The Department of Recreation and Parks is searching for fi-
nal approval for a new location for trash bins at Palisades Recreation Center—one that, they hope, will cause the least disturbance and be the most beneficial for neighbor-ing homeowners, tennis players and park visitors.
As of today, the six trash bins are located in the maintenance yard area of the park, where they are emptied two times per week as early as 5:15 a.m., one audience member explained. In addition to the rec center, the bins are used for trash from Temescal Park and the Bluffs.
Several neighbors from The Huntington attended the Oct. 17 Pacific Palisades Park Advisory Board Meeting to express con-cerns about young children being woken up by the slamming of bin lids when they are emptied, as well as rats that are attracted to the bins that then make their way to the surrounding homes, damaging homeowners’ property.
After a lengthy discussion and listening to the concerns of the neighbors, the Park Adviso-ry Board unanimously approved (with one abstaining vote) mov-ing the bins to an open area next to a shipping container used by the baseball teams near the tennis courts—a location proposed by the Department of Recreation and Parks that would convert approx-imately 1,400 square feet of what is now asphalt into green space.
The board asked member Gustaf Soderbergh to design an enclosure for the bins that they hope will make them secure, odor-free and out of sight from nearby residents and tennis players.
“There’s an almost 100 per-cent chance tennis players will complain,” Palisades Tennis Cen-ter’s Mike Tomas said at the meet-ing.
Several spots were consid-ered but this spot was the closest thing to a “win-win for every-body,” Park Director Erich Haas explained.
Residents of Frontera Drive are not so sure.
“Where the bins are going to be moved, I’m as close as you can be,” resident Mark Victor ex-plained to the Palisadian-Post.
Possible issues at the pro-posed location Victor cited were the bins blocking a busy thorough-fare from Frontera to the park, as well as animals and people riffling through the bin after park hours when the lights are shut off with young children walking by.
Though the new location would be near homes, it would be 54 feet away, as opposed to 24 feet away where they are located now, according to Vice Chair of the Park Advisory Board Robert “Bob” Harter.
After continuing community concern, the moving of the bins returned to the Park Advisory Board’s agenda for a special meet-ing on Tuesday, Oct. 30, with a chance for additional public com-ment and an explanation letter to be read by Harter.
“At the Park Board’s January [16] meeting, the community will have an opportunity to comment on whether the idea of moving the bins should be given final ap-proval,” Harter explained. “In any event, the bins will not be moved unless the plan has been approved by the Department of Recreation and Parks and the bin enclosure is in place.”
Concerned community mem-bers will have a chance to discuss the matter of the bins at the Jan. 16 meeting before the board votes again for final approval.
“Whether or not the plan re-
ceives final approval, the park has a problem that requires urgent attention,” he continued. “The maintenance yard is infested with rats, and the rats must be immedi-ately eliminated.”
“Everyone’s got to put their heads together and find a better place [to move the bins],” Victor expressed. “Nobody wants a con-flict, we just want a solution that makes sense.”
The Oct. 30 meeting took place at 7 p.m.—after the Post had gone to print. For more informa-tion on Haas’ rat update as well as additional input from the commu-nity on the moving of the bins, see the Nov. 8 edition.

Efforts by residents of Mar-quette Street looking to enlist
the help of community leaders to stop or delay an incoming develop-ment of eight two-story homes with attached garages and swimming pools were thwarted at the Pacif-ic Palisades Community Council meeting on Thursday, Oct. 25.
In hopes of getting the PPCC to write a letter to the city of Los Angeles voicing concern or oppo-sition to the project, several Mar-quette Street residents presented their oppositions and findings to the council.
Linda Deacon, a neighboring resident to the project who also attended the public city hearing, read a list of what they are asking the city to do, including a thorough geotechnical assessment, “suffi-cient information regarding sewer plans,” and to significantly reduce
the size or the amount of homes being built.
“We would like you to urge the city to take action, to provide ade-quate oversight prior to granting a coastal development permit for this project,” Deacon said. “We need the council’s help to make sure the city does what is necessary to prevent another landslide on our street.”
With the closing of the “ad-visement period” coming four days after the PPCC meeting, Rick Mills, Area 4 representative, made a motion to write a letter that would urge the city of LA to “disallow use of sequential lot line adjustments” and that the city “look seriously and carefully at the detailed con-cerns.”
Throwing a wrench into the ex-pedited vote, Rick Lemmo, Pacific Palisades Chamber of Commerce representative, cited a PPCC bylaw that delays a vote pending further review from a voting party.
“On behalf of the Chamber of Commerce, I’d like to ask for an automatic postponement of our vote,” Lemmo said.
Mills quickly denounced that proposal and asked Lemmo to withdraw his request.
“It would be a black mark on a wonderful chamber of commerce if you use that tool, and is for no pur-pose other than to delay it and sup-port the development,” Mills said.
Rejecting the notion of sup-porting the development, Lemmo said, “Our vote counts for every-thing.”
Ultimately yielding to the by-laws, the PPCC board agreed to instead ask for an extension on the advisement period, but was later denied by the zoning administrator Kenton Trinh.
“Unfortunately, your request to extend the advisement period cannot be accommodated,” said Trinh in an email to the PPCC on Tuesday, Oct. 30. “Both the appli-cant and any members of the public in attendance were given adequate time to prepare and submit any comments/reports [regarding these specific issues].”
The sudden delay of the vote further raised questions of con-flicts of interest between develop-er Cosimo Pizzulli and members on the board with backgrounds in development and real estate. Sev-eral members of the community questioned if the delay was pre-or-chestrated or a genuine request for more time.
“I just think it’s bad form for this body to take any motion with-out hearing from both sides,” said Howard Robinson, chair of the Land Use Committee, who had re-cused himself for having a working relationship with Pizzulli. “This is being brought to us very late in the game, and this is why the LUC was formed, so that [the PPCC] would not have to go through this kind of incomplete process.”
Pizzulli, who was reportedly at the meeting prior to it starting but left before the Marquette Street hearing, issued a statement to the Palisadian-Post explaining his ab-sence.
“I am traveling, the design stu-dio is very busy we have current clients in Brussels, Paris, Milano, New York and Beverly Hills,” he said.
“I wish the Pacific Palisades Community Council the very best in their community meetings.”
The Marquette Street debate is expected to continue at the Nov. 8 meeting.

The Bay Theatre by Cinépolis Luxury Cinemas will open
on Friday, Nov. 9, according to a spokesperson for Cinépolis.
The opening date comes well over a month after Caruso’s Pal-isades Village project opened on Sept. 22—and just in time for highly anticipated films during the holidays.
While aesthetically ready for the Village’s ribbon cutting, heavy construction in the days following made it clear that there was still work to be done.
Workers who were approached by locals asking for an opening date caused further confusion, with only vague announcements of “mid-Oc-tober” and “early November” dates given by Cinépolis representatives.
Now, giving an exact date for the first time, Cinépolis has put an end to the rumors and new life to the excitement of the first Palisadi-an movie theater since the closing of the original Bay Theatre in 1978.
“The grand opening for the theater will be next Friday, Nov. 9,” a spokesperson for Cinépolis said. A ribbon-cutting ceremony is also expected to be held around that time.
The theater will feature a 3,000-square-foot lobby with five auditoriums, reclining leather seats, and a full dining and drink service.
After multiple residents pro-tested the liquor license of the the-ater, Cinépolis obtained an interim permit that allows the sale of alco-hol until February 2019, according to public records.
As this issue of the Palisadi-an-Post went to print, details of what movies will be screened on opening day were not yet available.
