A succession of opponents/proponents addressed the Council, as shown below.

Opponents to the project addressed individual concerns about potential view, light and air impacts caused by the proposed str~cture, which most speakers felt to be too massive for the area and out of character with the neighborhood. Most speakers stated their opinion that the project does not fit within the parameters of the Hillside Ordinance.

Opponents included:

Mr. Dominic J. Scrooc, 106 Via Pasqual, who provided a slide presentation of photographs from his residence. Mr. Kevin Chen, 206 Via Anita. Ms. Eunice Schmaeling, 123 Via Anita. Ms. Janet Westergaard, 111 Via Pasqual, who submitted photographs of the proposed addition from her residence. Mr. Donald A. Young, Jr., 114 Via Pasqual, President of Riviera Homeowners Association, who submitted a document listing the square footage of area homes. A resident of 642 Via los Miradores [name inaudible, no speaker card submitted]. Ms. Marcella Doran, 126 Via Pasqual. Ms. Dorothy Scrooc, 106 Via Pasqual.

Proponents of the project discussed their philosophical opinions with respect to the rights of young growing families to have expanded living quarters and the neighborhood enhancements such improvements represent. Some proponents addressed the applicants' willingness to address concerns through their many redesigns and spoke of a need for a spirit of compromise on the part of opponents to the project. Other· · proponents addressed the aesthetically pleasing design of the project.

Proponents included:

Mr. James McGarry, 520 Paseo de las Estrellas. Ms. Annie Paine, 516 Paseo de las Estrellas. Ms. Pamela Kelterborn, 113 Vista del Sol. Mr. Dennis McGoldrick, 104 Via Sego [formerly of 336 Via Pasqual]. Ms. Genevieve Carlisle, 328 Paseo de Gracia, who read a letter of support from an area resident.


11

Mr. James Forgie, 26339 Regent Avenue, Lomita.

Mr. Gibson responded to various inquiries raised during the successi~n of speakers.

Architect Doug Leach, 119 Torrance Boulevard, Redondo Beach, discussed details of the design, agreeing with the findings of staff report and its recommendation for approval. He responded to various inquiries posed by Council.

Following Mr. Leach, Mr. Scrooc returned to provide further input and he was followed by Ms. Carlisle, who submitted numerous photographs for the record.

It was moved by Councilman Messerlian that the hearing be closed. Councilman Lee seconded the motion and roll call vote proved unanimously favorable.

During consideration, while addressing the edicts of the Hillside Ordinance, Council concern about potential view impairment to certain residences was apparent. The architect was complimented by Councilman Lee for his handling of air, light and privacy impacts.

Discussion included matters related to "original view vs. acquired view" and design constraints at this location. The possibility of a subterranean arrangement was raised and addressed in response to an inquiry by Miss O'Donnell.

The applicants' willingness to work with the City, as evidenced by the redesigns associated with this project was noted, as was the concern that solving one problem could create another.

Discussion focused on continuing the matter, following a suggestion from Councilman Walker. All Council members indicated a hope that the applicants and their neighbors would work together toward a reasonable compromise -in redesigning the project. Along these lines, it was noted that it would be impossible to add any addition at this location without impacting views to some degree.

The following related action took place at this time:

It was moved by Councilman Lee that the hearing be reopened. Councilman Messerlian seconded the motion and roll call vote proved unanimously favorable.

12


Councilman Walker suggested that the applicants be asked as to their willingness to continue this matter to a date uncertain to allow for a design which would be more satisfactory to the neighbors.

Applicant Doug Rovens came to the podium with his architect, Doug Leach. Mr. Rovens requested that Council give some direction as to an acceptable design, noting the related expense to which he has gone thus far.

Mr. Rovens was basically informed that it would be inappropriate for Council to offer input as to the design of the project to which Mr. Rovens responded that he was desirous of basics only; i.e., mass, height, etc. It was suggested that the redesign be made in accordance with comments made at this hearing. Architect Leach explained that a subterranean design would be out of the question in that the existing foundation is to be used.

Councilwoman O'Donnell reemphasized the need for more compromise on the part of opponents, in particular the Scroocs, at 106 Via Pasqual.

Following comments of frustration voiced by the applicant, Councilman Nakano offered that he would be looking for a design reduced in size, to mitigate the concerns expressed tonight.

Mayor Hardison requested that staff work with the applicants and the opponents, in particular the Scroocs, to arrive at a mutually acceptable solution to the problem.

MOTION: Councilman Lee moved to continue the matter to a date uncertain to allow the applicants to design the project in a more mutually compatible manner. Councilman Messerlian seconded the motion, which carried with unanimous approval following roll call vote.
