applicant's project engineer confirmed
that a shorter derrick was technically feasible at public hearing
on the Conditional Use Permit.
B. Even Without These Changes, a Revised EIR Should Be
Prepared Because The 1990 EIR Was Inadequate,. and The
Approval of the Conditional Use Permit Is a Discretionary
Act For Which a Legally Adequate EIR Is Required.
Even were there not the changes discussed above, a revised
EIR would be necessary because the EIR certified in 1990 does not
provide a legally adequate basis for a decision on the
Conditional Use Permit, which is a discretionary act, and thus a
"project" under CEQA. The inadequacies of the 1990 EIR are set
forth in detail in the written comments of Tom Morely (Final EIR,
Volume IV, unpaginated, Comments 209-309, and Volume III, p. 65-
116), and the oral comments at the public hearing (Final EIR,
Volume IV, p. 34-39). Major deficiencies include:
1. An inadequate project description which fails to
describe the consolidation of exploration and production
facilities at one site;
2. The failure to analyze the alternative of drilling from
the Redondo Beach site;
3. Inconsistencies with the California Coastal Act. Public
Resources Code Section 30223, et seq., and particularly the
requirement that new development shall be located within or
contiguous with existing development where feasible, as
required by Public Resources Code Section 30250.
9
4. Failure to discuss visual impacts. For example, in
response to Tom Morley's comments that views of the
residents on the bluffs to the west would be degraded, the
City staff responded: "This comment represents an opinion
of the commentor." This, or similar responses, occur
throughout the response to comments where legitimate issues
have been raised by the public. This response by the City
is contrary to CEQA's mandate that:
"...the major environmental issues raised when the lead
agency's position is at variance with recommendations
and objections raised in the comments must be addressed
in detail giving reasons why specific comments and
suggestions were not accepted. There must be good
faith, reasoned analysis in response. Conclusory
statements unsupported by factual information will not
suffice." CEQA Guidelines, Section 15088 (b).
5. Failure to include a geotechnical analysis relating to
the possibility of earthquakes, channeling, liquefaction,
subsidence, fire, explosion, and other hazards. Comments
regarding preparation of a risk analysis and safety plan
were answered with statements such as: "The final design of
the safety measure to be implemented on the project site has
not been completed." Final EIR, Volume III, Response 261,
P. 103. "The project safety plan to be prepared by the
applicant will provide responses to these questions." Final
EIR, Volume III, Response 264, p. 105. However, CEQA does
not allow a project to be approved subject to later detailed
studies. For example, in Sundstrom v Mendocino County
(1988) 202 Cal.App.3d 296, the Court rejected Mendocino
County's plans to meet CEQA's requirements by approving a
project subject to conditions requiring the applicant to
prepare future technical analysis subject to staff approval.
The Court held that such a process would frustrate the
policy of CEQA that such studies be available for public
review and comment prior to decision-making, and that the
county could not delegate its legal responsibilities for
reviewing such studies to the county staff. Sundstrom v
Mendocino County, supra at 307-308. -
While a draft Hazard Footprint has been prepared by the
applicant, it does not meet the standards of the scientific
community. The first draft was transparently lifted from
the Huntington Beach Hazard Footprint prepared by
MacPhersons's technical consultant. The revision is little
better.
6. Responses to comments repeatedly improperly reference
information available from other sources without summarizing
that information. For example, in response to a request for
10
tOr
4 4trr
information regarding the history of complaints regarding
operations at the City maintenance yard, the EIR states:
"The history of complaints on the City maintenance yard's
past activity is on, file with the City." This and other
comments violate --CEQA's requirement that "...the
incorporated part of the referenced document shall be
briefly summarized where possible or briefly described if
the data or information cannot be summarized." CEQA
Guidelines, Section 15150 (c).
These deficiencies in the EIR must be addressed before you
render a decision on the Conditional Use Permit. As a local
agency, you are required to prepare, or cause to be prepared, an
EIR "on any project ...which may have a significant effect on the
environment." Public Resources Code Section 21151. In 1990, the
City of Hermosa Beach "prepared an Environmental Impact Report
("EIR") for certain amendments to the General Plan and the Zoning
Code of the City..." Resolution No 90-5363, Final EIR, Volume I,
p.4. The Final EIR, in an attachment, described the project as a
"one -acre area located in the City Maintenance Yard. The wells,
storage facilities and production facilities will be located on
this site." Final EIR, Volume I, P. 12.
The Planning Commission was advised that they already had
considered an EIR on this project. However, the project
currently under consideration is very different from that which
was the basis for the 1990 EIR. In any case, the fact that the
City already considered the 1990 EIR for the General Plan
Amendment and zoning does not protect the City from a legal
challenge to the City's approval of the Conditional Use Permit
based upon a legally inadequate environmental document. The
Council should revisit the 1990 EIR to determine its adequacy for
approval of the Conditional Use Permit.
The situation before the Council is not unlike the situation
the City faced in Miller v City of Hermosa Beach (1993) 13
Cal.App.4th 1118, where the City had considered an EIR when it
approved the Greenwood Hotel in concept on November 15, 1989, and
imposed different conditions when approving the building permit
on a smaller hotel on the same site in November of 1990. The
Court of Appeal held that issuance of the building permit was a
discretionary act triggering the statute of limitations under
CEQA.
The Miller case follows a number of California decisions
dealing with multiple project approval. The California Supreme
Court required an EIR from the State Board of Education prior to
approval of a secession plan prepared by a county committee for
formation of a new unified high school district, even though the
proposal would ultimately have to be submitted to the voters.
The Court held:
11
"...State Board approval of the secession Plan is an
essential step leading to ultimate environmental impact; it
is therefore under the reasoning of Bozung and Simi Valley
a 'project' within the scope of CEQA." Fullerton Joint High
School Dist. v State Bd. of Education (1982) 32 Ca1.3d.779,
at 797.
Thus, a new Notice of Determination must be filed if you approve
the Conditional Use Permit and the opportunity to seek judicial
review of the adequacy of the EIR runs from that date. Public
Resources Code Section 21167(c). If you fail to file a Notice of
Determination, a challenge to your action may be filed within 180
days of your action. Public Resources Code Section 21167(d).
The City's circumstances are similar to the City of
Placerville's approval of a subdivision in El Dorado Union High
School Dist. v City of Placerville (1985) 144 Cal.App.3d 123.
There the Court found the plaintiff's case timely when the action
was brought within 30 days of the filing of the notice of
determination on approval of a subdivision map, even though the
statute triggered by the first notice of determination, on the
necessary rezoning, had run a year earlier.
Since the City is required to consider an adequate EIR
before the Conditional Use Permit is approved, a Subsequent EIR
to address the changes in the project, the circumstances under
which it is to be undertaken, and new information must be
prepared. The same document may be used to provide the
information necessary to render the 1990 EIR adequate for
purposes of this project. The document will, of course, have to
be circulated for public comment before it can be finalized and
considered by the Council.
Other factors.
In addition to the legal issues presented here, the Hermosa
Beach Stop Oil Coalition has substantial concerns about the
qualifications and financial stability of MacPherson Oil Company,
and their partners. Although that issue will be addressed
separately by members of the Coalition at the July 13th hearing,
we wish to raise both of those concerns at this time because of
their relevance to the potential environmental impacts of the
project.
Even a good project can turn sour when a project applicant
has insufficient experience with the type of project, especially
a project as technically demanding as oil and gas. development.
Likewise, the most highly controlled project will become an
enforcement nightmare when the operator is trying to cut corners
on costs because of financial constraints. We hope that you
12
consider these factors when you review the Planning Commission's
decision on the Conditional Use Permit.
For all the foregoing reasons, we urge the Council to refuse
to grant approval for the Conditional Use Permit unless and until
a Subsequent EIR is prepared and circulated for public comment,
in compliance with CEQA. The Subsequent EIR must not only
correct the legal deficiencies in the 1990 EIR, but also must
analyze the new significant impacts of the project resulting from
changes in the project and surrounding circumstances, as well as
new information regarding impacts, alternatives, and mitigation
measures. Included in such a draft should be the results of a
soils analysis (an environmental assessment) of the site
necessary to determine the potential liability for any clean-up
of hazardous wastes. Further, we urge you to publicly state your
commitment to restricting any oil and gas development at the City
Yard to one acre, in conformance with Ordinance No. 84-758.
Very truly yours,
Jan Chatten-Brown

mental impact. Further, the lead agency may use an earlier EIR prep
in connection with an earlier project to apply to a later project, if the ir-
cumstances of the projects are essentially the same.
(b) When a lead agency proposes to use an EIR from an earlier oject
as the EIR for a separate, later project, the lead agency shall use e fol-
lowing procedures:
(1) The lead agency shall review the proposed project wi an initial
study, using incorporation by reference if necessary, to det e wheth-
er the EIR would adequately describe:
(A) The general environmental setting of the projec
(B) The significant environmental impacts of the • . ject, and
(C) Alternatives and mitigation measures related • each significant
effect.
(2) If the lead agency believes that the EIR-w. ld meet the require-
ments of Subsection (1),itshall provide public re ew as provided in Sec-
tion 15087 stating that it plans to use the previ sly prepared EIR as the
draft EIR for this project. The notice shall in • ude as a minimum:
(A) An identification of the project with . brief description;
(B) A statement that the agency plans to • se a certain EIR prepared for
a previous project as the EIR for this pr., ect
(C) A listing of places where copies . the EIR may be examined; and
(D) A statement that the key issues volving the EIR are whether the
EIR should be used for this project • d whether there are any additional,
reasonable alternatives or mitigatio measures that should be considered
as ways of avoiding or reducing e significant effects of the project.
(3) The lead agency shall prep responses to comments received dur-
ing the review period.
(4) Before approving the p'. ject, the decisionmaker in the lead agency
shall:
(A) Consider the info . tion in the EIR including comments received
during the review perio • and responses to those comments,
(B) Decide either on is own or on a staff recommendation whether the
EIR is adequate for • e project at hand, and
(C) Make or req certification to be made as described in Section
15090.
(D) Make fin.'ngs as provided in Sections 15091 and 15093 as neces-
sary.
(5) After .. . ng a decision on the project, the lead agency shall file
a notice of • termination.
(c) An . • prepared for an earlier project may also be used as part of
an initial . tudy to document a finding that a later project will not have a
signific t effect. In this situation a negative declaration will be prepared.
(d) EIR prepared for an earlier project shall not be used as the EIR
for . ater project if any of the conditions described in Section 15162
wo . d require preparation of a subsequent or supplemental EIR.

Article 11. Types of EIRs
§ 15160. General.
This article describes a number of examples of variations in EIRs as
the documents are tailored to different situations and intended uses.
These variations are not exclusive. Lead agencies may use other varia-
tions consistent with the guidelines to meet the needs of other circum-
stances. All EIRs must meet the content requirements discussed in Ar-
ticle 9 beginning with Section 15120.

§ 15161. Project EIR.
The most common type of EIR examines the environmental impacts
of a specific development project. This type of EIR should focus primari-
ly on the changes in the environment that would result from the develop-
ment project. The EIR shall examine all phases of the project including
planning, construction, and operation.
Nom: Authority cited: Sections 21083 and 21087, Public Resources Code. Refer-
ence: Sections 21061, 21100 and 21151, Public Resources Code.
§ 15162. Subsequent EIR.
(a) Where an EIR or negative declaration has been prepared, no addi-
tional EIR need be prepared unless:
(1) Subsequent changes are proposed in the project which will require
important revisions of the previous EIR or negative declaration due to the
involvement of new significant environmental impacts not considered in
a previous EIR or negative declaration on the project;
(2) Substantial changes occur with respect to the circumstances under
which the project is undertaken, such as a substantial deterioration in the
air quality where the project will be located, which will require important
revisions in the previous EIR or negative declaration due to the involve-
ment of new significant environmental impacts not covered in a previous
EIR or negative declaration; or
(3) New information of substantial importance to the project becomes
available, and
(A) The information was not known and could not have been known
at the time the previous EIR was certified as complete or the negative dec-
laration was adopted, and
(B) The new information shows any of the following:
1. The project will have one or more significant effects not discussed
previously in the EIR;
2. Significant effects previously examined will be substantially more
severe than shown in the EIR;
3. Mitigation measures or alternatives previously found not to be feasi-
ble would in fact be feasible and would substantially reduce one or more
significant effects of the project; or
4. Mitigation measures or alternatives which were not previously con-
sidered in the EIR would substantially lessen one or more significant ef-
fects on the environment.
(b) If the EIR or negative declaration has been completed but the proj-
ect has not yet been approved, the lead agency shall prepare or cause to
be prepared the subsequent EIR before approving the project.
(c) If the project was approved prior to the occurrence of the conditions
described in Subsection (a), the subsequent EIR shall be prepared by the
public agency which grants the next discretionary approval for the proj-
ect. In this situation no other responsible agency shall grant an approval
for the project until the subsequent EIR has been completed.
Nom: Authority cited: Sections 21083 and 21087, Public Resources Code. Refer-
ence: Section 21166, Public Resources Code.
§ 15163. Supplement to an EIR.
(a) The lead or responsible agency may choose to prepare a supple-
ment to an EIR rather than a subsequent EIR if:
(1) Any of the conditions described in Section 15162 would require the
preparation of a subsequent EIR, and
(2) Only minor additions or changes would be necessary to make the
previous EIR adequately apply to the project in the changed situation.
(b) The supplement to the EIR need contain only the information nec-
essary to make the previous EIR adequate for the project as revised.
(c) A supplement to an EIR shall be given the same kind of notice and
public review as is given to a draft EIR under Section 15087.
(d) A supplement to an EIR may be circulated by itself without recircu-
lating the previous draft or final EIR.
(e) When the agency decides whether to approve the project, the deci-
sion—making body shall consider the previous EIR as revised by the

supplemental EIR. A finding under Section 15091 shall be made for each
'significant effect shown in the previous EIR as revised.
Nom Authority cited: Sections 21083 and 21087, Public Resources Code. Refer-
ence: Section 21166, Public Resources Code.
§ 15164. Addendum to an EIR.
I (a) The lead agency or a responsible agency shall prepare an addendum
to an EIR if:
(1) None of the conditions described in Section 15162 calling for prep-
aration of a subsequent EIR have occurred;
(2) Only minor technical changes or additions are necessary to make
the EIR under consideration adequate under CEQA; and
(3) The changes to the EIR made by the addendum do not raise impor-
tant new issues about the significant effects on the environment.
(b) An addendum need not be circulated for public review but can be
included in or attached to the final EIR.
(c) The decision making body shall consider the addendum with the
final EIR prior to making a decision on the project.
Nom Authority cited: Sections 21083 and 21087, Public Resources Code. Refer-
ence: Section 21166, Public Resources Code.
§ 15165. Multiple and Phased Projects.
Where individual projects are, or a phased project is, to be undertaken
and where the total undertaking comprises a project with significant envi-
ronmental effect, the lead agency shall prepare a single program EIR for
the ultimate project as described in Section 15168. Where an individual
project is a necessary precedent for action on a larger project, or commits
the lead agency to a larger project, with significant environmental effect,
an EIR must address itself to the scope of the larger project. Where one
project is one of several similar projects of a public agency, but is not
} deemed a part of a larger undertaking or a larger project, the agency may
prepare one EIR for all projects, or one for each project, but shall in either
case comment upon the'cumulative effect.

ence: Sections 21061, 21100 and 21151, Public Resources Code; Whitman v.
Board of Supervisors, 88 Cal. App. 3d 397 (1979).
§ 15166. EIR As Part of a General Plan.
(a) The requirements for preparing an EIR on a local general plan, ele-
ment, or amendment thereof will be satisfied by using the general plan,
or element document, as the EIR and no separate EIR will be required,
if:
(1) the general plan addresses all the points required to be in an EIR
by Article 9 of these guidelines and
(2) the document contains a special section or a cover sheet identifying
where the general plan document addresses each of the points required.
(b) Where an EIR rather than a negative declaration has been prepared
for a general plan, element, or amendment thereto, the EIR shall be for-
warded to the State Clearinghouse for review. The requirement shall ap-
ply regardless of whether the EIR is prepared as a separate document or
as a part of the general plan or element document.

ence: Sections 21003, 21061, 21083, 21100, 21104, 21151 and 21152, Public Re-
sources Code.
§ 15167. Staged EIR.
(a)Where a large capital project will require a number of discretionary
approvals from government agencies and one of the approvals will occur
more than two years before construction will begin, a staged EIR may be
prepared covering the entire project in a general form. The staged EIR
shall evaluate the proposal in light of current and contemplated plans and
produce an informed estimate of the environmental consequences of the
entire project. The aspect of the project before the public agency for ap-
proval shall be discussed with a greater degree of specificity.
(b) When a staged EIR has been prepared, a supplement to the EIR
shall be prepared when a later approval is required for the project, and the
infonnation available at the time of the later approval would permit con-
sideration of additional environmental impacts, mitigation measures, or
reasonable alternatives to the project.
(c) Where a statute such as the Warren—Alquist Energy Resources
Conservation and Development Act provides that a specific agency shall
be the lead agency for a project and requires the lead agency to prepare
an EIR, a responsible agency which must grant an approval for the project
before the lead agency has completed the EIR may prepare and consider
a staged EIR.
(d) An agency requested to prepare a staged EIR may decline to act as
the lead agency if it determines, among other factors, that:
(1) Another agency would be the appropriate lead agency; and
(2) There is no compelling need to prepare a staged EIR and grant an
approval for the project before the appropriate lead agency will take its
action on the project.
Nom Authority cited: Sections 21083 and 21087, Public Resources Code. Refer-
ence: Section 21003, Public Resources Code.
§ 15168. Program EIR.
(a) General. A program EIR is an EIR which may be prepared on a se-
ries of actions that can be characterized as one large project and are re-
lated either.
(1) Geographically,
(2) As logical parts in the chain of contemplated actions,
(3) In connection with issuance of rules, regulations, plans, or other
general criteria to govern the conduct of a continuing program, or
(4) As individual activities carried out under the same authorizing stat-
utory or regulatory authority and having generally similar environmental
effects which can be mitigated in similar ways.
(b) Advantages. Use of a program EIR can provide the following ad-
vantages. The program EIR can:
(1) Provide an occasion for a more exhaustive consideration of effects
and alternatives than would be practical in an EIR on an individual action,
(2) Ensure consideration of cumulative impacts that might be slighted
in a case—by—case analysis, qq
(3) Avoid duplicative reconsideration of basic policy considerations, F_
(4) Allow the lead agency to consider broad policy alternatives and
program wide mitigation measures at an early time when the agency has
greater flexibility to deal with basic problems or cumulative impacts,
(5) Allow reduction in paperwork.
(c) Use With Later Activities. Subsequent activities in the program
must be examined in the light of the program EIR to determine whether
an additional environmental document must be prepared.
(1) If a later activity would have effects that were not examined in the
program EIR, a new initial study would need to be prepared leading to
either an EIR or a negative declaration.
(2) If the agency finds that pursuant to Section 15162, no new effects
could occur or no new mitigation measures would be required, the agency
can approve the activity as being within the scope of the project covered
by the program EIR, and no new environmental document would be re-
quired.
(3) An agency shall incorporate feasible mitigation measures and al-
ternatives developed in the program EIR into subsequent actions in the
program.
(4) Where the subsequent activities involve site specific operations,
the agency should use a written checklist or similar device to document
the evaluation of the site and the activity to determine whether the envi-
ronmental effects of the operation were covered in the program EIR.
(5) A program EER will be most helpful in dealing with subsequent ac-
tivities if it deals with the effects of the program as specifically and com-
prehensively as possible. With a good and detailed analysis of the pro-
gram, many subsequent activities could be found to be within the scope
of the project described in the program EIR, and no furtherenvironmental
documents would be required.
(d) Use With Subsequent FIRS and Negative Declarations. A program
EIR can be used to simplify the task of preparing environmental docu-
ments on later parts of the program. The program BR can:
(1) Provide the basis in an initial study for determining whether the lat-
er activity may have any significant effects.

DECLARATION OF DAVID D. JACKSON
I, David D. Jackson, declare as follows:
1. My name is David D. Jackson, and I am a Professor of
Geophysics at the University of California at Los Angeles.
2. I received my Bachelor of Science from California Institute
of Technology in 1965, and my Ph.D. from the Department of Earth
and Planetary Science at the Massachusetts Institute of
Technology in 1969.
3. In 1991, I served as the Secretary of the Seismology Section
of the American Geophysical Union; and in 1993, I served as
President-elect of that Section. In 1993 I was elected a Fellow
of the American Geophysical Union, an honor reserved to no more -
than .01% of the membership in any year.
4. Since 1981, I have served
Prediction Evaluation Council,
Services, State of California.
Committee on Seismology of the
National Research Council.
on the California Earthquake
for the Office of Emergency
I also was a member of the
National Academy of Sciences,
5. I am the author of numerous scientific articles on
earthquakes, including articles discussing the causes of
earthquakes.
These articles have been published in scientific journals,
including The Journal of Geophysical Research; The Bulletin of
the Seismological Society of America; and Physics of the Earth
and Planetary Interiors.
6. With regard to the question of whether the reinjection of
water at an oil drilling operation could increase the risk of an
earthquake, the answer is certainly yes. Earthquakes happen when
the shear stress exceeds a certain fraction of the rock pressure
across a fault. Water and other pore fluids counteract the rock
pressure, making the fault more unstable.
7. There are a number of examples of situations where water
contributed to the occurrence of earthquakes. One classic
example is the earthquakes that occurred in the early 1960's at
the Rocky Mountain Arsenal in Colorado. Water was pumped
underground by the Army. There was an unusual rash of
earthquakes, but the Army claimed they were natural events.
However, the Army ceased pumping for about a year, and the
earthquakes stopped almost completely. Then the earthquakes
resumed again when pumping was resumed in late 1964.
Attach hent B-
o
{
8. A second example of water contributing to earthquakes
occurred at the Rangley Oil Field in Western Colorado. The
operators of the oil field allowed the U.S.G.S. to use the field
for a controlled experiment. The U.S.G.S. varied the pumping
rate, and they found that the rate of earthquake occurrence
correlated strongly with the amount of water pumped into the
wells.
I declare that the foregoing statements are true and correct.
Executed this 7th day of July in Los Angeles, California.

STAFF WRITER
A quiet Harbor City neighborhood was
disrupted Wednesday when nearly 3,000
gallons of oil erupted from a Mobil Oil
Corp. well, spewing a torrent of the black,
slippery crude past a quarter -mile stretch
of houses before emptying into the county—
flood control system and cascading all the
way to the Harbor Freeway.
Once the gusher reached storm drains,
State Fish and Game officials hurried to
the scene to determine whether the spill
had contaminated state waters. And, fear-
rhoo
ing the oil wo d reach Los` Angeles Har-
bor, the Los ngeles City Fire Depart-
ment alerted a U.S. Coast Guard.
Residents set by the lakes of oil
alongside the properties surveyed the
damage. Erne ency crews armed with in-
dustrial hoses cordoned off streets and
intersections. rbs and gutters, automo-
bile fenders, b pers and whitewalls were
splashed black. And the smell of petro-
leum hung heavy.
"This whole•thing is the fuel for me and
my wife to move. I want out of here," said

The "experts" are distorting the facts about oil drilling. What snuck past voter approval years ago as
a couple of little oil wells at 5th & Valley has been turned into a 30 -well major project with its own
pipeline.
* Oil drilling and recovery STINKS. MacPherson's plan to reduce smell (which is measured in
parts per million) to 1% falls 10,000 times short of effective. 1% fumes is what is allowed for gas
stations! Do you want to live and breathe in a gas station all day every day? This is not a North
Hermosa vs. South Hermosa issue. The whole community will experience foul odors throughout
the day and night. Also, as special additives and muds that developers sometimes use do
somewhat deaden the stench, but do not cut down on pollution.
* Crude oil components are known to cause cancer. Taking steps to reduce odors will not take
away the toxicity. MacPherson Oil plans to prevent some of the smell by burning the oil
byproducts and gasses within the well structures. This will vent deadly carbon monoxide
absolutely unmitigated into the community. Their "solution" is to replace deadly gasses that smell
with even more deadly gasses that don't smell. This is not considerate of our welfare, and the
phrase "insignificant risk" seems contradictory to us.
* Oil exploration and recovery is NOISY, 24 hours a day. The developer's own environmental
report admits that we will hear noise even with our windows and doors shut. In addition to
noise, there will be a constant low frequency vibration for which there is no remedy. City roads
will be overwhelmed with heavy truck traffic. The wells can exist for 35 years. Imagine the
quality of life with serenity shattered, AND IT NEVER STOPS!
* Property values will drop drastically. Who would buy? With supply, but no demand, PRICES
FALL! After values plunge, the community deteriorates. In the end, the value of our city will
average downward. MacPherson Oil ads portraying oil production as enhancing our quality of
life are offensive and insulting.
* Oil Drilling involves risk of catastrophe: Blowouts, explosions, seismic instability, uncontained
gas leaks, sabotage, fires, land subsidence. Fact: 3 feet of subsidence from Redondo drilling has
resulted in multi-million dollar litigation for the city, and steps to prevent land sinking by water
re-injection is a cause of earthquakes. The driller's performance bond and city's insurance is
criminally inadequate. Those of us who are most likely to be harmed will be forced to bear the
financial risks as well!
* MacPherson Oil Co. has substantially distorted the value of the oil produced and has
misstated where the money will go. It won't go to buy the greenbelt and South School
property (as the voters were told on the ballot back in 1984); we already own those. It won't
retire the utility tax, and it won't finance our enjoyment of sunsets, bike rides, jogging excursions
or cafe breakfasts, as his ads claim. More to the point, an oil project will remove the pleasure of
those activities. MacPherson's ads and estimates of income are outrageous. The State Lands
Commission and the Division of Oil and Gas both agree that this area's oil is very poor quality,
and our wells will in fact produce 90 - 95% water. MacPherson represents these same wells will
be top producing "gushers". Nearby wells produced so poorly (97.5% water) they were shut
down. The poor oil quality in this area, plus the low rate of production brings an average price
of $13/barrel (a generous estimate, since Redondo Beach prices were only $4 a barrel), and
there's about 1/5th the volume as MacPherson claims. In today's dollars, not MacPherson's
hugely inflated estimates, the revenue may be as little as 7-12 million dollars-- or even half that.
Also, MacPherson's lease is set up so the city is liable if anything goes wrong. This way, his
limited partners must sue the city, not MacPherson! Furthermore, MacPherson's 50% partner,
GLC Energy, announced in December, 1992 that they plan to go out of business. They had sold
off 75% of their assets, and declared their intention to sell the remainder, thereby dissolving the
company. Voters supported Proposition P becaused they thought that was the only. way to buy
more parks. Voters never approved taking financial responsiblity for a poorly planned gamble.

I followed up on your question about the effects of oil drilling in the close vicinity
of your home on the asthma of your daughter.
Oil mists and aerosols of machining fluids can cause asthma and pose a definite
hazard of worsening already existing asthma as has been shown in 3 recent studies' -
3. Children are generally more sensitive to pollution induced asthma than adults.
I hope this answers your question.

To: City of Hermosa Beach Public Meeting: 13 July 1993
From: John R. Edwards
Subj: Comments on Macpherson Oil Company Proposal, Permits, Environmental
Documentation.
have extensive experience in the environmental field, an MS in Environmental
Engineering, am Chief of Environmental Management Division for the Air Force
Space and Missile System Center, and am a past planning commissioner for
Hermosa Beach. I am very concerned about the proposed oil project by The
Macpherson Oil Company. Here are my comments about the proposed project.
1. Environmental Impact Report gives insufficient data about the risks involved
from the project, inadequate project description, economic impact and impact of
subsidence on local communities resulting from the development of the well(s).
2. The Risk Assessment "Risk of Upset and System Safety for the Hermosa
Beach Project" Draft of 21 April 93 is limited in scope and inadequate in
quantifying those scenarios it does address. It lacks adequate detail to evaluate
the assumptions, and gives no evidence for quantification of risks. There is
insufficient project data, e.g. drawings of site plan, berms, dikes, walls, etc. to
evaluate report or risks. The assessment focuses on potential for fatal risks,
leaving out the more likely scenarios of exposure to gasses from the project such
as hydrogen sulfide, benzene, methane, ethane and other hydrocarbons. (A list
of data sheets for these from the Environmental Protection Agency Computer
Aided Management of Emergency Operations is attached).
3. Without an adequate Risk Assessment, it is difficult to weigh the relative risks
and benefits of this project. Lacking the economic particulars in the EIR and
without more comprehensive coverage of health risks and risks from subsidence,
request that the project be studied to provide these data, and that then the
project be debated and/or voted upon, with full disclosure of all pertinent
information.
Thank you for the opportunity to comment on this project.

