Gentlemen:
In reply to your letter dated March 17, 1967, the records
of the Commandant do not contain any master agreement between. .
the Naval Weapons Station, Seal Beach and the City of
Seal Beach, regarding water and sewer transmission lines
which cross the Station and serve the residents of Seal Beach.
For information purposes, however, there is enclosed a
copy of Declaration of Taking No. 9 in connection with Civil
Action No. 3436-RJ, wherein 3t will be noted that the
Government acquired a fee simple estate subject to existing
easements for public utilities.

Evaluation of "Justification of Proposal" by the City of Seal Beach
General Comments
The most desirable natural barrier to provide separation between cities of
Huntington Beach and Seal Beach, and to avoid duplication of services appears
to be Sunset Bay and its waterways.
The only means of access for safety services between Seal Beach and
Surfside is the bridge across the Sunset Bay waterways. Congestion on the
bridge due to heavy weekend beach traffic or a traffic accident would isolate
Surfside from all safety services provided by Seal Beach.
Surfside is separated from the populated area of Seal Beach by one mile of
military reservation and a waterway.
Surfside has no common boundary with a populated area of Seal Beach. . A
common boundary of 2150 feet does exist between a populated and commercial
area of Huntington Beach.
The highway along the Sunset-Surfside area is serviced by three public police
patrol agencies. The proposed annexation would create a fourth.
Present Seal Beach fire facilities would have to be moved one-half mile
southeast to be within the accepted two mile response area. The present
level of fire protection would be reduced by the implementation of the proposed
annexation.
It may be assumed that there is general agreement on those items that are not
mentioned.
Item C. 5. Proximity to Other Populated Areas
Two thousand feet of the proposed boundary is adjacent to the populated and
commercial areas of Huntington Beach. Three hundred feet is adjacent to
populated Sunset Beach and there is no common boundary with a populated
area of Seal Beach.
Item E. Governmental Services in Area
Two major services have been excluded in the "Justification of Proposal. "
2.
Water Services
The water system is owned and operated by the City of Huntington Beach
Water Department.
Lifeguard Services
The entire beach area is patroled and serviced by the City of Huntington Beach
Harbors and Beach Department.
Item F. Need for Additional Governmental Services or Controls.
General Statements - Paragraph 2 and 3.
The Surfside Colony is separated,from the populated part of Seal Beach
by a waterway and one mile of military reservation. The only incorporated
and populated area that is closely related to Surfside is the City of Huntington
Beach (prefer to enclosed map).
Police Protection
The statement that Seal Beach provides police "protection along the beach area
and streets adjacent" to Surfside is not understood. There are no streets
adjacent to the annex that are in Seal Beach. Huntington Beach lifeguards
report never having seen Seal Beach guards east of the bridge: Also, the
only adjacent street is the long strand of Pacific Coast Highway which extends
through the Naval Weapons Station.
The City of Huntington Beach currently provides police protection to the
populated area adjacent to.Surfside and must travel through the proposed annex
highway to patrol their area. This has and will continue to create a difficult
enforcement situation. The highway along the Sunset-Surfside sections
already has three public police patrol agencies and there is no need to create
a fourth.
Fire Protection
The point that Surfside has a 9B Pacific Fire Rating Bureau classification is not
afire department issue. This poor rating is caused by a substandard water
system. The fire rates could immediately be. dropped to a SA classification
if annexed to Huntington Beach and if our Water Department was permitted
to connect the city's water system to the Sunset-Surfside system.
The City of Huntington Beach currently has a fire station in the proposed
annex area. Three paid men and 1000 gallon per minute pumper are on
continuous duty. According to the Huntington Beach Fire Department,
Seal Beach's existing downtown fire station would have to be'moved one-half
mile east to be within the accepted two mile response of Surfside.
Park and Recreation
Lifeguard services are currently being provided by the City of Huntington Beach.
The level of service meets all recognized standards and twenty four hour continuous
year around protection is in the area at all times.

