The strength and capability of the buyer_ is 11 beyond airy question or dispute . 12 Since the sale on January 26 , 1978 the buyer has peen 13 negotiat.i.nq with the Oi.ty of Huntington Beach to obtain the 14 City ' s consent to the assignment of the leasehold estate . As a 15 condition granting the consent to the assignment , the City 16 initially imposed conditions in four aroas . First, the City 17 insisted upon $150 , 000 .in cash being placed in the accounts of 18 the assignee to assure adequate operating funds . The buyer has 19 not objected to this. 20 Secondly, the C! `.v insisted upon a cash deposit in the 91 amount of $700 , 000 to be used to pay the actual expenses of �^2 necessary repairs and renovations on the property. The buyer has 23 agreed that substantial renovations and repairs are necessary but 24 has questioned the cost estimated by the City. The buyer has not I 25 objEr-ted to making a cash deposit in an appropriate amount out of 26 which Hie costs of the repairs and renovations would be made. 27 This item is riot subject to litigation at this time . . 2e w 3 w l Third, the Citj has demanded a transfer fee of $35, 000. 2 The buyer has objected to this requirement and points to the fact 3 the lease has no provision empowering the City to assess a tranafe 4 fee,. 5 The foi:r.th condition insisted upon by the City is that a 6 limit be placed upon the encumbrances which iright he placed upon 7 the leasehold estate . It should be noted that there is no request 6 that the City subordinate its position as lessor to the encum- 9 brances to be placed upon the property by the buyer . Instead such 10 encumbrances will encumber only Lhr lessee ' s interest in the 11 property. The City insists that the encumbrances not exceed 3,2 $21100, 000. Deducting the second trust deed to be carried by the 13 debtor estate , the first dc-ed of trust would thereby be limited 14 to $3 , 450 , 000 . 15 The buyer hits been negotiating for a loan secured by a 16 deed of trust i?pon the le-rischold estate , and has madti tentative 17 arrangements for a loan of nearly 3 million dollars from Security 18 Pacific National Bank , one of the largest banking institutions in 19 the United States . No loan committment has yet been made, but 20 there appears to be reasonable prospects of thu obtaining of such 21 a loan. 22 We are not concerned at thI s time with the issue of 23 whether the City may now terminate the lease . That * issue is the 24 subject of a hearing scheduled in court: In the near future . 25 We are now concerned only with whether the debtor now owns 26 the leasehold estate and whether the City may imrose conditions 27 upo1: its consent to the assignment of the lease, or whether, on 28 the contraryt the debtor and receiver can pass full, free and 4 - 1 clear tittle to a buyer of the leasehold e:;tate without the ttecess-- 2 ity of consent of the lessor . 3 The various interested parties have stipulated that this 4 maZtt.er should be brought on for hearing upon a notice of motion. 5 in regard to the sate order. The parties have stipulated that the 6 matter might be heard on short-nnmd notice . At the hearing of the 7 motion both parties submitted evidence and argument . 