-
Carla Merriman
- - Hermosa Beach Chamber of Commerce Executive Director, spoke in support of the request to serve mixed drinks at the Pitcher House; said she agreed the change would attract an older, more affluent crowd; noted that there had been very few complaints over the years;
-
Barbara Elman
- - Hermosa Beach, said that she did not live near the Pitcher House but found it unacceptable that the business had not been in compliance with the CUP and objected to the City's inconsistency with parking requirements; said the Council had an opportunity to set an example by denying this request; said just because a person was new to the neighborhood did not mean that they did not have the right to complain;
-
Jeff Carson
- - Hermosa Beach, said he lived 50 yards from the Pitcher House for about a year and was a frequent customer; said parking was not a problem since most customers were at the business during low traffic hours and there was plenty of parking on Pacific Coast Highway; agreed that serving mixed drinks would attract a more affluent crowd; said his sleep was never disturbed by noise from the Pitcher House;
-
Piper Layton
- - Hermosa Beach, spoke of her recent noise complaints, noting a particular problem with Saturday nights; said she was not convinced that the liquor license change would improve the situation as noise would still be a problem regardless of whether they served beer or mixed drinks; urged the Council to consider resident-only parking on Second Street;
-
Shirley Cassell
- - Hermosa Beach, said the people who moved into the area knew what they were getting into because the Pitcher House had been there for a very long time; said the maximum capacity could not be exceeded with more patrons, but the clientele would change;
-
Ron Newman
- - Hermosa Beach, suggested that a security guard be hired on the busy nights to handle resident concerns about customers parking on Second Street; thought patrons would prefer parking on the highway because it was well lit and safer; said the noncompliance with the CUP was insignificant since it involved only air conditioning and had been corrected;
-
David Moore
- - Redondo Beach, called the Pitcher House a 50-year landmark that received few complaints; said the owner was a consistently hard working, personable man who, as manager of Toe's Tavern adjacent to residences in Redondo Beach, had an excellent relationship with the community; said hard liquor would not make the music any louder and it was not fair to blame the Pitcher House for the wrong-way drivers on Second Street; suggested that an amber flashing light at the intersection might alert drivers to the one-way street;
-
Al Benson
- - Hermosa Beach, said if the service of hard liquor would increase any impacts to the neighborhood, it should not be allowed; and
-
Jack Janken
- - Hermosa Beach, owner of townhouses on Second Street, said the change to serve mixed drinks would bring in older people who usually make less noise and, therefore, the music might not have to be played as loud.
The public hearing closed at 8:55 P.M.
Action: To approve the recommendation of the Planning Commission to adopt revised Resolution No. 02-6213, entitled "A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF HERMOSA BEACH, CALIFORNIA, SUSTAINING THE PLANNING COMMISSION'S APPROVAL OF A CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT, AS AMENDED, TO ALLOW ON-SALE OF GENERAL ALCOHOL IN CONJUNCTION WITH LIVE ENTERTAINMENT AT 142 PACIFIC COAST HIGHWAY, LEGALLY DESCRIBED AS LOT 44 AND THE NORTHERLY 50.69 FEET OF LOTS 45 AND 46, HOME BUILDERS PLACE TRACT," with the additional conditions of requiring an annual review and the hiring of a security guard on Saturday nights to assist with any Second Street issues.