Re: MacPherson Oil Project
Dear Mayor Wiemens and Members of the Council:
At its June 10, 1993 meeting, the Board of Directors of the
Hermosa Beach Chamber of Commerce unanimously agreed to lend its
support of MacPherson Oil Company in their efforts to proceed
through the Conditional Use Permit process.
As with any business endeavoring to bring potential revenue to
our city, the Chamber Board of Directors encourages an expedient
processing of this project while continuing to address the
necessary mitigation measures that are required.
Thank you in advance for your consideration of our position on
this issue. We look forward to continuing to work with officials
of the City of Hermosa Beach in achieving our mutual goals of
community betterment.

July 1, 1'993
To all Hermosa Beach City Council Members,
As residents in the city yard neighborhood we strongly
support the planning commission decision to place additional
conditions on a conditional use permit foroil development
at the city yard. 1
If it were up to us, any "additional conditions" would be
much more stringent, because this project is going to
devalue our property and negatively impact our quality of
life.
We love Hermosa Beach. Any oil derricks, and oil pipelines
should have extremely severe restrictions.

Honorable Mayor -and Members of Regular Meeting of
the Hermosa Beach City Council July 13, 1993 -
P U B L I C" HEARING
CITY OF HERMOSA BEACH
CROSSING GUARD MAINTENANCE DISTRICT 1993-1994
Recommendation:
It is recommended that the City Council:
1. adopt the attached ordinance which:
a. Confirms Crossing Guard Maintenance District 1993-94 and
levies an assessment of $5.05 per unit for the fiscal
year commencing July 1, 1993.
b. Orders certain Crossing Guard Maintenance Services to be
furnished and maintained for the fiscal year beginning
July 1, 1993.
2. Adopt the FY 1993-94 estimated revenue from secured
collections for the Crossing Guard District in the amount of
$54,681.
Background:
As required, the necessary steps have been taken for the public
hearing set for July 13, 1993. Those steps for the adoption of
the City's Crossing Guard Maintenance District are as follows:
1. March 9, 1993 - City Council adopted Resolution No. 93-5593
ordering the report for the renewal of the district.
2. May 18, 1993 - The Director of Public Works filed with the
City Clerk the report consisting of the assessment district
map and the assessments.
3. May 25, 1993 - The City Council adopted Resolution
No. 93-5607, approving the report from the Director of Public
Works.
4. May 25, 1993 - The City Council adopted Resolution No.
93-5606, (a resolution of intention) which set the date and
time of the public hearing to accept public input on this
matter for June 13, 1993, at 8:00 pm.
1
�5
Analysis:
The State of California Government Code provides authority_for
this assessment. The adoption of the attached ordinance provides
the funds necessary to sustain the City's Crossing Guard
Maintenance District for FY 1993-94.
The funds to operate and maintain the Crossing Guards each year
are provided via an annual assessment. The proposed amount of
each assessment unit for FY 1993-94 is $5.05. Staff has used the
same unit of assessment as last year. The total amount of the
assessment is $54,681 for FY 1993-94. The assessment unit is
based on the actual number of dwelling units that are on a
property(or equivalent for vacant and commercial properties) .
Year Number of Units Unit Assessment Total Amount
FY 1993-94 10,828 $5.05 $54,681
Alternatives:
Other alternatives considered by staff and available to City
Council are:
1. Let the District lapse;
obligation by $54,681.

Honorable Mayor and Members of Regular Meeting of
the Hermosa Beach City Council July 13, 1993
PUBLIC HEARING
CITY OF HERMOSA BEACH
STREET LIGHTING DISTRICT 1993-1994
Recommendation:
It is_ recommended that the City Council:
1. Adopt Resolution No. 93- , confirming Street Lighting
District 1993-94 and levying an assessment of $16.84 per unit
for the fiscal year commencing July 1, 1993.
2. Adopt the FY 1993-94 estimated revenue from secured
collections for the street lighting district in the amount of
$182,343.
Background:
As required, the necessary steps have been taken for the public
hearing set for July 13, 1993. Those steps for the adoption of
the City's Street Lighting Maintenance District are as follows:
1. March 9, 1993 - City Council adopted Resolution No. 93-5592
ordering the preparation of a report for the formation of the
District.
2. May 18, 1993 - The Director of Public Works filed with the
City Clerk the Report consisting of the assessment District
Map and the assessments.
3. May 25, 1993 - The City Council adopted Resolution No.
93-5609, approving the report from the Director of Public
Works.
4. On May 25, 1993, the City Council adopted Resolution
No. 93-5608 which set July 13, 1993 at 8:00 P.M.., as the date
and time for a public hearing in order to accept public input
on Street Lighting District 1993-1994.
Analysis:
In keeping with the Council's desire to keep the cost of our
special districts as low as possible, the Council in FY 1990-91
- 1 -
amended the City's policy to have the assessment and revenue be
less than the cost of the district operations. This policy was
to continue until the fund balance reduced back to the 1988 level
($1,089,118).
Adoption of the attached resolution is to provide approximately
50% of the funds necessary to continue the operation of the
City's street lighting system for one year. The proposed
assessment for each assessment unit in FY 1993-94 is $16.84.
This is the same amount as last year. The assessment unit is
based on the actual number of dwelling units that are on a
property (or equivalent for vacant and commercial properties) .

Council considered the proposed revision to the Smoking Ordinance
at their June 8 meeting. In the absence of any public
opposition, the Council introduced the Ordinance.
On June 22 the Ordinance again appeared before Council for
adoption. At that time, since there were a number of citizens
who requested to be heard in opposition, the Council directed
that this matter again be advertised and another Public Hearing
be conducted on July 13, 1993.
Because of the number of Public Hearings scheduled for this
meeting, staff is recommending that the hearing be continued
until July 27, 1993.
Analysis:
The proposed revised Ordinance addresses:
1) A complete smoking ban in City Hall, Police Department,
Fire Department, Community Center (including rental rooms),
City Yard Building and the Alano Club. (Basically all
City -owned buildings).
2) A ban on smoking in all City -owned vehicles.

PURPOSE: TO RECONSIDER THE PLANNING COMMISSION DECISION TO
AUTHORIZE AN ADULT BUSINESS (BOOKSTORE AND
THEATER/ARCADE) SUBJECT TO CONDITIONS
Recommendation
Because of the time needed for the Oil C.U.P. public hearing,
staff is recommending continuing this public hearing to the
meeting of July 27, 1993.
Planning Commission Recommendation
Approval of the C.U.P., subject to the conditions as approved by
the Planning Cotmission on 4/6/93 with added conditions.
Alternative
Approve a substantially more restrictive C.U.P. with all
applicable restrictions of the Adult Ordinance included
(including no doors on individual booths, and limiting hours from
10:00 A.M. to 10:00 P.M.) and additional requirements for
improvements.
Background
On July 6, 1993 the Planning Commission reconsidered this item as
requested by Council, and recommended some additional conditions
to their previous approval. These additions include imposing the
new standard adult business conditions for security and lighting,
that no group theater be allowed unless everything else is
brought up to code (except parking), and to require separate
doors to the 1 adult and non -adult uses with no interior
connections.
For further background please refer to the attached minutes and
reports.
Analysis
The City Council directed the Commission to further consider and
address the following: _
� N
I
- 1 -
9
• .iSJrp Cfi. Tt' : ehr. ,„
Separate non -adult and adult bookstores in same building
(concern: that youths can come in regular book and magazine
area in front --should there be separate entrances?)
Hours of operation --unusual for a theater
Prohibition of any doors on
individual video viewing booths
Change of use to group theatre (does this change warrant
upgrades for added bathroom, fire doors, bringing parking up
to code, other building and safety codes ?)
- Security/Supervision (should a
all times)
security guard be present at
- Why not impose all standard conditions of adult ordinance?
These issues are discussed separately in the attached P.C. staff
report dated June 1, 1993.
The Commission reconsidered these issues, and is now recommending
that the Council require separate doors for the adult and
non -adult portions of the business, that the group theater not be
allowed unless the business is brought up to the current code
requirements, except parking, and to impose current standard

On April 5, 1993, a letter dated April 1, 1993, was received from
Mr. Roger Bacon requesting that the City consider the removal of
approximately 100 feet of red curb along the west side of Aubrey
Court. A second letter, dated March 30, 1993, was also received
on April 5th from Gerald Drury, M.S., D.D.S., a tenant of Park
Pacific Shopping Center, who wrote to support Mr. Bacon's
request. This area is adjacent to the second level of the Park
Pacific Shopping Center. Copies of both letters are attached.
Analysis:
Aubrey Court is a short street that serves as access to the
second level of the Parking Pacific Shopping Center and
residences to the north and east.
Aubrey Court is a typical, narrow, City of Hermosa Beach street.
Between Aviation Boulevard and Montgomery Street it has an
overall curb to curb width of 20 feet. North of Montgomery to
the small cul de sac to the west the street is only 16 feet wide.
Curb parking is prohibited all along the west side throughout the
sections previously described.
A standard moving lane for one direction of traffic is twelve
(12) feet. Lane widths of eleven (11) and ten (10) feet have
been used successfully in low traffic volume, residential type
conditions.
A parking lane or area defined for curb parking is usually eight
(8) feet wide.
If a curb parking area is allowed in the upper section of Aubrey
Court, from Montgomery Street to the north, then the available
width for two way traffic will be approximately eight (8) feet.
- 1 -
11
This is totally unacceptable by any recognized standards or
guidelines.
The lower section of Aubrey Court is slightly wider as stated
earlier. Curb parking removal would allow an available street
width of 12 feet for two way traffic. This is also not
acceptable.
The lower reaches do afford a slightly larger area of pavement to
get around a parked truck or car.
The City Fire and police representatives have driven a fire truck
up Aubrey Court and assumed a parked vehicle along the west side.
They were able to pass the assumed vehicle by driving partially
on the sidewalk.
City staff is well aware that there are many narrow streets
within our City that have curb parking on one side and have a
very narrow, two way piece of pavement left for traffic.
Montgomery Drive between Aubrey Court and Ocean Avenue is a
typical example. Portions of Loma Avenue are also in this
category.
All of the above locations are existing conditions that serve
residential users as opposed to the loading and commercial uses
planned for this section. Nonetheless, the curb parking and
loading area along the west side of Aubrey is needed.
Currently, there isn't any room on the second level of the
shopping center to load trucks and it is structurally not able to
accommodate the truck weight. Trucks now illegally park in the
red zone on Aubrey adjacent to Aviation.
Thus, the need for additional parking to serve the shopping
center uses is to be weighed against the inception of an unsafe
substandard travel width on a very low volume residential street.
Emergency access for fire and police would have to use the
sidewalk under some conditions in order to reach the upper
section of Aubrey Court.
The City Traffic Engineer's position is that curb parking not be
provided in the section from Montgomery Street northerly under
any circumstances due to the severe narrow width.
The City Traffic Engineer also believes that the lower section,
while slightly wider is still substandard and should not have
curb parking.
It is also suggested that the City attorney address the liability
to the City of placing such parking and/or loading along Aubrey
Court and leaving the two way travel width in a substandard
condition.
=xr-rrosrx •_ �.
Alternatives:
1. Provide truck loading zone only along south section of Aubrey
Court
2. Provide one hour or two hour parking along the southerly
section of Aubrey Court.

Re: Parking on West side of Aubrey Court.
Thank you for meeting me Monday morning
to view the much needed 100 feet of parking
spaces north of our upstairs driveway. As I
indicated to you, the tenants occuping the
Suites on the second level, receive their
deliveries from Aubrey Court. The deliveries
consist of oxygen, and nitric oxide gas in
heavy metal cannisters, U.P.S., various
bottled water trucks, air conditioning
maintenance trucks, etc.
None of the above trucks are allowed on the
upper deck because said deck is not engineered
for their heavy weight. Therefore, I am
requesting that 100 feet north of the curb
on the west side of Aubrey Court, be painted
-green. This will afford additional parking for
the trucks and also can be used for the
handicapped. As it now exists, the trucks
park in the red zone.
Please respond as soon as possible.
Sincerely,
\.,

at that time, there was parking on the west side
of Aubrey Court and it was nonrestricted. Several
years ago, the City of Hermosa Beach prohibited
parking on the entire west side of Aubrey Court.
As our business and the rest of the businesses at
Ralphs Shopping Center have increased,our demand
for more parking has placed a burden on the ex-

Re: Parking on West side of Aubrey Court
Dear Mr. McDonald;
Per my previous request approximately 60 days ago, I am
herein formally requesting the elimination of the red
curb no parking zone from the north side of my driveway
on Aubrey Court to a point northward of approximately
160 feet. This no parking on west side of Aubrey Court
was taken away from me some years ago without any consultation
with the City.of Hermosa Beach Public Works staff.
With the rapid growth of Ralphs Grocery Co. Store #202,
Hermosa Beach and my upstairs Suite Tenants, Di. Tim Stackis,
Dr. John Shafer, Allstate Insurance, my office and Dr. Gerald
Drury's office, we need more parking spaces.
Therefore I am requesting the removal of the red curb markings
beginning at the north side of my Aubrey Court driveway to
4 point of 160 feet and to repaint said curb green with
limited parking from 7:00 AM to 5:00 PM.
I am looking forward to meeting Mr. Edward Ruzak June 15, 1993
at 10:00 AM at the site in question, and yourself to resolve
this problem.
Please confirm and respond to this request as soon as
possible.
Yours truly,

Honorable Mayor and Members of Regular Meeting of
the Hermosa Beach City Council July 13, 1993
REQUEST TO APPROVE ADDITIONAL CIVIL SERVICE BOARD REVIEW OF CLASS
SPECIFICATIONS FOR COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT/CODE ENFORCEMENT
DIRECTOR AND CITY PLANNER
Recommendation:
It is recommended that Council return the attached Class
Specifications for Community Development & Code Enforcement
Director and City Planner to the Civil Service Commission for
further review. -
Background:
As part of the 93/94 budget, Council directed the consolidation
of the Building & Safety Department and the Planning Department.
A new Community Development and Code Enforcement Department is to
be developed which will be comprised of (1) a planning division
and (2) a building & safety division.
The consolidation requires the elimination of both the Planning
Director and Building & Safety Director positions. Although not
directly related to the consolidation a Building Inspector and
the Assistant Planner position have also been eliminated. To
replace the two eliminated Director positions, a position of
Director of Community Development & Code Enforcement was
authorized. A City Planner position, which would be a division
head level position was also authorized as part of the
reorganization. Attached is an organizational chart depicting
the changes.
On June 28, 1993 the Civil Service Board was requested to approve
the attached Class Specifications for Community Development &
Code Enforcement Director and City Planner. At that meeting the
Civil Service Commission did not approve the class
specifications, but returned them to staff for further revisions.
Specifically, the Board is uncomfortable with the consolidation
of the departments and wants to better understand the function of
the new Director position and ensure that responsibility for each
of the two divisions (Building and Planning) is evenly
represented in the class specification.
Since the Council has previously directed staff to proceed with
the consolidation, staff is seeking authorization to postpone
implementation until the Civil Service Board has another
opportunity to review and approve the necessary class
specifications.
- 1 -
Analysis:
The new class specification for Community Development and Code
Enforcement Director which was presented to the Civil Service
Board was basically developed by combining the existing
specifications for the positions of Building & Safety Director
and Planning Director. The class specification for City Planner
was prepared from a review of other City's similar
specifications. Copies of both class specifications are attached
as well as a matrix which contrasts the existing specifications
with the proposed.
If the Council allows the Civil Service Board to further review
these class specifications, that review will occur at their July
21st meeting. If approved by the Board, both specifications will
return to the council on July 27th.
No appointment can be made to either position until the Council
approves a class specification and a salary range for each
position.
Alternatives:
1. Approve the class specifications as presented and establish
the salary range for the CD&CE Director at $5,760 for top step
(represents a 4% increase above current Building & Safety
Director - 2% above Planning Director) and City Planner salary
range as $4,160 for top step (represents 15% above current
Associate Planner).
2. Provide specific input regarding the class specification for
consideration by the Civil Service Board in their review.
3. Delay or withdraw direction to proceed with consolidation of
the Planning and Building departments.

TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN:
I would like to recommend the appointment of Patty E er er to the Hermosa
b
Beach Recreation and Parks Commission. There are three primary reasons
for my support of Ms. Egerer's appointment:
1. Unlike most of us, Ms. Egerer is a native of Hermosa Beacl .
Her grandfather owned one of the first businesses in the city, in the
early 1900's. Her love of the city, and her dedication to its
environment as it serves its citizens. is obvious.
2. - Ms. Egerer holds a college degree .n the field of Recreation
Planning and Development.
3. Ms. Egerer has considerable experience in the development of
recreational programs which serve a wide public constituency.
For these reasons, and because she is a citizen who sincerely wants to
contribute to city government, I strongly urge her appointment to this
commission.

Dear Selection Committee:
I am responding to the opening for Parks, Recreation and Community Resources Commissioner.
My professional background includes over nineteen years as a licensed Landscape Architect with
the international_ firm of Sasaki Associates, Inc. (formerly POD, Inc..). My experienceincludes
involvement in all aspects of design, .development, and improvement of many parks and
recreation facilities. As a Principal in the firm, I am responsible for office management, staff
supervision, business development, budget preparation, and specific project design, development,
and construction administration.
My specific skills include the ability to work closely with people. I have conducted public park
workshops, presented numerous park plans to City Commissions and City Councils and
supervised an office staff of over fourteen professionals. I am currently working closely with
the Hermosa Beach, Parks, Recreation and Community Resources Advisory Commission to assist
them in the development of the South School Site. A number of years ago while a homeowner
in Manhattan Beach, I chaired the Ad Hoc Tree Committee for the City of Manhattan Beach
which recommended guidelines for tree removal and replacement city-wide.
With the experience gained in private practice, I feel I am an excellent choice to fill the position
on the Commission. I look forward to the opportunity to meet with you personally in the near
future and appreciate your consideration of my application.

RAYMOND LEVERT, LEVERT INVESTMENT ENTERPRISES, INC.
TO ADOPT A RESOLUTION APPROVING FINAL MAP FOR A 2 -
UNIT CONDOMINIUM PROJECT
Recommendation -
Staff recommends approval of Final Parcel Map #22156 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, at their meeting of June 15, 1993, gran-
ted a two month extension of said Vesting Tentative Parcel Map to
August 15, 1993.
On May 19, 1992 and November 19, 1991, the Planning Commission
granted six month extensions, respectfully, on each request for
extension of said Vesting Tentative Parcel Map.
On May 15, 1990, the Planning Commission approved a Conditional
Use Permit for a two unit condominium project and Vesting Tenta-
tive Map, allowing the construction of two units of approximately
2,500 square feet each. The project was approved subject to a
condition that revised elevations be submitted for review by the
commission. The Commission approved the final revision at their
meeting of June 19, 1990.
Analysis
The staff has reviewed the Final Map and found it substantially
consistent with the Vesting Tentative Parcel Map approved by the
Planning Commission and in conformance with the State Subdivision
Map Act.

Staff Recommendation
Approve the C.U.P. subject to the conditions in the attached

Background
At the meeting of June 1, 1993, the Planning Commission approved
the requested C.U.P. and recommended approval of the subject text
amendments and addenda to the EIR. In regards to the C.U.P., the
- 1 -
Commission changed and added several conditions to those
recommended by staff.
The applicant appealed the decision of the Commission, expressing
concerns about several of the new conditions imposed by the
Commission.
For further background please refer to the attached Planning
Commission staff reports.
HISTORY
In 1984, two oil drilling exceptions were approved by the voters.
Ordinance No. 84-758 exempted the city maintenance yard from a
drilling prohibition, and allows the city to drill into the
tidelands and other onshore areas within the city. To the extent
that monies can be diverted from the tidelands trust, such monies
will be used for open space and parkland purposes.
Once the ballot measure was approved, the city began drafting an
oil code to regulate oil and gas development by new developers.
Eventually, a comprehensive oil code was adopted regulating new
oil and gas development. Any driller must obtain a conditional
use permit from the city to drill on the voter -approved site.
'After the oil code was completed, the City filed an application
with the State Lands 'Commission to allow for oil and gas
drilling. The Commission required an E.I.R. prior to application
approval.
The Final Environmental Impact Report was certified by the City
Council on May 8, 1990, which included several required
mitigation measures to reduce or eliminate almost all
environmental impacts, and a Statement of Overriding
Considerations was adopted in regards to unavoidable impacts.
On May 8, 1990 the City Council also adopted a change to the
project to consolidate the oil drilling and oil production on the
city maintenance yard site, thus excluding the South School
property from the project.
On May 8, 1990 the City Council also adopted amendments to the
zoning ordinance to make oil development a permitted use in the
M-1 zone, and to allow an exception to the 35' height limit for a
temporary period of time for oil operations.
Analysis
Extensive analysis of this project has already been provided in
the certified EIR, and the attached Planning Commission Staff
Reports. Prior to making a decision on this matter, the Council
members must acknowledge that they have reviewed the EIR.
The Planning Commission recommended several changes and additions
to the conditions that were recommended by staff, which included
the following more notable changes:
- Limit use of workover rigs to 60 days a year instead of 90
- Require that drilling be completed within 3 years
- 2 -
- Require a Property Value Protection Plan
- Route truck traffic to and from the south only, temporarily
making Valley Drive a two-way street
- Require planting of 20 -foot high trees on the greenbelt
- Require a 16 -foot high perimeter wall instead of 12 feet
- No exceptions to any conditions for "emergencies"
- Require the perimeter wall to contain a spill
- Require several additional studies and monitoring programs
for review by the Planning Commission
Attached is a fully inclusive list of the Commission's
recommendations -for changes to the conditions of approval with
recommendations and comments of staff on each item. While staff
supports some technical changes and clarification of some items,
as recommended by the Commission, staff does not support most of
the changes and additions.
Also attached are the responses of MacPherson Oil Company to the
recommendations of the Commission.
TEXT AMENDMENTS
The change of the grade definition in the Oil Code is to allow
the height of the storage tanks (which are limited to 16 feet) to
be measured from the grade of the site and not from the lowered
grade of the excavated well. Thus, while the overall height of
the tanks with appurtenances will be greater than the maximum
allowed 16 feet, they will measure less than 16 feet from the
finished grade of the site.
The other change to the oil code is to eliminate the 5 -foot fence
setback requirement from the property line. The 5 -foot setback
requirement does not make sense on commercially or industrially
zoned property, as there is no setback requirements for
buildings. The only reason for providing a setback is"to provide
room for a landscape buffer. In regards to the subject project a
10 -foot setback is provided on the more visible south and east
sides of the property.
The amendments to the zoning code, which otherwise bans barbed
wire fencing and does not specifically permit chain link fencing,
is necessary to allow security fencing, to comply with the State
Division of Oil and Gas (DOG) requirements. Using chain link
during the test phase makes sense since there is no need for a
permanent wall during the test phase when there will be a 30'
high sound wall.
EIR ADDENDA
Amendments to the EIR are recommended in the attached EIR Addenda
to address the impacts of some minor modifications to the
project, as follows:
- 3 -
1. The temporary relocation of the City Yard during the test
phase
2. The temporary chain link fence around the 30' high sound wall
during the test phase
3. Increased height of storage tanks, with appurtenances
included and the reduced depth of the tank basin
4. The elimination of landscaping along the north and wast sides
of the site during the test phase.
These changes are minor and will not cause significant impact and
thus do not require_recircualtion of the EIR, pursuant to Section
15164 of the California Environmental Qualit Act.

3. Recommend amending the EIR pursuant to the attached "Addenda

Alternative 2
Forward the project to the city Council with a recommendation for

Background
At the meeting of May 4, 1993, the Planning Commission continued
this item to afford themselves more time to review all the
necessary materials, and further requested staff to return with
additional information.
For further background please refer to previous Planning Commission
staff report.
Analysis
The C.U.P. for this project is somewhat different than a typical
C.U.P. since an EIR has been prepared and the issues surrounding
this project have been extensively studied and resolved by way of
mitigation measures. Those mitigation measures are part of this
C.U.P. Therefore unlike other C.U.P.s which are both the
instrument for studying the problems, and implementing the method
of solving the problems, this C.U.P. is essentially the
implementation only.
However, the Planning commission may find that additional problems
exist and additional conditions need to be imposed. The City staff
have already imposed several additional conditions beyond what the
EIR required. Several of those conditions require subsequent
plans, i.e., detailed plans which will be examined by certified
engineers in various fields, e.g. the Building Department is
requiring a complete soil analysis as well as other plans. It is
important to recognize that the C.U.P. is only the conceptual plan
permit and is only the first step in obtaining a Building Permit
which must be obtained prior to any construction. A list of
permits required from all agencies is attached.
PROPERTY VALUE LOSS
A concern that has been raised relates to property value loss for
those properties within proximity of the oil development site.
2
Staff investigated this issue and was informed that the urban drill
site in Huntington Beach had provided a trust fund for any possible
loss. The trust fund was a requirement of Huntington beach's
C.U.P. No legitimate claims against the trust funds were ever
made. It should be noted that any property owner who has suffered
a devaluation can make a legal claim through a court action.
TEXT AMENDMENT IN REGARDS TO FENCE SETBACKS
The attached resolution to amend the oil code has been modified to
include an amendment to eliminate the 5 -foot setback requirement
from the property line. The 5 -foot setback requirement does not
make sense on commercially or industrially zoned property, as there
is no setback requirement for buildings. The only reason for
providing a setback is to provide room for a landscape buffer. In
regards to the subject project a 10 -foot setback is provided on the
more visible south and east sides of the property.
DATA
A variety of data have been collected by the staff for submission
to the Planning Commission. Some of that data have already been
submitted. The remaining data are attached. The following data
have been provided:
1. Certified Environmental Impact Report
2. Letter from Beverly Hills High School regarding adjacent
oil project
3. Information regarding "redlining"
4. Conditions of approval from the following Cities:
a. Torrance
b. Huntington Beach
c. Beverly Hills
5. Trust fund document for potential property devaluation
6. List of necessary permits from all agencies
7. Draft Hazard Footprint
8. City oil code
9. City / Macpherson Oil Lease Agreement
CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL
Staff has examined the other City's conditions of approval noted
above, and believes that in some respects, all the same concerns
found in the other City's conditions have been addressed either
through the proposed conditions, "subsequent plan" requirements, or
the City's oil development code except for potential property
devaluation which can be addressed through legal action in the
courts.
However, as stated previously, the Planning Commission has the
right to impose additional, or modify, conditions as deemed
appropriate, but the Planning Commission may not in this instance,
3
•
c
unlike other C.U.P.s, reduce, or eliminate recommended conditions
which are imposed as a result of the mitigation measures found in
the EIR.

environmental impacts, and a Statement of Overriding
Considerations was adopted in regards to unavoidable impacts.
On May 8, 1990 the City Council also adopted a change to the
project to consolidate the oil drilling and oil production on the
city maintenance yard site, thus excluding the South School
property from the project.
Ori May 8, 1990 the City Council also adopted amendments to the
zoning ordinance to make oil development a permitted use in the
M-1 zone, and to allow an exception to the 35' height limit for a
temporary period of time for oil operations.

