REPORT ON ANNEXATION February, 1967 Maintaining the Surfside Colony as an unincorporated community is becoming more difficult. Past and future local developments are forcing the Colony's Directors to reevaluate its position of desiring to remain an unincorporated county community. Our purpose in questioning our current status is not to change the Colony's character, but quite to the contrary, we wish to insure the perpetuation of our present locally controlled private beach community status. There is little question but that we must soon decide which one of our neighboring cities to join; Huntington Beach or Seal Beach. Because of extreme pressure being brought to bear on us by the City of Huntington Beach, the Board of Directors felt this whole question of annexation should be evaluated at this time while we are still in a position to choose which city to join or continue to fight to remain unincorpora- ted. The question of forming a city of Sunset Beach-Surfside was investigated in great depth, and it appears that we cannot incorporate, mainly because the minimum land area required for a new city is not available to us. The Colony's Board of Directors has investigated the mutual benefits which would result from joining an established city. Huntington Beach, with whom we have no particularly close interests or ties, continues to aggressively take action in an attempt to force Surfside under their control. They purchased our water company in spite of an order from the Public Utilities Commission barring them from doing so. This has been protested in court however, and it now appears a new water district can be formed. They continue to protest every building variance applied for in Surfside. Over the protest of our local fire department they have established a fire station at the water company's office premises on Anderson Street. Huntington Beach has never had a meeting with, or talked with the Surfside Board of Directors about our mutual problems . They continue to use all the forces they can gather to put 1 Surfside under their control for which we assume are solely their own selfish interests and not those of Surfside. Surfside has, over the years, enjoyed a close association with Seal Beach. Prior to the Navy's 1944 condemnation, a significant sum of Surfside lots were located within that city. Even now, the turn around road at the Colony's west end is within Seal Beach. Our children attend the two schools, many attend their churches, and we use the nearby Seal Beach shopping centers. Should the Colony join Seal Beach, we would be in Mr. Stanley Anderson's First Councilmanic District which includes the older ocean front Seal Beach district, an area which shares many common problems with Surfside, like older buildings, beach erosion, Pacific Electric right of way, and a limited transient population. The future Seal Beach development of the marina and beach on this southside of the Navy property will bring their city services and utilities to the Colony's boundary. When annexation is mentioned, many think this would affect our private community status. This is not true. Seal Beach has another private community within their city limits, Leisure World. They are used to dealing with and understand the pro- blems of a private community. Mayor Lloyd E. Gummere of Seal Beach is a Leisure World resident and is sympathetic to our cause of desiring to maintain a private community. It has been affirmed that should we choose to join Seal Beach, both parties would want Surfside to continue the functions of the Community Service and Storm Water Protection Districts . This guarantees the Colony its indirect income and assures Seal Beach that they would not have to pay for periodic beach fills and maintenance. Any agreement with Seal Beach on annexation must be based on mutual needs . We feel that the most significant Surfside needs requiring detailed mutual agreement of conditions for annexation are: 1. Private Community Status The Colony would continue to exist as a private beach community. Should the 2 Colony negotiate a lease for the adjoining Pacific Electric right of way, that property would be fenced off with the property becoming a leased part of the private Surfside community. 2. Zoning The present lot sizes are sub standard by the county's code definition. All new construction requires a variance of some type. Hence all building within the Colony is subject to the whim of the County Planning Commission. We have been told by the County that they are both unwilling and unable to establish a special zone within the Colony to eliminate the necessity of requiring variances for reasonable construction. Huntington Beach's position on variances and construction are well known. They formally protest all variances within the Colony in their attempt to stop new con- struction within Surfside. Surfside would develop with Seal Beach, a detailed agreement on a special, but reasonable R-1 zoning to allow building in a safe manner while realizing maximum benefit of this very expensive property. This agreement would be along the follow- ing 1 ine s: A. 2 1/2 feet minimum side yards . B. Height limitation of 35 feet or three stories which ever is most restrictive . C. Rear yards of 3 feet where residential properties abut. No rear yard requirements on beach abutments. D. All garages and first living stories of a structure are to be set back 2 1/2 feet from the street line . No set backs required for 2nd and 3rd stories. E. Automobile garages for two vehicles shall be a minimum of 19 feet outside width and 20 feet in length, or two off street parking spaces, 3 one of which shall be covered for each single family dwelling. F. Variance for all multiple family dwelling units (standard provisions) except for 1 and 1/2 off street parking spaces for every dwelling unit. Variance for Post Office , C-2 zoning for service station, restaurant, and water distribution company and interim zone requiring a conditional use permit on the Pacific Electric right of way. G. The City will assist the Corporation in forming, if it so desires, a Water District without any City financial assistance . H. The City will agree to the removal of the County fire protection structural tax. The City will provide police traffic enforcement in the private streets upon request of the property owners as required by law. City will agree to assist in securing clear title to the 10 foot strip as long-as there is no cost to the City. The City will contract, if requested by the Corporation, for the maintenance of private beach area, street sweeping, painting and repair of privately owned streets at whatever is the City's cost. It is understood that the Storm Water Protection District, Sanitation District, and Community Service District will continue in existence and that the streets will remain private streets and the beach a private beach. The City will provide life guard service equal to that provided by the County. 