mendations from the Environmental Review Board together with a communication from Mr.

tive Tract 7850 is approved. A transmittal from the Planning Director submitting final

Fj

Page #9 - Council Minutes - 2/20/73
The recommendations listed in Mr. Beychok's communication which he believes.should
be considered as conditions precedent to the issuance of any building permits are
as follows:
1. Huntington Harbour Corporation provide five sanitary pumpout facilities placed
conveniently throughout Huntington Harbour.
2. Huntington Harbour Corporation complete the pre -construction survey as required
by Orders 72-43 and 72-46 of the Regional Water Quality Control Board.
3. Huntington Harbour Corporation post a $500,000 bond guaranteeing completion of
the entire new channel connecting Victoria Passage with the Discovery Channel
by January 1, 1975. Failure to meet that guarantee would require a $500,000
lump -sum payment to the City of Huntington Beach on January 2, 1973.
4. Huntington Harbour Corporation and the City of Huntington Beach jointly obtain
a firm written commitment from the Coast Guard and the Corps of Engineers to
remove the old Anaheim Bay Bridge by January 1, 1974.
5. The City of Huntington Beach make a firm commitment that Edinger Avenue will
be widened to at least 68 feet all the way from Bolsa Chica Avenue to Sunset
Aquatic Park by January 1, 1974 with at least 337 of the cost provided by Hunt-
ington Harbour Corporation.
The corresponding recommendations of the Environmental Review Board and VTN are as
follows:
4-a. VTN Recommendation: That a total of five sanitary (boat holding tank) pumpout
facilities be conveniently placed through the Sunset Bay complex.
4-b.
ERB Recommendation: The Board recommends that the developer be.required to
install pumpout facilities for each slip within Tract 7850. it is also recom-
mended that the Department of Harbors and Beaches, the Department of Public
Works and the County of Orange prepare a plan to provide for an adequate dis-
tribution of pumpout facilities within the Sunset Bay Complex.
7-a.
VTN Recommendation: The pre -construction survey requited by Corder 72-46 be
completed.
7-b.
ERB Recommendation: Concurs and points out that the developer is required to
comply with all Orders issued by the Santa Ana Regional Water Quality Control
Board. This includes requirement A-1. "The discharge of wastes,.including
street drainage, storm runoff, and irrigation and storm runoff from landscaped
areas into the salt lake is prohibited."
8-a.
VTN Recommendation: Recognize that the completion of the charmmel is desirable
from an environmental point of view. Therefore, if it is determined that this
environmental "trade off" may not justify immediate capital expenditure (about
$1,000,000) a bond be posted to guarantee its completion within a reasonable
time frame.
8-b. ERB Recommendation: The Huntington Harbour Corporation shall enter into an
agreement with the City and post the necessary guarantees that will assure.
completion of the entire new channel connecting Victoria Passage with Discovery
Channel prior to January 1, 1976.
6-a. VTN Recommendation: That the Coast Guard declare the Anaheim Bay Bridge a
hazard to navigation and promulgate its removal.
6-b. ERB Recommendation: Concurs and the Department of Harbors and Beaches and
the Department of Public Works should pxrsue the matter to facilitate its re-
moval at the earliest possible date.
6501
Page #10 - Council Minutes - 2/20/73
5-a. VTN Recommendation: Edinger be widened to accommodate projected traffic.
5-b. ERB Comments: Edinger Avenue is designated as a primary highway on the Master
Plan of Arterial Streets and Highways and has an ultimate capacity of 30,000
vehicles per day. This will accommodate the anticipated traffic needs of the
area. The developer of Tract 7850 is responsible for fully improving the south
half of the street along the frontage of the tract. This will provide two traf-
fic lanes plus a parking lane. Each side of a street is generally constructed
by the abutting property owner upon development. However, in this case, the north
side of the property is abutted by the Orange County Flood Control District Channel.
In view of this fact and that Edinger leads to the County Aquatic Park, it is an-
ticipated that the widening can be financed with A.H.F.P. and Gas Tax Funds.
5-c. ERB Recommendation: The standard requirement of construction of one-half the
street be followed.
The Mayor stated that he would like to compare Mr. Beychok's recommendations point by
point with those of the Environmental Review Board, and that the Environmental Review
Board's recommendations are similar to those contained in the VTN Report.
Mayor Coen referred to Recommendation #1 listed in Mr. Beychok's communication, which
recommends that Huntington Harbour Corporation provide five sanitary pumpout facilities
placed conveniently throughout Huntington Harbour. Mayor 'Coen stated that this recom-
mendation corresponds with ERB Recommendation #4-b. He stated that Mr. Beychok's recom-
mendation is the same as that of VTN Recommendation #4A, however, the Environmental
Review Board's recommendation was more restrictive in nature as it required pumpout
facilities for each slip rather than only at certain key points within the development.
Discussion was held between the Council and staff regarding this requirement and its
impact upon the development.
Mr. John Nichol, representing the firm of Moffatt and Nichol Engineers, addressed Council
and stated that he believed the incidence of spillage would be greater using the individual
pumpout facilities rather than the centralized pumpout plan.
Mr. Martin Fenton, Chairman of the Christiana Companies, addressed Council concerning
the approximate cost per owner to maintain and operate the individual facilities as
opposed to the cost of a central system.
The Mayor then referred to Recommendation #2 listed in Mr. Beychok's communication,
which would require that Huntington Harbour Corporation complete the pre -construction
survey as required by Orders 72-43 and 72-45 of the Regional Water Quality Control Board.
This recommendation corresponds with ERB Recommendation 7-b and VTN Recommendation 7-a.
Mr. Beychok and Mr. Fenton concurred with the Council that no problems were anticipated
in this regard.
Mayor Coen then referred to Recommendation #3 listed in Mr. Beychok's communication
which would require that Huntington Harbour Corporation post a $500,000 bond guarante-
eing completion of the entire new channel connecting Victoria Passage with the Discovery
Channel by January 1, 1975. Failure to meet that guarantee would require a $500,000
lump -sum payment to the City of January 2, 1975. This recommendation basically cor-
responds with ERB Recommendation 8-b and VTN Recommendation 8-a.
The City Attorney addressed Council regarding the legal ramifications relative to the
posting of the necessary- guarantees.
Page #11 - Council Minutes - 2/20/73
Mx. Richard Harlow, Executive Assistant, stated that it is hoped that if the Council
can agree in principle with the ERB Recommendations and Mr. Beychok's recommendations,
that prior to the next meeting an agreement could be negotiated with Huntington Harbour
Corporation for their compliance with the various conditions of approval.
Discussion was held concerning the date which should be set for the completion of the
channel connecting Victoria Passage with Discovery Channel, relative to the.ERB's
recommendation for January 1, 1976 and that of Mr. Beychok's for January 2, 1975.
Mrs. Margaret Carlberg, Secretary of the Huntington Beach Environmental Council, ad-
dressed Council regarding the proposed completion date.
Mr. Martin Felton, Chairman of the Christiana Companies, and Mr. Don Byrnes, Vice -
President and General Manager of the Huntington Harbour Corporation, stated that they
were prepared to post a bond in the amount of $500,000 to guarantee the .completion of
the channel prior to January 1, 1976.
Mayor Coen referred to Recommendation jr: listed in Mr. Beychok's communication which.
would require that Huntington Harbour Corporation and the City jointly obtain a.firm
written commitment from the Coast Guard and the Corps of Engineers to remove the
old Anaheim Bay Bridge by January 1, 1974, and referred to VTN Recommendation 6-a
and ERB Recommendation 6-b on the matter.
Discussion was held regarding the City's past efforts to have the bridge removed and
what efforts should be made in the future, however, the staff stated that it would be
unfeasible to make the bridge removal a condition of approval for the tract. The
City Administrator stated that the City would continue its present efforts for the
removal of the bridge, however, that it will take time.
Mr. Fenton stated that his company has long recommended the bridge removal and he
believed if this matter was jointly pursued by the City, community and business cor-
porations,.pressure could be brought to remove the bridge.
Mr. Beychok agreed with Mr. Fenton that with joint effort the City could receive a
commitment within the year for the removal of the bridge.
Dr. Paul.Egley, representing the VTN Corporation, reported on his discussion with.the
Los Angeles Region of the Army Corps of Engineers regarding the bridge removal.
Mr. Boyd Ames, representing Environmental Impact Reports, Inc., Costa Mesa, addressed
Council and informed them that a resolution has recently passed Congress allocating an
expenditure of $40,000 to remove at least one more span of this bridge.
The Mayor referred to Recommendation #5 listed in Mr. Beychok's communication, re-
garding the widening of Edinger Avenue. This recommendation relates to ERB Comment
5b, ED Recommendation 5c and VTN Recommendation 5a.
Discussion was held between the Council and staff and the Director of Public Works
stated that the City's commitment for construction will, be met at the necessary time,
however, construction at this time is inappropriate.
Mr. Beychok addressed Council regarding his reasons for this recommendation.