Project Description
The proposed oil development will be constructed on the City
maintenance yard, including walls, storage facilities and
production facilities. Upon successful testing of up to three
(3) exploratory oil wells, up to 27 additional (30 total) oil
wells will be drilled. The oil wells will either be
directionally or slant drilled to onshore or offshore bottom hole
locations. Drilling will be accomplished with an electrically
powered drill rig and support equipment, the drill rig will be
about 135' high, acoustically wrapped for sound proofing and
aesthetically treated to blend with the surrounding structures.
During drilling phases the site will be surrounded with a 30 -foot
high acoustical wall. When wells are in the production phase the
site will be urbanized and improved with perimeter masonry walls
and landscaping.
A pipeline will be constructed within the Valley Drive
right-of-way to transport the crude oil product to a nearby
refinery outside the City limits.
The functions of the City maintenance yard will be temporarily
relocated during the exploratory and testing phases, although
some of the functions will be continued on site. Upon successful
testing of the exploratory wells the maintenance yard will be
permanently and completely relocated.
For further information on the project please refer to the
attached "Question and Answers on the Hermosa Beach Oil Drilling
Program," prepared by staff in October 1991.
Analysis and Discussion
The applicant is requesting approval of conditional use permits
to authorize both the oil drilling operation and the construction
of the oil pipeline. The C.U.P. is required pursuant to the Oil
Code. The project must conform to the provisions in the oil code
as well as incorporating all mitigation measures in the certified
EIR.
The applicant has submitted conceptual plans to depict the
different phases of the project: Phase I, the testing and
exploratory phase (Phase I drilling/construction, and Phase I
production) which if successful would bring on Phase II, the
operation phase (Phase II drilling/construction, and Phase II
production). The plans include landscaping plans for each phase,
and typicals for the storage tanks and the oil well pumps.
A site map and cross-sections have also been submitted to depict
the location for the proposed pipeline.
As you can see, providing all the drilling, production, and
storage operations on this small site has been rather difficult.
As such, some slight deviations to the what was presented in the
EIR are being proposed. These are as follows:
-3- -11^
Landscaping around the outside of the entire perimeter wall
is no longer being shown. It is limited to the east and
southern sides.
- The excavation wells for storage tanks are proposed at a 6
foot depth rather than 8 feet.
- While submerged electrical pumps are still the preferred
option for the production phase, the oil developer has
indicated that above ground beam pumps may be a necessary
alternative given the production profile of the oil wells.
Typicals of these alternative pumps have been included. This
results in a potential for a more visible 11 -foot high pump
on the site rather than hidden pumps.
- The finished grade of the site is higher than what was
originally -envisioned, thus the operations are not hidden
below the perimeter wall as much.
- The height of the tanks, including appurtenances extend above
the height of the perimeter wall.
-Otherwise, these plans generally show that the applicant can
implement the project consistent with the EIR and the Oil Code.
Staff is proposing adding some additional conditions to address
these modifications. First, staff believes that with the tank
height and the addition of the beam pumps, that the wall should
be required to be 16 feet high, or mature 16 -foot high trees be
required at planting, to effectively block the view of the oil
facilities from the residences on the hillside to the west.
Also, since no landscaping is being proposed outside the wall on
the east and north sides staff is recommending a condition that
at least climbing vines be provided along the exposed portions of
these walls to soften the impact.
Text Amendments
The proposed text amendments are necessary for the implementation
of the project as submitted.
The change of the grade definition in the oil code is to allow
the height of the storage tanks (which are limited to 16.feet in
height) to be measured from the grade of the site, and not
require them to be measured from the lowered grade of the
excavated well. Thus, while height of the storage tanks with
appurtenances will be greater than the maximum allowed 16 feet,
they will measure less than 16 feet from the finished grade of
most of the site.
The amendment to the zoning code, which otherwise bans barbed
wire fencing, is necessary to allow security fencing, to comply
with the State Division of Oil and Gas (DOG) requirements.
The chain link exception is requested also, Since there is no
need for a permanent wall during the test phase when there will
be a 30' high sound wall in place.
t c
Addenda to EIR
Amendments to the EIR are recommended in the attached Addenda to
address some minor modifications in the project as follows:
1. The impacts of the temporary relocation of the City Yard
during the testing phase of the project.
2. The temporary chain link fencing around the 30' high sound
attenuation wall during the test phase.
3. The increased height of the storage tanks when the
appurtenances are included, and the reduced depth of the
basin where they are installed.
4. The elimination of landscaping along the north and west sides
of the site during the test phase.
These changes are minor and will not cause significant impact,
and thus do not require recirculation of the EIR, pursuant to
Section 15164 of CEQA.
Recommended Conditions of Approval
In response to the impacts noted within the E.I.R. and also those
which the staff believed could occur, a list of tentative final
mitigation measures have been developed over the past two years
and are recommended as conditions of approval.
These conditions refine and quantify the mitigation measures
found within the E.I.R. so that the enforceability is improved,
and so that impacts can be reduced to quantifiable levels and
therefore can be considered reduced to a level of insignificance.
Further the conditions/mitigation measures have been made more
stringent in cases where the staff believe impacts could be
effectively eliminated.
As noted above, staff also is recommending a modification of the
conditions to require a 16 -foot high wall instead of only a 12'
high wall for the final production phase.
Pipeline Development
Volume III of the EIR, dated February, 1990, appendix C,
describes the potential impacts of the proposed pipeline. It
also provides a list of mitigation measures. Staff has examined
these measures and have found then generally adequate. With only
some minor changes, the measures have been included with staff's
recommended conditions of approval.
Temporary City Yard
Attached is a memorandum from Charles MacDonald, Public Works
Director which sets forth the latest recommendations for the
temporary operation of the City Yard during the testing phase of
the project.
f C
,r:,,c r. As depicted on the plans, the existing "Butler" building will
continue to be used at the existing Maintenance Yard location in
conjunction with the testing phase of the oil project. Access
into the building will be available into the building without
having to enter the oil site.
In addition, the City will rent a vacant building for storage,
and rent a vacant lot for other operations. The City will also
use a small portion of Southern California Edison's property in
Redondo Beach for overflow vehicle and gasoline service.
This partial temporary "move" of the Maintenance Yard functions
was not addressed in the EIR and is thus included in the Addenda
to the EIR. Given that it is only a temporary relocation of some
of the existing functions, the environmental impacts will not be
significant.
Permanent Relocation of City Yard
Volume IV, appendix B, of the EIR is a "Program" EIR for the
possible alternative permanent location for the City Yard. A
program EIR is not as detailed as a standard EIR and is used, as
in this case, when there is uncertainty about some of the
variables involved.
Another addendum to the EIR will be necessary in the future, once
the permanent location for the City Yard is determined, and a
conceptual design has been developed. The addendum will further
refine the impacts and mitigation measures.

Staff Recommendation and Comments Regarding P.C. Recommended
Changes to Conditions of Approval -
P.C. Recommended Changes to original staff recommendation are
noted below (added text is underlined, text to be deleted is
overstriked). Staff's recommendations and comments follow in
bold text.
SECTION I - GENERAL
2. If the project cannot comply with eration standards
established by these conditions approval, after two /
warnings the operation shall be fined and/or shut down
through permit revocation by the City Council and Planning
Commission,
•
RECOMMENDATION: Do not make c ange •
The added text would add another layer of review to the
revocation process, if it ever becomes necessary. Staff does not
believe another layer of review is necessary.
Deleting the exception for noise problems, would cause a fine or
shutdown of the drilling rather than giving the operator a chance
to work out a reasonable solution while continuing operation.
Staff believe this exception is needed to permit monitoring of
sound levels while the equipment is in operation and to determine
the proper method to attenuate the sound. It may take several
monitoring sessions and installation of more than one piece of
equipment to meet the noise standards.
4. The maximum number of days the workover rigs shall be on-site
shall be 90 dayc per year 60 days per year, and the workover
rig shall only be operated weekdays 8:00 A.M. to 6:00 P.M.
The workover rig cannot be operated on holidays, even if that
holiday falls on a weekday. A log/schedule of the days that
workover rigs will be operated on site shall be submitted to
the City for monitoring purposes.
RECOMMENDATION: Do Not Make Change
Staff does not see any reason to reduce the number of days a
workover rig can be operated. These rigs are very expensive to
operate and are thus used only when absolutely necessary. The
EIR notes that each drill would typically need only 8 to 10 hours
workover each year, and notes that no adverse impacts would
occur as long as their use is limited to daytime hours. There is
no mention of limiting the number of days per year. The 90 day
limit is more restrictive than the EIR agreed to by staff and the
operator. If a well repair cannot be made because a 60 day limit
may be exceeded the well would remain idle and thus could
negatively impact royalties.
10. Three (3) copies of final building plans including site,
elevation, and floor plans shall be submitted for review and
approval by the Planning Director and the Planning Commission
prior to the issuance of any Building Permit.
RECOMMENDATION: Do Not Make Change
This addition would add another layer of review by the Planning
Commission of very technical plans. This is not necessary and
would only cause further delays. The Planning Director will
review for consistency with the submitted plans and compliance
with the C.U.P. The more technical reviews will be conducted by
other city staff and city hired consultants (paid for by the plan
check fees) as part of the plan check process.
12. All wells must be drilled and completed within three (3)
years from the start of drilling of the first exploratory
well. A maximum of 30 wells is allowed for the project.
RECOMMENDATION: Do Not Add Condition
The drilling of exploratory well may take 1-3 months, the lease
agreement permits testing of these exploratory wells for up to 9
months. Phase II construction will take approximately 9
additional months. Drilling of 30 production wells and 4 water
disposal wells at 3 to 4 weeks each will take approximately 26-34
months. Total anticipated time period is thus 45-55 months.
While 3 years may be possible as a best case scenario, requiring
a 3 year deadline seems unrealistic and if imposed could
negatively impact potential royalties.
The additional 4 water disposal wells are necessary so the City
and County sewer and storm drain system will not be impacted by
this project.
13. The permittee shall submit a property value protection plan
which shall be implemented prior to drilling. Said plan shall
establish an "impacted zone" based on noise, view, odor and
other potential problems; set forth procedures for property
value appraisals, including provisions for arbitration; and
set up a method and funding mechanism that will ensure
re -imbursement of property value lossesattributable to the
oil development project. This plan shall be approved by both
the Planning Commission and City Council prior to the
issuance of any Building Permits.
RECOMMENDATION: No comment
A property value protection plan was not studied as part of the
EIR nor discussed during the bidding process or lease agreement
discussions. It has not been demonstrated in the EIR or
elsewhere that this project with the mitigation measures will
negatively impact property values. Cleanup of the site from its
- 2 -
current status will occur with the installation of decorative
wall and landscaping. In the past the City has not held a
developer or project sponsor responsible for possible loss of
property value of adjacent properties. Consequently, staff has
no factual data to suggest that a property value protection plan
is necessary. A condition may be added that the applicant
finance a study of this matter by a qualified consultant picked
by the City to determine if property value loss may occur.
SECTION 2. LAND USE DEVELOPMENT
2. Prior to construction and prior to obtaining building permits
for oil production, a complete soil analysis shall be
performed, reviewed by staff, and action requirements
reported to -the Planning Commission for review, prior to the
issuance of building permits.
RECOMMENDATION: Do Not Change
Soil analyses are appropriately reviewed by the building
department or consulting engineers with expertise to review a
soils and geological report. The operator will pay for this
review at the time of plan check. It is not necessary, and will
result in unnecessary delays, for the Commission to review this
technical information.
3. Not more than five tanks shall be installed, and shall be
submerged in a concrete basin which shall contain 1 1/2 times
the volume of the tank fluids, or as required by the State
Division of Oil and Gas whichever is greater.
RECOMMENDATION: Do Not Change
It is not possible to spill 1 1/2 times the volume of the
tanks.The 1 1/2 times standard is taken from the EIR, which also
states "as required by the Department of Oil and Gas". Based on
discussions and further information provided by the applicant,
the D.O.G. accepts the standards of the fire and safety code
which requires the volume of the largest tank plus 10%. Staff
added the second sentence to allow a lesser containment if that
was acceptable to D.O.G.
8a. All Electrical machinery where possible shall have a minimum
coefficient of efficiency of 0.75.
RECOMMENDATION: Do Not Change
The phrase "where possible" was added to recognize that not all
electronically operated equipment will be able to achieve the
0.75 standard. For example, electrically operated submersible
pumps, which are environmentally the best type, could not be used
if this standard was rigidly applied.
10. All studies and analysis required by any section of this
conditional use permit and the Environmental Impact Report as
a mitigation measure must be completed by an independent
contractor selected by the City and submitted to the City
prior to the issuance of any permit for commencing any work
including site preparation. This includes, but is not
limited to: soil analyses, subsidence, fire, safety, noise
studies and prevention plans, hazardous footprint, blowout
prevention, street pavement study, risk assessment and any
other study required by the various State agencies regulating
this project. All recommended actions are to be taken in a
timely manner.
RECOMMENDATION: Do Not Add Condition
In general, this condition seems reasonable, however it is
unnecessary, makes the City responsible, and is contrary to past
practice. Selecting firms to conduct these various studies is
more appropriately done by the operator in consideration of their
expertise and their price. All these reports will be reviewed
for adequacy by governmental agencies, or their consultants if
'necessary, with the cost of conducting this review paid for by
the permittee at the time of submitting plans and studies as
required by this C.U.P. Staff recommends adding a condition
different than the above which would read:
All studies, reports, plans and analysis required by any
section of this C.U.P. or required by law shall be submitted
to and approved by the City prior to the issuance of any
permit for commencing any work, including site preparation.
An up -front deposit of $10,000 in addition to any required
plan check fees shall be submitted at the time of submitting
such studies, reports, plans or analysis for the City to draw
upon to cover the City's cost of hiring the appropriate
expert or specialist, if necessary, to review these
submittals for adequacy. Any amount of the deposit not used
would be returned to the permittee, and any additional costs
the City spends over $10,000 shall be re-imbursed by the
permittee.
SECTION 3. PUBLIC SAFETY
1. The site shall be enclosed by a solid masonry or concrete
wall with solid gates during all operations, protecting both
against public entry, observation and attraction. A chain
link fence to provide security is acceptable only through the
exploratory phase. The walled enclosure shall be designed
and gasketed to contain a spill of oil or any other liquids.
RECOMMENDATION: Do not make change
It would be virtually impossible to seal all the man doors and
vehicle gates to the ensure they are liquid tight. The site will
be designed so that all drainage or spills will flow away from
the main doors and vehicle gates to permanently installed catch
basins. The secondary containment area is provided for this very
purpose.
8. An Oil Spill Prevention Control Countermeasures (SPCC) Plan
and an Oil Drilling Contingency Plan will be prepared for the
project and approved by the State Division of Oil and Gas,
the South Coast Air Quality Management District, and the. City
of Hermosa Beach Fire, and Building and Safety Departments.
RECOMMENDATION: Make the change to clarify which departments in
the City would review this plan. Also, staff is recommending
eliminating the SCAQMD as they would not review an SPCC plan.
10. A soils engineering report and engineering geology report,
prepared by -a licensed geologist and engineer, shall be
prepared and reviewed in conjunction with the plans for all
physical improvements. Said report shall address potential
seismic hazards, such as liquefaction, due to soils or
geologic conditions. All recommendations contained in said
reports shall be incorporated in the construction drawings.
RECOMMENDATION: Make the change as this is a normal requirement
for projects of this size.
SECTION 4. FIRE SAFETY
6. The drillsite and production facility shall be protected by
automatic fire detection sensors and suppression systems.
The fire supression systems shall include a tank -cooling
sprinkler system.
RECOMMENDATION: Make the change.
SECTION 5. SUBSIDENCE
5. The operator shall prepare a plan outlining the method to
monitor subsidence as well as any corrective measures for
settlements in excess of 0.10 feet. The plan shall be
reviewed by an independent engineer and approved by the
Director of Public Works.
RECOMMENDATION: Make Change
6. There shall be a bi-annual elevation survey for the project
area to monitor and evaluate any potential settlement unless
the independent engineer's analysis suggests that annual
monitoring is sufficient. If the survey data indicates
subsidence, then the driller shall take such action as
provided in the subsidence control plan as approved by the
Director of Public Works
RECOMMENDATION: Do not change per P.C., modify as noted below
- 5 -
These surveys are expensive to perform. Requiring more that one
survey per year_is not necessary, given the slight probability of
any ground settlement, and the likely slow speed of any
settlement should it occur. Staff however, also recommends
addition that a subsidence control plan when needed, shall
include more frequent monitoring and shall include monitoring for
subsidence along the pipeline route.
SECTION 6. VEHICLE TRAFFIC AND CIRCULATION
4. Project related_truck travel shall be restricted to specific
truck routes and access points to be reviewed by the Public
Works Department and ultimately reviewed and approved by the
Commission. Unless otherwise approved by the Planning
Commission, both incoming and outgoing traffic is to be
routed on Valley Boulevard south of the subject site via
Herondo Avenue, requiring a temporary change of Valley Drive
into a two-way street during the exploration and drilling
phase of the project.
RECOMMENDATION: Do Not Make Change
Making the portion of Valley Drive south of 2nd Street available
to two-way traffic has not been studied as part of the EIR for
this project. It would obviously result in additional northbound
through trips at peak rush hours causing a negative impact. As
such, a supplemental EIR would have to be done. Also it would
double the truck trips from the project, causing a greater impact
to the residents south of the project.
The truck route established by the City during the EIR review
process is to use the existing routes whereby the trucks enter
via Pier and Valley, and exit via Valley and Herondo.
6. The number of truck trips shall be limited to a maximum of 36
per day (18 round trips),
RECOMMENDATION: Do not change. And add definition of emergency.
If an emergency situation arises and requires immediate work to
protect health and safety it should be allowed to be corrected.
Staff further recommends a definition of emergency as follows be
included in the C.U.P. for reference.
Supplemental information will be available
prior to public hearing on specific definition
of emergencies.
- 6 -
8.
RECOMMENDATION: Do no change
Required by EIR. Note: no curb appears to need cutting.
11. An evaluation of the structural condition of the existing
pavement shall be performed by a soils engineer on all access
streets and the proposed truck routes prior to commencing any
site preparation or construction and prior to the issuance of
any necessary permits. The evaluation shall include as a
minimum:
a) the number, type, size and weight of trucks for export of
materials or product,
b) the number, type, size and weight of truck deliveries of
building supplies, drilling supplies etc.,
c) the number, type, size and weight of equipment
transported to the site,
d) other associated transportation items,
e) other anticipated loading.
The evaluation shall contain recommendations as to actions
required to maintain said streets and routes in their current
condition throughout the planned development phase and the
planned production phase.
RECOMMENDATION: Make change for clarification purposes
13. The City Council may restrict the use of certain streets,
alleys, or roadways in connection with the permittee's
operations. In the event any street, alley or roadway is
damaged by the permittee's operations, such damages shall be
paid for by the permittee upon demand by the City, and the
failure to pay such damages, being the reasonable cost of the
repair of any such damaged portions, shall be grounds for the
revocation of the permit and the collection of such damages.
RECOMMENDATION: Add the condition
SECTION 8. NOISE / VIBRATION
la. A sound attenuation wall of a minimum of
30 -feet in height shall be provided along the perimeter of
site as shown on plans during oil drilling phases. If this
height is not sufficient, the Planning Commission may require
that the wall be made higher.
RECOMMENDATION: Do not change
- 7 -
After installing the wall at 30 feet, it is not easily made
higher. If noise is a problem, it would be more effective to
control the source, not extending the wall height above the
already very high 30 feet.
4. The drilling rig shall be fully acoustically wrapped and/or
paneled including the ancillary and support equipment to meet
the requirements of the noise ordinance, Section 19.5 of the
Municipal Code.
RECOMMENDATION: Incorporate the change for clarification
purposes
5. Tripping will be restricted to daylight hours only. unlesc
thocc lovcic notcd in tho oil oodo.
RECOMMENDATION: Incorporate the change for clarification
purposes.
7. Well workover rigs shall be operated only between the hours
of 8:00 A.M. and 6:00 P.M. during daytime weekday hours only,
except in an emergency. The exhaust and intake of the diesel
engine (if used on the workover rig) shall be muffled to
.reduce noise to an acceptable limit, as determined by the
Planning Commission. The operator shall use whatever means
-necessary, including but not limited to, enclosing the diesel
engine and rig in acoustic blankets or housing. Workover
rigs used for redrilling and deepening wells shall be
enclosed in the same manner as drilling derricks
RECOMMENDATION: Include the changes except for "as determined by
P.C. and the last sentence. Also add after "except in an
emergency", "as defined by this C.U.P.
Clarifying the time which is considered daytime, muffling
engines, and possible use of acoustic blankets are reasonable
additions to this condition. Compliance with the noise ordinance
and not with the discretion of the Planning Commission seems more
understandable.
8. All oil maintenance equipment, vehicles, and non -electrical
motors shall be equipped with manufacturer approved mufflers
or housed in a sound -proofing device.
RECOMMENDATION: Incorporate the change for clarification
purposes
9. An acoustic study which considers the specific nature of the
site and surrounding topography, including noise level
studies, shall be completed as part of the required studies.
This study shall be prepared by a certified Los Angeles
County engineer and contain any necessary mitigation
measures.
RECOMMENDATION: Do not add the condition
- 8 -
A noise study was already done as part of the EIR. No further
studies should be required. However, the noise study from the
EIR could be submitted to the P.C. for their information and
future reference. Monitoring will conducted as per the
conditions below.
10. Noise monitoring shall be conducted under the supervision of
an independent certified acoustical engineer paid for by the
permittee. Reports shall be submitted to the Planning
Director within three working days after the completion of
each phase of the monitoring. The monitoring shall include
the following:
a. Pre -drilling phase monitoring. Prior to the start of the
drilling phase, noise measurements shall be obtained
during the operation of the specific drilling rig which
has been selected and the measurements shall be related
to those experienced at the nearest residential
boundaries to the drilling site. In addition, the noise
control measures which have been (or will be) applied to
the rig as needed for compliance with the City of Hermosa
Beach noise ordinances shall be identified.
b. Start of Drilling. Noise measurements shall be obtained
during the nighttime hours (10:00 P.M. to 7:00 A.M) for
at least six hours on each of the three nights within the
five day period from the start of the drilling phase.
Monitoring is to occur at the nearest residential
boundary to the actual drilling operation.
c. During the drilling phase. Noise monitoring shall occur
during a six -hour period between the hours from 10:00
P.M. to 7:00 A.M. at least once each month during the
drilling phase of the project. The noise level data
obtained shall be compared to the City of Hermosa Beach
Noise Ordinance standards by the Planning Department.
Where an exceedence of the standards is identified, noise
control measures shall be required.
d. Production phase. Noise measurements shall be obtained
during a six -hour period between the hours from 10:00
P.M. to 7:00 A.M. at least once each year during the
production and completion phase.
RECOMMENDATION: Add the conditions
These conditions are the same as required by the City of
Huntington Beach for noise monitoring.
3. MinimumJ1 36" boxed trees for Phase I and II shall be
adequate in size to create a buffer effect to obscure
visibility of oil production activity. Permanent trees
planted around the perimeter of the site for Phase II shall
be a minimum sixteen (16) feet high at planting unless a
RECOMMENDATION: Do not change
24" inch box trees should be adequate given the number of trees
to be planted, and that they must be 16' high.
8. Trees and low shrubs shall be planted on the "greenbelt" from
8th Street to. Herondo Avenue. The trees shall be
approximately twenty (20) feet tall, spaced close enough to
absorb sound from the site and the street and also to block
the view of the site from the east. Trees shall be planted
to the west of the site for the same purpose. The planting
of these trees shall take please during the exploratory phase
and finished within one year.
RECOMMENDATION: Do not add condition
While of very good intent, this condition seems unnecessary, when
royalties from the project will be going towards improving parks
such as the greenbelt. In regards to planting trees to the west
of the site, the final landscaping plan calls for trees inside
the property line wall (16' in height).
SECTION 10. AESTHETICS
7. A decorative masonry or concrete wall maintained graffiti
free of a minimum of 14-16 feet in height shall be provided;
wall materials shall be reviewed and approved by Planning
Director. During test drilling minimum 6' high fencing shall
be provided.
RECOMMENDATION: Do not change
A 16 -foot high masonry wall will be very expensive, and may not
provide any more shielding than a 12 -wall. The best way to
shield hill -side view is with trees and landscaping which are
already required.
8.
RECOMMENDATION: Do not delete
This conditions goes along with staff's recommendation for a
12 -foot high wall, and would only require the higher 16 -foot wall
if the higher beam pumps are used instead of electrical
submersible pumps.
9. Tanks shall be submerged 6 to 8 8 to 10 feet or more below
grade and will be adjacent to the 1-2- 16 -foot high privacy
wall.
RECOMMENDATION: Do not change
- 10 -
z.-
While the EIR specifies the depth of 8 - 10 feet, as is now being
recommended by the Commission to mitigate aesthetic impacts, the
proposed addenda to the EIR proposes reducing this to 6-8 feet.
This is because dikes over 6 feet deep are considered a safety
hazard for firemen.
10. If the drill derrick remains idle for more than one year,
review and approval by the City Planning Commission or City
Council shall be required, or the derrick shall be
dismantled.
RECOMMENDATION: Incorporate the change.
14. The operator shall diligently and continuously pursue
drilling operations until the wcll•all thirty (30) wells is
are completed or abandoned to the satisfaction of the
Division of Oil and Gas of the state and upon completion or
abandonment shall remove all drilling equipment from the
drill site within 45 days following completion or abandonment
of the well unless otherwise ordered by the Division of Oil
and Gas.
RECOMMENDATION: Incorporate the change, and further revise it to -
state all 34 wells to include the 4 water disposal wells.
15. Prior to any on-site construction or drilling, the masonry
wall, all landscaping and street improvement shall be
installed.
RECOMMENDATION: Do not add condition
This condition does not fit within the intended phasing of this
project. During the exploratory and test phase the 30 -foot high
acoustic wall will be in place. When Phase II is reached the
wall shall be constructed when its known that long-term
production will occur. This phasing is shown on the plan
submittals.
SECTION 11. ODORS/VAPORS/AIR POLLUTION
1. A vapor recovery system shall be installed to recover -9@4a-99%
of hydrocarbon emissions during storage and transfer of crude
oil or the lowest achievable emission rate, whichever is
lower. Newer technology shall be incorporated and installed
during the life of the project as it becomes available and
needed."
RECOMMENDATION: Change standard to 99% - Otherwise no added text
The lowest achievable method may be too expensive to apply to
this project. The project will have to comply with requirements
of Southern California Air Quality Management District if they
change to require better technology. The lease agreement is
based on meeting the requirements of the SCAQMD.
—Zb�
6. A state-of-the-art scrubber, as determined by the City of
Hermosa Beach, shall be employed for the exploratory phase to
eliminate odors from waste gases, and any flame shall be
enclosed.
RECOMMENDATION: Do not change
Again, SCAQMD is the appropriate agency for approving the
appropriate installation and operation of a thermal oxidizer.
The City of Hermosa Beach has no expertise in this area.
However, "as determined by SCAQMD" could be added in its place.
7. Tanks shall be designed and located so that no odors or fumes
can be detected from the adjacent areas outside the exterior
walls of the project.
RECOMMENDATION: Incorporate the change
8. Operators shall not blow lines to the atmosphere,- xcspt
undor omorgo y condition€.
RECOMMENDA
Do not change
"Except in emergency" should be kept here, as noted elsewhere,
and as defined previously. There must be a method to handle
unusual or emergency conditions in an oil production facility.
13. There shall be no open flame allowed.
RECOMMENDATION: Add the condition
14. The permittee shall pay for City staff training by the
A.Q.M.D.: for one employee each from the Fire Department,
Building and Safety Department and the Planning Department.
RECOMMENDATION: Do not add
Not necessary, AQMD already has trained staff for making
inspections.
15. The permittee shall provide for continuous air quality
monitoring in accordance with a monitoring program approved
by the City of Hermosa Beach
RECOMMENDATION: Do not add
This is not required by the SCAQMD for this type of facility
because a vapor recovery system is being installed.
16. The permittee shall monitor drilling mud during' drilling on
the site for odorous substances and take such measures to
eliminate any odor which would be perceptible outside the
drill site
RECOMMENDATION: Add the condition
17. In addition to conventional design features incorporated in
construction plans an guidelines, the permittee shall provide
automatic vapor detection sensors for hydrocarbons coupled to
automatic shutdown mechanisms
RECOMMENDATION: Do not add
It is not necessary to require monitoring systems to shutdown
production. Vapor leaks may be from valves, pipelines, or
equipment that can be taken out of service and repaired while
facilities are in operation. In addition it is very difficult
for detection systems to monitor lighter than air vapors which
most hydrocarbons are. Monitoring systems for hydrocarbon vapors
are mainly used for enclosed spaces.
18. The permittee shall undertake no refining process or any
process for the extraction of products from natural gas,
except for such minor processes as necessary to make natural
gas acceptable to City gas mains for domestic use.
RECOMMENDATION: Add the condition
19. Well cellars shall be maintained in a clean and efficient
manner to prevent waste accumulation and shall be frequently
steam cleaned.
RECOMMENDATION: Add the condition
SECTION 12. GRADING / STORM WATER / SITE RUNOFF
6. No water from the site shall be allowed to enter the storm
drainage system or any public area, _.__cr}ergency.
RECOMMENDATION: Do not change
(4‘4
"Except in emergency" should be kept here, as noted elsewhere,
and as defined previously. There must be a method to handle
unusual or emergency conditions in an oil production facility.
7. No water from the site shall be allowed to surface flow
across the public beach, excopt in an emergency.
RECOMMENDATION: May be changed
"Except in emergency" should be kept here, as noted elsewhere,
and as defined by this C.U.P. There must be a method to handle
unusual or emergency conditions in an oil production facility.
The Public Works added this condition as a preventive measure; it
was not intended to ever flow water over the beach.
SECTION 13. PIPELINE CONSTRUCTION
17. Groundwater level and land subsidence shall be monitored to
insure that pipeline damage does not occur as a result of
- 13 -
- 28-
geologic and hydrologic phenomena. The operator shall submit
a plan showing how monitoring will be done of geologic and
hydrologic phenomena along the pipeline route.
RECOMMENDATION: Do not change
Subsidence will be monitored by a required survey as stated under
subsidence conditions. A report of the survey will be provided
to the City on an annual basis, pursuant to condition no. 6 of
Section 5, which is proposed to be modified to require that if
subsidence is discovered that monitoring include areas along the
pipeline.
20. Storage of materials shall not be allowed on the Hermosa
Valley Greenbelt. The storage or dumping upon the greenbelt
of any materials, construction equipment, debris, oil
drilling equipment, drilling rigs, piping, etc., and any and
all equipment and vehicles necessary for the the construction
and maintenance of the pipeline and oil development site
shall be prohibited. The use of the greenbelt as a staging
area for construction of the oil facility or pipeline shall
be be prohibited. There shall be no parking or standing of
any vehicles on the greenbelt for any time period.
RECOMMENDATION: Incorporate the change for clarification
SECTION 16.
The Planning Commission may review this Conditional Use Permit
and may amend the subject conditions or impose any new conditions
.if deemed necessary to mitigate detrimental effects on the
neighborhood resulting from the subject project.
The Planning Commission shall review, and if necessary, modify
the conditions as set forth in this Conditional Use Permit on an
annual basis or upon change in the operator of the project.
The Planning Commission reserves the right to revoke this
Conditional Use Permit if any violation of these conditions or
the Hermosa Beach Municipal Code occurs. The City shall. provide
the operator with notice in writing of any violation, stating the
City's basis for determining that a violation has occurred. The
operator shall have a reasonable time to abate the violation
before further action is taken. The City may require the
operator with notice in writing to submit written documentation
of actions taken to remedy any violation and may require
monitoring or other procedures to be implemented in order to
ensure that the violation will be abated.