3 . Water The Colony's ultimate desire is to continue receiving soft water from the Surfside Sunset Beach Water Company. The question of possible ownership and future control is now a subject to the execution of an agreement between Huntington Beach, Sunset Beach, and Surfside Colony. Should this work out as planned we would continue to receive our good soft well water. Also, continua- tion of the proposed Seal Beach transmission main to the new Aquatic Park would be extended to the Surfside Colony boundary to give "back up" service in case of well failure . 4 4. Streets All present and future streets within the Colony would continue to be constructed and maintained by Surfside unless Surfside decided to contract for maintenance from the City for which they would pay the City a maintenance fee. 5 . Sewers The area would continue to be served by the local sanitary district, at least until such time as either (a) a main trunk line is constructed through the area to the county sanitation district facilities near Fountain Valley, or (b) a force main is constructed from the area (including Aquatic Park) to the City's facilities. 6. Lifeguard Services Although the beach to the mean high tide line is Colony property, there currently is a strip between the mean high tide line and the actual water line which is publicly owned. In addition there exists the City owned, public beach between the Navy property and Surfside . The public areas are patrolled by a county lifeguard during the summer, and this would become a City responsibility if the area is annexed. 7. Fire Protection Current services are from the county volunteer station in Sunset Beach. Fire protection from the City would come from the downtown station and the station on Bay Boulevard. Seal Beach is currently purchasing in excess of $120,000 of fire fighting equipment and beginning a strong program of employing full- time professional fire fighters . The City is currently graded as a 6A and Surfside Colony is a 9B. We could reasonably anticipate a regrading of this area within the forseeable future and more favorable fire insurance rates if the area annexes to Seal Beach. 8 . Police Protection With an estimated population of 400 or less, and with private streets, the City 5 would not contemplate any additional police personnel, but would handle calls with present forces . This would still be a substantial increase in police service over present services . Currently, one sheriff car serves Sunset Beach - Surfside, Rossmoor, Midway City, and other areas. With the development of the Aquatic Park, additional police supervision will undoubtedly be necessary in that area. As the streets are privately owned, the only traffic citation that can currently be issued is for drunken driving. The City would not be responsible for traffic enforcement unless Surfside petitioned for such services to protect us from illegal parking, speeding, and other similar offenses . 9 . Storm Water District The present Surfside Storm Water Protection District would be continued to handle the periodic beach fills and bulkhead maintenance. Hence this Surfside problem would not be a tax burden on Seal Beach. 10 . Beach Maintenance Surfside could contract with the City to clean and maintain all the beach from waters edge upland to the beach front lots, if it so desires . 11 . Clearing Titles The land bounding both the ocean and upland side of the privately held beach front lots is held by Surfside Colony Ltd. Unfortunately, the Colony's property title allows for ingress and egress by any stockholder at any time on these parcels. Our recently completed survey indicates that in some sections the upland street encroaches on the privately held lots, the houses in turn are displaced an equal amount onto the Colony's ocean front strip. Without exception, the stockholders desire to swap equal areas of street property for equivalent beach area so the title would indicate the true location of the lots and houses . The Board of Directors is empowered to swap land to correct this condition. Unfortunately, even after . a Superior Court order which gave its consent and disclaimer for the relief we sought as the plantiff to remove this cloud on the title, the title insurance 6 companies will not honor this and issue policies of Title Insurance . As some properties are held in estates, trusts, or in process of sale, it's an impossible task to get all stockholders to simultaneously sign for relief from this restric- tion. The City has promised to help Surfside with this problem, although there is no immediate solution at hand. 12. Taxes and Fire Insurance Cost. We have collected the following information concerning taxes, revenue, and fire insurance costs. Assume that all properties to the ocean side of Highway 1 and extending from Seal Beach on the North West to the centerline of Anderson Street to the South East would be annexed to Seal Beach. A. Revenue to Seal Beach Preliminary data concerning assessed valuation at this time indicates a total assessment of approximately $1 ,200,000 at a tax rate of $1 .35/hundred would yield the city $16,200/year and according to Seal Beach state subventions would approximate $5,000/year. Other fees, i.e . , building permits would generally be offset by costs. B. City Costs Beach erosion problems are handled by our own district, and would not be on the general city tax rate . Lifeguard costs: one man, 9 hours per day, for four months would cost about $3,400 for the City. Should they apply the present field strength of the police department per 1,000 population this would be equivalent to one police car spending 1/3 time in this area day and night. They would allocate a police cost of about $5,000. Beach maintenance and clean work would cost the City approxi- mately $4,000 per year. It would appear that out-of-pocket costs to the City therefore, would be approximately $12,400 . C. Costs to Surfside Taxpayers The following table shows the estimated cost effect on Surfside property owners of annexation. The City tax rate of $1 .35 for Seal Beach or $ 1.33 for Huntington Beach would be added to the basic rates which are lower than Surfside for Seal Beach and higher than Surfside for Huntington Beach. Annexation to Seal Beach would result in lower costs to the Colony for beach maintenance, legal fees and fire pro- tection. Annexation to Huntington Beach would result in lower beach maintenance costs, lower fire protection costs, and higher legal fees. The estimated tax rates would be $13.0086 with Huntington Beach, $11 .4511 with Seal Beach as opposed to $10.9399 for this year in Surfside. The decreased fire insurance rates occasioned by annexation would reduce the equivalent rates to $10.9731 with Seal Beach and $12.5306 with Huntington Beach which is $1 .60 higher for Huntington Beach and about 3-1/3� higher with Seal Beach.

