Peter Douglas stated that he represented TurnKey Operations and the California 10/20, a walk/run from Del Mar-Solana Beach-Encinitas had been rescheduled to February 16, 2014, and asked for cooperation from all three cities.

Councilmembers and Staff discussed putting together a work plan to include community outreach.

Tom Ryan stated he lived on S. Sierra, that his condo association was given City Council permission in 1978 to build a seawall and years later given permission to repair the seawall, which resulted in lawsuits, and that he believed the City used the correct language of "minimize impacts" in the ordinance.

Tom DiNoto stated he lived on Pacific, asked that the Land Use Plan (LUP) be brought to a City Council vote, that it was incorrect to assume there were no mortgages on bluff top homes, and to reject the LUP would be a waste of money.

David Winkler stated that he was a resident and supported concerns about the way in which negotiations were proceeding with the LUP, that it was important to let California Coastal Commission know that Council would reject the LUP, to reconcile the statement of avoid v. minimize impacts and the reduction of the 75 year permit life down to 18 years, that properties would be devalued, and that it would impact all property owners in loss of equity as well as revenue beyond the bluff top homes.

Stan Skripkus stated that the work on the Hwy 101 Project should have only been done on the south side of Lomas Santa Fe and then the other side in later phases, there should have been better planning, that during drives by at 7:00 a.m. there was no one working early or later and that the City should insist on on it, that there was no work on the weekends, that the implementation was bad, that the speed limit was 35 before construction and now it was 25 with terrible congestion.

Kathleen McKay stated that she had worked near a marijuana dispensary and wanted to share her experience, that they had keep all of their valuables out of sight because there had been break ins and thefts in the area, that people loitered in front of their office, that parking lot was always full of people hanging out, that since it was gone there was no longer traffic issues in the area, and asked people to vote down the initiative on the ballot.

Doug Hardwood said that he could see the foundations sticking out of homes on the bluffs but could not afford to build a million dollar seawall with a 20 year permit, that homes would dwindle away, that the City would be forced to condemn homes due to safety, and that buyers would be affected on their ability to obtain lending for purchase of homes in the area, that it was an immediate unfairness to those owners and the City, and asked that Council reject the LUP.

APPROVAL OF AGENDA:

MOTION: Moved by Campbell and seconded by Heebner.

Motion carried unanimously.