8 We start with 574b of the Rankrupt:cy Act which reads , "A 9 general covenant or condition in a le;tse that it shall not be 10 assigned shall not be construed to prevent the trustee from assum- 11 ,ing the same at his election and subseq antly assigning the same; 12 but an express covenant that an assignment by operation of law or 13 the bankruptcy of a specified party thereto or of either party 14 shall terminate the lease or gave the other party an election to 15 terminate the sane is enforceable . " 15 The lease in question reads .in Paragraph XII, "Neither this 17 lease nor any .interest therein , whether legal or equitable, shall 18 be assigned or sublet, in whole (sic) or alienated, pledged , 19 :•iortgaged or hypothecated voluntarily or by operation of law, 20 without the prior written consent of the lessor (except as provided 21 in Paragraph No. XITI) ; If the lessee, without securing 22 prior written approval of the lessor, attempts to effect such a 23 transfer, assignment, sublease, mortgage, or hypothecation , or 24 ea isfex occurs by operation of law, . . . or if the lessee is 25 adju, d bankrupt or insolve► by any court or- upon the lessee's 26 risking an assignment for the benefit of creditors , the lessor may, 27 at its option forthwith terminate this lease upon written notice 28 thereof to the lessee and thereupon the lessee shall have no S I furtht r rights of nundor. 2 The United States Supreme Court in Finn vs. Meighan, 3 325 U. S. 300 recognized the validity of such a termination clause 4 under some circumstances . Then in Smith vs . Hoboken , R.R. Ware-- 5 house, etc. , 328 U, S. 123 the Court declined to permit a forfeiture 6 of the debtor 's lease where such a forfeiture would have prevented 7 the possibility of railroad organization . 8 Three circuit courts of appeal have ruled in three different 9 `` Chapter. X cases that: it was appropriate to decline forfeiture of 10 thn lease despite debtor ' s breach where the reorganization would 31 be totally impossible if a forfeiture were allowed . See In Re 12 Fleetwood Motel Corporation 1, 3rd Cir. 1954 ) , 335 F.2d 857; Weaver 13 vs . Hutson (4th CA 1972) 459 F. 2d 741 , cert . denied. 409 U.S . 957; 14 In Re Fontaine Bleau hotel Corp . (51L--h CA 1975) 515 F. 2d 513 . 15 Then it Queens Boulevard Wine & Liquor Corp. vs. Blum 16 (2rid CA 1974 ) 503 , F. 2d 202 , iii a Chapter XI case the 2nd Circuit 17 stated, "In determining whether to enforce the lease germination 18 here, therefore , we must consider not only the interest of the 19 , landlord but also of the debtor and its creditors . Possession by 20 Queens will not prejudice Carol , which is protected by a sizeable 23. security deposit,, except to deny it a windfall in the form of 22 increased rent to which we hold it is not equitably entitled. 23 Enforcement of the forfei.tu-re, on the other hand, would destroy 24 a now profitable debtor by depriving it of its most valuable 25 � asset -- its location. It would also needlessly injure trade 26 creditors and those outside investors who have furnished capital 27 which has resulted in Queens ' rehabilitation . In our view, these 28 individuals stand on no less significant a footing than did the 6 1 sharehn1ders of to debtors in Weaver and '"kletwood. " The Second 2 Circuit then Iist.inguished the Heighan c:s:;e by otati.ng, "In nona Of th(Ise cases would forfeiture hive ' t11er. .iousl irr . a i red ' Y P , let 4 alone totally frustrated, an arran(jement by del")riving the debtor 5 of an asset absolutely necn-ssary to its continued viability. " 6 In this case we )s.-)ve a landlord with a substantial pro- 7 vision in its lease walling fo:: forfeiture. Arrayed against the 8 landlord 's pos i.t: ion are the Interests of the debtor and its 9 creditors. The landlord seek!; ,n unmitigated windfall that is , 10 cancellation of the Lease and the consequent securing of title 11 ar..d ownership of the 239 unit mobile hone park , the motel buildings 12 with some 144 rooms together with the cocktail, bars, restaurants 13 and baiiquer faci -1tles, as well as the service station including 14 all the in-orovcments plt-,ced upn►; the leasehold estate by the 15 lessees . 