City of Seal Beach Environmental Quality Control Board
Meeting Minutes of May 24, 2006
VI Staff Concerns
Ms. Teague indicated that a copy of the Draft Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND) for
Naval Weapons Station IR Site 70 has been provided to the Members tonight for
information purposes only. She noted that the 30-day comment period will end on June
24,2006, and the next scheduled EQCB meeting is June 28,2006. She said that Staff
has requested additional time to review the document and provide comments, but,
should this request not be granted, Staff may convene the EQCB on June 14, 2006 in
order to allow for comments.
Ms. Teague then stated that Staff expects to have a copy of the San Gabriel Master
Plan Final Environmental Impact Report (FEIR) available for distribution at the June 28th
meeting. She noted that it might be available for a June 14th meeting.
The Senior Planner then reported that Staff is monitoring the preparation of a Mitigated
Negative Declaration (MND) for the Accurate Metal property. She stated that an
application is pending for conversion of the zoning of this property to residential, and the
MND may be available for the June 28th meeting.
VII Board Concerns
Member Barton noted that a "For Rent" sign is still posted at 400 Marina Drive. She
asked if this was permissible, since the property is being sold. Ms. Teague stated that
she would inquire about this.
Member Hurley requested an update on the Bryant Property acquisition. Ms. Teague
stated that she did not know, but would follow up and provide an update at the next
EQCB meeting.
Member Hurley then requested that an update be provided on the Hellman Ranch
wetlands area. Chairperson Voce stated that a Joint Powers Agreement has been
signed to appoint a Joint Powers Authority, and all interested parties have agreed to
work together on this.
Member Hurley expressed his concern regarding the implementation of the City's
construction noise policy. He asked how the Board is to know whether this policy is
being enforced? Ms. Teague stated that this policy strengthens the ability for the Code
Enforcement Officer to follow up on complaints about construction noise. She indicated
that she would inquire of the Code Enforcement Officer and Building Officials regarding
the number of complaints received and how they were addressed. Member Hurley
noted that developers/contractors should be provided with a copy of the newly adopted
construction noise policy so that they will know what is required. He requested that this
discussion item be placed on the next EQCB agenda.
