concept behind development of the L.A. Dept. of Water and Po\~r property. Mr.
Neprud introduced Mr. Dawson and ~Jr. Ualker from Seal Beach Associates.
Mr. Ualker explained the building plan and pointed out the follo\'ling issues for
discussion.
1. There \"/ould be a 3 acre park in this development. The Main question is should
the park be secluded or open to the view of the public. As the plan is nO\1 drawn,
the park is not readily visible to the public. The general co~sensus was that
the park__should be wider near the 1 st St. _ parking lot --so - It -wi 11 -be ea~i ly__seen_. ___::- __~-=--

will be widened to 82 ft. The curb cuts will reduce the available on-street
. parking by 40~. The Con1l11ssioners felt curb cuts should not be allowed and ~he
streets should be widened to standard size inside the developrtent to allow for
parking.
Mr. King asked about the tunnels on the property. Mr. Dawson explained extensive
geological work must be done. Mr. Dawson further explained hO\'1 the property
near the river is lower than the lots bordering 1st St. Each lot in the develop-
ment is a different size to create a unique atMosphere. The lots near the water
are larger and the plan allows for one-story houses to be built. In order for the
houses borderipg 1st St. to be of proportional size and have a nice view they will
be pennitted to be t\'lO stories. ~lr. Cook felt the t\'t'O story houses bordering 1st
St. would infringe on the viel" of the residents across the street. f"r. Da\/son
explained this development \'lOu1d not exclude their neighbor's view completely.
Mr. Schmitt is in opposition to the residential development, he felt it should
be cOw.Mercia1 in nature. - -