4n the other hand the debtor has obtained it buyer whose 15 price will not only pay the first and second dead of trust in 17 fell , but will also pay in full all of the unsecured creditors, 18 whose claims as above-mentioned total nearly $600, 000, and will 19 also return to the debtor., cash and a second deed of trust note 20 of nearly $1 , 000 , 000 , le; s, the expenses of administration . 21 The equities are so overwhelmillgly in favor of the debtor 22 and its many creditors, and :;o st rongly against the City in its 23 seeking a forfeiture of assets of such tremendous value , that this 24 court must decline to allow the forfeiture . To allow a forfeiture 25 would be completely unconscionable . If the debtor is stripped of 25 its leasehold estate , it has no assets remaining other than liquor 27 licenses and inventory of nominal value, and all hopes of a 28 reorganization must necessarily fail . The assets remaining Mould 7 - I not be sufficieo to pay priority claims , Od general creditors 2 would receive nothing . 3 See also the decision of Judge Peirson M. }Iall in In re 4 Aurke , 76 F. Supp . 5 (1948) . It is also unnecessary to recite the 5 various facts pointing towards waiver by the city of its rights 6 to declare a forfeiture bared upon acceptance of rentals for some 7 two years from the receiver. 8 It should also be noted that the; lease Provision regarding 9 consent to assignment is two-Pronged . The first portion is a 10 p7ohibition of assignment: without consent of the lessor. The 11 second portion givos the Lessor an option to terminate upon 12 written notice in case of an assignment or transfer without: the 13 lessor 's consent . These two provisions are not self-executing . 14 No consent of this court to termination has been obtained . 15 I therefore conclude that the leasehold estate is an asset 16 awned by the receiver and the debtor. This decision relates only 17 to the question of whether the lease has heretofore been lost . 18 Reserved for decision after future hearing is the question of 19 whether the Ci try should be permi L- ted to exercise the option set: 20 forth in the lease to terminate for various alleged breaches . No 21 opinion is expressed upon that issue . 22 The next step is , what can the debtor and the receiver do 23 with this asset? May they only use it in the operation of the 24 business , or may the sell and transfer the asset to thy: highe nt 25 bidder at a court sale? The cases cited above, Smith vs . Hoboken , 26 In re Fleetwood Motel Corporation , Weaver vs. Hutson , In re 27 Fountainbleau hotel Corp. , and Queens Boulevard all dealt with 28 situations where the debtor wished to continue to use the lease- -- 8 - 1 hold estate In OP operation of the d( bto.re business . Denial 2 of the forfeiture arguments of the lr-ssors allowed each debtor 3 to continue in possession of the estate and to use the 41 same in operation of its business . 5 In this case the debtor wants somel:hi.ng a bit different , 6 not the right to continue to Ilse , but the power to sell and 7 convey the asset to a buyer without the consent of the lessor . B The City asserts that state la" In California permits a landlord to arbitrarily refuse con)rnt to the consignment or to 10 .impose conditions to the assignment . Richard vs . Degen Brody, 11 Inc . , 181 C.A. 2d 269, quotes from Corpus Juris Secundum as 12 follows : 13 "However where a subletting or assign- ment of the leased premises without the 14 consent of the lessor is prohibited , he may withhold his assent arbitrarily and without: 15 regard to the quallficati.ons of the proposed 16 assignee , unless . . . the lease provides that the consent shall not be arbitrarily 17 or unreasonably withheld, and in granting his assent may impose such conditions as he sees fit. Accordingly, if the right. to 18 assign or sublet is restricted by statute 19 or by the terms of the lease and the lessox does not covenant to give his consent to an 20 assignment or subletting , the lessee has no remedy against the lessor for his refusal to 22. consent thereto . " 22 However, in a bankruptcy context the state law is not 23 permitted to apply . As early as 1908 the Supreme Court ruled in 24 Gazlay vs. Williams , 210 U . S . 