ROBERT LA MOHDE - 4808 BLACKIIORHE AVENUE - LONG BEACH
Mr. La Monde said he represented the Sierra Club in Los Angeles
and Orange Counties. He stated wetlands have important
ecological functions --- floor and erosion control and support of
fish and wildlife. Destruction and degradation have destroyed
most of our coastal wetlands. The Sierra Club policy is to
protect wetlands where they still exist and restore degraded
wetlands where possible. He said the Hellman property seems a
desirable candidate for restoration if build1ng plans can be held
off or modified. He urged the Planning Commission/City of Seal
Beach to return the Hellman wetlands to the depleted wetlands
inventory.
LORRAIRE FABER - 700 MARINA DRIVE - SEAL BEACH
Ms. Faber said she is the past President of the Amigos de Bolsa
Chica. She urges resolution of issues at the local level because
if the City gets to the Coastal Commission with items that are
non-conforming to the Coastal Act there's a legal way of handling
the process and it's additional approval of an LCP or a Land
Development Plan with cond1 tions. The City would have to come
back and start the process over to incorporate those changes.
She said she reviewed our meeting materials and had the following
recommendations for improvement:
1. Specific Plan - by State law can incorporate many things more
than the General Plan and should have a map of the open space
showing the public parks.
2. There is no language on who is respons1ble for the
restoration costs. Together with clauses talking about
1nfeasibility of the project by what standards is it
infeasible? Put something in as to who should be the judge of
feasibility.
