LINDA MOON, representing Amigos De Bolsa Chica, stated that their organization shared the concern of the Bolsa Chica Land Trust. She requested that Council postpone any weed abatement on the property until a study can be made. SCOTT HARRIS, biologist, California Department of Fish and Game, stated that new information has been given to the State Department of Fish and Game. He presented reasons why he would urge the weed abatement be postponed for at least one growing season to give any wetlands vegetation a chance to come back so that a more complete wetland evaluation can be on that property. Mr. Harris, responded to Mayor Pro Tern Green regarding the possibility of reversing the letter of the California Department of Fish and Game. SANDRA GENIS, presented reasons why she believed Council should refrain from weed abatement on the Shea property until there has been another year of growing season. She stated that she is a professional land planner who has spent many years writing Environmental Impact Reports and that it had been a source of frustration to go to a site where resources had been destroyed- She requested that alternatives to the disking be explored and presented reasons. KIM KENNEDY, one of the Directors of the Bolsa Chica Stewards, urged that Council refrain from permitting weed abatement at the Shea Property as 9 1 % of the wetland properties in California are destroyed.

JUANA MUELLER, Vice President, Bolsa Chica Land Trust, requested that the scheduled disking of the Shea Property be postponed and presented reasons. She stated that she believed the report could be made in a reasonable time. BOB BIDDLE, representing Huntington Beach Tomorrow, presented reasons why he believes the Shea Company Property should be exempt from weed abatement with the exception of the buffer zone which would be required to have abatement for fire protection for the abutting homes.

Community Development Director Fallon reported on the Environmental Impact Report being done stating that it is ready for the 45 day public comment pefiod. She spoke further on the matter. City Administrator Silver stated that if Council wished a report to be returned to Council by mid -May. A motion was made by Green, second Sullivan to authorize the Street Superintendent to proceed with abatement of said nuisance and that the Shea Property on Graham Street be omitted from the weed abatement, except for a 100 foot buffer between the Shea Property and the adjacent homes if there is a concern of fire hazard; that a report on the Shea Property be presented in two weeks.

He stated Mr. Elliott's property may not be developable if only a portion is acquired. He informed Council of the cost that will be incurred by Mr. Elliott in having to modify his property. Mr. Belsito stated that the oil well would be very close to the street right-of-way which would preclude the well -pulling rigs to safely access the property due to the traffic going south and west on Gothard at the curve. Discussion was held between the City Council and Administrative Services Director Franz regarding the property as well as the adjacent properties involved. City Attorney Hutton reported on the issue. Mr. Belsito informed Council that he believes there are water lines in the rights -of -way of Clay and Crystal which probably would allow Mr.Elliott only limited access to the property because of the need to have ingress and egress to maintain the water lines. Mayor Dettloff declared the hearing closed. In response to Councilmember Garofalo, Bill Holman, representing PLC, stated that he believes the City staff rather than he should meet with the property owners regarding the concern of Mr. Belsito's client.