41 that a sale of a leasehold I 25 estate by the trustee in bankruptcy of the lessee was not a breach 26 of the covenant contained in the lease prohibiting assigning or 27 subletting without the written consent of the lessor. 28 /f/ The cour t1Wrr! exhlainc&d, "All th4has followed upon his . 2 bankruptcy is not by hi % act:, lout by operation of law transferring 3 his property to #_ a3siynecn. Then shall the (assignees have 4 capacity to take .it, 'and yet not dispose of it? Shall they take 5 it only for thci_r own benefit, or be oblicged to retain it in their & hands to the prejudice of the creditors, for whcae benefit the 7 law originally cjjst it upon them? Undoubtedly that can never be. " 8 1'0 the same effect are zn re Gutman , 197 F. 472 , and 9 Matter. of Prudential Lithograph Company , Inc. , 265 F. 869 and 20 270 F. 469 . 11 Section 70b of the Bankruptcy Act as amended in 1938 states 1?, in part , "A general covenant or condition in a lease that it shall. 13 not be assigned shall not be construed to Prevent the trustee from 14 assuming the same at his election and se sub ucntl� ��� � s s:_92_ t he 15 siame . " I take it that. the addition of this portion of subdivision 16 b of Section 70 In 1938 was merely cleclaratory of existing law. 17 Here we have no trustee in this Chapter- XI case, but the debtor 18 and the receiver have the same rights and 9 pokers ,pursuant to 19 Section 302 . 20 I therefore hold that -the provisions in the lease relating g to the requirement of consent of the lessor to any assignment do 22 not apply in a bankruptcy situation . It therefore follows that 23 the debtor and the receiver may be authorized by this court to 24 Sell and assign the leasehold estate without the consent of the 25 lessor being required, and the buyer-assignee will acquire full 26 title to the, leasehold estate without the necessity of consent of 27 the lessor. 28 ll/ - 10 - ' R• 1 It 31So { 'ol lown that the City may 't .impose condI Lions to the granting of consent: . It is un,,tece:;Jary to decide whether the 3 canditions sought to be imposed by t;�e City are arbitrary or 4 unreasonable . 5 The City also challenges the J% risdi.ction of this court to 6 determine the rights of the parties against the City. This point: 7 also was decided adverse to the City by the case of Gazlay vs. 8 Williams, supra , and the inany cases folJowi.ng it . 9 This memorandum of opinion shall constitute findings of 10 fact and conclusions of law pursuant to FRCP 52a . Counsel for 11 the debtor and coursnl for the receiver may jointly prepare an 12 appropriate order modifying the order confirming sale to set 13 forth the determination of the buyers ' rights as set forth herein 14 and to limit the powers of the lessor wi't•h respect: to its consent 151 to the assignment by the debtor and receiver. 16 17 DATED: May 19 , 1978 18 19 AAKON tELPS 20 BANKRUPTCY JUDGE 21 22 23 24 25 26 J 27 22 ]1 I. litin ton Beach Cora a, ) s P �, 11110 wua oTarflt.HUNTIMOTONq WAan.CALIVO11 ^t CEi'It1O tTaaf Matorft Y CLLAK Ct1Y Of HuNTINmu PrAC11, CA, l' December ?.6, 1978 EC .1 4: is , , , APPEAL-TENTATIVE PARCEL MAP NO. 78-37 Beach City Council 2000 Main Street Huntington Beach, Co. 92648 Attention: Ms. Alicia Wentworth City Clerk Honorable Mayor and Council Members : We hereby appeal the, Planning Commission' s December 12, 1978 approval of Tentative Parcel Map No. 78-37, a division of 300 acres of land Into four (4) parcels.