Seal Beach Reasons for Considering Annexation Seal Beach's reasons for considering annexation are the following: The basic reason in their estimation is the potential of the area. If land prices have not reached $10 per square foot, they feel that they would do so in time. The price of land will demand that Surfside be a high-value residential community. The costs of services in this type of community are often minimal in comparison to other areas. The people in the Colony are attempting to improve the area and are undertaking the leasing of the adjacent Southern Pacific right of way for parking and beautification, solving, to a major extent, one of the more pressing problems and improving the area. It appears to the City Manager that the annexation need not be an immediate cost to the City; that revenues in general would cover out-of-pocket costs. In the long run, the value of the property will cause exceptionally nice housing to take the place of those dwellings classified as poor or very poor. The area is adjacent to the Aquatic Park and city services rendered in the park area could be reasonably extended to the Surfside Colony. The City is probably the only agency that would be responsive to the Colony's request for zoning com- patible with its wishes . The City is also one of the two agencies that can assist in solving future sewage and possible water needs. We have tried to present a comprehensive and factual analysis of the current annexation situation. We would like to discuss this and answer any questions at the special meeting that has been called.

DESCRIBE HOW YOUR PROPOSAL MEETS THE NEED WHICH YOU HAVE DESCRIBED IN PARAGRAPHS F, 1 and 2 ABOVE. In outlining the needs in Paragraphs F l and 2 above, the proposed method of meeting the needs are also outlined. 4. WHAT ALTERNATIVE COURSES OF ACTION EXIST FOR MEETING THE NEED DESCRIBED ABOVE? DESCRIBE AND EVALUATE: See page 5C. G. WHAT REVENUE WILL YOUR PROPOSAL REQUIRE FOR THE ACCOMPLISH- MENT OF ITS GOALS AND WHAT ARE THE PROSPECTIVE SOURCES OF . SUCH REVENUE? See page 5D. 5. - 1' F. Need for Additional Governmental Services and Controls : General Government: The City of Seal Beach is a chartered city with a five member City Council elected for four year overlapping terms by districts and a council-manager form of government. The 5 member planning commission is appointed for four year overlapping terms by the City Council. The City Hall is less than two road miles from the proposed annexation, thereby being considerably more convenient for residents of the area in handling of local governmental 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 the 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 ,she general public, it is not anticipated that beach crowds l 11 present a problem. By having a police station within two miles, an adequately manned 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. 5a. 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 city' 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 12 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 running 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 fro:ty 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 follows the basic pattern of current services. 5b. 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 Beach. 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 government 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. 5c. 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 $122620 2. Motor Vehicle In Lieu and Gas Taxes 42170 3. Sales Tax .500 4. Business Licenses 75 Total $172290 It is estimated that the city. would expend the following amounts annually: 1. Lifeguard Service $ 32400 2. Police (proration of costs) 5,000 3. Beach Clean Up and Operational Maintenance 53,000 4. General Government 3,000 Total $162050 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. 5d. JUSTIFICATION OF PROPOSAL t c , H.