B. Section 1215 (5) only allows fences to be constructed of an
aesthetically pleasing material of which chain link is not
included;
C. Barbed wire is a needed security requirement for the oil
development oil testing phase. Chain link fencing is also
needed on a temporary basis, for security during the testing
phase;
D. Since oil development is limited to only one site in the
City, the maintenance yard, the impacts of this amendment are
insignificant or negligible, as set forth in the addenda to
the EIR for oil development at the City yard site;
NOW, THEREFORE, the City Council of the City of Hermosa
Beach, California, does hereby ordain that the zoning ordinance
text be amended as follows:
SECTION 1 Amend Sections 1215 (4) to read as follows (underlined
text to be added):
"(4) Under no circumstances shall any fence, wall, or hedge
be constructed or altered to add razor wire, barbed
wire, broken glass, or other similar material.
Exception. Security fences around Oil development
facilities may be installed with barbed wire during the
active life of the oil wells.

ORDINANCE 93 -
AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF HERMOSA BEACH,
CALIFORNIA, TO AMEND THE OIL CODE, REGARDING THE DEFINITION OF
GRADE AND TO AMEND SECTION 21A -2.9(C) TO ALLOW FENCING LESS THAN
5 FEET FROM THE PROPERTY LINE
WHEREAS, the City Council held a public hearing on July 13,
1993, to consider the recommendation of the Planning Commission
and to consider oral and written testimony and made the following
Findings:
A. Section 21A-1.20 defines grade as the lowest point of the
elevation of the finished surface....between the structure
and the property line or when the property line is more than
five feet from the structure, between the structure and
line five feet from the structure;
B. This definition is sometimes overly restrictive because when
measuring the height of a structure from grade, such as from
an intentionally excavated well cellar for a storage tank,
the height would have to be taken from the lowered grade;
C. The requirement of Section 21A -2.9(c) that fencing be setbac
a minimum of five (5) feet from the property line is
unnecessary and inconsistent with the zoning ordinance which
has no setback requirements for commercially or.industriall
zoned property.
D. These amendments to the grade definition, and fencin
setback, since it only applies to the City maintenance yard
site at 555 6th Street, will result in insignificant
negligible impacts as set forth in the Addenda to EIR for of
development at the City Yard;
NOW, THEREFORE, the City Council of the City of Hermos
Beach, California, does hereby ordain that the Oil Code text b

SECTION 1. Amend Section 21A-1.20, regarding the definition of
GRADE to read as follows:: ' -
"
"Grade" (adjacent ground elevation) means- the lowest
point of elevation of the finished surface level of the
ground, paving or sidewalk, within the area between the
structure and the property line or, when the property
line is more than five feet from the structure, between
the structure and a line five feet from the structure
excluding excavations for well cellars and storage
tanks, within the enclosed area of the privacy wall
described in Section 21A -2.9(c)"
SECTION 2. Amend Section 21A -2.9(C), second paragraph first
sentence, to eliminate the 5 -foot setback requirement for
fencing, to read as follows:
"Setbacks for such fencing shall conform to the
provisions of the zoning ordinance for industrial or
commercial property but in no case shall be less than
five feet from the property line. "
SECTION 4. Prior to the expiration of fifteen (15) days after
the date of its adoption, the City Clerk shall cause
this ordinance to be published in the Easy Reader, a
weekly newspaper of general circulation published and
circulated in the City of Hermosa Beach, in the

ADDENDA TO EIR
Pursuant to Section 15164 of the California Quality Act minor or
technical changes or additions to a project or the mitigation
measures set forth in the EIR, require an addendum to the EIR
prior to a final decision on the project.
The following modifications and additions are hereby incorporated
as addenda to the certified EIR:
Section 4.7.3 of the EIR, requires a masonry or concrete wall
as a mitigation measure. This is amended to include a chain
link fence and barbed wire during the exploratory and testing
phase. No impact is anticipated, since a 30 -foot high
acoustical wall is to be provided during this phase the
visual impact would be minimal or negligible.
The EIR includes mitigation measures to limit the height of
the storage tanks to 16 feet, and to install them in a basin
of 8-10 feet in depth (Section 4.7.3). This is amended to
exclude appurtenances, and thus would allow a greater height
with attachments and appurtenances (i.e. a safety railing)
and to install the tanks in a basin of 6 -feet in depth. The
only impact would be visual. This impact would be minimal or
negligible since the storage tanks even if over 16 feet with
the 6 foot basin would only extend slightly above the
perimeter 12 foot high wall.
..The EIR mitigations measures (as contained in the summary)
describe the site as being "surrounded" by landscaping. This
is amended to exclude the westerly and northerly sides, in
recognition that portions of the site abut other buildings.
This change will result in minimal or negligible impacts.
Add the following after the discussion of of City Yard
Relocation, Section 4.15 of Volume II:
4.15.4 Temporary relocation of City Maintenance Yard
During the test phase of the oil development project it
is not necessary to completely relocate all the functions of
the City Yard, as they would return to the subject site if
the testing is not successful. The temporary relocations
would be for a duration of about one (1) year.
Some of the existing City Yard functions conducted within
the existing "Butler" building, located at the northeast
corner of the site will continue in conjunction with the
testing phase. Parking for up to 15 vehicles will be
available on the space is adjacent to and north of the
existing site (along Valley Drive).
The remaining functions of the City Yard will have to be
temporarily moved off site, as follows:
-21-
Irli• w'
C
1. Rental of available building space (tentatively at 545
Cypress) for:
Vehicle maintenance parts storage
Sign shop
2. Rent vacant undeveloped property (either the "Stinnet
Property", N.W. corner of Cypress and 6th Street or
undeveloped property on 11th Place east of and contiguous
to the Alano Parking lot) to be temporarily improved for
the following:
Dumpster operation
Paving Materials Bin
Metal storage buildings
Space for open supplies
Dog Kennel
Some Vehicles
3. Utilize Southern California Edison property in Redondo
Beach for overflow vehicles and gasoline service
Impacts
The current operations of the City Maintenance yard would
not be increased or intensified, only relocated. As such the
impacts would be limited to site specific impacts at any new
locations used for the temporary operations.
Only minimal or negligible impacts would be caused by the
continued use of the "Butler" building, by the use of
existing industrial/warehouse space for storage of vehicle
parts, and the use of the SCE property for overflow vehicles
and gas service.
If the "Stinnett Property" is utilized for the functions
noted above a block wall already exists on the front and part
of the side. Additional walls would be constructed on the
south and west sides. Some grading would be required and
site would have to be paved. If the property adjacent to
Alano Club is used it would require full fencing and paving.
At either location the following possible impacts could
occur unless mitigation measures are taken:
- Visual impact on surrounding properties
- Vehicle noise and noise from the kennel
Mitigation Measures
- The construction of block walls around the entire
perimeter of the site
- Orientation of structures away from any abutting
residential property
-2S-
--61-
C
- Acoustical construction for the dog kennel
- Any outdoor lighting will be directed and shielded to
reduce glare from adjacent properties.
The above mitigation measures reduce the impacts to minimal
or negligible significance.

P.C. Minutes 6-1-93
Staff Recommended Action: (a) To approve said Conditional Use Permit, (b) To
recommend approval of said text amendment, and (c) To recommend approval of the
addenda.
Due to conflict of interest, Comm. Merl excused himself from participation in this Public Hearing.
Mr. Schubach stated Staff recommended approval by the Commission and confirmation by the City
Council. He explained Staff's recommendations, as well as the alternative for denial by the
Commission. He explained mitigation measures were a part of the C.U.P., conditions of approval, logic
of setback requirements, property owners' legal claims through court action for property devaluation,
Staffs concerns relating to this project and the conditions of approval. Mr. Schubach displayed and
explained slides of a similar project located in Huntington Beach. He stated questions could be
answered by the many available professionals attending this meeting for this purpose. Comm. Suard
felt the copy of the Beverly Hill's C.U.P. was incomplete. Mr. Schubach confirmed the Commissioners
had received all pages received by Staff.
Responding to Comm. Oakes question, Mr. Lee addressed the City's concerns relating to its exposure
to clean up liability and the results of the negotiations with Macpherson Oil Company (lease option and
contribution of additional funds), as well as the available dollars for City Yard relocation. The
"advanced" dollars would be a loan repayable only from oil revenues, with capped interest. Mr. Lee
discussed with Chmn. Di Monda the impact from the Council's having already signed the lease upon
the Commission's ability to act. Mr. Lee stated lease approval did not guarantee the grant of land use
entitlement. The Commission's responsibility was to consider reasonable conditions mitigating land
use effects of this permitted use, with certain long-term environmental impacts which cannot be
mitigated (which were considered under the E.I.R.). Mr. Lee stated he and Staff were available to
discuss the agreed-upon contract terms, noting these terms were previously discussed. Chmn. Di
Monda felt there was a conflict by use of multiple sites when voters only approved one site. Mr. Lee
did not feel there was a conflict and explained the reasons for that opinion. Chmn. Di Monda
confirmed with Mr. Lee that noticing had been legally completed, with the Commission having accepted
written and/or oral testimony during the hearings. Mr. Lee stated he would further discuss this with
Staff.
Public Hearing opened by Chmn. Di Monda at 7:47 p.m.
Don Macpherson, Jr., applicant, noted the project had completed multiple public hearings; detailing
many of those hearings, and noting the project included 42 permits. He stated unnecessary delays
would impact the project, requested the project proceed and noted the millions of dollars the City
schools and property owners would receive.
David Gautschy; project manager, Macpherson Oil Company, addressed project safety issues,
highlighting and detailing the uniqueness of the recovery systems, safety and architectural features. He
itemized all the Code requirements which were being met or exceeded and confirmed the project would
have personnel on site 24 hours per day. He stressed the operation was a safe one.

Comm Oakes questioned the following: (1) the type of partnership of the company, the provision of
bonding provisions and the applicant's ability to continue the project. Mr. Gautschy explained the
Company structure, noted the insurance policy and performance bond previously established. Mr. Lee
confirmed the dollar amounts, provisions of the bond and the protection for the City. (2) was this the
first urban site to be built, which Mr. Gautschy denied, (3) Macpherson Oil Company assets. Mr. Lee
explained the investigation by the City which had been completed to its satisfaction, (4) confirmed the
drilling rigs would be fully enclosed and (5) submittal of the General Development Plan to the State,
to which Mr. Gautschy stated he was not familiar.
Comm. Suard discussed the length of time and the reasons oil rigs would be idle with Mr. Gautschy.
Responding to Chmn. Di-Monda's question, Mr. Macpherson forecast 10-30 million barrels of oil being
produced during a 20 year period, but did not give an exact dollar value. Comm. Marks requested the
royalty amount projected for residents be provided, to which Mr. Macpherson agreed.
Phil Dowsing, Redondo Beach, Stoner family representative, felt important information relating to
health, safety and land value as missing, noting a total -project review was not readily accessible and last-
minute data was still be received. He voiced concerns regarding public reviews, requesting verification
the Commission had received the packet presented by him during the previous meeting. He stated it
was imperative that public officials and the community be aware of the impacts of the project. He
maintained the oil project should not be located in the City, noting hazardous chemicals which could
result. Mr. Dowsing then presented the issues experienced at the Huntington Beach site (ie: fire, City
issued stop work orders). He noted the Huntington Beach Planning Commission had denied the oil
permit, denial was overridden by the Council due to issues peculiar to that City and discussed the
differences between Huntington Beach and Hermosa Beach. He felt oil production was not the answer
to the City's financial problems.
Peggy Collins, Stoner family attorney, presented a 9 -page letter which had been forwarded to the
Commission. She felt financial issues had not previously been adequately addressed; the revenues were
speculative, and discussed the liabilities of the project on City services and residents. She urged a "no -
project alternative".
Joanne Chapman Browning, attorney representing the Hermosa Beach Stop Oil Coalition, felt legal
issues should be covered now instead of in court. She felt the notices were not received prior to the
C.U.P. document being available, not allowing adequate opportunity for review, which she felt was
illegal. She commented upon .this inadequacy and felt the Commission should request renoticing of this
item. She discussed in depth the Commission's "compliance with the California Environmental.Quality
Act", its guidelines and the actions that needed to be taken. She stated the proposed site plan violated
the City ordinances and detailed the documents she felt should be before the Commission, including
a detailed traffic plan and a supplement to the E.I.R. She felt significant information was not addressed
and urged that the legal issues be reviewed and that the Commission respond with a new document.

Jack Wood, 200 Pier Avenue, stated the issue was the land issue, not whether drilling for oil should be
allowed. The people of Hermosa Beach cast ballots approved oil drilling and it should be dohe.
Rosamond Fogg, 610 6th Street, asked the Commissioners to consider the differences between
Huntington Beach and Hermosa Beach, detailing results of her conversation with that city's
representatives. She noted the importance of the Commission's decision and invited the Commissioners
to talk to a Huntington Beach representative and gave the phone number to Mr. Schubach. She asked
that City residents be protected as much as possible. Ms. Fogg corrected the May4, 1993 minutes,
noting she did not vote on Proposition P, but supported Proposition L.
Parker Kemp, 2467 Manhattan Avenue, a professional petroleum engineer, stated his support of the
project and urged proceeding with the project, as approved by ballot.
George Sacks, 225 Valley Drive, opposed this project, feeling the E.I.R. would not adequately mitigate
the oil drilling impacts. He felt a 30' acoustical sound barrier was needed throughout the life of the
project. He felt most of the questions had not been adequately answered.
Robert Broadsky, 401 2nd Street, felt if the citizens voted today, they would not approve the oil
drilling.
John Edwards, 501 Herondo, #33, Chief, Environmental Planning, Air Force Space Systems, felt an
E.I.R. key item was the request for a risk assessment, which was not adequately addressed. He asked
a quantitative risk assessment, a continuous air pollutant monitoring system, spill prevention and
control plan, an emergency response plan and lowest achievable emission rate (90% is not adequate) be
required as part of the C.U.P.
Gary Wayland, 109 Aviation Blvd., representing the Chamber of Commerce Executive Committee,
• expressed support of the project and Staff's recommendation for approval of the C.U.P. The Chamber
of Commerce asked that the previous public votes be recognized and supported.
John Bernacky, 805 Bard St., will have to disclose the oil wells during the sale of his property. If he
and his neighbors cannot sell their properties, they will "come after" the City and the oil company. He
urged another ballot be taken on this issue due to the numerous changes that have been made. He
questioned the proposed site of this project.
Mike Stoner, 25th Street, read aloud his letter to the Commission addressing his opposition to this
project. He then detailed that opposition, noting safety, health and financial reasons and requested
denial of the C.U.P.
Tom Morley, Hermosa Drive, objected to the timing of the noticing versus issuance of documentation
and requested the public hearing be renoticed, with a detailed site plan being made available prior to
implementing the E.I.R. mitigations or that a Condition be added that stated, "All additional mitigation
suggested in the project E.I.R., as well as those stated in the C.U.P., shall be implemented." He
discussed the plan changes which were made. He discussed the possible disbursement of monies and
- 5 - P.C. Minutes 6-1-93

felt the City and residents would not be benefiting. He requested an independent financial analysis and
estimate of how many dollars would come to the General Fund.
Neil Greski, 834 Bard Street, addressed the project's impact upon open space, stating he did not want
his children growing up near a cancer -producing project and questioned the lack of information
available for this project. He stated his strong opposition, noting a tanker rig would be going down the
greenbelt every six minutes and lack of adequate insurance.
Beth Harris, 416 Monterey, stated her opposition to this project, noting she was not impressed by the
Chamber of Commerce comments. She noted the area as transient, stating the lessees have left the area
and current residents will not get the royalties. She asked for the addition of conditions requiring an
outside monitoring service and a wall cap be designed. She felt if the project were approved, land values
would decrease.
Evelyn Bernacky, Hermosa Beach, felt there was a vast difference between the slides shown by Mr.
Schubach and the proposed project and between RUDAT's goals and this project.
Howard Longacre, Hermosa Beach, stated his support of the project, feeling the next step was to move
forward. He expressed concern over the issue of subsidence and requested careful monitoring and
planned future action. He felt the vote of the people should be honored, noting the Commission should
stay focused and this project would bring substantial improvements to the City.
Gwen Gross, Superintendent, School District, stated the Board endorsed the project and encouraged
the Commission to support the project.
J.R. Reviczky, 600 Ardmore Avenue, stated his opposition of the project, addressing what he
. considered to be flaws in the C.U.P. He requested the C.U.P. be reviewed every six months.
Mary Lou Weiss, 2506 Ardmore, asked the City Attorney to review the purpose of this particular
meeting, which he did. She stated this issue had been voted upon and instead of proceeding, the issue
was being held. She stated the City was broke, oil would not resolve all the problems, but the City has
invested money, accepted money from the oil company and a commitment has been made. She
questioned the questions the Commissioners had asked. Chmn. Di Monda stated the Commission was
trying to stop the City's tendency to prolong issues before action is taken, while resolving this issue with
an equitable and fair decision. - -
Nancy Reviczky, 600 Ardmore Avenue, suggested a public hearing be held on this item at each six-
month C.U.P. review.
Richard Carley, representing the State Division of Oil and Gas, which was mandated to oversee oil
operations, including drilling. He offered copies of the State laws and regulations to the Commission.

Leonard Brock, City consultant, felt all concerns brought forward during testimony had previously
been properly addressed. The contract is the best that can be done and the City Staff are capable to
assure this project is properly handled. The City Staff has done a great job. Macpherson has a good
representation and will also do a fine job.
No one else wished to speak regarding this item, and Chmn. Di Monda closed the Public Hearing at
9:50 p.m.
Mr. Lee 'requested a closed session of the Planning Commission for the purpose of discussing the very
good potential of threatened litigation, pursuant to Government Code Section 54956.9, Subjection B1
to discuss this matter. The Planning Commission and City Attorney Lee adjourned to closed session.
Public Hearing reopened by Chmn. Di Monda at 10:51 p.m.
David Gautschy responded to previous testimony. He discussed use of the 1.6 acre with Mr. Lee, who
stated the E.I.R. (Expanded Environmental Assessment for City Maintenance Yard Oil Expiration and
Production Consolidated Project Alternative) addressed the consolidated project, noting nothing new
or different has not been addressed. He discussed the possibility of drilling not be allowed on the
remaining 1/3 acre, although he did not believe that activity would be precluded. He discussed the scope
of the project. Mr. Gautschy stated truck traffic would be limited to other than peak traffic periods,
plans had been submitted for pipelines, water coming out of the ground with the oil would be reinjected
back into the ground as a method of disposal, H2S will not be present or a problem at this site, risk
assessment draft was submitted to the City which will be forwarded to the State for review and revision
(if necessary), an specific emergency response plan will be prepared and submitted, the site will have
99% vapor control, the site already has a producing well on it and detailed plans will be submitted to
the City for final approval. Mr. Gautschy agreed to six month C.U.P. reviews if it were necessary,
suggesting an annual review as preferable. He explained the stop orders were a result of action against
the City of Huntington Beach, the fire was during a demolition project (not as part of the oil project).
The Fire Department Chief had reviewed the submitted plans and made comments to Staff. He
explained the type of pumps at both the Huntington Beach site and Hermosa Beach proposed site.
Comm. Oakes discussed with Messrs. Gautschy and Schubach her concerns relating to adequate on-site
fire protecting facilities and hose lengths. Comm. Suard discussed with Mr. Gautschy the possibility
of smells and provisions for monitoring odors. Mr. Gautschy stated methane monitoring was being
proposed by the applicant.
Don Macpherson, Jr., responded to questions previously asked by the Commission, stating he had
understood the focus was on land uses; not financial. He stated the revenue to property owners of
average -size lots would range between $15,000 and $45,000 over the life of the project; to the City
ranged between $42,000,000 and $126,000,000; the total for City property owners ranged between
$17,000,000 and $51,000,000; School District revenue ranged between $2,200,000 and $6,600,000.

No one else wished to speak regarding this item, and Chmn. Di Monda closed the Public Hearing at
12:10 a.m.
Chmn. Di Monda read and discussed his proposed changes to the C.U.P. with the Commissioners and
Staff. The Commissioners also suggested and discussed additional proposed changes.
Mr. Macpherson stated the proposal was unacceptable to Macpherson Oil Company, requesting the
vote address Staff's recommendation, as proposed. He explained another continuance would be
unsatisfactory as the permitting process and project was in jeopardy by the continuing delay.
MOTION by Chmn. Di Monda, Seconded by Comm. Suard, to APPROVE C.U.P. 93-12 with the
following changes. (The C.U.P. will be brought back for final review due to the complexity of changes
to assure all changes were correctly completed.)

be operated on holidays, even if that holiday falls on a week day." Also add language to assure
that a log/schedule of the days worked shall be submitted to the City for monitoring purposes.
Item #10, dealing with final building plans, shall come back to the Planning Commission prior
to issuance of a building permit.

Chmn. Di Monda commented this item could be appealed to the City Council within 10 days of this
decision.
Mr. Dowsing requested the availability of the revised C.U.P. in order to enable timely review. Mr.
Schubach stated it would be available the Thursday prior to the next scheduled Planning Commission
meeting. Mr. Lee explained the typical standard operating procedure for Mr. Dowsing's benefit.
Mr. Dowsing felt "the cart was again being put before the horse", noting the process has been flawed,
throughout. He stated his protest of the situation, if time was not sufficient to review the documents.
Chmn. Di Monda stated that he would not support oil drilling if the document did not include a
property value protection plan, to which all Commissioners agreed. He deemed thisitem would
automatically be appealed to City Council for final consideration.
MOTION by Comm. Oakes, Seconded by Comm. Marks, authorizing the execution of a memorandum
to be attached to the Resolution stating it is the Planning Commission's intent that the C.U.P. be
approved with all the proposed conditions, stating all conditions are important and if any deletion of
any one of the conditions would have resulted in a C.U.P. DENIAL by the Commission. This
memorandum will be prepared for executive by the Chair reflecting the Commission's intent.

Recommended Action: a) To A:PROVE said Conditional Use
Permit. b) To recommend pis PRC; 1 of said text amendment. c)
to recommend APPROVAL cf the addenda.
Due to conflict of interest, Comm. Merl excuses himself from
participation.
Mr. Schubach presented the Staff Report, noting the project
had completed a- full environmental impact report. The
Commission would be essentially adopting the Conditional Use
Permit for the implementation of mitigation measures in the
E.I.R. during this meeting. He highlighted slight modifica-
tions to the City Coda, Zoning Ordinance and Oil Code and
detailed the changes made, temporary conditions and items for
approval consideration by the Commission. He noted Staff
recommended a vote of confirmation and that a total of 'six
hearings would be ultimately conducted; four have already been
held. Responding to the Commissioners, Mr. Schubach confirmed
trees located near the fence would be trimmed for safety
purposes, the chainlink fence would be removed after one year,
a study would be conducted to obtain fire protection details,
the City Yard would be relocated and that this project was for
a term of 35 years.
Comm. Suard felt the auditor's fees should be specifically
stated as being paid by the applicant, Item #5 was ambiguous
as it did not state what would happen if there were economic
impacts upon residents and Section 3, Item #1 should include
the barbed wire on the chainlink fence. Comm. Suard suggested
redwood slats be rec-uired in the chainlink fence. Mr.
Schubach agreed the barbed wire would be specifically noted,
as requested, but felt redwood slats would draw attention to
the fence. ,=He then discussed with Comm. Suard the differences
in time frames noted in Section 6.
Comm. Marks discussed with Mr. Schubach the control of
oil -processing odors.
Chmn. Di Monda felt Section 5 should state the plan is to be
approved by an independent engineer as well as the Director of
Public Works, since this was a specialty. He requested clar-
ification of Section 13, Item #20, in that the Greenbelt was
not to be driven on or used for storage or parking and
requested the supplemental information be included in the
C.U.P. Mr. Schubach agreed this information would be included
as Section 15, with corresponding renumbering of sections.
Public Hearing opened by Chmn. Di Monda at 7:40 p.m.

presented a brief project history and discussed the $130,000
bonus and provision of funds to the City and school system.
He stated the on -shore project would be located at the main-
tenance yard site with additional pipeline being installed,
explained the daily output, operating requirements and
personnel responsibilities. He stated the majority of
drilling would be within the tideland area and that water
would be reinjected underground, not released to the
reservoir.
Tom Morley, 516 Loma Drive, asked the public hearing be
continued to allow time for residents to respond with written
communication, noting the previous information he had
submitted pertaining to the Environmental Impact. Report, as
well as the time and effort previously expended on this
project. Mr. Schubach noted the certification of the E.I.R.
C.U.P. was being used to impose mitigation measures found in
the E.I.R.
Phil Dowsing, representing the Stoner family, requested denial
of the project. He stated the Stoners would engage .in legal
proceedings to protect their interests within the City, noting
this project was detrimental to the community. He defined the
pertinent issues as being: (1) life, health, safety, (2)
business and property interests for light manufacturing, (3)
residential and family issue related to rental and living
conditions and (4) community impact issues. He then explained
the objections his clients had in each of these areas and
detailing risks to residents, employees and property owners
his clients felt would result.
Rosa Manfaw, 610 6th Street, had supported this project, based
upon the stated conditions, but felt the project should be
denied if all conditions were not met. She stated the
developer had misrepresented the project to her, defining her
objections pertaining to possible cost to the City, visual,
health and noise problems and the vagueness of the C.U.P.
George Sacks, 225 Valley Drive, stated his opposition to the
project, defined the deviations from the original proposed
plan and felt the C.U.P. did not address procedures to monitor
the project and its possible effects. He questioned the
City's cost, increased traffic, possible liabilities and
recommended postponement of any approvals at this time.
Normand Brewer, 614 Loma Drive, said this meeting had been
adequately published and residents should have been aware of
it. He supported this project, noting it would result in City
revenue and less taxes. He stated the majority of residents
had approved such a project, asking the Commission to act upon
the residents' previous vote of approval.