StAff hae not canpleted work re to all the issues . lated Al.sc, enclosed in correspondence related to the area . JC: -b January 15 , 1980 SEACLIFF AREA STUDY INFOPAATION OUTLINE I) OIL USES A) Much of the land near the proposed Seacliff IV is used for oil. rulated facilit:les : 1) The strip of land Lvtween Goldenwest and the City limits and between PCH and a parallel line extending northwest firm Olive , in intensively used by Mi.noil for oil extraction and treatment facilities . 2) Within the proposed Seacliff Iv Fite, Chevron will consolidate:+ its ail equ. parent into 2 or 3 "islands . " 3) Between the Seacliff alto and Goldenwes t, Chevron has offices, warehouses, wells, pipelines and other equipment. 4) Tho land between Seacliff and the City has few surface facilities but there are underground pipes . 5) Aminoil operates a gat plant northeast of the Seacliff rite . e) Most of these facilities will be long-lived. 1) The Atrinoil lease and Chevron islands will be in use For about 15-20 years at least. 2) Chevron 's warehouses and offices could be moved and thin area redeveloped to new or "mixed" uses, but there are no plans fox such uses . C) These oil Activities may constrain new user in the area . 1) The oil equipment in botch the Aminoil strip and the islands should be screened from any new uses by walls , berms , fences, vegetation, or other means . 2) Through buffering or other mitigation measures, new uses should be protected from noisss or odors ormamting from the oil activities. 3) suffering (and other techniques like dikes and walls) must ensure that leaky, ■pills or fires do not Jogmrdi:e nearby 'l "N. Seacliff Arta Study Information outline January 15 , 1980 Page 2 4) Plans for "dual uses" (oil mixed with residences, for exasPlee) r n this area must include access for adequate Fire-fighting equipment near oil wells and tanks. 5) Plans for dual uses must also include access for pulling unit;_ and well-service crown . 6) Plans for dual uses must allow oil companies to lay new Pipelines and rework existing ones with a minimum of disruption to other uses ( like residences and their yards) 7) New technology which allows further extraction of old fields is being investigated. New develnpment on old oil fields should include some access to the underground field ao that extraction of these resources can occur with- out disruptions to the other uses . I r) H. "ITAT AREAS A) The Coastal Act placeo high priority on buffering wildlife habitat areas. B) The County has not yet designated a plan for *lei Bolza Chica. 1) Until the County places definitive uses on the area, the City should assume the most restrictive deisi gnation for the area adjacent to the City coastal zone I3oundary:wildlife habitat. 7) The bluffs to the east of the city boundary should be planned for uses corn latible with the wildlife thabitatt. C) There may be some conflicts in policies between the linear regional park and the concept of bufferinn the 13018a Chica . 1) Active recreal:ion uses may adversely impact natural habitat areas . 2) The transportation system, especially highways, isay bring adverse environmental impacts and over-capacity usages . 3) However, if buffering places the linear park away from the bluff edges, -the opportunity for recreation experience■ by viewing the salsa Chica from the bluff edge will be reduced or eliminated. Seacliff Area Study Info mti,on Outline January 15 , 1980 Page 3 III) PUHLIC FACILITIES A) Sewage 1) The Lowery Sawes Study indicates the orange -- 22nd Street Trunk line, which serves the existing Seaclift development is over capacity. Any additional development resulting from Seacliff IV would have to provide for improved capacity. 2) The Leery Study states that the Ocean Avenue trunk lice , which serves thu greater downtown area and the existing 8e4eliff development is currently over capacity between 2nd and 7th . Development occuri.ng between now and the time Reach 3 of the Coastal Trunk is completed (expected within 3 to 5 years) will further overburden the system. e) Drainage 1) The Ring & Assoc. drainage study states that the drainage system (which flown into the Bolsa Chica) adequately drains the existing development area. 2) A major concern is the quality and quantity of water that will drein into the Bolsa Chic& if further residential deve,lopaaent occurs and the question of whether the drainage should by-pass the Bolsa and channel directly to the ocean . C) Circulation 1) The existing circulation system is Inadequate to serve additional residential development. 2) The alignment and termination of 38th Street will impact the configuration of the linear regional park and access to Pacific Coast Highway. 3) The extension of 38th through the oil production area, may be constrained by existing oil extraction activities 4) The extension of Bolsa Chic& Street as a< maj,)r arterial across the northern portion of the Bolsa Chica is indicated on the City ' s Master Plan. This is intended to pornit recreation and residential traffic to and from PCH. Seacliff Area Study ' information Outline , January 15, 1910 Page 4 a) There has been some question on the Coastal Coumdasion level as to whether this extension is consistent with poosible wetland designation of Dols& Chic&. b) If the entention is prohibited by the Coastal Coemaission, or restricted to two lanes, traffic on 38th Street will increase. IV) LAND USES M Land Uses Are Constrained By: 1) Circulation - cownrcial and very high density residential mould be limited by the lack of major arterials . Z) Bluff erosion and land subsidence. 