CLOSED SESSION REPORT FOR MEETING OF APRIL 13, 2004: NO REPORTABLE ACTIONS.

PUBLIC PARTICIPATION:

1. ORAL AND WRITTEN COMMUNICATIONS

   1. Letter from Joe Mark regarding proposal to redevelop the Marineland Mobilehome Park. Supplemental letter received April 27, 2004 from Hermosa Beach City School District Superintendent Sharon McClain.

      Coming forward to address the Council on this item were:

      Joe Mark

      - Hermosa Beach, said he was the principal developer of the multi-use project called Pierside Landing described in his letter; said that he hoped the Council would agendize a discussion of this project, which would alleviate citizen concerns about the lack of parking, space for schools, retail businesses and revenue for the City, along with too much traffic and impacts from bars; explained that the project would consist of 138 condos on 4.2 acres, currently Marineland Mobilehome Park, with a 544-space semi-subterranean parking structure; said the development would revitalize upper Pier Avenue and provide 45% of the City's senior and affordable housing requirements;

      Pat Love

      - Hermosa Beach, representing Marineland Mobilehome Park residents and the Golden State Manufactured Home Owners League, said the sale of the property, currently in escrow, to a non-profit organization was in the best interests of the City and the residents, noting that the park had been in existence for over 100 years and should remain a mobilehome park; said residents volunteer time to the City; many have raised their children there, some are third generation, and others are elderly or disabled and on fixed incomes, but they all just want to be left alone in their homes to enjoy the lifestyle they have worked hard to maintain; urged the Council to help protect Marineland Mobilehome Park from developers;

      Joanne Edgerton

      - Hermosa Beach, said she could not believe that this mobile home park was being threatened again; said it should not be looked at for a solution to the City's problems and that developers should leave park residents alone;

      Janice Yates

      - Hermosa Beach, Marineland resident, said a representative of Millennium Housing Group, the buyer of the park, had been coming to their meetings and talking to them for two years and that even though rents would be increasing, she was happy that the park would be preserved; said she did not understand Mr. Mark's logic that losing the park would be good for the City; said there should be a celebration that the park had been in the City for 100 years;

      Sharon Estes

      - Hermosa Beach, said she was born here and Marineland Mobilehome Park had been her home and then her children's home; said she did not understand why a project was being proposed when the property was in escrow; expressed confidence that the Council would help protect the site for the residents;

      Shirley Cassell

      - Hermosa Beach, said Mr. Marks stated that 45% of the Marineland residents could have homes in the new project, but asked about the other 55%; said she thought he wanted to make a profit at the expense of these residents;

      Geoff Hirsch

      - Hermosa Beach, Marineland resident, said community support for the park was amazing; said in recent years he has attended four Council meetings trying to protect the park; opposed a joint venture between the developer and the City, saying the City had no business being in the real estate business; said the park is finally getting an owner who will assist the residents interested in buying their own land;

      Mark Lee

      - Hermosa Beach, Marineland resident, said his family has lived there more than 20 years and he planned to live there into the future with his new wife and expected baby, noting that he was working with the City to build a larger, two-story mobile home; said that Marineland Mobilehome Park was becoming a beautiful place;

      Mike Lacey

      - Hermosa Comedy & Magic Club owner, said after listening to the Marineland residents, he understood how important it is for them to own their own land and control their destiny; speculated that eventually an element of the park might be a senior health facility; thought it would be a good idea to provide underground parking for park residents and businesses on Pier Avenue under the mobile homes and perhaps an elder care center, with the possibility of a parking district which would allow Hermosa Beach residents to rent parking for weekend afternoon social events;

      Ron Riggs

      - Hermosa Beach, said he was a real estate broker/developer who had recently purchased a mobile home at Marineland to fix up and sell for profit; spoke of how nice the residents were and said he was a little embarrassed to be trying to make a profit since everything in life is not about money; said he was impressed with the new owner in escrow who would be offering the right of first refusal to residents with an opportunity to own the land for a secure home;

      Kelly Richard

      - Hermosa Beach, said even though the park is considered low income housing, it is not that inexpensive to live there; said she had moved from a 2,500 square foot home in Altadena to a mobile home at Marineland because she wanted the happy, peaceful lifestyle of Hermosa and better schools for her children; said she was committed to making a home at Marineland but now was worried about losing it;

      Lynn Logan

      - Hermosa Beach, said she was a single parent of four who has lived at Marineland for 12 years and would not have been able to live anywhere else in the city; spoke of the difficulty of park residents to always live in fear of losing their homes; said it was in the City's best interest to protect Marineland instead of bulldozing it for a new development; noted that an advisory group had been formed to look into a way for residents to purchase the park themselves;

      Mike Saign

      - Hermosa Beach, said he sympathized with the Marineland residents but felt the Council should at least consider the proposed plan, which he thought might benefit the City in the long run;

      Andre Sharp

      - Hermosa Beach, said he was neutral on the issue but felt the City should consider the proposal even if it is later turned down;

      Lance Widman

      - Hermosa Beach, said the proposal deserved a fair and impartial hearing; agreed with Mr. Lacey's suggestions; and

      Terri Hampton

      - Hermosa Beach, Marineland resident, said development proposals should be presented when a property goes up for sale, not during escrow; said she has enjoyed living in the park and hoped this low-income housing would be allowed to remain without the threat of someone always wanting to make a profit from it.

      Action: To receive and file Mr. Mark's letter.
      Motion Edgerton, second Tucker. The motion carried by a unanimous vote.

   Ira Lifland

   - Hermosa Beach, spoke of a dispute he has had with the Police Department due to his false arrest and imprisonment in August 2003 for carrying a pocket knife, which police considered a lethal weapon; said he filed a complaint in December but has heard nothing to date, and spoke with Chief Lavin, who said he would research the situation and refund money spent because of the illegal search and seizure of his car, but there had been no resolution; asked that his record be expunged because he worked as a private investigator and was licensed to carry weapons (City Manager Burrell said he thought the matter had been taken care of and would investigate);

   Skip Blomer

   - Hermosa Beach, said he wished to speak on the consent item pertaining to the multi-use project at 30-44 Hermosa Avenue and requested that the item be removed from the consent calendar for further discussion;

   - Hermosa Beach, described a recent situation at her home in which the onsite manager and police allowed her tree and other plants to be removed without her consent and despite her vocal protest; said the City had told her that no landscaping had to be removed, but only moved back (City Manager Burrell said staff would respond); and

   Jack Janken

   - Hermosa Beach, read from handouts he presented to the Council regarding complaint forms being unavailable at City Hall and disagreed with the way his Board of Appeals hearing was handled (City Manager Burrell said forms were located at all City Hall counters).

      - Hermosa Beach, commended the City for the good engineering report and because the final cost was lower than first anticipated;

      Scott Mowrey

      Mark Bliss

      - Manhattan Beach, said undergrounding was a good idea and urged the Council to allow property owners in this district to vote; and