Wilma Burt, Hermosa:Beach,:stated her support-of.:this project
and felt Macpherson had won the right ,to develop the site.
She stated oil wells were currently located within the City
and people were simply not aware of them. She noted the -many
lawsuits facing the City, ,felt this proposal had restrictions
thatcould be enforced,_said the citizens of the City had
voted approval and urged the Commission to also approve this
project in order to help the City's finances. .
J.R. •Revinczky, 600 Ardmore Ave., objected to this hearing,
feeling it was not properly noticed and his rights were being
denied. He stated the ballot initiative did not mandate oil
drilling. He expressed concern relating to possible noise,
noting noise levels had not yet been.adequately-recorded, the
C.U.P. did notadequately address either noise .levels or who
would monitor it. -
Winston Marshall, 360 33rd Place, with a business located at
500 6th Street, noted he did not oppose drilling but expressed
concern relating to noise levels and ground' shaking as it
pertained to his business. He asked if he would be able to
continue conducting business at that location and objected to
not having been notified of this meeting.
Neil Greski, 834 Bard Street, urged denial of this project in
..order to preserve residents' quality of life and questioned
the methods of transporting oil through the City. He
questioned the stated amount of revenue, the possibility of
lawsuits, increase in accidents and possible adverse impacts
{ upon residents. He urged denial of this project.
Larry Cole, 501 Herondo St., asked for the basis of the
forecast and if it was correct, as well as what the return
.would be, suggesting the City was perhaps subsidizing private
I,a industry resulting in small profit to the City. He felt the
,3 tax savings would be small, while imposing health, safety and
life-style risks to residents. He urged further review prior
to any approval being given.
Florence Sacks, 225 Valley Drive, discussed the oil wells
located in Beverly Hills, noting no new wells were being.
drilled and residents were being impacted by the existing
ones. She stated tidelands revenue can only be spent on
tidelands, not on open space or general funds.
Karen Spice, 602 Ardmore, stated her child was asthmatic and
expressed concern regarding the dust that would be generated
by this project.
Merna Marshall, Hermosa Beach, asked if only the agenda items
were being addressed or if the entire issue was again being
discussed. Mr. Lee stated the E.I.R. was not being reopened

unless -the issues raised showed -significant impacts and noted
the City Council had previously -approved the -oil lease, -with
the E.I.R. issues having been fully .addressed. The issue
before the. -Commission: was -whether- or not the proposed
conditions were .sufficient-.to:address -those impacts. Ms.
Marshall stated she• was neither pro_ or. con: regarding this
issue,:but expressed. concern that her husband would be -able to
continue conducting business during the construction phase of
this project. She requested that enforceable conditions be
imposed.... _
Nancy Reviczky,'600 Ardmore:'Ave:., :suggested. Messrs. Schubach
and. Lee use functioning microphones, as she could not hear
their comments on. television. -.Mr-.-Schubach_ explained the
problems being experienced with the audio system. She asked
Mr. Lee to repeat his response to Ms. Marshall; which he did.
She stated information was not available until April 30, but
public written response was requested by April 29, 1993,
noting the procedure was backwards. She stated her opposition
to this project, commenting she would not have moved to this
city if she had been aware this project would be implemented.
David Gautschy rebutted bystating the odorless flair is a way
to handle the gas during the project testing, is not visible
and would be within the height limitations and would meet all
technology, as required. He stated the numbers provided
resulted from the City Consultant's study of only one level,
noted that Macpherson would try to drill all four zones. The
tower height cannot be less due to efficiency and economical
requirements. Exploratory wells will take four weeks to
drill. The well cellar will be eight -feet deep. He explained
the differences between electrical submersible and
above -ground pumps, including maintenance, efficiency, noise
levels and possible community impact, which he felt would be
minimal.
Mr. Gautschy stated the best wells within Redondo Beach were
those that were draining across the boundary line from Hermosa
Beach. He explained drilling procedures, stated unrefined
products were not hazardous, normally there would be no odors,
tank tops would be approximately 10 feet high with a ramp and
pipe outlet above that level. The servicing rigs would
service wells during the term of the project; which could be
as infrequent as once every four years per well and as
frequently as once -twice per year per well. This service
could take as long as three days per service. He discussed
circumstances and the lack of impact experienced with other
drilling sites, including safety and fire plan procedures and
the $5,000,000 indemnification policy for this project. He
explained the facility would have multiple safety controls.
The City -designated truck routes would be used.
No one else wished to speak regarding this item, and at 9:28,
Chmn. Di Monda closed the Public Hearing.

complaints to the responsible individual or agency. She
requested copies of C.U.P.s fromothercities who had on=going
drilling sites, a report of the complaints experienced by them
and how they were handled. Mr. Schubach agreed to supply this
information to the commission if C.U.P.s had been required.
He stated he would provide the Huntington Beach site to enable
Commissioners to visit the site.
Chmn. Di Monda stated the Council had previously decided
against A.Q.M.D. certification of Staff, and suggested this be
reconsidered since .problems are :experienced with lack of
responseby. the .A.Q.M.D. and drilling would be done in a
heavily populated area. He expressed concernregarding the
various health impacts, discussing possible area contamination
and hazardous materials, as well as emergency situations with
Mr. Schubach.
Mr. Lee stated the developer had to complete certain land use
entitlement processes, but there was no guarantee they would
receive the entitlement. He discussed the basis for denial
with Chmn. Di Monda.
Comm. Suard discussed mitigation measures and specific City
responsibility with Messrs. Lee and Schubach.
MOTION by Chmn. Di Monda, seconded by Comm. Marks, to CONTINUE
this item to June 1, 1993 due to the number of unanswered
questions and concerns and to allow Staff to investigate and
provide: the emergency plan, the State Land Commission staff
-report, information on the health impact, the question of the
impact upon lending, information as to how other cities have
,-dealt with similar situations, an explanation of hazardous or
contaminated materials, photographs of the Huntington Beach

RESOLUTION P.C. 93-31
A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF HERMOSA BEACH,
CALIFORNIA, TO RECOMMEND AN AMENDMENT TO THE OIL CODE, REGARDING
THE DEFINITION OF GRADE AND TO AMEND SECTION 21A -2.9(C) TO ALLOW
FENCING LESS THAN 5 FEET -FROM THE PROPERTY LINE
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission held public hearings on May
4 and June 1, 1993, to consider oral and written testimony and
made the following Findings:
A. Section 21A-1.20 defines grade as the lowest point of the
elevation of the finished surface....between the structure
and the property line or when the property line is more than
five feet from the structure, between the structure and
line five feet from the structure;
B. This definition is sometimes overly restrictive because when
measuring the height of a structure from grade, such as from
an intentionally excavated well cellar for a storage tank,
the height would have to be taken from the lowered grade;
C. The requirement of Section 21A -2.9(c) that fencing be setback
a minimum of five (5) feet from the property line is
unnecessary and inconsistent with the zoning ordinance which
has no setback requirements for commercially or industrially
zoned property.
D. These amendments to the grade definition, and fencin
setback, since it only applies to the City maintenance yar
site at 555 6th Street, will result in insignificant
negligible impacts as set forth in the Addenda to EIR for of
development at the City Yard;

NOW, THEREFORE, the Planning Commission of the City of
Hermosa Beach, California, recommends that the Oil Code text be
amended as follows:
SECTION I: Amend Section 21A-1.20, regarding the definition of
GRADE to read as follows::
"
"Grade" (adjacent ground elevation) means the lowest
point of elevation of the finished surface level of the
ground, paving or sidewalk, within the area between the
structure and the property line or, when the property
line is more than five feet from the structure, between
the structure and a line five feet from the structure
excluding excavations for well cellars and storage
tanks, within the enclosed area of the privacy wall
described in Section 21A -2.9(c)"
SECTION II: Amend Section 21A -2.9(C), second paragraph first
sentence, to eliminate the 5 -foot setback requirement for
fencing, to read as follows:
"Setbacks for such fencing shall conform to the
provisions of the zoning ordinance for industrial or
commercial property but in no case shall be less than
five feet from the property line. "

RESOLUTION P.C. 93-32
A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF HERMOSA BEACH,
CALIFORNIA, TO RECOMMEND AMENDING THE ZONING ORDINANCE TEXT,
SECTION 1215(4) AND (5) TO PERMIT BARBED WIRE AND CHAIN LINK
FENCING FOR TEMPORARY PERIODS IN CONJUNCTION WITH AN APPROVED OIL
DEVELOPMENT PROJECT.
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission held public hearings on May
4 and June 1, 1993, to consider oral and written testimony and
made the following Findings:
A. Section 1215 (4) specifically prohibits barbed wire in
conjunction with a fence;
B. Section 1215 (5) only allows fences to be constructed of an
aesthetically pleasing material of which chain link is not
included;
C. Barbed wire is a needed security requirement for the oil
development oil testing phase. Chain link fencing is also
needed on a temporary basis for security during the testing
phase;
D. Since oil development is limited to only one site in the
City, the maintenance yard, the impacts of this amendment are
insignificant or negligible, as set forth in the addenda to

If the project cannot comply with operation standards
established by these conditions of approval, after two
warnings the operation shall be fined and/or shut down
through permit revocation by the City,
Noise was exempt from this item to allow for monitoring and upgrading
of sound control equipment without being fined or shut down in the
process. Sound control consists of monitoring the operation and
determining what particular operation exceeds the maximum sound
level permitted by ordinance. This exception is needed to permit
monitoring of sound levels while the equipment is in operation and to
determine the proper method to attenuate the sound. It must be noted
that it may take several monitoring sessions and installation of more
than one piece of equipment to control the sound to meet the noise
ordinance requirements. The revision to condition number 2 must be
eliminated and the exception must remain.

4. The maximum number of days the workover rigs shall be
on-site shall be 00 days per60 days per year,
and the workover rigs shall only be operated
weekdays 8:00 A.M. to 6:00 P.M. The workover rig
can not be operated on holidays, even if that
holiday falls on a weekday. A log/schedule of
the days that workover rigs will be operated on
site shall be submitted to the city for
monitoring purposes.
Reducing the number of days a workover rig can be operated during a
one year period from 90 days to 60 days is unreasonable. Workover
rigs are expensive to operate. They are only used when absolutely
necessary. If well repairs cannot be made because the 60 days may be
exceeded, the well remains idle. Idle wells do not produce crude oil
and therefore revenue is not generated and no royalties. This is the
purpose of the project, to make income for the City. The Environmental
Impact Report discussed this very issue. The use of workover rigs for
well maintenance 90 days per year was acceptable. If Macpherson Oil
Company is unable to repair a well due to maximum workover rig time
has been exceeded, then the minimum royalty payment requirement for
the drill site should not apply.

Condit. 10 Three (3) copies of final building plans including
site, elevation, and floor plans shall be submitted. for
review and approval by the Planning Director and the
Planning Commission prior to the issuance of any
Building Permit.
Comment: Final building construction plans are submitted to each city department
for review by their technical staff to insure compliance with the city
regulations and code requirements. The planning director will insure
compliance with the zoning ordinance and the conditions of the the
Conditional Use Permit. Requiring an additional review by the Planning
Commission who are lay persons, will only cause additional delay in
the approval process and obtaining the building construction permits.
The project already conforms to the general requirements of the zoning
ordinance or it would not have been approved by the Planning
Commission or the planning staff.
Condit. 11 The proposed development shall be in substantial
conformance with submitted plans.Any minor modification
shall be reviewed and may be approved by the Planning
Director. The operator must show that all
finances are in place and that they have
adequate funds to complete the exploratory and
drilling phase of this project, prior to
obtaining building permits.
Comment: The financial ability of the contractor was a prime consideration in
selecting Macpherson Oil Company to develop the Hermosa Beach
Project by the City Council. Finances are not land issues and should
not be considered by the Planning Commission. This is an
unreasonable addition to condition number 11 and must be removed.
Condit.12 All wells drilled must be drilled and completed
within 3 years of the start of drilling the
first exploratory well. There can be no more
than 30 wells for this project.
Comment: It is unrealistic to assume that all drilling can be completed within 3
years from the start date of drilling the first exploratory well. The drilling
of the exploratory well(s) may take one to three months. After
completion of the drilling, the lease agreement permits testing of the
exploratory well(s) for a period not to exceed 270 days (9 months).
Phase II construction will take approximately 9 additional months.
Drilling of 30 production wells and 4 water disposal wells at 3 to 4
weeks each will take approximately 26 to 34 months. (12 months
testing + 9 months construction + 34 months drilling = 55 months).

Comments on revised conditions
of approval by Planning Commission
Macpherson Oil Company decided not to burden the existing City and
County sewer and storm drain systems for the disposal of storm water
and produced water from the site. Therefore, existing City utility
systems will have minimal impact by this project and will remain
available for future developments. Disposal of storm water and
produced water from the project site requires drilling 3 or 4 water
disposal wells which bottom in the same geological zones as the crude
oil is being pumped from. When crude oil is produced or pumped from
the ground, water contained in that same geological zone is also
produced. For example, 40% may be crude oil and 60% may be water.
This water is separated from the crude oil in the tank farm and returned
to the geological zones from where it was removed. Condition number
12 should be eliminated.
Condit 13 The permittee shall submit a property value
protection plan which shall be implemented
prior to drilling. Said plan shall establish
an "impact zone" based on noise,view, odor and
other potential problems; set forth procedures
for property value appraisals, including
provisions for arbitration; and set up a method
and funding mechanism that will ensure re-
imbursement of property value losses
attributable to the oil development project.
This plan shall be approved by both the
Planning Commission and City Council prior to
the issuance of any Building Permits.
Comment: This proposed property value protection plan has never been a
discussion item during the bidding process, the review and approval of
the Environmental Impact Report and through the lease agreement
negotiations. The site in question, has been used for the City dump,
has had oil production facilities on the site since the 1930's until now. It
is also being used as the City Street Maintenance Yard for repair of City
vehicles and trucks. In addition, this property is being used for storing,
handling and hauling of trash from street sweeping operations. Angus
Petroleum Corporation in the City of Huntington Beach was required to
provide a similar property value protection plan during drilling
operations. There were no substantiated claims by any property owner
for loss of value of their property. It is unfounded by historical data that
construction of an oil production facility as proposed will reduced
adjacent property values. If fact, cleanup of this site and, the installation
of decorative masonry walls and landscaping may actually improve
adjacent property values. If the City wants a property value protection
plan for abutting properties, then the City should be responsible for the
cost and maintenance of such a plan. Condition number 13 must be
eliminated.

The building code requires that a soils and geological report be
prepared and submitted to the city building department for review. The
Planning Commission, as a lay body, doesn't have the technical
expertise to review and comment on a soils and geological report
prepared by a professional engineer. The building department has staff
or consulting engineers who perform this function. Macpherson Oil
Company pays for this review via the permit plan check fee. This is just
another example of adding layers of unjustified review and approval to
this project. This added section should be removed from this condition.
Not more than five tanks shall be installed, and shall
be submerged in a concrete basin which shall contain
1 1/2 times the volume of the tank fluids, or as
required by the State Division of Oil and Gas,
whichever is greater.
You can not spill 1.1/2 the volume of the tanks. The tank farm site is
extremely small and it is unrealistic to require such a large retention
volume. Macpherson OII Company has supplied the planning staff with
copies of numerous codes from state and national agencies which
establish retention volumes for crude oil tank farms. The Hermosa
Beach Project has been designed to exceed the requirements of all of
these agencies. There is no code requirement to provide 1.1/2 times
the volume of the tank fluids. This added line should be removed from

section of the conditional use permit and the
Environmental Impact Report as a mitigation
measure must be completed by an independent
contractor selected by the City and submitted
to the City prior to the issuance of any permit
for commencing any work including site
preparation. This includes, but is not limited
to: soils analysis, subsidence, fire safety,
noise studies and prevention plans, hazardous
footprint, blowout prevention, street pavement
study, risk assessment, and any other study
required by the various state agencies
regulating this project. All recommended
actions are to be taken in a timely manner.
Comment: All engineering studies required for the development of this project will
be prepared in the appropriate time frame when needed. In general -
this statement seems reasonable, however, some reports can not be
completed until the project is built. For example, the National Spill
Control and Countermeasure Plan (SPCC) requires detailed
information regarding the operation of the facility. Specifically which
valves to turn, the employee's telephone numbers, agencies contracted
with for spill cleanup, ect. Macpherson Oil Company adamantly objects
to the city selecting the consultants to perform these engineering
studies. Selection of firms to conduct engineering studies is based on
expertise in their field, knowledge of the oil industry and economics.
These reports will be reviewed by various governmental agencies and
must meet their requirements and standards. Having the city select
these consultants unreasonable condition not required of other
developers in the city. This condition should be eliminated..

It would virtually impossible to seal all the man doors and vehicle gates
to insure they are liquid tight. The access gates are used daily These
doors and gates are the mandatory fire escape routes for employees.
The site will be designed so that all drainage or spills will flow away
from the man doors and vehicle gates to permanently installed catch

The elevation survey required for evaluation of potential subsidence is
very expensive to perform and would be a city wide survey. Disposal of

settlement. Requiring more than one survey per year is not necessary

Planning Commission, both incoming and outgoing
traffic is to be routed on Valley Boulevard
south of the subject site via Herondo Avenue,
requiring a temporary change of Valley Drive
into a two-way street during the .exploration
and drilling phase of the project.
Changing Valley Drive to two-way traffic seems to be a reasonable
solution to routing truck traffic away from Pier. However, truck routes
were established by the City of Hermosa Beach during the
Environmental Impact Report review process and it was determined

that the existing route was the most desirable. This Environmental
Impact Report went through public hearings and was adopted by the
City Council. There are numerous trucks utilizing Valley Drive at this
time which are generated by City yard operations. The City of Redondo
Beach may object to this proposal as it would double the truck traffic in
their City. Truck routes are established by ordinances passed by the
City Council. The Planning Commission is only a recommending body.

:Comment: If an emergency condition arises requiring immediate work on a piece
of equipment, well or pipeline to protect the health and welfare of the
community or to prevent or contain a spill and Macpherson Oil
Company is prevented from responding to that emergency, I would
think the city would become liable for any damages that would occur. In
effect, the Planning Commission is saying that if an emergency
condition happens, you are not allowed to correct this condition. This
eminently shows the lack of knowledge of the Planning Commission of
oilfield operations. The Planning Commission had a consulting
Petroleum Engineer hired by the city at the hearing who publicly
offered his assistance to them and was never consulted when making
changes to the conditions.
Macpherson Oil Company strongly objects to the removal from all
conditions where in "in emergency conditions" exceptions are
permitted and have been removed by the Planning Commission.

After the wall has been installed it is unreasonable to raise the wall

wall requires forty foot poles which are very expensive. Longer poles
would cost considerable more. Sound control will be based on meeting

Comment: An "Emergency" as defined by the City Oil Code, means a threat to the
health and safety of persons in the surrounding area to the drill site or a
significant loss of ability to drill. Prohibiting operations in an emergency
situation is an unreasonable requirement.
Requiring workover rig noise to be reduced to an acceptable limit as
determined by the Planning Commission is unreasonable. The
Planning Commission is a subjective body without expertise in
acoustics. The Lease Agreement is based on meeting the requirements
of the Oil Code which contain the standards for maximum permitted
noise when operating a workover rig.
Workover rigs for redrilling and deepening wells do not have to be
enclosed as a drilling rig. Again, all oil operations are controlled by the

This condition is unreasonable in that the oil revenue money is for just
this purpose, improvement of the City parks and recreational areas. If
more landscape is needed, money from royalties can be used to
provide additional landscaping. This Condition requires planting trees
along the west side of site. This is behind existing industrial buildings
and abutting .a 30' high sound wall which will be along the property
line. This would require installing the sound wall further back on the
property to provide space for trees and access for maintenance. If trees
are spaced at 20 to 25 feet on center along the greenbelt it would take
104 to 130 trees. This is approximately 2,600 lin. feet of landscaping
which would be extremely expensive to install. This new condition must

Construction of a 16 foot high, free standing masonry wall will be very

Fire Department explaining that the increased depth of the tank farm
dike area is a safety concern for firemen. We provided the Planning
Director copies of codes from various agencies that explain dikes over
6 feet deep are a hazard and should not be used. It seems the
Planning Commission is more concerned with subjective esthetics than
the safety and welfare of the City's fire department personnel or the
workmen at the site. This revised condition is a safety hazard and could
subject the city to some form of liability. This condition should be

This condition should be revised to include the water disposal wells for
a total of 34 wells. I

Comments on revised conditions
of approval by Planning Commission
This condition is unacceptable as we could not drill the test well(s)
without installing all the masonry walls and installing street
improvements. This condition should only apply to drilling of the final
Phase II wells.
ODORS/VAPORS/AIR POLLUTION
A vapor recovery system shall be installed to recover
'9-84 99% of hydrocarbon emissions during storage and
transfer of crude oil or the lowest achievable
emission rate, whichever is lower. Newer
technology shall be incorporated and installed
during the life of the project as it becomes
available and needed."
This condition is unacceptable. Unable to determine future cost. The
lowest achievable method may be to expensive to apply to this project.
Again, the Planning Commission is trying to over rule the SCAQMD
requirements. The signed lease agreement is base on meeting the
requirements of the SCAQMD, not some arbitrary engineering
standard. The additions to condition number 11 must be eliminated.

Comment:
The South Coast Air Quality Management District is the approving
authority for the installation and operation of a thermal oxidizer. This is
an unacceptable condition. _
Tanks shall be designed and located so that no odors or
fumes can be detected from the adjacent -areas
outside the exterior walls of the project.
No comment.
Operators shall not blow lines to the atmosphere,
This is an unacceptable change to condition no. 8. It is unrealistic to
expect that no emergency conditions occur. There must be a method to
handle unusual or emergency conditions in an oil production facility.

Comment: This is an unacceptable condition. The SCAQMD already has trained
staff for making on-site inspections.
Cond 15 The permittee shall provide for continuous air
quality monitoring in accordance with a
monitoring program approved by the City of
Hermosa Beach.
Comment:
This is not required by the SCAQMD for this type of project because a
vapor recovery system is being installed. This would be expensive and
not necessary. This condition is unacceptable.
Cond 16 The permittee shall monitor drilling mud during
drilling on the site for odorous substances and
take such measures to eliminate any odor which
would be perceptible outside the drill site.
Comment: No comment.
Cond 17 In addition to conventional design features
incorporated in construction plans an
guidelines, the permittee shall provide
automatic vapor detection sensors for
hydrocarbons coupled to automatic shutdown
mechanisms.
Comment: This condition is unacceptable. There is not justifiable reason to require
monitoring systems to shutdown production. Vapor leaks may be from
valves, pipelines or equipment that can be taken out of service and
repaired while the production facilities continue to operate. Many
backup systems are provided in the facility. In addition, it is very difficult
for detection systems to monitor lighter than air vapors which most
hydrocarbons are. Monitoring systems for hydrocarbon vapors are
mainly used for enclosed spaces.
Cond 18 The permittee shall undertake no refining
process or any process for the extraction of
products from natural gas, except for such
minor processes as necessary to make natural
gas acceptable to City gas mains for domestic
use.

Members of the City Council
Hermosa Beach, CA
On a recent visit to one of my children who lives in Manhattan
Beach, I scanned a recent copy of the Easy Reader. The
note saying that somebody brought up oil drilling set off
alarm bells, loud and clear.
My family lived in Hermosa from 1954 to 1979. From 1957
to 1967 I acted as Deputy City Clerk and as such recorded
the official minutes of the Council Meetings. This included
meetings during the years 1957, 58, 59 concerning oil negotiations.
My sincere recommendation is that someone in the present ad-
ministration check the Index to City Council Minutes during
those years and read those pertaining to oil drilling, then
consider the events that resulted therefrom. And what
further unhappy events could come from the Coastal Commission
which was not in existence at that time.
To give you an idea here is a precis of those proceedings from
memory. It started because a consortium of oil companies
(Anderson -Pritchard, Bandinj,Climax Molybedum and SoCal
Petroleum known as ABCS) were busily signing up property owners
in the southern half of Hermosa to acquire the mineral rights
to their property. The idea was that if they could get enough
such contracts, they could have the old no -drilling ordinance
passed by the people repealed and then slant drill into our
tidelands.
The then Mayor, Bill Sachau and City Manager, Chapman Bone
took the matter in hand officially and, after a number of
public hearings an official invitation for bids was made.
Believe me, those meetings were many, long and highly contentious
Every major oil company and some not -so -major were very, very
interested. We employed Warren Christopher of O'Melvany &
Myers as legal counsel and Stanley & Stoltz for technical
matters. A major problem was that Hermosa got those tidelands
from the State of California in trust for all the people
of California. Mr. Christopher's explanation of all the laws
covering trusts was a thing of beauty - clear, concise and
complete.
• �.�.it.,�_.�....'uw...�ix.n�a:�.`..+:..i!��_.�..-
- Hermosa Beach City Counci

Eventually contracts were signed, contracts generally
considered to be the toughest written to that time. From
Shell the City received $50,000 just for signing the contract.
One of the three elections allowed was held, but failed.
Immediately after that the State of Californa instituted
legal action against the City on the contract and Shell
thereupon cancelled the entire contract.
It is my personal opinion that, if anyone drills for oil in
those tidelands it will be the State of California. Then
the City could, conceivably, lose its rights to those tidelands.
Also possible, loss of the rights to the beach, which it also
holds in trust. The beach was dedicated to us by the Hermosa
Land & Water Co in 1912 as part of a real estate swap. Hermosa
gave them a quitclaim deed to any and all rights it might have
had to a part of the city known as "Park Block 60". That
dedication used to hang on the wall next to the City Clerk's
desk, and stated very positively that the beach also was
held in trust for the enjoyment of all the people of California.
On a happier note, we were able to use the money, with matching
funds from the State, for a new pier. A less happy outcome of
the foregoing proceedings was that the City Manager was
forced to resign, Mayor Sachau did not run again, and a very
bitter and divisive recall election was held. Sometime later
a gentleman identifying himself as investigator for the
State's Interim Committee on Oil Negotiations turned up
demanding copies of every document there was on the City's
oil dealings. These were used in Committee hearings along
with personal testimony from City officials.
I do happen to know a great deal about the history of Hermosa
Beach. While I worked there, I reorganized all the official
files and did the research necessary to codify all ordinances.
I also, as time permitted, read the official minutes and pertinent
documents referred to therein right from 1908, making a rough
index as I went along. My prede essor had indexed the minute
record from 1942, I kept it up-to-date and that rough index
was meant to eventually complete the indexing. I left it on
half sheets of paper in a small wooden box in the City Clerk's
desk. Makes very interesting - sometimes hilarious - reading.

Eileen Klein)

Dear City Council:
I am writing as a concerned home owner who has
lived in Hermosa Beach for many years and owned
commercial property for approximately twenty
five years. In the period the City Council has
considered oil drilling on the city yard for
more than ten years. In that period one procras-
tination after another has occurred. I would
think that the Macpherson Oil Company would throw
their hands up in disgust. The environmental con-
cerns have been addressed and approved. We all
know that the City of Hermosa Beach needs the
revenue. There are a few trade offs for everything
worth doing but to continue to procrastinate while
the City of Redondo Beach is draining our oil
reserves and not taking action is unpardonable.
It is like holding a winning lottery ticket and
not cashing it in. As members of the Hermosa Beach
City Council I urge you to listen to the voters
and approve the oil project. The city needs the
revenue.

they are experts on the subject. Well, excuse me, but could I see
their credentials ? These opponents of oil drilling would have you
believe that drilling for oil has all the hazards of an oil refinery.
There is no refinery proposed. Approval for oil recovery was given
by the voters in two election, The city has agreed to a contract
with Macpherson Oil. The contract provides significant revenue
to the city for the bengfit of schools, parks and beach. The more
money the oil company makes, the more the city makes..
After much public testimony an Environmental Impact Report (EIR)
was accepted by the City Council. It has taken nine years to reach
this .point. Now, the Planning Commission has recommended additional
conditions on the project that would make it ludicrous for any oil
company to financially undertake the operation. The Planning Comm.
wants Macpherson Oil to pay for a property value protection plan.
If that is fair, then maybe the city should provide property value
irroot'et'tion for every development, zoning change or action taken.
Potential legal costs would be astronomical to appeal unreasonable
perceived valuations of those wanting to sell that bought their
properties at a low price because of of'76,ke location,' The Macpherson
project appears to be a big improvment over what has existed all
these years. That includes old operating oil wells which were there
when most people in the area purchased their properties. There most
likely are persons that purchased after the ballot measureswere passed
ArePROWN(y. oil drilling. The fact is that oil recovery by modern
methods will provide tie city with revenue for the betterment of
the entire city with a minimum of impact.
Is the Planning Commission working for all the people of Hermosa
Beach or just their own political interests or ambitions ?