3) Low and moderate incoe►e housing needs . 4) oil production activity - noise, odor, fire, etc. 5) Setback requirements for habitat areas and the linear park. 6) Coastal Act priorities. 7) Public facilities capacities - different land uses haie different sewerage generation factors, i .e . residential has less sewage need than commercial . 8) Views to and from the bluffs and the affect of setbacks. � POLICY IMPLICATIONS* The proceed i-rig outline indicates a number of policy considerations the Committee may want to address. These include : I) HABITAT AREAS A) Address proteetAon of Adjacent w..ldlife areas. 8) Establish bluff setback width C) Designate the love: of desired recreation activity, i .e . actilie vs . passive . 0) Provide for the linear regional park and/or additional butter areas . 6) Designate the location of the park and uses within the relation to the Muff II) PUBLIC FACILITIES A) Sewage and Drainage 1) Establish prioritisa for development within the coastal :one where there is eoapetition for aeaeye 'capacity. 2) Address the impact of run-off from residential developw,'t on the Dols Chica, i .e . shou.; d drainage throuSh the area be perni t to d. B) Circulation 1) Establish a po)sition regarding the level and type of access to the coast . a) Vehicular pis . mass transit emphasis . b) Recreation vs . ccwmuter trips. 2) Designate nmber and location of lateral access to PCH . 3) . ftsolve conflict (re: Dols& Street extention) between proviaion of increased access to the linear perk and PCH and the protection of wetlands . "Energy policeas will be included in the energy section of the elestent.

You liave requested the LCP-CAC ' s position and the official city position relative to several points raised in the communication . As you know , the City Council approved the proposed project earlier this year , finding it in conformance with the general and specific plans of the city. The LCP-CAC has also reviewed the project in relation to their effort in recommending an LCP plan to the City Council . The respective positions are as follows : 1 . How will the approval of a coastal permit at this time be prejudicial to the city' s local coastal program? City Position - The City Council did not take a position on t is issue In approving the project . Determination of a project 's prejudicial potential to the LCP is a finding the . Coastal Commission must make in accordance with the California Coastal Act of 1976. LCP-CAC Position - The LCP-CAC took no riosition . Generally , the LCP--CAC -eeTs that no position can be taken on u sp) cific development project until policies are established in the, LCP process . 2 . What are the respective positions toward the off-site land proposed by the applicant for affordable housing? The Holly Avenue project proposal has not been submitted to the city; therefore, the city hat no position on the project except to confirm that a Goneral Plan amendment And rezoning Mould be required. talrp�+�r r��♦15.�6f�'Ill Mr . 1►oii wi 1 s u►i , chairman Oc LIII)C r I I , I )► 9 SU1 T11 COAST IM6, IUNAL COMMISSION 11age 2 Ito : Ile rmi. t No , 79- 5340 , SeacIiff , miasc IV 'rho provision of nffordaulc housing is cncoul-aged by the existing (lousing Element of the, general Plan and further encouraged by programs or the August , 1979 Draft 1lousiiil; Element . The policies of the Coastal Element will encourage the provision of facilities and housing to provide equitable access to coastal resources . However , housing provision in the coastal zone has lower priority than coastal -dependent uses and recreation and visitor- serving facilities , or even energy uses . 3. Why did the city delete eight conditions of approval for the pru j ect? The City Council has ultimate authority to condition projects at the appellate, level . In cases oC appeal , such as occurred on the Seacliff, Phase IV Project , the appealed conditions of approval proposed by the Planning Commission may be amended or deleted by the City Council , 'here were no entitlements , nor any conditions of approval until the City Council acted on the appeals . The City Council , upon review of the proposed project , concurred with sixty (60) conditions of approval to the various entitlements fGr the project , The conditions of approval were the result of a comprehensive . PP P review of the proposed project , and its impact upon the surrounding environment . I have attached a copy of the conditions for your perusal . 4 . The Commission requested that the information they have asked will be available to any member of the public . It is my understanding that if the city replies to the Commission by October 12 , 1979 , or soon thereafter , that the information I have provided you will be included in the Coastal Commission Staff Report . Please let me know if I am in error on this matter , If I may be of any further assistance , please do not hesitate to contact me. Sincerely , 00, 00Y. __44_X�l dOY 0 CityMJ;r. i l PGd :TJM: skd Mr .

