donated by Cox Construct~q~.in~o the haunted house. She
noted that a number of City staff, community volunteers, and

RIGHT-OF-WAY
Mayor Grgas declared the hearing open to consider the
placement of a nursery greenhouse within the Southern
California Edison Right-of-Way in the vicinity of Edison
Park and College Park West. The City Clerk certified that
the notice of hearing had been advertised and mailed to
adjacent property owners, and reported no communications
were received either for or against this item. The
Development Services Director reported the request is to
construct a thirty by eighteen hundred foot greenhouse I
within the Southern California Edison right-Of-way adjacent
to the COllege Park West area. He explained that subsequent
to issuance,. of the building permit a stop work order was
issued on December 5th as it determined that the Code
requires Council approval of businesses located within the
Public Land Use Zone, and reported several resident
complaints had been received prior to the stop order
contending that the structure was too close to the wall
westerly of' Harvard Lane and that it would obstruct view of
Edison Park and the San Gabriel River biketrail. Mr.
Whittenberg stated the staff conducted an on-site inspection
and found a portion of the foundation was poured and some
framing was done prior to the stop notice, also that the
height of the, structure at the present time is one and one-
half feet higher than allowed, which would need to be
corrected. He advised that if the present location is
determined to not be acceptable, it may be possible to
locate the greenhouse closer to the San Gabriel River levee,
westerly of the electrical facilities, if acceptable to
Southern California Edison. He added that if the present
location is approved, staff would recommend that trees be
placed to the east of the structure to provide screening for
the adjacent residences. In response to Council, the
Director estimated the distance from the proposed structure
to the College Park West fence between one hundred to one I
hundred twenty-five feet, and explained the Code requires
only a Council action on this matter. He added that
relocating the structure would not necessarily change the
view to any substantial degree, where at the present time
the residents are accustomed to seeing the open, flat area
where the greenhouse is. proposed to be located, the nursery
stock and bike trail; however if relocated the view of the
nursery stock would continue and given the twelve foot
height of the greenhouse the view of the levee, varying
between ten to fifteen feet, would continue in most cases.
The Director reported the access road is presently adjacent
1-22-90
to the levee and should the greenhouse location be changed
it is presumed there would be no objection to some
relocation of the road.
I
Mayor Grgas invited members of the audience wishing to speak
to this item to come to the microphone and state their name
and address for the record. Mr. Doug Alani, 550 North
Golden Circle, Santa Ana, representing SY Nursery, urged
that the Council approve the structure for completion at its
present location, noted th~ $8,000 costs incurred to date,
and stated their willingness to provide and maintain a row
of trees for screening and during the period of November
through March the polyethylene covering would be removed
from the greenhouse to allow an unobstructed view. Mr.
Alani said SY is an immaculately cared for nursery and the
greenhouse is an attractive futuristic design. Mr. Tom
Huigins, 211 Harvard Lane, submitted a petition of fifty-
eight residents of the west side of Harvard Lane'opposed to
the construction of the greenhouse, and photographs taken
from Harvard Lane rear yards showing the existing view and
the view that would allegedly be lost when the proposed
structure is covered. A video of the view from Mr. Huigins
rear yard was also shown the Council. Mr. Huigins expressed
his belief that the value of his property will decrease
without the present panoramic view, and that the size and
location of the greenhouse will encourage unwanted access to
the rear yards of adjacent properties. Mr. Huigins objected
to the absence of notice' to the residents of the greenhouse
proposal, to the issuance of the permit prior to an. on-site
inspection, expressed his concern regarding the,potential
for increased' crime, and eventual' appearance of the poly
cover resulting' from" dust and general impact of the
environment,'creating an unpleasant site similar to a like
structure located' south of 7th' Street in Long Beach. He
added that the proposed structure will impact forty
residential properties, and concluded that the impact may
not be' realized if the structure is relocated. Ms.
Stephanie Sneider, 241 Harvard Lane, objected to the visual
impact of the'structure from her residence if built, yet
expressed greater concern' with the potential for intrusion
by persons'onto the residential properties if'the greenhouse
is constructed as proposed. She spoke favorably of
relocating the structure to the westerly side of the Edison
property. Mr. Alani indicated the desire of SY Nursery to
cooperate" with the community, and requested Council
consideration of the' greenhouse relocation to the westerly
side of' the, Edison electrical facilities, with the consent
of Edison, where it would blend with the levee and not
obstruct the, view of the bikepath, etc. The applicant
advised that a height of no less than twelve feet is