I am writing you to ask you to approve the MacPherson oil project

demand anything more.
We urge you to approve this project. Our schools, parks, beaches
and individual property owners will benefit and do the right
thing for Hermosa and for the balance of trade for our country.
Please listen to the voters and approve the oil project and America
will become just a little bit more self-sufficient if this project
succeeds. It is our city's future.

RE: OIL DRILLING
To Whom It May Concern:
As concerned homeowners, we are writing to let you know that
we are strongly opposed to any oil drilling in our city.
We are very disappointed that you are even considering allow-
ing such an industrial endeavor in our densely populated living
community.
Our property values have fallen enough already due to the
lingering recession; the last thing we need are dirty, noisy,
and unsightly oil wells in our midst.
If you insist on continuing on this path, at the very least we
urge you to place additional conditions on the conditional use
permit.
Sincerely,

Attn: Elaine Doerfling, City Clerk
Re: Conditional Use Permit for Oil Development at the City Yard, 555 6th St.
To whom it may concern:
I have some concerns regarding the above. I would like to know the exact
risks we would be taking to have oil development in our backyard. Those
risks would include, but are not limited to:
1) What would happen in the event of a fire? Could our local
fire department handle it? If not, is the oil develpoment
company going to pay for additional fire crews and equipment?
2) What about property values depreciation asdatresuresult
te fit the the
properties
oil
development? Will the contractor pay the
properties surrounding the site decrease in value?
3) How are the fumes going to be controlled? I have never seen
a oil or other chemical site where fumes were not present.
4) In the event of a small or large oil spill, who is going to
pay. Have you ever seen one of these small oil developments?
The area immediately surrounding them are usually filthy and
covered with oil from normal day-to-day operations.
5) How much money is the oil developer investing, does he carry
enough liability insurance, earthquake insurance? In the
event of a catastrophe, would it be feasible that he would
just walk away from the project and let the city take the brunt
of the problems?
As far as benefits go, what exactly would the citizens of Hermosa Beach
receive, specifically. Are we on a percentage split of profits from the
oil developer? If so, be careful who maintains the books!
I think that specific benefits and liabilities have to be presented to the
public and then have a vote to see if we really want this. If it can be
proven that the benefits overwhelm the liabilities, then it probably is a
good idea. But if we are going to be walking on the Greenbelt, smelling
obnoxious odors, hearing oil pumps operate, viewing another eye -sore, no
matter how much they "promise" it just isn't worth it. When all is said
and done, would you like this in your backyard?
Sincerely,,
Robert F. Bayer

Hermosa oil history a tale of thwarted wishes
by Coralie Ebey
Oil is a tattered, old story in
Hermosa Beach. It's like a worn
suit full of holes that you hope no
one will recognize because it's
been hanging in the closet so
long.
In 1984 Macpherson Oil made
an offer to the city to drill on the
city yard, known as the upland
site, at 6th St. and Valley Drive.
Macpherson wanted to slant drill
from the upland site into the
tidelands under the ocean. Their
proposal had to go to an election
to nullify a 1932 anti -oil drilling
ban.
Residents were promised that
oil revenues would be used only
for purchasing and maintaining
open space. Voters approved the
ballot measure in 1989, rescind-
ing the oil ban within the city.
The contract went to the State
Land Commission for approval.
Against its own staff's recom-
mendation, the SLC unanimously
approved the contract. But two
issues are still being contested by
the city.
Yesterday, city manager Rick
Ferrin went to Sacramento to
plead the city's case. The
Macpherson lease agreement calls
for 18.2 percent of the oil profits
to be awarded to the city. That
money is to be split between the
city's general fund and the Tide-
lands Trust Account. The current
split approved by SLC is 70 per-
cent for tidelands trust, with 30
percent going to Hermosa's gen-
eral fund.
Ferrin planned to argue that
the city's general fund should
receive 37.5 percent of 18.2 per-
cent of profits, with 62.5 percent
going to the tidelands trust.
In a letter to State Senator
Robert Beverly, Ferrin wrote that
the $100,000 "earnest money"
that Macpherson put on deposit
with the city should 'not be
subject to the tidelands trust/
general fund division". SLC staff
felt the money should be di-
vided. Ferrin planned to appeal
that decision.
Hermosa was granted title to
her tidelands in 1919. But the
grant came with conditions. Any
money derived from oil and gas
extracted from the tidelands had
to be held in trust for public
harbors, fisheries and navigation
that would benefit the entire
state of California. The tideland
grant actually says that hydrocar-
bon recovery includes 'all the
tidelands and submerged lands,
whether within the present bound-
aries of said city, and situated
below the line of mean high tide
of the Pacific Ocean.'
In 1932 Hermosa Beach voted
in a people's 'anti -oil' drilling
ordinance. The small population
in those days probably didn't
want to see their vacation beach
resort dotted with oil wells. Off-
shore drilling was a thing of the
future.
But as time passed, that black
pot of gold in Hermosa's ocean
attracted city fathers and oil de-
velopers like a pot of honey. All
of that potential revenue laying
fallow tantalized oil companies
and budget -weary city councils.
Two stumbling blocks were pre-
venting oil exploration in Hermosa
tidelands: 1. the 'anti -oil' drilling
ordinance that could only be
reversed by a vote of the people,
and 2. the restriction requiring
the city to use whatever money
accrued from tideland oil for
harbors, fisheries and navigation.
None of the money could go into
the general fund.
The strongest push to develop
tideland oil came in 1957 when
the city of Hermosa Beach en-
tered into a contract with Shell
Continental Oil Company. Shell
won a bid put out by the city
council that included the condi-
tion that "the council will assign
the greatest weight to those pro-
posals which will make funds
available for the accomplishment
of these purposes (municipal
improvements(."
Shell came up with an offer
that was later determined to be
pure subterfuge by the State
Assembly Interim Judicial Com-
mittee on Tidelands. Shell ten-
dered a $500,000 "unconditional
bonus" simply for signing the
contract; an $8.5 million bonus if
the city agreed to let Shell drill in
the tidelands; a $2 million bonus
if Shell could drill on the up-
lands; a $100,000 a year rental on
a 1.5 acre site at 6th Street and
Cypress Avenue to be used as a
separation center and storage yard;
plus a sliding scale royalty with
an 18.70 percent minimum. Shell
also agreed to pay city legal fees
and election costs. It was quite
an offer.
The prestigious law firm of
O'Melveny and Meyers, who as
recently as 1953 had represented
Shell -Continental, was hired by
the city. Their fees were paid for
by the oil company. The head
honcho of the firm was none
other than our now Secretary of
State, Warren Christopher.
An expensive San Francisco
PR firm was engaged by Shell -
Continental to devise the ads and
brochures selling oil to the com-
munity.
Battle lines clearly split Hermosa
Beach. Pro -oilers and anti -oilers
argued at council meetings, so-
cial events, club meetings and
with neighbors. Anti -oilers, with
a $2,500 budget and 12 volunteer
resident lawyers were pitted
against legal giant O'Melveny
and Meyers and the $550,000
Shell spent in their slick cam-
paign.
Shell proved to be a little too
slick. It lost the special election
to lift the anti -oil drilling ordi-
nance by 2-1. Residents didn't
want oil drilling platforms in
their tidelands—and they believed
that moneys offered for invading
her tideland trust would be re-
stricted to harbors, fisheries and
navigation and couldn't be legiti-
mately placed in the general fund.
The Shell -Continental contract
allowed them to call for two
more elections. That's when the
State Assembly Interim Judicial
Committee on Tidelands entered
the picture. They called a special
session in Los Angeles and sub-
poenaed representatives from
Shell -Continental, all the city
council members, and even
Warren Christopher. What they
wanted to know was how the
pro -oil faction justified Hermosa's
general fund profiting from the
tideland trust.
Assemblyman Bruce Allen (San
Mateo(, who chaired the commit-
tee, zeroed in. In a full page Daily
Breeze campaign ad then -Attor-
ney General Pat Brown had found
that the upland "bonus" monies
could be placed in the general
fund.
' Are you aware of any opinion
from the Attorney General on
the subject of upland revenue?'
Allen asked Chistopher.
' My recollection about that is
60
based on newspaper stories and
hearsay...that is hearsay built on
hearsay, and my recollection may
not be accurate about it,' Chris-
topher replied.
The upshot of the assembly
committee hearings was that the
Shell -Continental contract to call
for 2 more elections was invalid
and unenforceable because it
attempted to bind the city coun-
cil in future exercise of its pow-
ers.
Subsequent rulings and opin-
ions made it obvious that the
subterfuge used to subvert tide-
land -restricted funds into city
coffers was illegal. The city could
receive a 'reasonable rental" for
upland property, However in 1980,
William Northrop, executive of-
ficer of the State Lands Commis-
sion, wrote an opinion that
'granted lands would be used by
the city solely for the establish-
ment, improvement and conduct
of public harbors for purposes of
commerce and navigation...oil and
gas development on granted tide-
lands requires such revenues to
be used in accordance with trust
provisions. No tideland grants
have been modified to allow these
revenues to be placed in the
grantees general fund.'
As if all of this wasn't enough,
the city of Hermosa Beach asked
the courts for declaratory relief to
allow Shell's "bonus' and 'ante'
funds to be used for municipal
spending. They were denied.
Eventually, all the Shell -Conti-
nental "unconditional" moneys
were spent by the city to partially
provide a new pier and purchase
private property on either side of
the pier—in accordance with our
trust.
A Mayor's Blue Ribbon Com-
mittee on Oil was subsequently
appointed. They studied the is-
sues and concluded that upland
drilling (straight down) would
not be subject to the tideland
trust—but that the use of an up-
land site for slant drilling into the
tidelands would result in the
same restrictive grant uses as oil
derricks in the ocean. Tapping
tideland pools would bring in
money from the tidelands—which
belong to the state of California
and not Hermosa Beach alone.
While most Hermosa Beach
anti -oil residents rested easily,
relying on opinions and court
rulings limiting oil revenues from
the tidelands restricted solely to
trust use, city fathers continued
to probe for ways to profit from
the off -shore honey pot. Letters
and pleas for help by a succes-
sion of councils, city managers
and planners have been sent
through the years, asking state
representatives to intervene on
the city's behalf.
The current Macpherson Oil
agreement is a result of those
efforts.
It's the same old coat worn by
different people. The State Lands
Commission has a new cast.
Assemblyman Bruce Allen is dead.
Pat Brown has retired and the big
guy at O'Melveny and Meyers,
Warren Christopher, who under
oath couldn't recall- what his
company was advising Hermosa
Beach to do, is now President
Clinton's Secretary of State try-
ing to decipher Bosnia.
The only fact that remains
unchanged is that the city is
simply the holder of Hermosa
Beach tidelands oil in trust for all
people in the state of California.
The bearer of any trust may not
profit from it.
Tomorrow's history is yet un-
written. But in 1994 drilling may
begin at 6th St. and Valley Dr.
For that to happen the city must
purchase or lease a new city
yard.
Wells will be erected—and
although pumping is underground,
individual wells will have to be
cleaned with derricks from four
times a year to once every four
years.
Trucks, construction, noise and
street breakdown in the Valley
area will be inevitable. We don't
even want to think of the conse-
quences of a spill either on land
or in the ocean.
And law suits—if the city tries
too hard to benefit from its trust
position by spending tideland funds
for upland purposes, law suits
are likely to surface along with
the black gold. ER

I will be unable to attend the public hearing regarding this oil project
so I am writing this letter to inform you that I am strongly against this
project and mg reasons are as follows.
First, I bought my house at 632 8th St. about 2i years ago totally unaware
of any proposed oil drilling project that was voted on back in 1984. I would not
have made such a huge investment had I known that an oil pipeline would be two
blocks from my house. Since I have lived here I have learned what a large res—
idential turnover this area has. It seems unfair that I might have to live with
this project and never did have a say in it. I wonder how many of the people that
originally voted for this project still even live here. Isn't there a limitation
on how long a time can pass from the time something was voted on till the time
the actual project actually starts.
Second, I would like to know what precautions have been proposed to guard
against any fumes,noise pollution, or any other intrusion in the surrounding
neighborhoods. This area is very dense and I hope you do not expect the residents
in the immediate area of this project to live :with the continuous noise of the
drilling. That would be a torture few would put up with. The same applies
to any of the fumes.
I don't think this was afair item to vote on in the beginning. Of course any
resident living away from the project snl its negative side would vote for it,
being told of its revenue earning potential for the city and possibly less taxes
for residents. But the people in the immediate area obviously could vote against
it and obviously be the minority. So the people in this area didn't really have
a chance.

ATTN: PLANNING COMMISSION
Dear Sirs,
RECEIVED
MAY 2 0 1993
PLANNING DEPT.
Thank you for looking further into the negative effects of the
proposed oil drilling in Hermosa Beach. It's amazing to me that this
project has progressed as far as it has without all of the negative
effects being thoroughly looked at. From what I have read, McPherson
Oil has misrepresented many facts about the project and that the staff
of the SLC recommended against oil drilling in Hermosa Beach but that
the SLC okayed it anyway. As I have mentioned before, this project
should have never been voted on for the reason that as long as the pro-
ject was not near someone they would vote for the project. Who wants to
live near this eyesore along with the added noise, fumes and congestion
that goes along with it. I bet this project would have never been con-
sidered at Hermosa Valley Park.
I also can't understand that if all the revenues from the oil is to be
used solely for the development of open space, then, how will this help
Hermosa's money problem and reduce other peoples taxes? Unless, of course,
years down the line they change the rule so that the city can use the money
for other uses, which means we were misrepresented and lead down a primrose
path.
Let me try to understand that the city wants to take open space, put an ugly,
noisy, unhealthly oil project on it in a very dense part of town to promote
open space? I'm sorry but, to be frank, I think the council is selling us
(the residents near this project) out.
I think this should be scrapped onca and for all. It is much too controversial
and has been a divided issue all along.
It is a very weak excuse that the people voted for it in 1984 and then again
in 1987. The facts have been distorted as well as the benefits and expected
revenues. I bought my house after the vote and didn't even know of this pro-
ject. The people that would have to live with this thing do not want it.
Like I have mentioned before I know the city needs money but not at the expense
of my health or lifestyle and I will fight it with whatever it takes.

Dear Mr. Northcraft:
July 27, 1989
It has come to my attention that there is a health and safety
concern about permitting oil drilling on a school site in your
City.
As a former coach and administrator at Bevery Hills High School,
cannot recall any serious problem with oil drilling at our
school during my 31 years of tenure (1947-1978) in the District.
1 might add that the benefits derived from revenues received
far outweighed any inconvenience or disruption which might
have occurred during that time.

Re: CUP 93-12/Oil Development at the City Yard
Ladies and Gentlemen:
CR
&K
This law firm represents the owners of several parcels of real property in the City of Hermosa
Beach, including one parcel which abuts the proposed oil development. We have been retained
to review the oil development project as it affects our clients' properties. The purpose of this
letter is to put you on notice that there are significant adverse effects inherent in the project
about which the public has not been properly informed and about which we intend to take further
action.
Although the proposed oil project presents a significant risk to the life, health and safety of
adjacent and nearby building occupants, the welfare of the M-1 building occupants adjacent to
the proposed site has been completely ignored by the EIR. For instance, in its discussion of the
noise from construction and operations, the report is replete with references to the "nearest
residential property." However, it makes no mention of the effect on the adjacent M-1
properties. In many ways, the proposed project is extremely detrimental to the continued
viability of the existing businesses, and it will have a destructive effect on the marketability, and
therefore, value of the underlying real estate. The EIR fails to measure or discuss those effects,
despite the fact that literally millions of dollars of property values are being impacted.
The impact of the rather intense industrial activity during the first three years, in what is
projected to be a soft economic period, at best, followed by disruption for "work -over" activities
up to six months a year for the next thirty years, coupled with the adverse atmosphere created
by the project is monumental to the community. The addition of an admitted nuisance, will

create an aesthetic shock to Hermosa Beach and surrounding communities consisting of visual,
odorous and noise impairments, vibration, land movement, introduction of toxic substances, and
added industrial truck movement and attendant traffic conditions, all of which are clearly
detrimental to quality of life and value of property.
From the information contained in the EIR, specific impacts can be placed in four categories:
(1) life/health/safety issues; (2) business and property concerns; (3) residential and family
issues; and (4) community issues. We will address them separately.
1. Life/health/safety. Public safety concerns should have included the impact the project
will have on the occupants of adjacent buildings, and there should have been substantial concern
for prevention of risk rather than the "reduction" of consequences. Best Available Control
Technology (as the mitigation is referred to) is an elusive term. What if available technology
is not good enough to protect the residents and occupants of the nearby properties? Methane gas
production, along with ethane, propane and butane, plus hydrogen sulfide, are fire and air
quality risks incumbent with this project. For example, propane, being heavier than air, can
pool and be ignited by equipment used in near proximity and that hazard cannot be eliminated
in the proposed project. Whether or not the risk is "substantial", is it a risk the City can afford
to take?
Although the EIR raises concerns about fire, including the impacts of 'flaring", along with the
possibility of explosions, the conclusions it reaches are not satisfactory given the close proximity
of the nearby businesses. We are concerned about the production and containment of natural
gas and methane gas leaks. The reason that the Gas Company always responds very quickly
when notified of a leak is because there is a risk of explosion. This project will have leaks in
its ordinary course of operations. The flaring process, which is the burning of excess gases
generated when pulling up gas with the oil, includes the generation of high levels of heat. There
will initially be an open flame, and later, a "contained" open flame. There will also be
hydrogen sulfide and toxic solvents present on the property and in the air. We do not believe
that these issues and risks have been adequately disclosed to the public.
The EIR states that the drilling is not a "closed system" and.that there will be fumes and odors
generated from the site, as well as from diesel trucks coming to and from the site. There will
be open testing of facilities in hydrocarbon bearing zones, there will also be some effect from
chemical generative processes on the M-1 buildings adjacent. Does OSHA permit such
conditions to exist in close proximity to the existing adjacent businesses? We did not find an
EIR discussion of that issue.

Oil production is deemed to be a cancer causing activity in the State of California. Owners of
property near or adjacent to property on which oil production is taking place are not only
subjected to the effects, but they may also become liable for cancer causing effects on their
tenants or employees.
According to the EIR, the California Edison Company has expressed some concern about
meeting the high voltage requirements. Yet the safety risks attendant to high voltage usage are
not addressed in the EIR.
Health hazards may be created for recreational use of the ocean due to the injection of drilling
fluids and solvents which are pumped into oil depletion areas to offset projected subsidence.
The oil companies openly admit that seepage of oil through natural fissures exists and one can
logically surmise that the toxic substances to be pumped in will also seep into the water and onto
the beaches through existing fissures.
:2. Business and Property Concerns. Despite the fact that the proposed project site is
:surrounded by businesses and that there is a significant daytime population working in the area,
the EIR failed to discuss the project's impact on those businesses. Surrounding business
operators will be adversely impacted not only by potential liability for the health, safety and
welfare of their employees but also by the possibility that employees may not be willing to work
,around such a hazard, or will generate numerous OSHA complaints.
Moreover, the flaring activity will have noise, visual and heat generation impacts on the
surrounding properties, the exact measurements of which cannot be made because the flaring
process is not sufficiently described. The degenerative impact of chemicals and other by-
products of the operation on nearby buildings was not completely addressed. Nor was the
additional congestion on 6th Street and the traffic nuisance created thereby discussed from a
business standpoint.
There has been no consideration whatsoever of the adjacent property owners with respect to soil
contamination either from existing usage or from proposed usage despite the fact that there has
been previous leakage from the yard into the adjacent properties. The oil cellars for this project
are described in one place in the EIR to be ten feet deep, and in another place twenty feet deep.
The deeper digging is apparently next to the M-1 buildings, yet the impact on those buildings
was not addressed.

The EIR admits that the issue of subsidence (the slow sinking of the land surface) has been a
part of California environment concerns for many years and that "some" subsidence will occur.
It concludes, however, with no further discussion, that "no damage to surface structures is
expected to occur." We would like to know how "subsidence" might affect the City yard and
surrounding properties.
There have been no soils engineering studies conducted, there are no specifications on the
equipment and vibration isolators for the surrounding building impacts, and there is no
information on what historical data has been experienced in this regard. To our knowledge,
there was no vibration study made and the impact of the vibration to be generated by the
proposed project on the deterioration of nearby structures, disruption of work, and the ultimate
impact on property values was not addressed.
Although it was largely dismissed as an issue by the EIR, we are concerned about the "surging" __
and temporary power outages, tripped alarm systems and damage or loss of computer data in
computers without power surge protectors.
The obvious degradation to the surrounding property values should have prompted responsible
concern by the City. At a minimum, before going further, the City should obtain California
State certified property appraisals of the surrounding properties, including the economic impact
this project will have on their owners.
3. Residential and Family Issues. These concerns are mostly for a decrease in the viability
of the beach community, the nuisance of visual, odor, and the perception of odor that will be
present in the community, the consequent loss in property values, and the consequent loss in
rentals. In addition to the overall negative impact that oil production brings, the area -wide
visual impact of a 135 -foot oil derrick is a further deterrent to an improved real estate market.
According to the EIR, traffic on Pacific Coast Highway; Pier Avenue, and Valley Drive will be
severely impacted, especially in the early stages, because the project allows for up to one large
truck every ten minutes for six hours daily to be added to existing traffic. This will be going
on for three years and will have the potential of continuing up to six months out of each year
for the next thirty years. This will have an obvious impact not only on the local residents and
employees, but on the commuters from surrounding communities. It will certainly make use
of the green belt less desirable.
The EIR admits that noise levels will at times exceed the City's "Noise Element Goals" and that
the peak noise of 70+ dBA at 200 feet exceeds even the Oil Code permissible rates. When the
Oil Code was created specifically for this project, how can it now be acceptable to exceed those
CRK\ 1992.01 \ Dowsing \Counc il.l.tr.

rates.
4. Community Issues. Why isn't there any reference in the October, 1992, research,
investigations and findings report by the Regional/Urban Design Assistance Team ("R/UDAT")
to the proposed oil project? This project constitutes a major undertaking by the City. Was the
team told about the possible oil production and the construction of a 135 -foot oil derrick? One
of the Team's recommendations was that three-dimensional depictions be provided to the citizens
of any planned building and design activities. Certainly such a depiction would show that the
derrick will be visible from the beach, pier and the downtown areas as it will be situated on a
location higher than the Southern California Edison Company, (which has buildings and stacks
between 90 and 200 feet). The oil derrick will be the most prominent feature in the beach
communities. Is that the image the City of Hermosa Beach wants to project?
Given the Hermosa Beach planning concepts acknowledging an Urban Design Element, it should
-be readily concluded that this project is a program of "massive single use" and, as such, limits
.on height and density are at issue. Based on cost alone, disregarding the visual impairment and
traffic adversity not truly of a temporary nature, this project cannot be considered anything but
massive single use; and the scale of the City will clearly be affected by it.
As you are well aware, without any discussion or review of this project, there have already been
many concerns raised about the viability of the City's urban plans. Given the considerable
cumulative, and adverse impacts that this project will have on the City, it does not seem
reasonable to take further steps without full and adequate notice to it's citizens, followed by
public hearing with true, correct and complete disclosures presented.
The citizens of Hermosa Beach should also be very concerned by statements recently made that
the City and the State Division of Oil and Gas "may" require insurance or a bond to cover the
potential liability for health and property damages is very troubling. There must be adequate
insurance if this project were to be allowed to proceed. Moreover, we question whether
adequate insurance can be obtained, and, if so, at whose expense? The City says the oil vendor
is liable, and the oil vendor says the City is.
At one point the EIR states that the project will only need 11 kilowatts to run one well pump,
yet in another place it states that 8500 kilowatts per day will be required - enough to power 530
homes. Electric power generation is about 30% efficient, meaning 70% of the energy neededto
retrieve the oil will be wasted. From an environmental prospective, is it really a good idea to
waste 70% of one energy source to retrieve another? Especially when there is no assurance that
the drilling will ultimately be productive (after all, Redondo Beach gave up on it years ago).

