PUBLIC_COMMENTS
Arnold Fishel urged Council not to raise fees on community services.
George Arnold stated he had given Council a letter June 15, 1992. He spoke in
protest against the proposed farmers market at the parking lot in the downtown
area. He stated he felt he was discriminated against since his proposal for a
farmers market along the parking lot on Beach Blvd at Pacific Coast Highway
was turned down.
The City Administrator stated he had presented Council with a memo in response
to Mr. Arnold's letter. He stated that Mr. Arnold was denied his request for
a farmers market, and it had been suggested to Mr. Arnold to work with Golden -
west College or a group of merchants and make a proposal as a group as that is
the type of proposal that was being considered. He stated that Mr. Arnold has
the ability to make an appeal.
Jim Babbitt, Huntington Beach Firefighters member, expressed his concerns
about the present contract. He stated it had been said there would be no cuts
but; in fact, he stated the contract reduces the number of persons on the
engine company to two. He requested that Council meet with representatives
with no lawyers or department heads present to listen to their side to better
understand their concern on the issues.
Megan Oswald requested Council to amend Chapter 7.12 Section 7.12.160 ReLljpn-
tial Animal Permit of the Huntington Beach Municipal Code to include miniature
pot-bellied pigs.
Discussion was held between Mom_ Oswald and the Council pertaining to the
miniature pot-bellied pigs.
David i e , representing State of California Department of Transportation,
spoke in opposition to the item pertaining to the agreement and acceptance of
the California Coastal Commission's action to approve Local Coastal Program
Amendment No. 90-2, Resolution No. 6395, Whitehole area due to the technical
12language that appears in the language adopted by the Coastal Commission. He
0 presented a history of the deferred zoning of the property owned by Mills Land
Page 13 - Council/Agency Minutes -- 6/15/92
and Water Company. He stated he believed that the additional seven acres
required dedication was an unequal protection of law and jeopardizes the
settlement of the lawsuit between the State and the Mills, Land, and Dater
Company.
Discussion was held between David Simmes and Councilmember Kelly.
Gary Gorman, Huntington Beach Wetland Conservancy Executive Director, stated
he was a whitehole property owner, and he spoke in support of the item
pertaining to Local Coastal Program Amendment No. 90-2.
John Ely spoke in support of the item pertaining to Local Coastal Program
Amendment No. 90-2. He stated his desire to preserve the wetlands for his
children and for future generations. He stated he believed that approving the
limited zoning was the right thing to do for the present and for the future.
Eugenia Moore spoke in opposition to the item pertaining to Local Coastal
Program Amendment No. 90-2. She stated she believed the zoning overlay was
unwarranted and discriminates against Mills. She stated it was a violation of
equal protection and Mills legal rights. The city will be equally liable with
the Coastal Commission to the owners of Mills for monetary damages for violat-
ing constitutional protections against taking of private property without pay-
ment of just and fair compensation.
Robert London Moore. Jr., Mills Land and Water Company, stated that for the
record he was going to incorporate by reference each and every written and
oral statement submitted by Mills during the course of the proceedings on the
LCP that goes back over a period of 14 years. He stated he did not agree with
the 36 page report by the Department of Fish and Game which was the basis of
the conservation zoning. He spoke in opposition of the item pertaining to the
Local Coastal Program Amendment No. 90-2. He stated that it unfairly singles
out Mills Land and Water Company in a discriminatory act. He stated that
Mills and family would look to the courts for vindication of their rights. He
urged Council to resubmit the land use and zoning for the whitehole area to
the Coastal Commission for reconsideration.
VJ_ctor___LeipZig spoke in support of the item pertaining to the agreement and
acceptance of the California Coastal Commission's action to approve local
Coastal Program Amendment No. 90-2. He stated the approval would be the
beginning of a planning process in more detail for both the preservation and
development of portions of the whitehole area. He stated the technical
language that had been suggested by the Coastal Commission did not require the
landowners to do actual restoration of the area unless there was actual
development of the wetlands. He stated the Fish and Game report had been
supported by other wildlife agencies; in particular, The United States Fish
and Wildlife Service. He stated it was designed to protect endangered species.
Madelene Arakelian spoke in opposition to Ordinance No. 3148 pertaining to the
collection of recyclable materials stating it was negative to all recyclers.

the surface improvement of Gothard Street from Edinger Avenue to McFadden
