Clerk Burrowes replied that affidavits of publishing and mailing the
notice of this hearing were in her file. The Mayor directed that the
file become a part of this hearing, and then inquired if any written
communications had been received.
The City Clerk read three letters she had received:
Mr. William T. Eyre, 1200 East Acacia Avenue, requesting the project
be delayed at least 30 days for study of the plan change from eleven
stories to eight stories.
Mrs. Esther L. Everhart, 1210 East Acacia Avenue, requesting the
Council not to vote for the project.
Michele and Stu Aplin, 1102 East Acacia Avenue, opposed the project,
but if the Council did approve, asked that adjoining properties be re-
zoned to R -2 or R -3.
The City Clerk advised she had received two petitions in favor of
Council approval of the project. One, containing 19 signatures of
residents in the 1200 block of East Acacia Avenue and the other with
12 signatures of residents in various parts of the City.
A j4
Associate Planner Cosin reported that zoning of this property was C -2
on which hotels up to a height of 45 feet may be constructed. Advised
the first plan presented to the Planning Commission consisted of eleven
stories plus a penthouse, containing 386 rooms, that the Commission re-
duced this to eight stories with rooms not to exceed 300. Plans were
then presented for an eight -story structure with 299 rooms and a parking
facility. Stated the Commission approved this plan with certain conditions
and approved the Environmental Impact Report prepared for this project.
Further stated the Planning Commission recommended approval of the eight
story project and certification of the EIR, advising that specific draw-
ings would be required prior to issuance of a building permit.
Mr. Robert E. Woolley, president of Hometels, Inc.,presented plans and
a mockup of the hotel coinciding with the changes made by the Planning
Commission.
Mr. James Goodell, architect, described the plans, stating changes in
design had been made to reduce light, sound and sight impact to the south
of the hotel so as not to encroach on the privacy of residences. Advised
that ingress and egress would be closed off from California Street with
a gate. Responded to further questions by the Council.
The Mayor inquired if anyone present wished to speak in favor of or in
opposition of the Plan.
Mr. Bill Eyre, 1200 East Acacia Avenue, asked that the project be delayed
so that residents may absorb all the new conditions and changes proposed.
Mr. Eyre handed the City Clerk a letter requesting the Council to reject
the Precise Plan for 8- stories and adhere to the zone limitation of 45
feet in height.
Mrs. Jerry Johnson, 1213 East Acacia Avenue, stated she would not want
any additional traffic in the alley, but felt the project would be an
improvement and that property in the area would increase in value rather
than decrease.
Mrs. Nancy Jacobson, 1212 East Acacia Avenue, advised she had visited
the new "low- rise" hometel in West Covina and felt this type project
would have less impact on the neighboring residents.
Mr. Woolley responded that more acreage was available for the West Covina
hotel and the plan would not be as suitable for Imperial Avenue.
Mrs. Janet Yosgott, 1208 East Acacia Avenue, objected to the view of an
eight -story hotel from her residence.
Mr. Paul Cleveland, 1127 East Acacia Avenue, objected to the scare tac-
tics used by the developers, that it was his opinion the hotel would be
a better establishment than the deteriorated condition of the bowling
alley. Challenged the EIR being accepted when it was prepared for an
eleven story structure. Asked the Council to respond to the public re-
quests and not force the citizens groups to go to an initiative that
might stop the hotel project as well as a great many other projects
that might be beneficial to the City.
Mr. Bill Ehrhart, 1406 East Walnut Avenue, asked the Council to consider
having a new EIR prepared for the revised project. Also spoke of threat-
ening literature received from the developers and asked that the project
be delayed. Further requested that consideration be given to requiring
the developer to adhere to the 45 foot height limit.
Mr. Frank Wong, 435 Valley Street, registered his protest against build-
ing a hotel in E1 Segundo, that they bring in people of questionable char-
acter which would have a negative effect on the residents in the area.
Mrs. Ellen Friedkin, 1025 East Acacia Avenue, spoke in favor of the hotel,
stating it would be a nice change.