To recap, the following are facts and issues which we believe should be publicly disseminated
before any further action is taken:
a. At night the drilling noise, (a 24-hour operation), will be perceptible inside residences
with doors and windows closed.
b. There will be power outages and surges during the drilling that will affect the
surrounding properties.
c. The fumes and odors from the site, and from diesel trucks, will be evident throughout
the community. The drilling is not a closed system, there are prevailing winds
throughout the area. There are open testing facilities of the hydrocarbon bearing zones,
and there are many odors that can be smelled in diluted concentrations far beyond the
limits of chemical detection, yet they are difficult to measure by existing equipment.
d. The stacked tubing removed from the wells can lie dormant for up to 8 hours before they
are cleaned with solvents. There can be spilled fluids, the burning of waste gases, all
of these will be evident around the site and in the community.
e. The upper portion of the 135 -foot drilling rig will be visible from the beach and the pier
for at least three years. We do not think that the aesthetic appeal of an oil derrick in
Hermosa Beach is a subjective issue. And, after the derrick is removed, there will be
pumps, 16 feet in height, up to 30 of them. Additionally, during the thirty-year life of
this project, the portable well work -over rigs (which are not described in either size or
appearance in the EIR and were only recently described verbally to be 80 to 90 feet
high), will also be visible to the surrounding community. These will, no doubt, be of
an industrial appearance, and not the light manufacturing previously accepted. These
work -over rigs can be in place from three to six months out of the year, for 30 years.
It is difficult to make sense out of the claim that this is not of significant impact to the
community.
f. Surplus gas is flared, supposedly in an "enclosed system" to minimize night-time glare
from combustion. There has been no description of the size, height or shape of the
equipment needed to accomplish this flaring process.
g.
Transportation and circulation issues reveal that oil tanker trucks traversing the area will
go by many multi -unit residential areas along Valley Drive and Herondo. There will
be a conflict between regular traffic, the oil tankers, and the pipeline excavation, even
if for a short duration, while the pipe is being laid down Valley. The drill site will also
CRK\ 1992.01 \ Dowsing \Counc i I. Ltr.
c c
The City of Hermosa Beach
May 28, 1993

entertain fifty auto trips and thirty-six truck trips for this initial "up to three-year" period.
Because of the City Director of Public Works' stipulation that truck traffic will avoid the
7 to 9 a.m. and 3 to 7 p.m. peak traffic periods, the oil tanker trucks will be allowed to
travel up to six hours of up to 36 truck trips, which means there is allowable one tanker
truck every ten minutes for six hours out of the day for three years. There will be a
major impact to Pacific Coast Highway, which has high traffic all day. Have the
business owners on Pacific Coast Highway been informed about the traffic pattern?
Furthermore, has there been coordination with the adjacent impacted communities of
Redondo Beach_ and Manhattan Beach? Not according to their traffic engineering
departments.
h. The "Local Coastal Plan of 1980," referred to in the EIR, has not been revised, there is
no current plan certified with the California Coastal Commission, and within the local
coastal program, for Hermosa Beach, the area where the oil operation is to take place
is currently designated as a "Scenic View Corridor."
The green belt of the Scenic View Corridor is right next to the proposed truck route, and
will be clearly affected by its noise and odor problems.
j. If the City employs its City Oil Production Code, this operation cannot be permitted.
Workovers, just from the sound aspect, will have 60 to 70 dBA at residential property
lines. This is up to six months per year. In addition, peak noise levels of 70 dBA will
also occur. This is not allowed by the oil code. The example Huntington Beach site that
the oil vendor chose for comparison is a non -relative operation, and it has community
problems of its own.
k. Liquid wastes will be generated by the proposed project. The water to oil ratio for
Redondo's abandoned operations reached close to 97% water to 3% oil. EIR states that
prior to any discharge of wastes into the City sewer system, they should be sampled and
tested for the presence of hazardous materials and any necessary treatment implemented.
Who will monitor this process? Where will the water be dumped? If the waste water
is to be dumped into the ocean, there is potential liability to neighboring Redondo
Beach/King Harbor boats, fishing and swimming activities, in addition to the potential
liability for tar and fouled water from fluids and solvents that may leak under water from
operations.
1. If the City's past history relative to its contamination of the existing City yard site is any
indication of future conduct, relocation of the City yard will create potential liability for
contamination and remediation expenses on yet another piece of property.

m. Those citizens who use the beaches might be interested to know whether there will be
a change in the ocean floor caused by subsidence and, if so, how that will impact on
current beach use. Those same citizens, as well as the owners of boats in the King
Harbor Marina, might be interested to know that the injection of drilling fluids and
solvents to offset the projected subsidence could seep into the ocean waters.
n. There are two Lessees of the City yard property, namely, Windward Associates, a
California limited partnership, the General Partners of which are Donald R. MacPherson
and MacPherson Oil Company, Donald R. MacPherson, President, and GLG Energy,
L.P., a Delaware limited partnership, the General Partner of which is GLG Energy, Inc.,
a Texas Corporation, Carl E. Jameson, President. As the term of this project is 35
years, we assume that financial investigations have been made of those entities' ability
to perform.
o. In order to "urbanize" the oil recovery project, a 16 -foot wall will surround the site.
Presumably, the graffiti taggers will disregard this opportunity.
In addition to the problems which business owners will face, as described hereinabove, financing
for the owners of many of the surrounding properties will not be available should this project
go forward. Please be advised that the funding requirements issued by the Small Business
Administration to lenders making loans under its auspices require that property offered as
security be "free from contamination by any Hazardous Substances" and that "if such
contamination is present or reasonably appears to be present, the loan may be canceled at any
time in the sole discretion of the lender and/or the SBA." The appraisal guidelines issued by
FREDDIE MAC for all loans to be considered under its program states "[t]he appraiser must
consider any known environmental influences or conditions, make any appropriate adjustments
to market value to reflect any such influences or conditions, and comment on the effect the
influences or conditions have on the marketability or value of the subject property. Examples
of adverse environmental influences or conditions include...proximity of the property to
industrial sites...that use or store...petroleum products." And, lastly, FANNIE MAE requires
an environmental assessment of all properties which are to act as security for its Delegated
Underwriting and Servicing product line, the results of which must indicate no unacceptable
environmental conditions. "Presence of high-risk neighbors with evidence of spills or soil or
groundwater contamination on or around their properties"...will result in a loan application being
denied.
Burdened by the noise, offensive visual background, heat and vibration forces, potential
contamination, and lack of available financing, the surrounding properties will become
worthless. In such event, we believe the City will be liable for all such losses tender the theory
of inverse condemnation. An inverse condemnation results from the invasion or appropriation
CRK\ 1992.01 \ Dowsing \Counc i I. I.tr.
The City of Hermosa Beach
May 28, 1993
Page nine
of some valuable property right by or under the auspices of a public agency which directly and
specially affects the property owner to his injury. If, as a result of the adverse impacts to
surrounding properties, either environmental, aesthetic or otherwise, the property owners suffer
injury, the City will be liable for all proximate losses.
The stated reason for not selecting the "No Project" alternative to mitigating the adverse
environmental effects was that such alternative would not "provide for the managed production
of natural resources and denies the City the needed revenues" which would be generated by the
activity. Whatever the perceived or promised revenues, we seriously doubt that they will be
sufficient to offset the cost to the City of 1) relocating the City yard, 2) increased maintenance
of City streets, 3) liability for personal and property damage claims, and 4) purchase of
surrounding properties inversely condemned by the project.
We urge you to select the "No Project" alternative now.
Very truly yours,

THE FOLLOWING IS REGISTERED AND DELIVERED TO THE CITY AS PROTEST
AND APPEAL TO THE ACTION AND PROCESS BY THE CITY OF HERMOSA BEACH
PLANNING COMMISSION, PLANNING DEPARTMENT, AND ASSISTANT CITY ATTOR-
NEY REPRESENTING THE CITY REGARDING THE APPLICATION FOR CONDITIONAL
USE PERMIT (CUP) FOR OIL PRODUCTION ACTIVITIES AT THE CITY YARD IN
HERMOSA BEACH, MEETING HELD 1 JUNE 1993.
The lease agreement the City has already entered into with the -
oil vendor, McPherson Oil, specifically states in Section 8.a. that
McPherson shall furnish the details concerning oil and gas facilities
and pipelines to be used for the production, processing, measurement
and transportation of oil, gas, and other hydrocarbon substances from
the leased lands...THIS WAS NOT DONE. Further, there has been virtu-
ally no coordination with the cities of Redondo Beach and Manhattan
Beach on the impacts of Hermosa oil production to their communities.
It is further stated in the lease obligation that submission of
all information and data required and provided by the oil vendor and
accepted by the City in the lessees application for a CUP from the
City shall be deemed to satisfy this requirement.
This states that all such detail is to be provided in the applic-
ation -- which means before it is approved by the Planning Commis-
sion; and that further, the oil vendor is not required to provide
any further detail until after they have already completed their
construction and impact to the land and the surrounding environment.
As was evidenced in the Planning Commission meeting of 1 June,
proceedings and a vote were conducted by coercion from the Planning
Director, Asst. City Attorney, and the the oil vendor without com-
plete information. The Planning Director stated he had only provided
a large packet of information one working day before this meeting
date, and had provided significantly additional information that
same day that the Planning Commission was walking into the meeting
to hear continued public comment. Obviously, the public had no access
to this information, or lack of it.

} An
p. 2 of 2
It is further noted that a multi -page document of factual impacts,
with attachments, provided to the Planning Commission by the Stoner
family from the previous meeting one month before was not fully
transmitted by the Planning Director to the Commission as directed,
until it was brought up at this 1 June meeting.
Given the disorderly and incomplete file for the oil project be-
ing readily inaccessible to the general public, and that full and
complete information for public and Commission review was not pro-
vided in whole -- and what elements that were provided, were not
done so in a timely or professional manner -- such process and act-
ion for a CUP is unacceptable. The issue demands complete and open
public review -before any such action is approved by the Commission
or the City.
Additional coercion was exhibited out of order at this last meet-
ing by the oil applicant in concert with the. Planning Director and
Asst. City Attorney present to force a vote on an incomplete docu-
ment with no public review of its true content. The Asst. City At-
torney further stated that there would be 10 days available for
public appeal, but that the submitted CUP document would not be
ready for 10 days, but that the "10 day" appeal period would stand
as having started, anyway(!). Such abuse of good and responsible
city government is intolerable. It has been a continuing pattern that
shows there are forces related and involved with this oil project
in=.the_Eity and with the oil company that do not want full and open
public exposure to all details and impacts regarding this project.
There have been numerous distortions of the truth concerning this
project by McPherson Oil and the Planning Director at the 4 May
Planning Commission meeting that continued to the 1 June meeting
that demand to be answered directly, completely, and in public. The
City of Huntington Beach, which is continually drawn in as favorable
comparison of an oil project for Hermosa Beach, publicly recognizes
the deleterious effects of oil production on healthy city growth and
is attempting to eliminate such activities in residential areas; and

COPIES: Hermosa Beach City Council (A. Wiemans,Mayor; S.Edgerton,
Mayor Pro Tem; R. Essertier; R. Benz;K. Midstokke)
Daily Breeze; Easy Reader; File.
It is appreciated that you have continued to apply closer
scrutiny to the proposed oil project in Hermosa Beach.
Such a proposal has demanded there be complete and organized
;public review (readily accessible to all) of such a questionable_
:;;;proposal prior to any phase proceeding further. Such a complete
,,public review and forthright presentation by the oil vendor have
;'both been absent thus far. Your decision to finally have public
city officials examine this proposal is to be commended. The most
a open presentation of all the facts regarding oil production in
,,such an area is further required, along with necessary (and cur-
rently absent) coordination with at least the surrounding commun-
`ies of Redondo and Manhattan. The protection of the welfare of
=•the people of this community is the most important charge of public
officials.
Your further attention is directed at the enclosed paid notice
in today's L.A. Times by locally operating oil companies as to the
dangers inherent in oil and gas operations in So. California. It
is very suspect that the so-called "scavenging" oil companies. have.
not included themselves in this notice, and that in particular (as
you remember in the Planning Commission meeting of 4 May.9),the
proposed oil vendor for a Hermosa Beach project (MacPherson)DENIED
such information and the consequent significant negative impacts to
the health and safety of residents and building occupants, as well
as property and business values in Hermosa Beach.
Under any normal and open review, common sense and logical infor-
mation show that oil production does not belong in the coastal com-
munity of Hermosa Beach.
Sincerely,
Phil Dowsing, fit\ the Stoner family, Hermosa Beach

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ON THE HERMOSA BEACH OIL DRILLING PROGRAM
PREPARED BY CITY STAFF
OCTOBER, 1991
1. How did the City get involved in the oil drilling effort?
In 1984, voters lifted a 52 year ban on oil drilling by al-
lowing drilling from the City Yard. A request for proposal
process for upland drilling was conducted in 1986, which set
the percentage of City revenues. The only bidder was Mac-
pherson Oil Company, which also provided $100,000 as part of
the bid. The City accepted the bid and signed a lease with
Macpherson. The company has since signed lease agreements
with property owners for mineral and pass through rights.
One purpose of the City lease was to have the oil company pay
for the environmental impact report, which is required before
the state can approve tidelands drilling. The EIR was cer-
tified on May 8, 1990, and the proposed lease to use the Yard
for drilling into both the uplands and tidelands was nego-
tiated in 1990 and 1991.
2. What is the nature of the operation of oil drilling in Hermo-
sa Beach?
The oil drilling has evolved to be all at the City Yard site
at 6th and Valley in Hermosa Beach. Thirty wells will be
drilled on a slant basis to recover oil from reservoirs
underneath the City as well as underneath the tidelands which
are held in trust by the City of Hermosa Beach. The facility
will be walled, landscaped and sound protected. A draped
tower will rise from the site to house the drilling rig. The
oil will be piped from the facility to area refineries, re-
ducing the truck traffic.
The environmental review of this project requires that it be
"an urban drill site", which will look nothing like a typical
oil field. A similar facility exists in Huntington Beach,
and a display of picture are available for viewing.
3. What revenues will the City get from this program?
City revenues are those funds unrestricted by state law but
restricted by a vote of the people of Hermosa Beach to be
used for maintenance and improvement of open space in Hermosa
Beach. Tidelands revenue is that revenue restricted by state
law to improve the availability of the tidelands for the use
of the state's population. The revenue estimates have a wide
range. The most significant factors influencing revenues are
the amount of oil and the price of oil. The conservation
estimate is based on a City consultant's estimate of the oil
reserves and same prices. The optimistic estimate is based
on reserves and deeper reservoirs and some inflation.

Estimate

$58.6 million
$42 million $126.1 million
The City must receive at least $500,000 per year once in full
operation, or 10% of the land value after 12 years. Millions
of dollars would also be received by landowners in Hermosa
Beach who would receive royalties for mineral and pass
through rights from ownership of lands above the oil reser-
ves. Also, the Hermosa Beach City School District will
receive 20 cents per barrel from all oil produced under this
program. Conservatively, this would result in approximately
$2 million in revenue to the School District.
4. What negative environmental impacts are likely to be felt by
our citizens?
A very extensive Environmental Impact Report was certified on
this project, and identified all potential noise, air pollu-
tion, vibration, settlement, and traffic impacts. Extensive
conditions exist to mitigate those impacts. The citizens
will notice the 135 ft. tower that will store the oil rig,
and the construction and maintenance will generate some traf-
fic to and from the site. Noise, air pollution, vibration,
settlement, °and odors are expected to be nominal when all
required conditions are in place.
Z. How is the City protected from incurring additional
liability?
The oil company is required to provide $3 million of in-
surance, as well as state required bonds. Insurance will
list the City as an additional insured. Further, the City is
requiring contributions to an environmental trust fund which
eventually will accumulate from 5% of net proceeds from both
the oil company and the City's tidelands revenues. This fund
is to grow until it reaches $6 million, and then will con-
tinue to grow from interest earnings. The City is also pro-
tected by the value of the oil field, and the assets of the
oil company general partners, Macpherson Oil Company and GLG
Energy, Inc.
6. What if hazardous wastes are found on the site?
The City Yard site currently has fuel tanks on'the site, and
was formerly a construction dump site. As owner, the City is
responsible for these items and any contaminated soil that
may be found. If the City's cost to remediate contaminated
material exceeds $50,000, the oil company must pay or advance
the additional amount or the City may opt to cancel the
lease.

7. What will happen to the City Yard during the 35 years of oil
production?
During the testing phase, the oil company will advance
$75,000 to relocate part of the yard, allow continued use of
a portion of the current yard by City employees, and pay rent
for additional facilities. The oil company has immediately
advanced $21,000 to conduct an engineering study of the best
available new site for a yard. The site being considered is
the rear of the Community Center. City Yard operations no
doubt will be disrupted during the testing phase until they
are permanently relocated in new quarters, but the existing
site is out of date and needed major refurbishment.
8. Does the City have any money at risk on this project?
Not being a risk taking entrepreneurial enterprise, the City
has attempted to reduce its risks. Of course, this would
increase the risk to the oil company, and difficult negotia-
tions were involved in order to work out a satisfactory ar-
rangement for the degree of risk by both parties. The City
has invested several hundred thousand dollars in staff time
and attorneys' fees. It has kept accurate records of these
costs, and hopes to get full reimbursement from future tide-
lands revenues.
9. What are the remaining hurdles to getting the oil drilling
underway?
The conditional use permit process, which places required
conditions to mitigate negative environmental impacts, has
yet to be accomplished. Most significantly, slant drilling
into the tidelands, where a large reservoir of oil is expec-
ted to be found, requires the approval of the State Lands
Commission.

1.0 INTRODUCTION
1.1 Purpose and Scope
This special report was prepared to explore risk assessment and safety
aspects associated with the Hermosa Beach project. The design basis
accidents have been postulated with the intent of examining a spectrum of
risks that can be associated with oil drilling and production. They include
fires, explosions, spills, and releases of materials.
2.0 RISK ASSESSMENT
2.1 Setting
The drilling for and the handling of flammable liquids can create a hazard
to public safety if a release or spill occurs. Crude oil is included in this
group. The release or ignition of such liquids, and the rupture or
disintegration of the containment vessel, are hazards which can impact the
area surrounding the liquid storage area. These hazards, or accidents, are
potential impacts. The likelihood of the hazard occurring is called the risk
of upset.
2.2 Methodology
The methodology utilized in this report is known as the Hazard Footprint
Risk Assessment methodology. Originally developed by Reese -Chambers
System Consultants for the Port Authorities of Los Angeles and Long
Beach, it has received wide acceptance throughout the regulatory
community. This methodology has been accepted for use in assessing
project risk by the California State Lands Commission (SLC), the Coastal
Commission, and numerous local governmental agencies. It is therefore
an acceptable methodology to apply to the Hermosa Beach Project.
The methodology analyzes a facility and determines what kind of accidents
can occur. These accidents are called design basis accidents (DBAs).
Guidelines are presented on how to establish these DBAs.
Design basis •accidents (DBAs) are intended to be events or upsets which
can occur at a facility. DBAs are not postulated based on simultaneous
occurrence of multiple unlikely events. A DBA is evaluated from two
standpoints: 1) the probability or expected frequency of occurrence, and 2)
the consequence of the accident if it does occur, measured in terms of
injury or death to any members of the general public.

Once the DBAs are established, the extent of possible hazard, known as
"hazard footprint", is calculated.
2.3 Hazard Footprint
Hazard footprint is defined as that area impacted by the hazard imposed by
a specified vulnerable resource. Hazard footprints are calculated for the
following:
2.3.1 Thermal Radiation or Radiant Heat
The radiant heat level used for the hazard footprint is 1,600
Btu/sq.ft/hr. This is the heat level that can begin causing second
degree burns to human skin after 30 seconds of exposure. People
wearing jackets or even long sleeve shirts are afforded some degree
of protection and would require longer exposure or exposure to
higher levels of heat before receiving second degree burns. A
higher radiant heat level would be required to cause harm to people
shielded by objects or located indoors. The Code of Federal
Regulations, Title 49, cites the radiant heat exposure level limit for
buildings that are occupied by 20 or more persons as being 4,000
Btu/sq.ft/hr.
The radiant heat hazard footprint is calculated based on the material
burning and the area on fire.
2.3.2 Flammable Gas Cloud From A Release
Some flammable materials when released, produce flammable
vapors which can drift with the wind producing a flammable gas
cloud hazard footprint. If this cloud is ignited, it will burn back
towards its source resulting in a pool fire. People inside this
flammable cloud are susceptible to burns. If the vapors are ignited
inside an enclosed area, an explosion could occur. The flammable
gas hazard footprint is only required for flammable materials, i.e.,
materials with flash points less than 100 degrees Fahrenheit. The
hazard footprint extends out to the point where the concentration of
the vapor in air falls below the lower flammability limit (LFL) of the
material. The LFL is the minimum concentration of the vapors in air
where combustion can occur. At lower concentrations, the cloud
cannot be ignited.
2.3.3 Blast Overpressure and Flying Debris From An Explosion
Vapors can be present inside tanks and if ignited, an explosion can
3
33�
•
•
occur resulting a shock wave (blast overpressure) and flying
debris from the tank. The methodology requires the blast
overpressure and flying debris hazard footprints be calculated for all
tanks, other than floating roof tanks, containing flammable or
combustible materials.
The blast overpressure hazard footprint extends out to 2.5 psi. This
is blast overpressure level that can begin causing eardrum rupture.
The flying debris hazard footprint is much more problematic in
nature. It is the distance that pieces of the tank may travel. The
distance they travel and the particular area in which they travel are
highly variable. It has been determined that the flying debris hazard
footprint from a pressure vessel such as an LPG vessel can extend
out to 1,500 ft. On the other hand, the flying debris hazard footprint
for a storage tank designed and constructed to API 650 standards
with a weak seam roof is between 680 and 800 ft. depending on tank
size. In the event of an explosion, a weak seam roof is designed to
blow off relieving the pressure. In most instances the roof will
release and fall to the ground next to the tank, so for such tanks the
normal exclusion distance of two tank diameters is used as the
hazard footprint.
2.4 Level of Significance of Risk
Although some accidents which may be possible at a facility could result in
significant adverse impact to vulnerable resources (i.e., members of the
public), the probability of such an accident is sufficiently low that the risk
exposure is not significant. A clear example of this is that although airliner
crashes result in significant adverse impacts to the passengers, the
probability of a crash is sufficiently low such that the risk is acceptable, or
insignificant.
2.5 Classifications of Frequency of Occurrence
The classifications of frequency of occurrence which have been used in
numerous system safety studies in California in recent years (State Lands
Commission .1986, County of San Luis Obispo 1985, County of Santa
Barbara 1984) are shown below.

3.0 ANALYSIS
3.1 Design Basis Accidents
This type of event has almost never
occurred, but it conceivably could.
Such events have occurred on a
worldwide basis but only a few times.
Accident occurs, but it is not likely
here within the life of the project.
Likely to occur during the project
lifetime.
Can be expected to occur more than
once a year on average.
Accidents at the Hermosa Beach Project site which have the potential to
expose members of the public to risk fall into three overall categories:
1) Well blowout, with a gas release or a resultant fire
2) Crude oil spill with generation of a flammable vapor cloud or a
resultant fire
3) Explosion of crude oil storage tank
In the first case, the public could be exposed to either a flammable gas
cloud or to a fire (radiant heat). In the second, the potential exposure
would be to radiant heat or to the risk of fire should the vapor cloud be
ignited. In the case of an explosion, risk exposure would-be to both blast
overpressure and flying debris. An oil spill, whether or not contained,
without an associated fire, by itself poses no risk to public safety other than
from a flammable vapor cloud.

3.2 Accidents Probability (Frequency) of Occurrence
These three generic accident types could result from a number of different
causative events, including a seismic event, encountering unexpected
high-pressure gas during drilling, maintenance accident, failure of
component or components due to defect, corrosion, improper maintenance,
outside influence, and operational or procedural error. These causative
events are related to the resulting accident in Table 3-2.
The following paragraphs describe the analysis of the potential accident
types coupled with their potential causative events.

a. Seismically -induced damage to well casing, causing blowout
Groundmotion due to the occurrence of an earthquake could
potentially damage the drilling and production facilities to the extent
that a blowout could result. Due to the short seismic time exposure
of the drilling phase of the proposed project (3 to 24 months) such an
6

event is considered to be rare during drilling operations. Should an
earthquake occur, however, it is estimated that proper adherence to
the State Lands Commission (SLC) and Division of Oil and Gas
(DOG) regulations regarding drilling, blowout prevention, and
completion, and also the activation of on-site safety systems would
mitigate the probability of a seismically -induced blowout during
drilling to the category of rare.
It is likely that some level of groundmotion could occur during the
lifetime of the proposed production phase. However, the amount of
damage done to oil wells and related facilities has been very
minimal in recent earthquakes (Chambers Consultants and
Planners, 1980). The 1973 Point Mugu earthquake had a
magnitude of 6.0 and was felt from San Diego to San Luis Obispo.
In Port Hueneme, 16 miles from the epicenter, horizontal
accelerations of 0.13 g were recorded. Following this earthquake,
the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) requested damage reports from
operators of oil and gas leases in the Santa Barbara Channel. No
damage was reported to well, pipelines, platforms, etc. A similar
survey following the San Fernando earthquake of 1971 (magnitude
6.4) reported no damage to wells even within 10 miles of the
epicenter. Substantial damage is not expected to occur to proposed
project production wells due to groundmotion. The proposed project
would comply with applicable DOG regulations and would activate
blowout prevention equipment and on-site safety systems to
minimize environmental effects. Based on these considerations, the
frequency of a blowout due to groundmotion is estimated as rare.
b. Encounter during drilling with unexpected high-pressure gas,
causing loss of well control and blowout:
It is possible that encountering an unexpected pocket of high-
pressure gas could cause Toss of drill mud control, with a resulting oil
and gas blowout.
There are basically three types of drilling for oil: wildcat, infill, and
stepout. In wildcat drilling, as the term semantically implies, nothing
at all is known about what may be encountered, and thus the
possibility of oil or gas is unknown. For infill drilling, which is defined
as further development within the perimeter of an existing well
defined field, substantial information is available regarding the
formation being drilled. Stepout drilling denotes drilling to extend
production from an existing formation. In this case, reasonable
projections may be made as to what the driller might encounter,
based on knowledge of the field being extended. In some sense,
7
stepout drilling may be considered exploratory drilling.
,
The proposed Hermosa Beach project drilling is considered a
combination of stepout and exploratory even though considerable
knowledge is available for the area being drilled. Based on the
experience of drilling wells in the adjacent area, the probability of
encountering an unexpected high-pressure pocket of gas is very low.
Encountering high-pressure gas does not, by itself, cause a blowout.
For a blowout to occur, the well casing must be defective, damaged,
or improperly set, or the blowout preventer must fail. Therefore, a
blowout in this project would require the simultaneous occurrence of
two events of low individual probability.
Wilmington Oil Field, which is nearby, has had over 100,000 drilling
days without any blowouts of any significance. And with more
sophisticated blowout equipment and procedures, deeper surface
casing and better training, it is unrealistic to expect a well blowout
during the drilling operations at the Hermosa site. The frequency of
occurrence is therefore evaluated as highly unlikely.
c. Procedural or operational error during drilling resulting in blowout,
with gas release or fire.
During drilling, and error in well control could result in a blowout with
resultant release of natural gas, or fire if the gas is ignited.
As with accident "b" above, this event requires both an encounter
with high-pressure gas and a concurrent procedural or operational
error. Therefore, as with "b" above, probability of such an accident is
evaluated as highly unlikely.
d. Rupture of storage tank, with resulting spill and fire.
During the life of the proposed project, a severe seismic event or
sudden failure due to other causes such as corrosion or defect,
could lead to a rupture of the oil storage tank, or failure of the
associated piping or valves with resulting spill and fire within the
containment area.
In SLC (1986), estimates based on numerous sources evaluate the
frequency of occurrence of a rupture of an oil storage tank or tank
pipe fitting, followed by fire, as unlikely.
8
C
e. Operational or procedural error resulting in spill and fire.
During the operational life of the project, an operational or
procedural error could result in an oil spill and fire 'within the
containment area. Such an accident could, for example, be an
overfill of the storage tank, inadvertent opening of a valve such as
associated with the heater treater, or other error.
In SLC (1986), the analysis of such an event, based on numerous
sources, places the frequency of occurrence as likely. In such cases,
the oil spilled would be contained within the bermed area, and
would probably not extend throughout the entire area.
f. Maintenance operation results in explosion of oil storage tank.
Maintenance work involving cutting, welding, or other hot work, or
involving electrical work could lead to an explosion in the oil storage
tank.
Worldwide, the leading cause of tank explosions is lightning, which
is extremely rare in coastal Southern California areas. Therefore,
the frequency of occurrence of such a tank explosion is estimated as
rare.
3.3 Consequence Analysis
Each accident, with its potential for a fire, explosion, or flammable gas
cloud, will have some consequence. This analysis is concerned only with
the adverse consequences for any members of the general public.
The examination for each accident type is directed to development of the
appropriate hazard footprint (the description and definitions of various
possible hazard footprints are given in section 2.3 of this report) overlap of
a hazard footprint with areas occupied by members of the general public,
after appropriate analysis of the degree of their exposure, constitutes risk.
The following subsections present the consequence analysis and hazard
footprint for each accident type:
3.3.1 Radiant Heat
Radiant heat would result from a fire in the storage tank, from spilled
burning oil within the containment berm, or from spilled burning oil
which escapes the containment berm. These three possible fires
9
749
represent increasingly larger burning areas, respectively.
These areas, over which a burning oil surface may exist, are based
on the physical measurements of the tank and bermed area, or on
an estimate of the maximum area over which a 1000 bbl spillmay
spread.
In this project, all but the thermal or radiant heat hazard may be
discounted since heavy crude storage is the only use proposed for
the storage vessels. The secondary containment area is
approximately 90' x 103' or 9270 square feet. Figure 3.3.1 presents
a curve depicting the hazard footprint radius versus containment
area. Therefore, the radiant heat hazard footprints are as follows:
Calm wind: 280 ft.
20-25 mph wind: 360 ft.
The "hazard footprint" or theoretical arc of influence will be reduced
for this project because of the following:
a) The analysis model does not include any topographical
features and assumes complete failure of all fire protection /
prevention equipment.
b) The drill site and storage tanks will be located behind a 12 foot
high concrete block wall.
c) The storage tanks will be lowered an additional 6 feet below the
adjacent street level.

3.3.2 Blast Overpressure _
Blast overpressure is the overpressure wave produced by an
explosion. The level of overpressure produced by air explosion is
proportional to the energy released in the explosion. The
overpressure wave travels outward in a spherical pattern
(hemispherical for an explosion at ground level).
The energy available in an explosion of the oil storage tank, even if
filled with hydrocarbon vapor at the upper flammability limit, is
relatively small. The overpressure wave will travel a maximum of
about 82 feet from the tank before decreasing to a level below which
injury to persons would not be likely.
Within this distance, the only area of vulnerable resources is a small
area of industrial buildings.
3.3.3 -Flying Debris
The oil surge tank will be equipped with a weak seam roof. The
purpose of this design is to allow the roof to fail long before
maximum explosive pressure is reached in the tank. This causes the
roof to lift off when an internal explosion takes place, protecting the
side walls. The explosive energy is then exhausted harmlessly into
the air. The fact that the tank roof usually flops over next to the tank
has led many organizations to establish a two -tank diameter
exclusion distance around weak seam cone roof tanks.
An article by R. B. Jacobs titled The Violent Nature of Detonations"
(Jacobs, 1959) states that "The record for such tanks (weak seam
roof) is good in the sense that in all cases, with one possible
exception, of internal explosion, they have failed at a tow pressure
by lifting their roofs, and as a consequence, side wall and external
damage have been relatively minor." In this one case, a. fragment
was known to have traveled 670 feet striking another tank.
The World Bank (1985) considers that the probability of a weak
seam cone roof tank exploding is so low that they do not require the
calculation of hazard footprints associated with an explosion (blast
overpressure and flying debris). Blast overpressure and flying
debris hazard footprints are required for pressure vessels.
U.S. Department of Housing .and Urban Development, Office of
Policy Development and Research (HUD, 1975), has developed a
methodology for siting housing projects. This methodology also
12
- (fZ
utilizes the concept of hazard footprints, but only requires blast
overpressure and flying debris hazard footprints for pressure vessels
and not for weak seam cone roof tanks.
Therefore, the hazard footprint for flying debris is taken as two tank
diameters, or 76 feet.
4.0 CONCLUSION
4.1 Significant Unavoidable Adverse Impacts
The proposed project will increase the potential and severity of an
accident occurring on-site. The hazard footprint radius will extend
into adjacent residential and industrial land use. The safety
measures included and required for the project will reduce the level
of risk, although the risk will not be completely mitigated.
4.2 Significant Effect
For the proposed project, spills and fires are the primary concern.
The likelihood of a spill large enough to migrate off-site is
considered rare. The likelihood of a large fire is also considered
rare. The chances of a small fire occurring on the project site is
listed as unlikely. Rare events are those events with a 1:10,000 to
1:1 million chance of occurring during any given year. rare events
have occurred on a world-wide basis, but only a few times. An
unlikely event has between a 1:100 and 1:10,000 chance of
occurring during any given year. Unlikely events occur, but are not
likely within the project lifespan. The more devastating an event is,
the less likely is its occurrence. Simply put, small accidents occur
fairly regularly and cause minimal damage. Catastrophic events
hardly ever occur and cause devastating damage.
4.3 Mitigation Measures
The most effective means of reducing the risk of upset and the
concomitant threat to health and public safety is the incorporation of
state-of-the-art design details, including fire prevention / protection
equipment, blow-out prevention equipment (BOPE), dikes and
containment areas for tanks. The proposed project will include fire
suppression, secondary containment berms for on-site storage, and
BOPE Class III systems.
The Hermosa Beach drill site and processing tank farm will be
located behind a 12 foot high reinforced concrete block wall. This
13
C
wall will be engineered to meet the Uniform Building Code
requirements for a 4 hour rated fire wall and will be designed to
withstand the blast from an expected explosion. In addition, the oil
storage and shipping tanks are located an additional 6 feet below
the adjacent street level for a total of 18 feet of wall height. This wall
provides substantial shielding for the general public from radiant
heat, blast overpressure and flying debris, as well as containment of
a flammable gas cloud.

MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING
by and between
CITY OF HERMOSA BEACH
and
CALIFORNIA STATE LANDS COMMISSION
This Memorandum o Understanding ("Memorandum") is entered
into this // day of , 1993, by and between the CITY OF
HERMOSA BEACH, a California municipal corporation (hereinafter the
"City") and the CALIFORNIA STATE LANDS COMMISSION, a commission of
the State of California (hereinafter the "Commission").
This Memorandum is executed by the parties in reliance upon
the following facts:
A. Since September 21, 1985, the City has had on file before
the Commission an application for approval of an oil and gas lease
for the exploration and production of hydrocarbon products from the
tidelands area owned by the City and held in trust (the
"tidelands").
B. In response to comments and direction from the Commission
in December 1985, the City has subsequently reviewed and certified
an environmental impact report for and approved and executed that
certain Oil and Gas Lease No. 2 (hereinafter the "Lease") with
Windward Associates and GLG Energy, L.P. (hereinafter together the
"Operator") to, undertake the exploration and production of
hydrocarbon products in both the tidelands and the uplands area
within the jurisdiction of the City.
C. In response to further comments from the Commission
regarding the Lease, City and Commission desire to enter into this
Memorandum to set forth the understanding of each respective party
for the City's implementation of and performance under the Lease.
NOW, THEREFORE, the parties hereto agree as follows:
1. The Commission has determined that there is drainage from
the City tidelands and that the City has substantially complied
with the bidding provisions as required under the California Public
'Nee
444.14
Resources Code._ Therefore, in accordance with Section 7061 of the
Public Resources Code, the Commission hereby determines that it
would be impractical to require the City to conduct further bidding
procedures and hereby exempts the City in issuance of the Lease
from further compliance with Sections 7058.5 and 7059 of said Code.
2. City shall make available, in a timely manner, to the
Commission all plans, specifications, reports, studies and other
related documents, as required by City for subsequent permits to be
issued by City for oil and gas exploration and production, prior to
issuance of any such permit by City in order to provide Commission
a fair opportunity for comment and advice. Such information shall
include, but is not limited to, a hazard footprint and proposed
conditions under a conditional use permit.
3. The Commission acknowledges and approves that royalty
revenue from the tidelands due and payable under the Lease to the
City, shall be allocated seven percent (7%) to the City General
Fund for use of the drill site and eleven and two thirds percent
(11 2/3%) to the Special Tidelands Trust Account.
4. City shall establish a Special Tidelands Trust Fund for --
deposit of all royalty revenues resulting from the production of
oil and gas from the tidelands for allowable use in accordance with
Chapter 479, Statutes 1919, or as it may be amended.
5. The parties acknowledge and agree that the Minimum
Royalty, as provided in Section 2.b.(1) of the Lease, is to secure
Operator's timely performance of exploration and production of oil
and gas in both the tidelands and the uplands. The Lease, in
Section 2.b.(2), further limits Operator's source of funds for
payment of the Minimum Royalty from restricted royalty to a maximum
of $281,250 in each year. To the extent that the City receives
payment of Minimum Royalty which is a direct result of production
from the tidelands, City shall deposit all such revenue into its
Special Tidelands Trust Fund.
6. The Commission shall have access to the records related
to Operator's performance under the Lease through the City. In
accordance with the terms of Section 14 of the Lease, the City has
14252.03
2.
the right to release information received from the Operator to "any
governmental agency needing the data or information to regulate the
leased lands or adjacent lands." The. City has a vested interest in
insuring the accuracy of these reports and will assiduously review
and monitor the reports and records. The City shall fully
cooperate in making relevant information available to Commission to
allow the Commission to carry out its mandated oversight duties.:
- 7. The City's intent under Section 13.d.(4) is to prorate
the repayment of the Advance from all sources of royalty revenue as
received. City hereby agrees that the repayment of the Advance, as
provided in Section 13.d.(4), shall be prorated on the basis of a
70/30 allocation from City's receipts of royalty revenue from the
tidelands and uplands, respectively, to the extent that such
royalty revenues from each source are available. This provision
shall not be construed to alter or change the repayment obligation
of the City to Operator to apply 50% of all royalty revenue due to
City to the Advance as provided therein.
8. The City shall request that Operator name the Commission
as an additional insured on insurance coverage provided by Operator
under the Lease provided such additional coverage does not increase --
Operator's insurance premiums thereby.
9. The City shall fund its contribution to the Emergency
Trust Fund under Section 18.d.(3) based upon a 70/30 allocation of
royalty revenues received from the tidelands and uplands,
respectively. To the extent that funds are released from the
Emergency Trust Fund in accordance with the terms of the Lease,
,City shall deposit into the Special Tidelands Trust Fund such
released funds as are attributable to royalty revenue from the
tidelands plus a prorata portion of interest accrued thereto.
10. The Commission and the City agree that the mean high tide
line, as surveyed and described on that certain "Plat of the State
Tidelands Boundary Along the Shore of the Pacific Ocean Within the
City of Hermosa Beach, Los Angeles County, California, dated
December 13, 1957 and signed by F. J. Hortig and prepared under
W.O. 2771, shall serve as the base line for the allocation of
production between the 'tidelands trust and all other lands. The
City further acknowledges that the mean high tide line is not a
fixed boundary and that the City shall survey the mean high tide
line from time to time in order to accurately allocate production
between the tidelands and all other lands.
14252.03

Redlining Around Oil Derricks
May 13, 1993
As requested I contacted several banks located in and around Huntington
Beach to inquire if they "Redline " around oil projects. I did not get a
definitive answer except that they consider that type of loan application
on a case by case basis and may require further technical studies (soil,
EIR supplementals) to be made prior to the issuance of a loan. The only
time that they specifically "Redline" is when a project is adjacent to a
hazardous waste site.

ANGUS PETROLEUM YEARLY REVIEW - USE PERMIT NO. 88-25
The project site consists of two (2) blocks located on
opposite corners as follows:
Block A (Tract 12747) - bounded by Springfield Avenue,
Delaware Street, Rochester Avenue and California
Street; and
Block B (Tract 12746) - bounded by Toronto Avenue,
California Street, Springfield Avenue and Huntington
Street.
1.0 SUG. ESTER ACTION:
Motion to:
"Accept the annual review of Use Permit No. 88-25 and direct staff
to schedule a public hearing to amend Condition No. 53 to require
further annual reviews."
2.0 GENERAL INFORMATION:
Use Permit No. 88-25 was a request to develop an oil consolidation
drill site on Block A and an associated oil facility on Block B.
The last Angus review presented before the Planning Commission was
on November 20, 1990. During this review, it was suggested that a
short explanation and a tentative completion date follow all pending
conditions. It was also suggested that staff provide the Commission
with a map depicting all wells that have been abandoned by Angus
Petroleum. Staff has updated conditions per the Commission's
request and a current map has been provided which shows all wells
that have been abandoned.

SPRINGFIELD PROPERTY TRUST
SUMMARY
This is a summary of the key provisions of the Springfield Property Trust. It has
been prepared to help persons owning property within the trust area to understand
the benefits provided by the Trust and how those benefits work.
BACKGROUND -
During the time the Springfield Oil Recovery project was under consideration,
members of the Huntington Beach City Council generally agreed with information
provided by local realtors and other real estate experts that completion of the
proposed project would generally enhance property values in the neighborhood.
Several members of the Council continued to be concerned that if owners directly
across from the drilisite had to sell their property during the drilling phase they
might not be able to get a full and fair price. Primarily to address that concern, and
secondarily to provide a sharing in the benefits of the project, the concept of the
Springfield Property Trust was developed.
The Huntington Beach City Council placed the formation of this Trust as Condition
No. 56 of the Use Permit for the Springfield project. The Trust has now been formed
by ANGUS Petroleum Corporation in accordance with the Condition. The primary
beneficiaries of the Trust are the current owners of the thirty two "protected
properties" within 100 feet of the project drillsite. Other beneficiaries include the
City of Huntington Beach and certain future owners of protected property.
LOSS BENEFIT
The loss benefit is a cash payment to owners who incur a "loss" In selling their
protected property during the drilling phase of the Springfield project. The loss
amount is based on the difference between the actual selling price of their property
versus an estimate of what that price would have been without any nearby drilling
operations.
The estimate is initially set by professional appraisal of each protected property.
This "initial value" is determined before drilling starts so that it represents a price
unaffected by drilling. Periodically thereafter, it is adjusted by an Orange County
real estate index so that it also reflects current market conditions.
A selling price less than the price estimate, with few exceptions, will trigger a loss
benefit under the Trust. This not only covers property that declines in price, it also
covers property that does not go up in price as fast as the rest of the market. This is
an important feature that provides meaningful price protections, even in a rising real
estate market.
DISTRIBUTION BENEFIT
When the drilling phase of the Springfield project comes to an end, the loss benefit
stops and the distribution benefit starts. The distribution benefit is a cash payment
to certain owners of "beneficial property" — protected property on which no loss
benefit was previously paid.
In the aggregate, the distribution amount to the owners is determined as one third of
the then -remaining assets of the Trust. This aggregate amount is then split up
evenly among the beneficial properties and paid to their owners of record as of the
last day of the drilling phase.
Based on remaining assets of Si. million, 32 properties would share in $1/3 million —
over $10,000 each. Of course, if there are any loss payments, remaining assets would
obviously be less than $1 million. Not obvious, however, is that less remaining assets
does not necessarily reduce the $10,000 distribution amount. For example, if two
properties were sold at a loss of $20,000 each, remaining assets would be reduced to
$960,000. In this case, the other 30 properties would then share in $320,000 - a
distribution amount still more than $10,000. In fact, so long as each loss on average
is less than $30,000, the distribution amount should be at least $10,000.
OTHER BENEFITS
When distribution benefits are paid to owners of beneficial property, a similar
distribution will be made to the City of Huntington Beach. The distribution will be
earmarked for park development near the project site, and should provide
recreational benefits to a larger number of area residents.
This amount is also based on one third of the remaining assets of the Trust. Although
the minimum amount is less certain than that to owners of beneficial property, all
indications support an amount of at least $250,000. This should be more than
adequate to make substantial park improvements.
ADMINLSTRATIO N
Trust Services of America, Inc., a subsidiary of CalFed, Inc. has been retained as the
Trustee of the Springfield Property Trust. As Trustee, TSA will be responsible for
holding Trust assets and making disbursements from the Trust for losses,
distributions and other expenses of the Trust. As Trustor, ANGUS will retain certain
responsibilities in directing the administration of the Trust.
LIMITATIONS
The loss benefit of the Trust is applicable only during the period when drilling is
underway. The distribution benefit of the Trust is applicable only when drilling has
been completed. Trust payments for losses, distributions, and all other expenses will
not exceed $1 million in total. This summary is subject to all other terms and
conditions contained in the Springfield Property Trust document.

SPRINGFIELD PROPERTY TRUST
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Q. What is the Springfield Property Trust?
A. The Trust is an entity established by ANGUS Petroleum Corporation with $1,000,000 in
cash and property for the protection and benefit of persons owning certain property in
the vicinity of the Springfield project.
Q. How do I know if I'm covered by the Trust?
A. The owners of each of the 32 "protected properties" (listed in Exhibit A of the Trust
document) are eligible to participate in the benefits of the Trust. If your property is
listed, you can participate.
Q. What are the benefits?
A. There are two: a loss benefit and a distribution benefit. However, only one of these
benefits will apply to any particular property, depending on the circumstances.
Q. What is the loss benefit and when does it apply?
A. The loss benefit is similar to an insurance policy covering the price of a protected
property. If a qualifying property is sold at a price that results in a "loss", the Trust
will pay the owner for that loss.
Q. And the distribution benefit?
A. This is similar to a dividend. It is paid to the owners of record of all of the protected
properties on which no loss benefit was reviousl paid. Owners of. such "beneficial
property" will be paid a share o the net Trust assets remaining after the drilling phase
of the Springfield project is completed.
Q. So, if I sell my protected property at a loss, I can get a loss benefit, and if I don't sell, I
can get a distribution benefit.
A. That is correct.
Q.
If I sell my property, would the new owner have a right to any of the Trust benefits?
A. Absolutely, but that right would be subject to what you do as the prior owner. For
example, if you receive a loss benefit when you sell, the new owner would no longer be
eligible for a distribution benefit. Iie would be eligible for a loss benefit, adjusted for
the loss already paid to you.
Q. Could I sell my -property, but keep the distribution benefit?
A. No, the Trust expressly prohibits the separation of Trust benefits from the protected
property. The owner of beneficial property, as of the last day of drilling, whether the
first, second, or subsequent owner, is the owner that will receive the distribution
benefit.
Q. How do I participate in the loss benefit?
A. First, you need to qualify your protected property by submitting it to an appraisal
process. The Trustee will send you a "valuation notice" (as shown in Exhibit B of the
Trust document) by certified mail before drilling is to begin. To qualify your property,
you must complete that form, return It to the Trustee, and allow your property to be
appraised.
Q. And then?
A. Then, after your property has been appraised, the Trustee will send you complete
instructions on how to file a loss claim. If you sell your property while drilling is going
on, simply follow those instructions.
Q. Suppose I don't want to have my property appraised right now. Can I change my mind
and still get paid for a loss?
A. No. If you decline (or do not respond to) the valuation notice, your property will not be
appraised and will not be qualified for a loss benefit. However, your property would
still be eligible for a distribution benefit.
Q. If I do allow the appraisal, but then choose not to sell my property, would this affect
my right to a distribution benefit?
A. Not at all. Only properties on which a loss benefit is actually paid are excluded from
the distribution benefit. •
Q. In a nutshell, then, the loss benefit only applies to protected property that: (1) has
been qualified by having an appraisal done, (2) has actually been sold during drilling at a
loss and (3) has complied with the loss claim procedures. Is that right?
A. Right.
Q. And, if a loss benefit is paid on a property, that property will not be eligible for a
distribution benefit. Is this right?
A. Right again.

....*S:•...•.lh. _:t5 :b. ._^ 3 3
Q.
I think I understand the loss benefit. Now tell me what I need to do to participate in
the distribution benefit.
A. You don't need to do anything. On the last day of 'drilling, the Trust will determine
from the public record who the owner of each beneficial property is. (Remember, a
beneficial property is a protected property on which no loss benefit was previously
paid.) After that, the Trust will take the assets left over after paying all losses and
expenses of the Trust, and pay out one third to those owners. That's all there is to it.
Q. How much will each owner get?
A. It will almost certainly be more than $10,000 to each beneficial property.
Q. Wait a minute. The distribution amount is supposed to depend on how much in Trust
assets is left over after paying losses. Suppose half of the protected properties had a
loss of, say, $25,000 each. Wouldn't that wipe out Trust assets and cause a big decrease
t`. In the distribution amount?
A. Ok, consider your example. Total losses would be 16 x $25,000 or $400,000. Trust
assets would be reduced by this amount and only $600,000 in assets would remain. One
third of this amount, $200,000, would be shared by the owners of the 16 properties on
which no loss was paid. This works out to be $12,500 to each beneficial property. In
your example, the distribution amount would actually increase!
r. ^,
Q. :What about other Trust expenses? Might those reduce the distribution amount?
A. Trust expenses for appraisers, trustee fees, legal fees and miscellaneous supplies will
cause a reduction in Trust assets. But these expenses are expected to be more than
offset by the interest income on Trust assets. There should be little or no effect on the
distribution amount.
Q. I see what you mean about the amount of the distribution being almost certain. So,
when do I receive it?
A. The distribution payments are made within a year after the completion of the drilling
phase. Drilling is expected to take about two years, so the distribution ought to be
within 3 years after drilling begins.
Q.
What if ANGUS never completes drilling? What happens to the distribution then?
A. It depends. If ANGUS simply decides to drill a few less wells than originally planned,
the distribution would still take place. On the other hand, if ANGUS is prevented from
completing its drilling, the entire Trust could be terminated. If this happens, all of the
Trust assets would revert to ANGUS, and the loss benefit and distribution benefit would
cease.
- 3
Q.
That seems very unfair. Why should I be penalized just because ANGUS can't complete
drilling?
A. It would be unfair, unfair to everyone. If the Springfield project cannot be completed,
the economic benefits that would have been otherwise created are gone. Without
economic benefits there can be no Trust, and no Trust benefits. If ANGUS is permitted
to complete the project, everyone benefits. If not, everyone loses.

- CITY OF HERMOSA BEACH MEMORANDUM
March 31, 1993
Rick Ferrin, City Manager
Charles McDonald -Director of Public Works
Corporation Yard Sites
RECEIVED
APR 6 1993
PLANNING DEPT.
On March 22, Vern and I met with Jerry Berquist of Southern
California Edison and toured the site again. The following
significant points were determined.
1. We could not perform the street sweeping - debris disposal
operation on the site with Browning-Ferris as our disposal
company since Redondo Beach is Western Garbage Company's
territory (after a spirited battle with B.F.I.). Problem.
However, I do not believe that S.C.E. would be happy with our
dumpster operation being performed on their property, anyway. ----
2. We can park our vehicles on the two paved lots adjacent to
Herondo (including employee parking). Passes for employees
can be worked out.
3. We can park the crawler tractor on the rock area between the
lots.
4. We can put the metal storage houses on the property, but
hazardous material (paint) cannot be stored there. Problem.
5. We may be able to use other portions of the power line
easements for material storage, but the B.F.I. - hazardous
material problems remain.
6. S.C.E. would make their gas dispensing facilities available
at cost, which is presumed to be a savings.
With the foregoing information in mind, Vern and I revisited the
Community Center site. The southern parking lot (between the
tennis courts and the Alano Building) could be made to provide
all the functions we need - with some added grading, paving
fencing and construction of storage bins. Unfortunately the
parking cannot be eliminated due to requirements of the Costal
Commission - nor can the parking be substituted in Vons parking
lot.
We therefore investigated two other vacant lots.
Lot A, Stinnett Property, N.W. Corner of Cypress and 6th St.
This lot is 100' X 120' = 12,000 square_feet. It is walled with
block wall on the front and part of the sides. Additional .
walling on the south side and fencing on the west -would make it'
• . _�Ig.- .- •F
C F C
reasonably secure. There is still and oil pump on the property.
To fully use the property some grading would be required in the
southwest corner. The lot would need to be paved. We could
perform the dumpster operations, provide rock, etc. storage bins,
place the metal storage buildings, provide space for open supply
storage plus some vehicles. The lot would be convenient to the
maintenance shop and the old yard. It would house the dog
kennel.
Lot B, Undeveloped property on 11th Place east of and contiguous
to the Alano parking lot. This lot is 65' X 150' = 9,750. It
would require full fencing and paving. We could perform the
dumpster operation, provide rock storage bins, place some of the
metal storage bins, some open supply storage. There would
probably be some vehicle overflow to S.C.E.. The lot would house
the dog kennel. -
"Temporary Move" Recommendation:
1. Continue the use of the Butler Building as provided for in
the -agreement. Handle the parking by using the space which
is adjacent and north of the existing site (along Valley
Drive, which is paved). This space could handle 10 to 15
vehicles. Retain Supts. trailer.
2. Rent the shop at 545 Cypress for vehicle maintenance parts
storage, and sign shop.
3. Rent Lot A or Lot B to cover:
a. Dumpster operation
b`. Paving materials bins
c. Metal storage buildings
d. Space for open supplies
e. Dog Kennel
f. Some vehicles
4. Utilize, Southern California Edison's offer for overflow
vehicles and gasoline service.

CITY OF HERMOSA BEACH MEMORANDUM
DATE: - January 27, 1993
TO: Rick Ferrin, City Manager
FROM: Charles McDonald, Director of Public Works
SUBJECT: Alternate Sites for Corporation Yard
Certain basic considerations affect the course of action which we
are able to take.
1. $75,000 is all the money that is available for a temporary
relocation of the yard.
2. The maximum amount of rent available in the contract is
$2,500 per month.
3. There is an unknown cost for removal of gasoline storage
tanks and remediation of any contamination which may require
the city to spend as much as $50,000.
4. The agreement contemplates the city's continued use of the
Butler Building by the city - and this almost certainly
should be done to reduce costs.
5. The agreement only provides the sum of $500,000 to
permanently relocate the yard.
6. The city may have additional remediation work after it
permanently leaves the existing site.
7. City presently has $21,000 in its treasury to pay for an
analysis of the relocation of the city maintenance. yard.
8. Within 30 days of the execution of the lease city shall cause
an environmental assessment to be made to determine the
extent and nature of any contamination.
Following are evaluations of the sites under consideration.
1. Existing Corporation Yard Site
The site "at the corner of 6th St. and Valley Drive occupies
approximately 54,000 square feet, or 1.2 acre. It contains two
major buildings:
a. Metal Butler building used for parking major vehicles,
smaller power equipment, offices, lunch room, rest rooms and
storage of mainly electrical supplies - size 150' X 50' =
7,500 square feet.
- -
2
•
y P
b. Older masonry building complex used for park operation, sign
operation, auto repair, tractor parking. 40' X 100' = 4,000
square feet. -
Other significant operations include:
a. Dog kennel
b. Gasoline pumps,
c. Two dumpsters for refuse
d. Open storage of supplies
e. Open storage Of debris
f. Rock and gravel bins
g. Five metal storage boxes
h. Vern's office trailer
Provision would be needed for all these operations except the
gasoline pumps.
(2. Industrial Yard Space in Redondo Beach
In the vicinity of Francisca and Catalina these properties are
noted:
a. Approximately 4 acres at the corner of Herondo & Francisca
which are used for dirt storage - no buildings.
b. Three very old condemned buildings on Catalina containing
unreinforced`brick about to be sold by the FDIC.
c. Vacant lot at the corner of Gertruda and Catalina currently
occupied by a pipeline contractor,but due to be vacated in a
month. This site is adequate for open storage, rock & gravel
storage, the dumpster operation the dog kennel and the metal
storage bins and is available.
d. Two bay, high roofed,concrete floor, wood building about 70'
X 150' = 10,500 currently occupied by Peter Trigg, a
demolition contractor who wants to vacate. This is slightly
less than the Butler Building & older masonry building
combined at our existing yard.
3. Body Glove
Conversation with Russ Lesser, President of Body Glove indicates
that they have moved their manufacturing operation to another
location, but they are still using the existing facilities for
offices and warehousing. They have no intention of vacating
their existing facilities. Virtually all of their property is
under roof - about 40,000 square feet. The firm has been in
business since 1978. We do not need 40,000 square feet of
covered area, but we do need about 42,500 square feet of open
storage area. Whereas Body Glove is a very good location, it
does. not meet either short or long term needs. We could not rent
and should not buy - particularly from a disinterested seller.

4. South School Site
The South School Site is owned by the city, has adequate office
area with rest rooms, sufficient open space for storage of
supplies, debris rock and gravel bins, refuse operation, and
storage boxes, but lacks covered vehicle storage. Access is
excellent, but exposure is bad and it is politically
unacceptable.
5. 545 Cypress Auto Shop
This would be an excellent facility for the vehicle repair
function. It would be suitable for both a temporary or permanent
location. It has 4 bays, two hoists (one split), an office plus
an area currently used for a machine shop which could be
converted to a sign shop. One of the bays could be converted to
a parts room. It has a concrete parking area in front.
6. Community Center
This site is owned by the city and would provide adequate parking
for vehicles (open parking) open storage of supplies, debris, --
rock and dumpster operation, dog kennel, and office & lunch room
space if the archives were moved to the building planned for.. that
purpose on Prospect Avenue. Direction of traffic flow should be
into site from PCH, out of site on Pier. Covered equipment
parking would have to be retained in the Butler Bldg.. Vehicle
Shop and Sign Shop would be at 545 Cypress. This would leave no
parking for tennis courts and Community Center functions which
would be totally intolerable. Replacing the parking on the
Greenbelt might help, but foot traffic would have to come through
the corp. yard - very poor. This site, at best, would be a very
poor solution.
7. The Mini Storage Lot
The ownership occupies 33,000 square feet; the building. occupies
28,000 s.f.. On this basis alone the property is inadequate
(comparing to 54,000 square feet)_. Onto this would be added the
cost of remodeling and/or demolition and reconstruction. .In
addition there are properties that overlook the site to the south
and west; these owners would certainly object. Open storage
would not work well here. There is almost three times the amount
of building that we need. This site does not hold much promise.
8. Hospital District Property on PCH
This site is presently under way on a demolition contract which
is scheduled to be completed in April. This will eliminate all
the buildings. The access onto PCH is extremely bad since the
travel speeds are high and there are no signals even near to
provide gaps in traffic. The exposure is also very bad -due to
the two story buildings on three sides of the site. .This site
should be eliminated from further consideration.

9. Hermosa View School
This site has possibilities both for temporary and permanent use.
There are buildings for office use. There are toilet facilities.
Several of the buildings can be converted to vehicle storage by
installing roll -up doors. 'There is plenty of room for parking
and open storage operations. Some screening would be needed by
increasing fence heights and planting tall trees in one location.
Access is excellent. Site is larger than needed. Some of the
rear could be sold off for houses connected to Golden Avenue.
The site would have to be acquired. It is presently vacant`:
Facilities in very _good condition.
10. North School Site
The majority of the site is leased from the School District by
Seasprite Children's Center. The facility serves 130-175
children as a day care center 5 days a week from 7:00 am to 6:00
pm. The northern brick building is used by an Adult School.
There are approximately 40 adults working there. It has been
operating for 10 years & plans to continue indefinitely. It is
not available.
11. 125 Pacific Coast Highway
The site might provide the automotive shop, some vehicle storage,
sign shop, possible office, lunch room, employee parking, some
open storage. Lacking would be adequate vehicle storage, dog
kennel,. refuse operation, debris storage, rock & gravel storage.
The showroom could probably be used for vehicle storage. Access
is, at.,best, marginal - coming on and off of PCH is difficult
without signal control; First Street and First Place are narrow
residential streets. Since the property is commercial it may be
best to retain its revenue potential.
12. Southern California Edison
Evaluation of this site is pending.
13. "Temporary Move" Recommendation
1. Continue use of the Butler Bldg.
2. Rent the shop at 545 Cypress.
3. Lease the vacant yard at Gertruda & Catalina or use a portion
of the South School site for open operations.
4. Move or rebuild dog kennel.
5. Provide employee parking in Landscape area on east side of
existing yard site.
14. Permanent Move Recommendation
Hermosa School appears to have excellent potential. Three major
areas need to be further evaluated:
a. Can the site be used from a zoning viewpoint:
•
-
b. How will the acquisition be financed?
c. Is the site available?
If the foregoing are positive it would be desirable to have the
consulting Engineer evaluate the site and make a cost estimate
for modifications.