Any other Comments Which You Wish To Make: 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) .

As residents and property owners of Sunset Beach weu are dedicated to the immediate and long range goals of preserving, improving, and beautifying Sunset Beach. To accomplish these objectives we look forward to devel- oping a mutually desirable and feasible Master Plan with your Planning Commission and other City agencies concerned. The request for annexation is made, of course, with the understanding that a Master Plan acceptable to this com- munity would be developed prior to the annexation election. This Master Plan and new long range Program would be developed for the benefit of our residents, property owners, and business interests, as well as the citizens of Huntington Beach and Orange County. The Orange County Planning Commission currently has under consideration proposals for zoning changes which are unacceptable to' this community. Therefore, we would apprec- iate your consideration and action on this request at the earliest possible date.

C�S„IIhl A. GENERAL 1. TYPE AND DESIGNATION OF PROPOSAL: Annexation of inhabited territory to the City of Seal Beach. 2. STATUTORY PROVISIONS GOVERNING PROCEEDINGS : Annexation Act of 1913-inhabited territory 3. THE REASONS FOR THIS PROPOSAL ARE AS FOLLOWS : Request by property owners and voters within area proposed to be annexed. JUSTIFICATION OF PROPOSAL B. PHYSICAL FEATURES 1. LAND AREA: SQUARE MILES .07 ACRES 44 2. STATE GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF TOPOGRAPHY:Portion of area south of Pacific Coast 'Highway is generally flat, beach area adjacent to Pacific Ocean; area north of Pacific Coast Highway is marsh tidal land. 3.

A portion of the northern boundary is the Pacific Coast Highway. 4. DESCRIBE DRAINAGE BASINS, RIVERS, ' FLOOD CONTROL CHANNEL, ETC. The area north of Pacific Coast Highway is a marsh tidal area adjacent to a water way connecting Anaheim Landing and the proposed aquatic:� park. The area south of Pacific Coast Highway drains generally to the adjacent Pacific Ocean. 5. DESCRIBE MAJOR HIGHWAY ACCESS TO THE AREA: The proposed annexation is served primarily by the Pacific Coast Hiphway (California #l) . C. POPULATION AND RELATED MATTERS. 1. POPULATION IN SUBJECT AREA: Approximately 375 2. POPULATION DENSITY (I.E.