1. Rescue Vessels 8 2
2. Mobile Units 11 1
3. Fulltime Lifeguards 73 17
4. Seasonal Lifeguards 24 hrs. 9 hrs.
5. Average Daily Service (off season) 4 hrs. 16 hrs.
6. Average Daily Service (June-July-Aug.) 2 2 16
7. Minimum Available Personnel
4.
Item F. 4. Alternative Courses of Action
The issue of the Elementary School District boundary conflict is off=set
by the fact that Surfside is in the,Huntington Beach.High School District.
Land in Huntington Beach is available and currently zoned to provide a
shopping center adjacent to Sunset and Surfside.
We question the statement that annexation to another city could,present
boundary difficulties. Map reference and a study of existing governmental
services will illustrate that boundary difficulties would occur if Seal Beach
annexed this area.
Alternative 3. -
According to Orange County's "Sunset Beach-Surf side•Study - Technical
Reports" the sewer treatment and water service problem are extensive .
and would be costly to remedy. Trunk sewer and water lines hav a been
engineered and installed by the City of Huntington Beach to handle both
Sunset Beach and Surfside. Only short line connections are required.
The issue of sewer treatment is an important point. The existing sewer
plant is running near capacity and causes odor complaints.
Item H. #1
The proposed annexation will create an increase in Surfside's taxes of
$1. 2856 per $100 assessed value,
Item H, #2
These statements should be looked at in the light of the information provided
in previous pages of this report.
Item 1
Only one service organization and/or special taxing district will be eliminated
by the annexation.

See page 5D.
F. reed for Additional Governmental Services and Controls :
General Government: The City of Seal Beach is a chartered
city with a five member City Council ele.ctezd for four year
overlapping tems by districts and a council-manager fona
of government. The 5 member planning commission is appointed
for four year overlapping terms by the City Council. The
City Ball is less than two road miles from the proposed
annexation, thereby being; considerably more convenient for
residents of the area in handling of local govenwiental
matters affecting their area. Many of the problems of the
area, particularly in the field of zoning, are similar to
those of areas currently in the City and therefore could
receive localized attention.
As the proposed annexation area is immediately adjacent to
the city any development, growth and/or lack of development
will affect, to some extent, the remaining, portions of tale
city, particularly any developments that will occur within
the city (or the city's sphere of influence) in the south-
easterly area of the city.
It is contended that the representation provided by a city
government would be more responsive to local needs and that
a combination of city representative and county supervisorial
representation would be beneficial to the area proposed to be
annexed.
Police Protection: Presently police protection is provided
along beach areas and streets adjacent to the proposed
annexation. The size of the area and population would not
seemly impose an undue burden on the present police strength.
As most of the beach area is private property and restricted
by the layout of the residential area from extensive use by
zae general public, it is not anticipated that beach crowds
.:A.11 present a problem.
By having a police station within two miles, an adequately
r.anned department including sufficient patrol strength, the
amount of patrol time devoted to the area will undoubtedly
be increased and thereby enable the colony to either dispense
with or reduce the use of private patrol services.

Need for Additional Governmental Services and Controls (cont'd)
Police Protection (cont'd)
The city will also enforce traffic regulations within the
colony on the private streets, in accordance with the State
Vehicle Code, and thereby offer a partial solution to the
area parking problems.
Fire Protection: The area is currently classified as 9 B
by the Pacific Fire Rating Bureau for insurance purposes.
This is a very undesirable rating and indicates a need for
increased fire protection and fire defense services.
Present services are provided by a volunteer fire fighting
force.
The City of Seal Beach has on order an aerial platform
(snorkle) truck and an additional 1,500 gpm pumper,
which together with the cicy's three 1,000 gpm pumpers
and other equipment, provides considerable flexibility
in fire fighting apparatus.
The City has initiated a program of staffing fire stations
with full time professional fire fighting personnel. It is
anticipated that the company which will be the "first in"
for the proposed annexation area will be staffed with full
time personnel within approximately iz years and will be the
third full time fire fighting company. "Second in" response
would be provided by a company with full time personnel.
The proposed annexation area is within two miles runninb
distance of the first response fire company as recommended
by the American Insurance Association (National Board of
` Fire Underwriters) for residentail areas.
There is little doubt therefore that the present fire
fighting capabilities will be somewhat improved currently
and that over the succeeding years, the service will improve
' substantially.
Park and Recreation: The area's basic recreation area is the
beach fror.z. both private and publically owned. The city would
► be responsible for lifeguard service in the publically owned
areas and would staff the area with personnel during the summer
and provide roving checks during the winter season. This
1 follows the basic pattern of current services.
Sb.
i
F. 4. What alternative courses of action exist for meeting the
need described above:
1. Alternative: The area proposed to be annexed to
Seal Beach might be annexed to another city.
Evaluation: The proponents have not indicated a desire
or willingness to be annexed to their other neighboring
city. The proposed annexation area is within the Seal
Beach Elementary School District and the residents of
the area tend to do much of the shopping in Seal ►3each.
A portion of the area is bounded on the north by Seal
Beach and annexation to another city could present
boundary difficulties.
2. Alternative: Incorporation.
Evaluation: Completely insufficient tax base even when
combined with other nearby unincorporated areas.
3. Alternative: Remain an unincorporated terrtitory.
Evaluation: The proponents contend that governmental
services would be enhanced by a local governmeiit with
the representation of a locally elected council. Zoning
problems could receive consideration by an agency faced
with similar problems in adjacent areas. By consolidating
work forces with the city the cost to the Colony for
street and beach maintenance could be reduced. The
residents of the area appear to recognize that there is
a need for municipal type services and desire to have an
opportunity to determine the city of their choice. It is
recognized that in arriving at solutions to sewer treatment
and water service problems, the assistance of a municipality's
staff would be helpful even though the financial problems
are handled by the annexation area.