necessary for proper temperature control and growing
conditions. Mr. Mike Martin, Edison Company Area Manager,
stated that relocation of the. greenhouse has:been considered
and an on-site inspection' of' the subject property made, and
it is believed such' relocation, will be workable, however
plans will be subject to final approval. As a point of
clarification he advised that the property is licensed,
rather than leased, which is more restrictive as to what a
tenant may do. Ms. Cora Curl, 233 Harvard Lane, said she
felt the addition of a greenhouse would give the impression
of a light industrial area, and that it would effect
property values. Mr. Jack Friedman, 289 Harvard Lane,
stated that'since the' nursery use there has been more
vehicle traffic on the Edison property,' and expressed his
concern'with chemical' sprays and unauthorized persons near
the adjacent. properties.' He objected to the proposed
greenhouse as well as the poly covering. Mr. Roland
Mueller, 201 Harvard Lane, spoke for the view as it
I
I
1-22-90
~:'
presently exists, said the residents had once been assured
that no structure would be built on the Edison land, and
that the wildlife and view were a consideration in
purchasing their property. He opposed the greenhouse impact
on the view, questioned the fire danger of the structure if
relocated closer to the electrical facilities, and the
potential for noise impact from wind given the type of
construction. He objected to the visual impact in general I
and to the proposed location. He too mentioned the
potential effect on property values. Mr. Alani again stated
their willingness to cooperate, reiterated that the nursery
is maintained in the highest caliber, as will the
greenhouse, and their agreement to provide tree screening,
also noted that if the structure is relocated to the west of
the site it will be reduced in size by approximately four
hundred feet. There being no further comments, Mayor Grgas
declared the hearing closed.
RESOLUTION NUMBER 3907 - NURSERY GREENHOUSE - SOUTHERN
CALIFORNIA EDISON RIGHT-OF-WAY - COLLEGE PARK WEST
Resolution Number 3907 was presented to Council entitled "A
RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SEAL BEACH,
CALIFORNIA, APPROVING THE PLACEMENT OF A NURSERY GREENHOUSE
WITHIN THE SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA EDISON RIGHT-OF-WAY (11
COLLEGE PARK DRIVE, SEAL BEACH)." By unanimous consent,
full reading of Resolution Number 3907 was waived.
Councilmember Wilson reported a number of College Park West
residents have indicated they would be agreeable to moving
the greenhouse to the west, and that she would support that
action. Councilman Hunt commended the applicants for their
willingness to cooperate to resolve this issue given the
investment they have made at the present location to date,
and by moving the structure and abiding by the maximum'
twelve foot height the view of the levee, bike trail, and
flowers will be retained. The Development Services Director
confirmed. that it is expected that the length of the
building will be somewhat shorter than the original plans
for eighteen hundred feet if the structure is moved to the
west however a definite length is not known at this time.
Mr. Alani asked that eighteen hundred feet be approved
pending a final determination. Councilmember Risner asked
that this item be held over until the final dimensions are
known.
I
Councilmember Wilson moved to approve Resolution Number 3907
prOViding for a maximum length of 1800 square feet, twelve
feet in height, and that the greenhouse be located on the
westerly side of the site. Mr. Alani requested
clarification that the polyethylene covering would not be
required'to be removed during certain months of the year if
the relocation is approved, suggesting that Condition 3 be
deleted. The applicant reported that the poly covering has
a life of approximately two years and consists of three
sections, and even in the new location two sides would be
removed during summer months for temperature purposes. He
noted that the cover would be cleaned each year, however
replacing the entire cover annually would be a considerable
expense. Councilmember Wilson suggested that the condition
be amended to allow the option of the poly covering.
Discussion continued. Councilman Hunt seconded the motion.
I
As a result of the discussion, the Assistant City Attorney
recommended Resolution Number 3907 be revised as follows: 1)
the word "or" be deleted from the fourth recitalf 2) the
words nSubject to the approval of Southern California
Edison" be. deleted from the first condition and amended to
read "The proposed greenhouse shall be relocated to the
western side of the right-Of-way, adjacent to the levee for
1-22-90
I
San Gabriel River" and a sentence added to read " The
ultimate location of the greenhouse is subject to the review
and approval of the Director of Development Services"f
Condition 3 amended to read "The greenhouse may be covered
with translucent polyethylene film. Such covering shall be
maintained in a condition to the satisfaction of the
Director of Development Services"f and 4) the words nand
shall not exceed 1800 feet in length" added to Condition 4.
In response to Council, the Assistant City Attorney
explained that at the time the Resolution was drafted there
was uncertainty as to the position of the Southern
California Edison with regard to the relocation, therefore
reference to Edison was deleted to assure that the Council
and staff would be allowed the final location decision.