At this time, and to complete your files in this matter, I as also forwarding letters I have tiled previously with the South Coast Regional Commission relative to my contention that the project should not have been considered, much less ruled upon, by that body inasmuch as there is, I feel, a cloud over the project as reported out by the City Council of the City of Huntington Beach. The further attached letters, etc. , between myself and both the Orange County biutrict Attorney and our State Attorney General detail the foregoing. All of this is a matter of public record on file with the City Clerk of the City of Huntington Beach. Those records are referenced herein and elsewhere as file 11121 - Seacliff Phase IV' , and by reference are made a part hereof. I woula hope that your Commission would finally take a necessary lone, hard look at this project . Thus far I fees that fav tor, many decisions have been made; purely for political reasons. For example, a portion of the Regional Commisuion ' s October 22 packet contains references to the City of Huntington Beach having addreused locational concerns regarding low-cost housing. The tone of this reference would make one feel the City Council had given its approval of the proposed off-site and outside the Coastal lone location of the applicantb low-cost ho•ising requirement . At this time, to the best of my knowledue, few, if any, of the Councilmen or Councilwoman are even aware of this, much less having had the opportunity to discuss or rule on same. This is but once example:. While I cannot be certain of who will appeal, or how many requests you' ll receive, I feel sure that most will find it are extreme hardship to attend meetings In I,os Anf;eles and/or San Francisco. It 's difficult enpugh to attend daytime meetings in Kuntingtor. Reach especially When cne can never be certainwhen the matter will be discussed. However, I respectfully request that the Commission consider holding its heaurings (if' any) in Eiuntingtou Peach. C?nly by doinC so can you svail yot.rae:lvas of the total input available here. Please accept my fondest thanks ror your consideration of this appeal on rzy part. T will await your decision in the tatter. fondest regards, S. Schumacher cc: Huntington Beach Co.

Commission' s copy of my Letter of June 11 , 19799 to Mr. Willian Evans, Asst. District Attorney, County of Orange, regarding alledged illegal action taken by the Huntington Beach City Council' s Majority in conditioning Sencliff Phase IV long after their jt;risdiction had passed under provisions of the so-called Subdivision Map Act . The particular action dealt with the deletion of the priviously proposed 38th Street between the project area and the intersection of Garfield and Edwards in Huntington Reach. At this time x am attaching a copy of cry letter of September 13, 1979, to our Attorney General, Hon. George Deukmejian, along with the therein referred to cony of the august 1 , 19799 reply to my above-mentioned letter as authored by Asst . District Attorney Douglas H. Woodsmall . With that letter, Mr. 1i'oodamall declines prosecution as the action as taken by the Council majority is not "criminal" in nature, leaving me little choi!iq but either to take civil action, or Pass the matter over to the Attorney General. The purpose of this letter is to update your file in the matter as much as possible. It is still my contention that it would be impossible for the Commission to accept the project as forwarded from the City of Huntington Beach as it may well be that the City' s own actions may be reversed if the Council ' s actions are ruled to have been illegal . Thus, the Coastal Commission may well not knew ;ust exactly what it is being asked to review and/or pass. Should you feel any need to discuss th •, I can be reached at my office in Huntington Beach at 847-7728 or ?1 �;!5�2-5888. Kindest regards, u. W. Schumacher Encl. Ss; a S. W.