G. What Revenue Will Your Proposal Require For The Accomplishment
Of Its Goals And What Are The Prespective Sources Of Such
Revenue:
It is estimated that the city would receive the following
annual revenues :
1. Property Taxes $120620
2. Motor Vehicle In Lieu
and Gas Taxes 49170
3. Sales Tax 500
4. Business Licenses 75
Total $17 290
It is estimated that the city would expend the following
amounts annually:
1. Lifeguard Service $ 39400
2. Police (proration of costs) 5,000
3. Beach Clean Up and
Operational Maintenance 59000
4. General Government 3000
Total $16:050
It is anticipated that charges for building permits and
similar items would be offset by city expenditures.
Beach erosion costs and problems would continue to be
handled by the Surfside Storm Water Protection District.

The proponents as residents of Surfside Colony desire to
have the area annexed to the City of Seal Beach. The area
may not be of immediate direct economic benefit to the City
and may even result in a deficit for a period of time. However,
over the long run, as the area develops more modern housing
(which appears to be very likely because of current land prices)
the annexation of the Surfside Colony area would result in an
advantageous one to the City.
The proponents are willing to provide solutions to many of
their area problems including off-street parking and clearing
title to property held "in common," but may need the staff
assistance of a municipality to achieve the solutions. They
are also willing to continue the financial support of correcting
the beach erosion problem and thereby not to impose the problem
on the City in general. In order to up-grade their community
it is their belief, however, that it can be accomplished easier
and faster by working with a municipality.
The colony is also desirous of maintaining its private, walled-in
community. The City of Seal Beach has had experience with this
type of community within the City (Leisure World - Seal Beach) .
It is requested that the proposed annexation be approved as
submitted.

Local Agency Formation Commission
515 N. Sycamore Street
Santa Ana, California
Reference: Proposed Annexation to the City of Seal Beach No. 67-1
Gentlemen:
In keeping with the legislative intent which resulted in the formation of the
Local Agency Formation Commission we ask your honorable body to
seriously consider the following points with respect to the above mentioned
proposed annexation.
Government Code Section 35044 requires that any tide or submerged lands
included within a territory proposed to be annexed to a city must have a
description of the boundaries and a map filed with the State Lands Commission
for that body,'''S,approval prior to the filing of the proposed annexation with the
Local Agency Formation Commission.
Second, the most logical boundary between the cities of Huntington Beach and
Seal Beach would be the Anaheim Bay and its waterways. Prior to the formation
of the Local Agency Formation Commission a narrow extension of the corporate
limits of Seal Beach easterly of the Anaheim Bay waterways skirting the Naval
Weapons Station was, in our opinion, illegal. To compound this action still
does not make it right.
2.
To avoid duplication of municipal services it would seem desirable that
the Anaheim Bay-Sunset Bay waterways continue_ to be a natural city limit.
The only means of access for safety services between Seal: ,Beach and.
Surfside is the bridge across the Sunset Bay waterways. A traffic accident
or heavy weekend traffic would isolate Surfside from all safety services
provided by Seal Beach.
Surfside has no common boundary with the populated area of Seal Beach .
The two communities are:_separated by a one mile military reservation and a
waterway. A look at the map, however, shows a common boundary of 2150 feet
between the populated and commercial area of Huntington Beach.
Coast Highway adjacent to the Sunset-Surfside area is presently patrolled
by three public police agencies. and this annexation would create a fourth.
Present Seal Beach fire facilities are not within the accepted two mile response
area. Because of this distance and a substandard water; system, Surf side's
9-B fire rating is not likely to improve.
The Sunset-Surfside area is presently served by a common water system
c
and a common sewer system, b6th"of-:'Which are in dire need of capital
improvement and expansion. The City of Huntington Beach is presently cooperating
on plans for the improvement and development of both the water and sewer
systems as an integral unit. To fragment the area by annexation would only
postpone and encumber this undertaking. The City of Huntington Beach has
built water mains and a sewer system in Coast Highway adjacent to the
Surfside-Sunset Beach area that have been engineered to handle the capacities
of these communities.
3.
The City of Huntington Beach has been furnishing lifeguard service to the
Surfside area for many years under contract *ith the County.
Economic forces,,,will have a profound affect on the long range future
of the Sunset Beach-Surfside community. It is reasonable to expect a
gradual conversion to a very intense use of the land for residential,
recreational and commercial uses. From a community service point
of view that area between.the Santa Ana River and Anaheim Bay should be
in the City of Huntington Beach.
Yours truly,
CITY OF HUNTINGTON BEACH

