SPECIAL ORDER OF BUSINESS: a. Hearing on proposed Precise Plan No. 3 -81 for development of a Hometel at 1440 and 1500 East Imperial Avenue by Hometels Development Corporation Councilman Siadek announced that due to possible conflict of interest, he would not participate in the discussion or action of this matter and left the Council Chamber at this time, the hour being 7:08 o'clock P.M. The Mayor announced that this was the time and place heretofore fixed for subject hearing and inquired if proper notice had been given. City 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. -2- Council Minutes September 1, 1981 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. Motion was made by Councilman Bue, seconded by Councilman Johnson, that the Environmental Impact Report prepared for Precise Plan 3 -81 be certified. -3- Council Minutes Sept. 1, 1981 )5495 The foregoing motion carried by the following vote: Ayes: Councilmen Bue, Johnson and Mayor Van Vranken Noes: Councilmen None Absent: Councilman Siadek Abstaining: Councilman Armstrong The Mayor read changes the Council had discussed: Close off the ingress and egress to California Street (to restrict traffic into the residential streets) Provide provisions to obligate the developer to reduce any glare problems that may be apparent from the windows. Developer to offer solutions to neighborhood regarding any inter- ference of television viewing. 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 being 10:00 o'clock p.m. to give the City Attorney time to draft the changes requested for insertion in the resolution approving the project. At the hour of 10:10 o'clock p.m., the Council reconvened, the following members being present and answering roll call: Councilmen Armstrong, Bue, Johnson and Mayor Van Vranken.

Motion carried by the following vote: Ayes: Councilmen Armstrong, Bue, Johnson, and Siadek Noes: Mayor Van Vranken Absent: Councilmen None 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. 8.