RELATING TO FISHING FROM THE PUBLIC BEACH AND THE MUNICIPAL

Number 1298 was waived. The City Manager reported the
proposed Ordinance is the result of concern for the safety
of persons using the beach and ocean waters and conflicts
1-22-90
with fishermen, and it is understood this is a recurring
activity that poses potential hazards. He explained the
Ordinance would provide the Supervising Lifeguard authority
to prohibit, restrict or otherwise regulate fishing in the
interest of public health, safety and welfare on the beach
or the pier.
Hunt moved, second by Wilson, to approve the introduction of
Ordinance Number 1298 and that it be passed to second
reading. In response to questions of the Council, the City
Manager explained that overhead casting is the only means of
casting from the beach, that overhead casting is presently
prohibited from the pier for health and safety reasons, and
that the proposed Ordinance regulates rather than prohibits
beach fishing. The Assistant City Attorney clarified that
fishing regulations for the pier, as they presently exist,
are set forth in Section 4-20 with the exception of the last
sentence which provides regulating authority to the
Lifeguards.

~B~1~~_~~~P.M~N~_~.C9UN~lL COMPENSATION
Councilman Laszlo made reference to action taken at the
January 8th meeting to draft language for a Charter
Amendment relating to Council compensation, "and stated he
would withdraw his previous motion in support of language to
be proposed by Mrs. Risner. Councilmember Risner proposed
Charter Amendment language to read "Compensation for members
of the City Council shall be established by ordinance in
accordance with provisions of Section 36516 and 36516.5 of
the State of California. Government Code as such provision
now exists or may thereafter be amended. Each member of the
City Council shall receive reimbursement for Council
authorized expenses in accordance with provisions of Section
1-22-90
36514.5 and 37201 through 37205 of the State of California
Government Code." Councilmember Risner read her statement
to the Council which, in part, explained that this language,
which governs Council compensation in general law cities,
would allow the Council to set the member's salary at any
figure up to but not exceeding $300 per month, and increase
that amount by an amount not to exceed five percent per
year, effective only every two years when a new Council is
seated, and further, provide for the reimbursement of I
Council authorized expenses, the budget being the
controlling factor of what travel and attendance at meetings
would be authorized for reimbursement. The Assistant City
Attorney clarified that the Charter Amendment would be
submitted to the voters for consideration and if approved,
the Council could then establish the compensation not to
exceed $300, to be adjusted only every two years.
Laszlo moved, second by Wilson, to withdraw the motion
approved at the January 8th meeting, and adopt the
substitute language proposed by Councilmember Risner.
Discussion followed.