MEMORANDUM
TO: City Council
FROM: City Administrator
DATE: April 14, '1967
SUBJECT: SURFSIDE ANNEXATION
In regard to your request of April 3, the City staff has compiled the
following information regarding the Surfside Colony. The following
comments are highlights from the individual department reports.
The most logical boundary between the cities of Huntington Beach and
Seal Beach would be the Anaheim Bay and its waterways. Such a boundary
would minimize duplication of services and resulting problems.
Surfside's tax rate will increase $1. 2856 per $100 assessed valuation by
annexing to Seal Beach.
Surfside's poor fire rating of 9B is not a fire department issue. The
poor rating is caused by a substandard water system.
Huntington Beach has existing water mains in Highway 1 which are
engineered to service the Surfside-Sunset Beach area.
Huntington Beach at present has a fully manned fire station located at
the south eastern end of the annexation.
If Surfside were ever to be annexed to Huntington Beach the poor fire
rating of 9B could easily be reduced to a Class 5 for residential and a
Class 6 for. commercial due to close proximity of existing water mains
and existing fire station owned and operated by Huntington Beach.
The reduced cost in fire insurance would cover the City'of Huntington
Beach tax rate of $1. 33 in some instances.
Surfside's sewer system is at or near capacity. Huntington Beach has
sewer mains presently located in Highway 1 which are engineered to
'handle the Surfside-Sunset Beach area sewage.
2.
The highway along the Sunset-Surfside area is presently served by three
public police patrol agencies. The annexation would create a fourth.
The annexation would cause Huntington Beach to have 2150 feet of frontage
on a street 'which would be controlled by Seal Beach's development
requirements.
Lifeguard and fire service, especially, and other safety services could
best be provided by the City of Huntington Beach.
Seal Beach's oy means of access to Surfside. for fire, police and lifeguard
emergency service is the brims crossing the Anaheim Bay channel. Week-
end beach traffic, a traffic accident, or any form of congestion would
completely separate the two areas, isolating Surfside from safety services.

