one who served the City of E1 Segundo on the Council for 22 years and as
Mayor of this City for 15 of those years. Extended appreciation for his
dedication and fine service to the community and best wishes on his birth-
day.
The Mayor read a proclamation declaring May 1 - 7, 1981 as RESPECT FOR

6. SPECIAL ORDER OF BUSINESS
a. Urban West Communities applications for development of Imperial Street
School Site PRD 1 -80
The Mayor announced that this project had been approved contingent upon
the Planning Commission's review of the changes made in the Plan, reduc-
ing the number of condominium units to 92 and developing a parkette on
the property.
City Manager Jones read a memorandum from Associate Planner Cosin, advising
that the Planning Commission concurred with the Council's conceptual
changes in Planned Residential Development 1 -80 to eliminate six units,
have the developer create a parkette and dedicate it to the City for 99
years.
Hearing no objections, the Mayor ordered the memorandum dated April 15,
1981, received and filed.
Councilman Siadek questioned dedication procedures, that at some future
date, the people might not want the park. -
City Attorney Allen advised that dedication is not usually for a term
of years, and should the City wish to abandon the parkette property, it
probably would revert back to the lessee and not the School District.
Advised the Council that vacating park property is not as simple as
vacating a street, and may require a vote of the people.
Councilman Johnson asked what kind of park was planned, that more
definite information should be furnished than what is in the resolution.
City Manager Jones stated that the staff would be working with the
developer and the Recreation and Parks Commission in developing the
plans; that the resolution requires the developer to follow the plans;
and that the Council has control of what type park it wants by its vote.
Motion was made by Councilman Siadek, seconded by Councilman Bue, that

Public hearing on amendment to zoning Section 20.24.070 of Municipal
Code regarding Lot Area Per Dwelling Unit
The Mayor announced that this was the time and place heretofore fixed
for subject hearing and inquired of the City Clerk if proper notice of
the hearing had been given. City Clerk Burrowes replied that an affida-
vit of publishing the notice was in her file. The Mayor directed that
said file become a part of this hearing and then inquired if any written
communications had been received, to which the City Clerk replied that
none had been received in her office.
Associate Planner Cosin reported the proposed amendment required the
lot area per dwelling unit shall be not less than 1,000 square feet
and a fraction of a lot greater than 500 square feet would allow an
additional unit, in the Multiple Residential Zone (R -3). Advised that
this provision had been inadvertently omitted when condominium regula-
tions were revised requiring 1500 square feet per unit.
After discussion, the Mayor inquired if anyone present wished to speak
regarding this amendment.
Ms. Catherine Smith, 1026 Manhattan Beach Boulevard, Manhattan Beach,
president of CATCO, recommended that a certain amount of flexibility be
allowed, that she did not agree with the fixed policy for condominiums.
Mr. Adam Falvai, 320 East Imperial Avenue, stated this was too harsh,
that the developer should have an option, that it is too restrictive.
Mr. Loyal Christensen, Chairman, Planning Commission, stated this
ordinance is merely to put back into the Code the requirements that
were inadvertently omitted, that there is not really any change.
Mr. Ross Kongable, 909 McCarthy Court,stated this change would have a
negative effect on the City, that the people are not in favor of higher
density. Stated he was in favor of the ordinance, but not in favor of
the intent.
There being no further response, motion was made and carried that the
public hearing be closed.
Councilman Armstrong stated he felt the requirements should be closer
to the 1,000 square feet per unit to cut density and possibly allow
more open space.
After further discussion, motion was made by Councilman Siadek, seconded
by Councilman Bue, that the Negative Declaration prepared for this amend-
ment be certified. Motion carried with Councilman Armstrong voting no.
City Attorney Allen presented an ordinance amending the Municipal Code
entitled:
AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF EL SEGUNDO, CALIF-
ORNIA, AMENDING TITLE 20 (THE COMPREHENSIVE
ZONING ORDINANCE) OF THE EL SEGUNDO MUNICIPAL
CODE BY AMENDING SECTION 20.24.070 RELATING TO
LOT AREA PER DWELLING
which title was read.
Upon motion duly made and carried, further reading of the ordinance
was waived. Thereafter, said ordinance was introduced by Councilman
Bue.
C. Public hearing on amendment to zoning Section 20.24.220 of Municipal
Code relating to condominium precise plan requirements
The Mayor announced that this was the time and place heretofore fixed

been given. City Clerk Burrowes advised that affidavit of publishing
the notice was in her file. The Mayor directed the file become a part
of this hearing and inquired if any written communications had been
received, to which the City Clerk replied that none had been received
in her office.