NEED FOR ADDITIONAL GOVERNMENTAL SERVICES OR CONTROLS: 1. DESCRIBE THOSE GOVERNMENTAL SERVICES OR CONTROLS WHICH SHOULD BE PROVIDED WHICH ARE NOW NOT PROVIDED OR WHICH SHOULD BE PROVIDED IN INCREASED AMOUNT IN THE AREA. See page 5A,and 5B. 2. ESTIMATE PROBABLE FUTURE NEED FOR NEW OR INCREASED GOVERNMENTAL SERVICES OR CONTROLS IN THE AREA. It is anticipated that the proposed service levels, co l)arab e to those provided other areas of the city, would be sufficient in the foreseeable future considering the development of the area as an R-1 zoned territory. 3 . DESCRIBE HOW YOUR PROPOSAL MEETS THE NEED .WHICH YOU HAVE DESCRIBED IN PARAGRAPHS F, 1 and 2 ABOVE. In outlining the needs in Paragraphs F land 2 above, the proposed method of meeting the needs are also outlined, 4. WHAT ALTERNATIVE COURSES OF ACTION EXIST FOR MEETING THE NEED DESCRIBED ABOVE? DESCRIBE AND EVALUATE: Seepage 5C. G. WHAT REVENUE WILL YOUR PROPOSAL REQUIRE FOR THE ACCOMPLISH- MENT OF ITS GOALS AND WHAT ARE THE PROSPECTIVE SOURCES OF SUCH REVENUE? See page 5D. F. Need for Additional Governmental Services and Controls : General Government: The City of Seal Beach is a chartered city with a five member City Council elected for four year overlapping terms by districts and a council-manager form of government. The 5 member' planning commission is appointed for four year overlapping terms by the City Council.- The City Hall is less than two road miles from the proposed annexation, thereby being considerably more- convenient for residents of the area in handling of local governmental 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 the 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 the general public, it is not anticipated that beach crowds .will present a problem. By having a police station within two miles, an adequately manned 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. 5a. 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 city'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 12 years and will be the third full time firefighting company. "Second in" response would be provided by a company with full time personnel. The proposed annexation area is within two miles running 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 front, 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 follows the basic pattern of current services. 5b. F. 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 Beach. 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 government 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. 5c. 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 $122620 . 2. Motor Vehicle In Lieu and Gas Taxes 42170 3. Sales Tax _ _ 500* 4. Business Licenses 75 Total $172290 It is estimated that the city_would expend the following amounts annually: 1. Lifeguard Service $ 32400 �. Police (proration of costs) 5,000 3. Beach Clean Up and Operational Maintenance 53,000 .4. General Government 39000 Total $162050 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. 5d. - c JUSTIFICATION OF PROPOSAL H. ESTIMATE TO THE BEST OF YOUR ABILITY THE EFFECT OF THE - PROPOSAL ON: 1.. COST OF GOVERNMENTAL SERVICES AND CONTROLS.See Item G for outline of major costs of required additional govern- mental services and controls . . 2. ADEQUACY OF GOVERNMENTAL SERVICES AND CONTROLS. The annexation would enable the area to receive additional fire and police services which cannot be provided e1,rrPni-1!Z ag unincorporated territor without the creation df expensive- s ecial service districts . The annexation wou d also result n representation at the local governmental level. 3. MUTUAL SOCIAL AND ECONOMIC INTERESTS. The proposed annexation area is within the Seal Beach Elementary School District; the area utilizes the county branch- library-in-the City of Seal Beach. Seal Beach also provides the closest shopping, and business centers to tb4 amilgXation.

Huntington Beach High School Seal Beach Elementary School Orange Coast Junior College Sunset Sanitary District Surfside Colony Community Service District • Surfside Colony Storm Water Protection District 6a. . i . K. Any other Comments Which You Wish To Make: 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. • 1 1 7a. , . JUSTIFICATION OF PROPOSAL M.

SHIPLEY May 10, 1967 Local Agency Formation Commission 515 North-.Sycamore Street Room 501, County Administration Building 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 35014 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 f 1,Commission for that body's approval prior to the filing of the proposed '!annexation with the Local Agency Formation Commission. 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. JAMES R: WHEELER DELBERT G. HIGGINS. DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC WORKS FIRE CHIEF KENNETH A. REYNOLDS FRANK B. ARGUELLO PLANNING DIRECTOR VINCENT G MOORHOUSE FINANCE DIRECTOR LIFEGUARD CHIEF NORM WORTHY JOHN SELTZER RECREATION & OLLIN C CLEVELAND POLICE CHIEF PARKS DIRECTOR BUILDING DIRECTOR ;1 Local Agency Formation Commission May.10, 1967 Page two 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, Surfside's 9-B fire rating is not likely to improve. The Sunset-Surfside area is presently served by.a common water system and a common sewer system,. both 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. The City of Huntington Beach has been furnishing lifeguard.service to the Surfside area for many years under contract with 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.