MEMO:
TO: Doyle Miller, City Administrator
FROM: K. A. Reynolds, Planning Director
SUBJECT: Surfside Annexation
DATE: April 11, 1967
Submitted herewith are some facts and personal opinions on
the Surfside area.
I. History
A. Surfside Colony was subdivided by the ORD Land
Company in 1929.
B. It became a private corporation in 1935•
II. General Data
A. Area - 43 acres
B. Lot sizes range generally from 26' x 35' to 57' x 79' .
Most are near the small end of the range.
C. Surfside is predominately a single family residential
area.
D. Streets are 20' and 25' wide with a 10' alley.
1. Street improvements are substandard.
2. Alley improvements do not exist.
3. Vehicular - pedestrian conflicts are common.
4. The street system is inadequate to handle increased
traffic volumes if there is a substantial increase
in dwelling unit density.
E. Off-street parking facilities are inadequate.
F. Increases in population densities will require
substantial changes in the water and sewer systems.
III. Zoning
A. Three parcels are zoned C2 "General Business"
and the remaining parcels are zoned R4 "Suburban
Residential" (1 dwelling unit per 3000 sq. ft.
of land area).
1. Acres of C2 - 0.6
2. Acres of R4 - 14.0
IV. Land Use
A. Existing July, 1966
1. Commercial 0.5 acres
2. Residential 8.2 "
3. Recreation 21.0 "
4. Streets 7.1 "
5. Vacant 5.9 it
B. Lots July, 1966
1. No. of lots 246
2. Single family lots 169
3. Duplex lots 1
4. Fourplex lots 1
5. Vacant residential lots 69
6. Commercial lots 4
7. Vacant Commercial lots 1
8. Residential-Commercial lots 1
C. Condition of structures July, 1966
1. Good 40
2. Fair 80
3. Poor 52
4. Extremely poor 6
V. Major Economic Forces in the Area
A. Naval Weapons Station
B. Huntington Harbour
Co Sunset Aquatic Park
D. Bolsa Corporation property
E. Desalination Plant
F. Pacific Coast Freeway
G. Sunset Harbor (proposed small craft harbor)
VI. Future
A. Surfside will probably remain a single family
residential area for some years.
B. The economic forces listed under V above
(particularly G) will have a profound effect on
the long-range future of Surfside. It is
reasonable to expect a gradual conversion to a
very intense use of the land for residential,
recreational and commercial uses.
VII. Other
A. From a community planning and service point of
view, the logical division between Huntington
Beach and Seal Beach is Anaheim Bay. .
1. A good area map should be used at the LAFCO
hearing to show the relationship of Huntington
Beach, Seal Beach and Anaheim Bay.
B. Although the beach in Surfside is public and
publicly maintained it is virtually private,
because of very limited access and very limited
public parking.
C. Houses in the area have small side yards and
little or no front and rear yards. Access to
off-street parking is difficult. Any new
construction will require yard and area variances
from the Board of Zoning Adjustments.

COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS LIFEGUARD SERVICE
City of Huntington Beach City of Seal Beach
1. Rescue Vessels 3 *O
2. Mobile Units 8 2
3. Fulltime Lifeguards 11 1
4. Seasonal Lifeguards 73 17
5. Average Daily Service (off season) 24 hrs. 9 hrs.
6. Average Daily Service (June-July-Aug. ) 24 hrs. 16 hrs.
7. Minimum Available Personnel 2 *O
The City of Huntington Beach, as the above facts clearly indicate, is
certainly in a much more advantageous position to provide a daily lifeguard
service the year round for the 2.2 miles of County beach in Sunset and
Surfside.
The seven emergency vehicles and three ocean rescue boats operated by our
Department are all inter-communicable with each other and are mutually
dispatched from the communications center at Harbors and Beaches Department
Headquarters. Seal Beach has but two radio equipped vehicles and no
communications center. They must rely on Police dispatch.
Our department has at least one lifeguard on duty and one on stand-by
emergency call 24-hours a day, 365 days a year. With the exception of
the three summer months (16 hours per day) Seal Beach has no guards on
duty for 16 hours of every day. Although their Police department has a
list of four men to contact in case of emergency, there is no assurance
that any of them will be available, because they are not scheduled or
required to be home or to be in telephone contact.
Significantly, Seal Beach has no ocean equipment whatsoever with which to
supplement their already extremely limited scope of service in terms of
24-hour available man power and emergency response time.
We strongly urge the residents of Surfside and Sunset Beach to consider
the above facts and to investigate both services thoroughly before making
any important decisions concerning their community's future.

Water service is provided by the city of Huntington Beach. The
source of supply is two wells located at Warner Avenue and Los
Patos Avenue. The wells are capable of producing enough water
to meet domestic needs only at about 30 pounds per square inch.
There is insufficient supply or storage for fire-fighting purposes.
Were this area to annex to the city of Huntington Beach, fire service
could be provided by constructing mains for this purpose seaward
from our existing main in Highway 1. This would provide a dependable
pressure, volume and duration of water supply and could result in
decreased fire insurance rates.
Sewer service is provided by the Sunset Beach Sanitary District.
heir present treatment plant is operating near or at capacity and
would be a limiting factor in further development of the area.
Were the area annexed to Huntington Beach and if the District were
dissolved the treatment plant could be abandoned and the sewage
transported in city sewers which were designed to handle the
Sunset Beach-Surfside area .
If they remain a district and in the county, sewer capacity would
be available in the future Orange County Sanitation District's
trunk sewer in Highway 1.
A street problem would be caused by annexing to the inland side of
Highway 1. Huntington Beach would have a frontage of about 2150 feet
that would be controlled by Seal Beach development requirements.