d. Public hearing on Precise Plan No. 1 -81 for six -story office building
and parking structure between Apollo and Nash Streets, north of Rose -
crans Avenue - Continental Development Corporation
The Mayor announced that this was the time and place heretofore fixed
for subject hearing and inquired if proper notice of the hearing had
been given. The City Clerk advised that affidavits of mailing and
publishing the notice were on file. The Mayor directed the file to
become a part of this hearing and inquired if any written communications
had been received, to which the City Clerk replied that she had received
none.
Planning Associate Cosin gave a brief description of the project, and
referred to drawings and rendering displayed for Council viewing.
Advised that the master plan for this area had begun over ten years ago.
Stated there had been changes in the fire protection requirements which
had been worked out between the Fire Department and the Developer.
Stated the specific requirements agreed upon had been set down in Fire
Marshall's letter dated April 21, 1981.
Council discussed traffic problems and the impact on surrounding cities
as well as on E1 Segundo. Councilman Armstrong stated he thought a
moratorium needed to be declared, that something must be done about the
increased traffic.
Mr. Patrick Lange, Traffic Engineer, Linscott, Law & Greenspan, responded
to Council's inquiries, that the traffic study figures were current on-
street volumes in the City, and the intersection traffic figures had
been derived from traffic generated from the use and actual manual counts
taken at the site. Advised that excess parking spaces allow for overlap-
ping of work hours, and do not in themselves generate more traffic.
Mr. George Phillips, Vice President Continental Development Corporation,
introduced members of his staff and consulting representatives in atten-
dance. Advised that this was the final phase of the Continental Park,
that this was the theme building.
Mr. Ross Kongable, 909 McCarthy Court, stated he was speaking for a
growing group in town who are concerned about density, that the impact
is evident and suggested a moratorium be placed on projects in the City.

Mr. Charles Fenton, President of E1 Segundo Chamber of Commerce, stated
he thought this was a worthwhile project, spoke of traffic capacity as
being the real issue and the business community realizes the impacts,
that business and government must work together on these problems.
Mr. Mark Marion, 921 McCarthy Court, asked about the effect the building
going on now will have five or ten years from now. Stated that the
Council, Planning Commission and concerned citizens must get together
to recognize there is a great traffic problem; that unlimited building
is detrimental and that at some time it has to stop.
The Mayor inquired if anyone else wished to speak regarding this matter.
Hearing no response, motion was made by Councilman Bue, seconded by
Councilman Siadek, that the hearing be closed. Motion carried.
Councilman Armstrong suggested that staff, Council, Planning Commission
and concerned citizens get together to work out a workable plan.
Councilman Johnson asked if an actual count of industry population could
be made.
City Attorney Allen advised that if the change is made in the resolution
regarding fire protection requirements furnished in the Fire Marshall's
memorandum dated April 21, 1981, it would be appropriate to refer the

X ;3 �,)1
Advised that t:iu developer had not been able to purchase all the property
for this project and, therefore asked for a one -year extension for com-
mencement. Stated this was one of the largest and most dense condominium
projects, and that if the construction could not commence on time (May 21)
and continue on, the City would be better off with a different development
constructed under the new condominium requirements.
Mr. Steve Kaplan, 1314 Sepulveda Blvd., Manhattan Beach, representing
the developer, stated that one piece of property is occupied under a two -
year lease and negotiations had not been successful with the leaseholder.
Asked that the one -year extension be granted.
Councilman Bue asked if an honest effort had been made to procure the
lease from the lessee.
Mr. Kaplan stated he could not answer that question.
Mr. Loyal Christensen, Chairman Planning Commission, explained the
problems encountered with the procurement of easements, the processing
of a zone change, etc., and possibly the Commission felt an obligation
to allow an extension of six months.
The Council discussed the different circumstances surrounding this pro-
ject in regard to timing, displacing residents and the expected long
time to completion.
Mr. Kaplan stated his client was as interested as the Council in getting
this project underway and if additional information is needed, suggested
the matter be deferred to the next Council meeting, at which time he
would bring in his client and furnish more substantiating facts for an
extension.
Motion was made by Councilman Siadek, seconded by Councilman Johnson,
that the request for extension of Precise Plan No. 2 -80 be deferred