K .54 99
Mr. Virgil Johnson, 1.218 East Acacia Avenue, read a letter written to
the Council rebutting some of the issues raised by opponents of the
project. Stated he thought it would be a good project and urged the
Council to approve it.
Mrs. Katherine Manson, 341 Concord Street, stated that she came here in
1910 and if the old timers felt like the people are talking here tonight,
many of them would not have been able to come into E1 Segundo to enjoy
the life they want to protect. Stated she thought this was progress and
asked the people and the Council to give the project consideration.
Mr. Carl Jacobson, 1212 East Acacia Avenue, pointed out the negative effects
the hotel would have on adjoining neighbors - visual limits, increased noise,
increased traffic, and interference with television receiption. Asked that
some compensating provisions be made for the immediate neighbors.
Mr. Woolley stated the Hotel would have a cable television system and
it may be possible to furnish this to the immediate neighbors whose
television might be affected.
Mr. Jacobson asked that this be included as one of the conditions of
the Precise Plan.
Mr. Paul Green, 1215 East Acacia Avenue, advised he lived right behind
the bowling alley and he favored construction of the hotel.
Mr. Dave Jones, 438 Maryland Street, speaking as an E1 Segundo resident,
stated he favored the eight story structure with landscaped grounds over
a five -story plan covering a major portion of the property.
Mr. Gary Wallace, 516 Oregon Street, stated that many of the beautiful
things in the City are as the result of the people fighting for them;
that to put a moratorium on building is a way to lower property values.
Advised he favored the project.
Mr. Roger Siegel, 937 Lomita Street, stated he thought the plan provided
well guarded access to the R -1 properties, the hotel would act as a buffer
of the airport noise and that the town needs the hotel.
Mr. Jim Helvey, 1502 East Walnut Avenue, spoke against the project, that
it encroached upon residential property and the people should try to main-
tain what they have.
Mr. William Eyre, 1200 East Acacia Avenue, read a letter he had prepared
for the Council, challenging that the EIR had been prepared for an eleven
story hotel; that it was inadequate as to traffic impact, water and sewage
pollution, etc. Therefore urged the Council to reject the EIR. The letter
was handed the City Clerk for filing.
The Council discussed continuing the hearing, after which a motion was
made by Mayor Van Vranken, seconded by Councilman Bue, that the hearing
not be continued. Motion carried. Thereafter, the Mayor inquired if
anyone else wished- to speak, hearing no response, motion was made by
Councilman Armstrong, seconded by Councilman Bue, that this public hearing
be closed.' Motion carried.
The Council discussed the adequacy of the Environmental Impact Report
for the eight -story project.
Mr. Greg Broughton, Planning Consultants Research, advised the final EIR
would consist of the draft the Council has before them, written comments
received regarding the EIR and minutes of both Planning Commission and
Council meetings.

Councilman Armstrong registered concern of permitting construction over
the 45 foot limit allowed in C -2 zones; that if the Council disagrees
with the code limit, it should be changed and that he could not vote
for the project because it does not meet the code.
After further discussion, the Mayor declared a short recess, the hour

tions had been completed between the developer and the dry cleaning

Mr. William Ross, attorney for Anastasi Construction Company, reported
on the negotiations and that the request for extension was being made
on behalf of Mr. Brenner, owner of the cleaning business.
Mr. Jack W. Brenner, 952 Main Street, related the hardship of relocating;
that a suitable site had not been located in El Segundo and the additional
time would be needed to close out and open a new establishment.
After discussion, motion was made by Councilman Siadek, seconded by

No. 2 -80 be denied. Motion carried by the following vote:
Ayes: Councilmen Armstrong, Bue, Johnson,

7. ORAL COMMUNICATIONS
a. Mr. Ed Erdely, 209 West Acacia Avenue, stated that Anastasi's project
is just one block from his residence and only one -half block away is
another project by the same developer that has the foundation and walls
partially constructed and has been in that condition for over three months.
Stated it is an eyesore and unresponsible developers of this kind should
not be given extensions.
b. Mr. Dennis Martin, 836 East Grand Avenue, petitioned the City Council
to open the issue of reduced taxes and rescind Resolution No. 3096 which
would return tax money to the property owners leaving very little for
individual residential owners or renters in the City. Stated he did not
believe this met the spirit of the Gann Initiative.
C. Mr. Ron Hart 608 Hillcrest Street, asked if there was a Council
policy prohibiting distribution of literature in the Council Chamber.
The Mayor responded that passing of literature during a Council meeting
interrupts the proceedings.
d. Mr. Gerhardt Van Drie, 724 West Pine Avenue, referred to the $3,000,000
excess on hand, stating that if this was given back directly to the resi-
dents of the City, it would mean a sizable refund. Asked about the City's
proposed plan of giving the money back by way of reduced water bills and
questioned if this distribution was in the intent of the Gann Initiative;
that this would mainly benefit the large water users. Asked the Council
to try to give the money back to the people.
The Mayor advised that the matter of returning money by way of water bills
was intended to be on this meeting's agenda but some information was not
yet availalble. Stated it would be brought up either on September 15th
meeting or on the October 6th meeting.
e. Mr. Dennis Martin, stated that if Arthur Jones were here tonight, he
would say you cannot just hand the money back to the residents under the
Gann limitations.
-6- Council Minutes
Sept. 1, 1981
A 5498
The Mayor interrupted to advise that this topic would not be discussed
at this time.
Mr. Martin continued, saying he was going to file a suit for conflict
of interest against two Council members for each day that this is delayed
and the Council does not make some decision about giving the people a
chance to vote on how to use their three million dollars. Also staved
that Standard Oil Company used 70% of the water in E1 Segundo, so 70%
of the money would go back to Standard Oil.
The Mayor disagreed.
Mr. Martin stated that as politicians, the Council is not even giving
the money back to people who could vote for them.
Councilman Johnson asked that this discussion be deferred until the time
the item is on the agenda.
Mr. Martin pleaded with the Council to reconsider; stated the City has a
rare chance to pioneer the concept of using high technology to bring
telecommunications with unlimited possibilities to every home and business
in the city. Stated the only way he knows to nullify the decision of the
Council adopting the resolution returning the tax money is to carry on
his conflict of interest action against two councilmen whose companies
would benefit greatly from the tax payback.