Subject: Requested information - Seal Beach, Surfside.
In reference to your request concerning comparison of tax rates, etc.,
of Huntington Beach, Seal Beach and Surfside, I have compiled the
following:
Total City
Current Rate Rate ,
Surfside:
Area 64-oo4 8.0126

If the Surfside Colony annexed to either Huntington Beach or Seal Beach,
then their tax rate would be as follows:

Some of the other areas which might affect the consideration of
annexation would, or could, be the following:
1. Refuse Collection Charges - Seal Beach 31.00 per month.
Huntington Beach, no charge.
2. Sunset Beach Sanitation District - �.6000 tax rate.
3. Sunset Beach Lighting District - .1007 tax rate,
currently on area 64-004 only.
4. Quality of service of Fire, Police, and Public "dorks
to be provided by either of the two cities.
5. Sewer facility to be established and maintained -
differences in initial cost of construction in conjunc-
tion with Seal Beach, Huntington Beach and one proposal
being considered by Surfside to connect to district
facilities Near Fountain Valley.
6. Beach Lifeguard and 14aintenance Services - Huntington
Beach would undoubtedly provide a higher level of
service at a lower unit cost.
7. Status of Surfside as a private community versus a
normal, integral part of the annexing city.
8. Zoning theory and policy as it applies to Surfside
becoming a part of the annexing city.
9. The status of the Surfside Colony Community Service
District and the Surfside Colony Storm dater Protection
District -- do the districts remain or can they be
integrated into and become part of the annexing city.
There are additional tax rates in area 85-005 of $1.00
and 42.5992 respectively that could have a tremendous
impact on either Surfside or the annexing city depend-
ing on which direction and policy are taken.
I have attached a breakdown of tax rates for Surfside for the three
taxing area affect4d. These are the areas which, accoang to the
County Assessor, have an effect on the citizens of Surfside. I hope
that the above information will be of use and benefit to you in your
determination of what type of report you will submit to the City
Council.

MEMORANDUM

FROM: Police Chief
DATE: April13 1967
SUBJECT: PROPOSED SURFSIDE j SEAL BEACH ANNEXATION
As per your request of April 11 regarding the providing of police service to
the Surfside Colony located on Pacific Coast Highway, the following information
is hereby submitted:
The residential area in question is primarily single family residential which
occupies 8. 2 acres or 19 per cent of the total area of 42. 7 acres. This type
of residential community tends to produce a minimum called for service.
The beach area approximates 21 acres or 49 per cent of the whole and during
summer months may constitute a high "called for service" rate.
After having gone to the Surfside Colony and conducting a personal survey of
the area it is my opinion that the primary factor making Huntington Beach the
most logical and realistic City to which the Surfside Colony should consider
annexation is the accessibility of emergency equipment. Seal Beach, for
example, has one and only one point of ingress to Surfside and that sole
route is by a bridge on the Pacific Coast Highway which spans the waterway
entrance to the;.-proposed aquatic park. In the event of an emergency situation on,
or adjacent to the aforementioned bridge, emergency equipment from Seal
Beach could not gain access to the Surfside Colony. The only alternate
route available would be by way of Bay Boulevard to Westminster Avenue to
Bolsa Chica Road through Huntington Beach to Warner to Pacific Coast Highway,
and ultimately to Surfside. This route is about five miles out of the way and
during peak traffic hours could result in a substantial loss of time when
responding to an emergency call. It should be further noted that any incident
of the slightest magnitude could and will create a traffic bottleneck at the
bridge during peak traffic hours and during the summer, the routine flow of
traffic could easily prevent emergency equipment from entering the Surfside
Colony. Another point of consideration toward the same problem, is that
the Seal Beach Police Department does not have access to Surfside by way
of the beach proper due to the location o the U. S. Naval Shipyard installation.
Huntington Beach Police Department does, however, have direct access to
Surfside by way of the sand in the event of extreme congestion on Pacific
Coast Highway. The photographs accompanying this report will give an
illustration as to the points of ingress and egress and also show the new
bridge under construction which is located in such a mannerIas not to
alter the physical layout of the area.