Discussion was then held regarding ERB Recommendation 9-a which Mrs. Carlberg believed
should be included as a condition of approval, which states that the water Quality of
the lagoon within Tract 7850 is also of concern and it is recommended that, in addition
to the requirements imposed by the California Water Quality Control Board, the developer
be responsible for management and maintenance of the lagoon for a period of five years
or until the City is satisfied that the water purification system is satisfactory.
Mr. Fenton stated that his company finds this requirement in conflict with existing
laws which requiresthat the developer turn over the maintenance of any planned unit
development to the homeowners association after one year; however, his company is wil-
ling to warranty the design, quality etc; of the lagoon for a period of five years or
until such time that it is proven to the City that the design is acceptable.
The Executive Assistant stated that the staff would like direction from the Council so
they can prepare an agreement with Huntington Harbour insuring that Huntington Harbour
will comply with the required conditions and that said agreement will be a condition
of the Final Tract Map.
Discussion was held concerning Mr. Beychok's recommendation that the Tract Map be ap-
proved subject to conditions imposed by the Council and that no building permits be
issued until there had been such compliance.
Mr. Beychok informed Council that he did not mean that the conditions should be phys-
ically met before issuance of building permits; only that they be agreed upon.
The City Attorney then addressed Council concerning the legal ramifications of the
proposed agreement.
Relative to ERB Recommendation #4-b, a motion was made by Councilman Duke to direct the