OR Pool', �V`' City of Huntington Beach �° pQ�y P.O. BOX 190 CALIFORNIA 92648 NTV CP 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 (refer 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 a fire department issue. This poor rating is caused by a substandard water system. The fire rates could immediately be dropped to a 5A 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.

Alternative Courses of ! ction 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-Surfside Study - Technical Reports" the sewer treatment and water service problem are extensive and would be costly to remedy. Trunk sewer and water lines have 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 l ns ne:i-rig near_capaci nd ca s 5- com_ _alaint Item 11, #1 The proposed annexation will create an increase of $1. 2856 per $100 assessed value for the residents of Surfside.

DESCRIBE HOW YOUR PROPOSAL MEETS THE NEED WHICii YGu HAVE DESCRIBED IN PARAGRAPHS F, 1 anc 2 ABOVE-. In outlining the needs in Paragraphs F 1 and 2 above, the proposed method of meeting the needs are also outlined, 4. WHAT ALTERNATIVE COURSES OF ACTION EXIST IOR KE;✓ ING THE NEED DESCRIBED ABOVE? DESCRIBE AND EVALUATE: See page 5C. G. WHAT REVENUE WILL YOUR PROPOSAL REQUIRE FOR THE ACCJ'•:?-i.=:>H- MENT OF ITS GOALS AND WHAT ARE THE PROSPECTIVE SOLRCrS OP SUCH REVENUE? - See page 5D. F. Need for Additional Governmental Serviecs and Controls : General Government: The City of Seal f.A,ach is a chartered city with a five member City Council elLCted for four year overlapping terms by districts and a council-manager fo ni of government. The 5 meriber planning commission is appointed for four year overlapping terms by the City Council. The City Hall is less than two road miles from the proposed annexation, thereby being; considerably more convcnierit for residents of the area in handling of -local bovenuaental matters affecting their area. Many of the problems of the area, particularly in the field of zoning, are si.-nilar 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 the 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. Polio 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 bl the layout of the residential area from extensive use by :.1e general public, it is not anticipated that beach crowds ...11 present a problem. By having a police station within two miles, an adequately ::.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. f 5a. Need for Additional Governmental Services and Controls (cont'd) Police Protection (coast'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 1-1-2 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 running 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 froLz, 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 follows the basic pattern of current services. Sbe 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 Seat leach. A portion of the area is bounded on the north by Seal }leach 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. Ss. G. What Revenue Will Your Proposal Require For The Accomplishment Of Its Goals And What Are The Prospective ' Sources Of Such Revenue: It is estimated that the city would receive the following annual revenues : 1. Property Taxes $1296?0 2. Motor Vehicle In Lieu and Gas Taxes 49170 3. Sales Tax 500 4. Business Licenses 75 Total $17 96 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 3,000 Total $169050 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 Surfeide Storm Water Protection District. 5d. ' JUSTIFICATION OF PROPOSAL r H.

ALTERNATES TO PROVIDING SERVICES OTHER THAN BY INCORPORATION OR FORMATION Ke %ny other Couents Which You Wish To Make ?he 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 convon," but may need the staff assistance of a =micipality 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 getural. 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. Ya. JUSTIFICATION OP PROPOSAL N.

SHIPLEY Members of the City Council City of Huntington Beach Gentlemen: I just received from the Executive Officer of the Local Agency Formation Commission a proposal on the part of. the City of Seal Beach to annex the Surfside Colony, which is directly across Pacific Coast Highway from property presently in the City of Huntington Beach. Attached hereto is a copy of such proposal, together with the memorandum from Mr. Richard T. Turner, Exec- utive Officer of the LAFC. There seems to be a difference of &pinion between var- ious members of the City Staff on whether the City should let".:such annex go through uncontested, or should endeavor to set up a case against this annexation. The hearing on same has been set for May 10, 1967.'