April 12,1967
FIRE PROTECTION REPORT - SURFSIDE COLONY
The Surfside Colony is a piece of unincorporated land adjoining
Sunset Beach on the west from the Pacific Coast Highway to the
Ocean and runs along the south side of part of Huntington Beach. _
The Colony is made up of about 176 residential dwellings and several
businesses.
The water system is part of the Sunset-Surfside Water Company
currently under purchase by the City of Huntington Beach. The
mains and hydrants are substandard with static water pressure
at approximately 32-35 pounds, solely from the head of the two
water tanks. The Capacity of the two wooden -rater tanks is about
150,000 gallons of storage for both Sunset & Surfside. Fire flow
at the east end at Anderson Street is about 540 GPM ® 20 PSI and
is below minimum requirements. Lack of sufficient fire flows and
adequate storage create the' danger of a conflagration.
Solution: The City of Huntington Beach parallels the lines of
the Sunset-Surfside- Water Company in several areas with both 1611
and 911 mains and with 70 pounds pressure and large fire flows for
both commercial and residential areas. The mains of both companies
could easily be cross connected to provide adequate water for
fire and erase the deficiency that exists..
The Fire fighting force for the area is provided by the County
Fire Department from the Sunset Beach Station located less than
mile south of Anderson Street . They respond with the first in
engine company,A11 Volunteer., and are followed by Midway City County .
or Los Alamitos County or the City of Huntington Beach on mutual
aid. The requirements of the rating burea decree that there shall
be a first in engine within two miles of the area. The Seal Beach
Fire Station is located two full miles north of the Colony and no
part of the area is within the two mile response area.
Solution: The City of Huntington Beach has a temporary fire
station at the water department area on Anderson Street in the
south end of surfside and will later move to Warner and Coast Highway
still within the two miles of all parts of Surfside. We presently
house a Fire Pumper with two men on duty at all times and an
amphibious fire boat with one full time man.
The Pacific Fire Rating Bureau insurance grading for the area is
NB Class 9B with very high insurance rates. The Ctunty Fire Department
has had a new survey madecof the Sunset H Surfside are and the
results have not been announced but they have been told the grade
of class 9B will remain the same due primarily to water deficiency.

Should the area be annexed to the City of Seal Beach they
would have to prove their present fire station in Seal Beach
mile south tK-e- bring the area within the prescribed two mile
limit or build and man a separate fire station in the surfside
area,costly for only 176 homes. The City of Huntington Beach
is presently protecting 100 condiminium homes, several expensive
businesses up to $350,000 parallel to surfside on the east and
the homes on the islands at Huntington Harbor west of the main
channel plus several hundred boats in the harbor from our present
surfside station,. This station is also second in for another
fire station on Heil Street to the east of the harbor and manned
with full paid firemen.
Should this area be annexed to Seal Beach it will remain Class
9B for many years due to almost insurmountable problems while
if annexed to the City of Huntington Beach it could easily be
reclassified to Class 5 for residential and class 6 for commercial
bV simple water main ties.
An indication of the difference in insurance rates under the
new $50.00 deductible rates announced on April 1 are indicated
below:
Value of Home $ Class 5 Class 9B
9000 $ 67 1223 6
10,000 80 145
12,000 92 165
14,000 102 192
18,000 125 220
200000 137 239
220000 150 259
From the above you can see there is a difference of 59.00 per
house or 19 .33 per house per year difference. The 176 houses
. if all 9,.000 minimum would pay 3,402.00 more under B than under
Class 5 . This insurance difference would pay for 1, .50 dollars
assessed valuation under Huntington Beaches 1.33 tax rate.
The above rates are for single family homes and rates for all
commercial structures are' much higher and have a greater spread.
Owners of restaurnats or larger commercial structures have
considerable trouble getting adequate insurance coverage under
Class 9 .B

Due to the present city area of the City of Huntington
Beach extending from Warner avenue on the South to nearly
the north end of Surfside and Covering half the area between
the main channel of Huntington Harbour and the ocean it
does not seem feasable to divide the area down the middle
with the east half in Huntington Beach .and the west half in
6xe Beach creating small costly to operate areas.
This area has *been included in our master plan of fire stations
and future fire protection studies which must assure adequate
fire insurance rates with reduced fire protection costs to our
taxpayers.
The City of Huntington does have adequate fire fighting force,
apparatus and equipment in this area now,has adequate water lines
for now and future growth and adequate backup of storage capacity,
water wells and Metropolitan connections.
On January 15,1967 all the area of the City east of Surfside
was placed 'in class 5 for residential and Class 6 for commercial
and reducing rates by the chart shown above.
The City of Huntington Beach furnishes fire boat protection
in the main channel and Naval weapons Station within the City
of Seal Beach as theyhave no fire boat. This is done at no cost
on a mutual aid basis.
Future plans for a fire facility at Warner and Coast Highway
call for a Water--Land facility for pumper,rescue unit and fire
boat with offices and dock facilities for police and life guards.
This one facility can economically protect all of the harbor
area with no duplication of services and minimum cost to the
area taxpayers.