m. Appointment of "Law and Order" judges to State Supreme Court
Councilman Siadek stated he thought he had asked that a resolution be
sent to the Governor recommending the subject appointments.
City Manager Jones advised that from the standpoint of legislative
strategy, the consensus of the League of California Cities and various
cities in the State, was that a personal letter is given more weight
by legislators and the Governor than a resolution which has been passed
and circulated among the various cities.
11. WRITTEN COMMUNICATIONS
a. Request from County Supervisor Deane Dana to adopt a resolution
protesting the Governor's proposed budget as it impacts local
government
Motion was made by Councilman Siadek, Seconded by Councilman Bue, that

City Manager Jones advised that the highway system revenue had been
falling behind and is expected to be 2 to 4 billion dollars short in
the next five years for repair and maintenance of the highways. Stated
this presents a grave danger, to let streets deteriorate to the detri-
ment of the people. Reported that gasoline tax had not been changed
since 1963, but the road system had greatly expanded in that time. Re-
ported that the bill would make available a share of the diesel fuel
taxes and would change the distribution formula on other taxed money
i.e. a greater proportion of the 1/2(,, sales tax, which now goes largely
to the State, would come back to the cities and counties.
Motion was made by Councilman Johnson, seconded by Mayor Van Vranken,
that SB215 be supported. Motion failed by the following vote:
Ayes: Councilmen Johnson and Mayor Van Vranken
Noes: Councilmen Armstrong, Bue and Siadek

and County Engineers' Association. he had talked to representatives of

regarding the critical situation facing the cities in financing the
maintenance of their streets and highways.

9) Report regarding alternative traffic and circulation studies
Advised that staff had considered how to approach traffic studies in
the community and presented a plan for a 5 -phase study, each phase
separate and able to stand on its own. Stated that staff would like to
look at the Land Use Plan and how it relates to traffic. Estimated
this would be a 15 to 16 week study at a cost of possibly $15,000 to
$20,000. Requested that direction be given as to what type study is
desired and recommended that the study be handled by an outside con-
sultant. Further advised that a Request For Proposal could be prepared
for approval by the Council.
Councilman Siadek referred to Development Research Association study
conducted in 1970, suggesting that perhaps this is the time to consider
a more sophisticated approach and to look at the implications of develop-
ment in the community.
Mayor Van Vranken stated that this may involve two efforts, that the
1970 study had been on a much broader focus than just traffic and
transportation problems.
After further discussion, City Manager Jones advised that staff would
require clear objectives as to the Council's desires; that if physical
improvements, such as signal modifications, intersection changes, etc.,
were being considered, that would require a different Request For
Proposal than establishing traffic capacity for the community and using
that as an indicator for limiting development; that establishing objec-
tives was necessary at the beginning of the study. Suggested that
staff prepare a draft Request for Proposal for discussion, and in the
meantime, Council could consider what the true objectives should be.
After discussion, Council concurred.
Councilman Johnson asked for the count of the working population in
E1 Segundo and was referred to the E1 Segundo Chamber of Commerce to
work together establishing an up -to -date figure.
10) Emergency Sewerline Repairs
Advised that there is a broken sewer main trunk line out of the City
west of Acacia Street within the Department of Water and Power right -
of -way. Stated repairs had been estimated at not more than $12,000.
Asked that the Council authorize the cost of the repairs be allocated
from the Contingency Account.
Motion was made by Councilman Siadek, seconded by Councilman Bue, that
the broken sewer main west of Acacia Street constitutes a public health
hazard necessitating immediate repairs and that an amount not to exceed
$12,000 be allocated from the Contingency Account for said repairs.
Motion carried by the following vote:
Ayes: Councilmen Armstrong, Bue, Johnson,
Siadek and Mayor Van Vranken
Noes: Councilmen None
Absent: Councilmen None