CITY COUNCIL ITEMS
Councilmember Wilson noted that the Comcast program schedule
continues to show City Council meetings on the first and
third Monday of each month, and asked that it be changed to
reflect the second and fourth Monday. Councilmember Wilson
announced that on this date the Orange County Transportation
Commission moved the sound wall project to be constructed
adjacent to Leisure World into the top fifteen project~ of
the Orange County priority list, this action largely due to
the repayable financial commitment of the City and Leisure
World towards the project. She noted that two project
reports, an environmental report, and the engineering design
must be completed by July before construction of the sound
wall can commence. Councilman Hunt commended Mrs. Wilson
and all others that diiigently worked for this project.
Councilmember Risner reported a complaint from a Hill
resident regarding a parapet built on an adjacent residence
to allow stairway access to a deck, the parapet seven feet
above the twenty-five foot height limit, or thirty-two feet. I
She said the residents had not been notified of the parapet
or the height thereof, and requested that future notices be
more specifiC. Councilmember Risner also made reference to
residences on the Hill, as well as ih College Park East and
West, that are considered legal non-conforming due to the
garage size, and inquired what could be done to make them
conforming. The Development Services Director responded
that he would ~esearch the question as he was not familiar
with the specific garage sizes and that there may be a
number of resolutions of the problem. He offered that
1-22-90
I
future notices would be more specific as to height where a
parapet is being.considered, however noted that a parapet is
allowed by Code.at the height in this particular case, and
if a property is determined to be conforming there is no
noticing requirement. Mr. Whittenberg explained that if a
decision is made that there be notices for all parapets,
that would require.a Code amendment, and could possibly
provide for a minor plan review. He noted that if a
property meets all requirements of the Building and Zoning
Codes, the City does not have a rational means of
prohibiting such construction, the Code p~esently allowing a
parapet, not to exceed seventy square feet, enclosed, on the
roof of the structure. Mr. Whittenberg offered that some
type of architectural review could be looked into.
Councilman Laszlo complimented the Public Works Department
for their efforts to rid the area of Candleberry and Heather
of weeds, and asked tha~, the cleanup of. the Arco site at
Seal Beach Boulevard and Lampson Avenue be expedited. The
Development Services Director explained that to date
remediation plans for the Arco site have not been submitted
to the satisfaction of the Health Department by Arco and
Bixby, that the staff.is attempting to move the project
forward, and that he understood the Health Department would
need approximately two to three weeks to review and approve
the plans once submitted.
I
ORAL COMMUNICATIONS
Mayor Grgas declared Oral Communications open. Mr. Jerry
Anderson, .1301 Sandpiper Drive, spoke at length 1n
opposition to a parapet constructed on a home adjacent to
his residence, alleging it to be five feet from his property
and having no architectural features, and blocking all
sunlight to his rear yard. Mr. Anderson said there should
be no exceptions to the height limit,.and if allowed, the
parapet should be placed to the middle of the dwelling
rather than directly. adjacent to another property. He asked
for some relief and a change of.the Code. Mr. Bruce Stark,
Seal Beach resident, charged that there are a number of
houses that exceed the height limit, that Measure "An would
have provided an enforceable height limit, and that Hill
residences are legal non-conforming because .the garages are
too short. He agreed with Mr. Hunt's previous comments
regarding ethics and for Council accepting nothing having a
value of more than $3, .suggested.travel and meetings by City
staff is are area wherce money could be saved, and read a
quote by Harry S. Truman, a copy of which he gave to each
member of the Council. Councilman Hunt took exception to
Mr. Stark's compliment of his position on ethics, charging
that the Measure "A" proponent collected and spent more for
political purpo~es than the total Council expenses over the
past three years. Councilman Hunt objected to the benefits
of Measure "A" as claimed by Mr. Stark. Discussion
continued. There being no further comments from the
audience, Mayor Grgas declared Oral Communications closed.

Councilman Laszlo stated he would be unable to attend the

item at that meeting, also indicated the difficulty in
coordinating a work session to the satisfaction of all