Evaluation of "Justification of Proposal" by the City of Seal Beach
General Comments
The most desirable natural barrier to provide separation between cities of
Huntington Beach and Seal Beach, and to avoid duplication of services ars
to be Sunset Bay and its waterways. ap--
The only means of access for safety services between Seal Beach and
Surfside is the bridge across the Sunset Bay waterways. Congestion on the
bridge due to heavy weekend beach traffic or a traffic accident would isolate
Surfside from all safety services provided by Seal Beach.
,p? Surfside is separated from the populated area of Seal Beach by one mile of
military reservation and a waterway.
Surfside has no common boundary with a populated area of Seal Beach. A
common boundary of 2150 feet does exist between a populated and commercial
area of Huntington Beach.
The highway along the Sunset-Surfside area is serviced by three public police
patrol agencies. The proposed annexation would create a fourth.
-I2Present Seal Beach fire facilities would have to be moved one-half mile
southeast to be within the accepted two mile response area. The present
level of fire protection would be reduced by the implementation of the proposed
annexation.
It may be assumed that there is general agreement on those items that are not
mentioned.
Item C. 5. Proximity to Other Populated Areas
Two thousand feet of the proposed boundary is adjacent to the populated and
commercial areas of Huntington Beach. Three hundred feet is adjacent to
populated Sunset Beach and there is no common boundary with a populated
area of Seal Beach.
Item E. Governmental Services in Area
Two major services have been excluded in the "Justification of Proposal. "

SUBJECT: SURFSIDE ANNEXATION
In regard to your request of April 3, the City staff has compiled the
following information regarding the Surfside Colony. The following
comments are highlights from the individual department reports.
The most logical boundary between the cities of Huntington Beach and
Seal Beach would be the Anaheim Bay and its waterways. Such a boundary
nn^ would minimize duplication of services and resulting problems.
WA
Surfside's tax rate will increase $1. 2856 per $100 assessed valuation by
annexing to Seal Beach.
Surfside's poor fire rating of 9B is not a fire department issue. The
poor rating is caused by a substandard water system.
Huntington Beach has existing water mains in Highway 1 which are
engineered to service the Surfside-Sunset Beach area.
Huntington Beach at present has a fully manned fire station located at
the south eastern end of the annexation.
If Surfside were ever to be annexed to Huntington Beach the poor fire
Q rating of 9B could easily be reduced to a Class 5 for residential and a
Class 6 for commercial due to close proximity of existing water mains
and existing fire station owned and operated by Huntington Beach.
The reduced cost in fire insurance would cover the City'of Huntington
Beach tax rate of $1. 33 in some instances.
Surfside's sewer system is at or near capacity. Huntington Beach has
sewer mains presently located in Highway 1 which are engineered to
handle the Surfside-Sunset Beach area sewage.

The highway along the Sunset-Surfside area is presently served by three

The annexation would cause Huntington Beach to have 2150 feet of frontage
on a street which would be controlled by Seal Beach's development
requirements.
Lifeguard and fire service, especially, and other safety services could
best be provided by the City of Huntington Beach.
Seal Beach's o means of access to Surfside for fire, police and lifeguard
emergency service is the bride crossing the Anaheim Bay channel. eelC-
end beach traffic, a traffic accident, or any form of congestion would
completely separate the two areas, isolating Surfside from safety services.

The Honorable Mayor and
Members of the City Council
The City of Huntington Beach
Huntington Beach, California
Gentlemen:
There have recently been a number of newspaper articles which have
indicated that the City of Seal Beach is actively engaged in the
annexation of the areas known as Sunset Beach and Surfside. There
have also been newspaper articles that indicated that the City
Council of the City of Seal Beach was involved in lawsuits affect-
ing the water system serving the aforementioned areas.
Please be advised that at their regular meeting of August 1, 1966,
the Seal Beach City Council adopted a motion that stated that the
City Council is on record as having no current plans for annexing
the areas known as Sunset Beach and Surfside, and that the records
should show that the City Council has had no discussions with
residents of the area and is not involved in any lawsuits affecting
the area. The Council further directed that this information be
transmitted in writing to the City of Huntington Beach, .The Sunset
Beach Chamber of Commerce, and the Press.
a
Very truly yours,
THE CITY OF SEAL BEACH
Lee Risner