George Deukmejian Attorney General State of Callrorr,ia 555 CaPitol Mall Sacramento, CA 95614 Dear Sir: For your ready reference, attached hereto is a copy of my letter of June 1 1 , 19799 to Mr. ''William Evans, Asst . District Attorney for the County of Orange, Calilornia. I have previously forwarded your office a copy of that same letter. Next attached is a ropy of a letter dated August 1 , 1979, from a Mr. Douglas H. Woodsmall, Deputy District Attorney, declining to prosecute alledged violations of the so-called Subdivision Map Act as, to quote the letter, "lnsamuch as the office of the District Attorney only prosecutes violations :f law which are criminal in nature, we must decline prosecution of your reported complaint." If it is true that his office can ' t prosecute non"criminal" acts, then your office appears to be the last resort, so to speak, short of civil action I ' m sure I could take, but am equally sure I should not have to take . Regardless of any views I might have on development in Eiunt.�ngton Beach , or anywherr.• else, it appears there is a dangerous precedent being set hero, in apparent bold and open contempt of the legally established procedures within the Map Act itself. If your office is sworn to uphold the State 's codes, then I feel you have little choice but to prosecute ecpacially inar.much as all facts involved in the matter are part of tLe public record. If equal. Justice under the law is a factual concept, certainly equal injust can occur and the next time it could well be a developer catching the brunt of such a misdeed &s appears to have been perpetrated by the Huntington Reach City Council ' s majority. The development involved, Seacliff Phase IV, is new before the South Coast Regional Comm. of t;tie California Coastal Coamiusion, as reported out of the N. D . City Council following the alledged Man Act violation. Therefore, I respectfully request that you avail yourself of tine facts in this matter. Regardless of the City Attorney ' & opinion that this alledged irisdeed %, as legal , the record will she.,, that there was so very u,uch alternative cpin:.on within the Council ' s own ranks certainly to have made the seeking of an outside opinion viable. That alternative opinion dealt chic-fly with the Map Act. not with the action at hand, and, thus, the action appears to have been taken wi.tli knowledge of and at variance with the law, Your early reply to this letter will certain%, be appreciated. If there is some other form this complaint should take, please advise or forward any forms you might reel ere called for . There is a nolid opportunity for your office to act in thiu matter. 11111thout such action, it is my firm belief the law will take on little more significance than a parking, meter violation. While there seem to be r:letanty of poople available to police parkine Metar violations, so far it seems; that thin farther- reaching Act is boing administered Lu inure to the convenience and comfort of a development interest with no concern whatsoever for the impact of either the violation or three affected by it. ,;itidesc regords, w OWCE OF ECrOrARD J.

Box 1450 Long Beach, CA 90801 Gentlemen: Enclosed herewith please find copy of my .letter of this date to Mr. Cecil Hicks, District Attorney for tile~ County of grange, California. That letter is and contains my formal request for prosecution and/or reversal of a decision made by the City Council of the City of Huntington Beach to remove a previously imposed condition in order to allow a local developer to move forward with a residential development known as Sencliff Phase IV. That decision by the Council appears to have been made in contravention with our state ' s Subdivision Act, and I hold that if that a a the case, the project before your Commission is inccrrect at best . Therefore, it is also cry pool t;.or; tiia t for the ComMi;cion to enter hearinCs on the project at this time, until such time as thc: legality of the foregoing can be determiried and/or action can be takon, would constitute a complete and utter waute of the Commission' s t:i.me and our tax dollars. Certainly, I cannot Hnd would not try to upeak for our District Attorney and his staff. However, should his office decide not to prosecute for any reant)n, 1 do intend to forwr,rd this informotion to the next highest level, our Attorney General . As mentioned in the attached, all of this it a matter of public record now on file, with the City C erls of the City of Huntstlgton Beach . I have gained her permission to reference her filet in the natter rather than forwarding voluminoua materials to the acencie,.

Very truly yours , GAIL HUTTON City Attorney OH:ahb Eno. April 24, 1979 Members, Council This will constitute a short report on some intended action I intend to take as an individual, action for which I do not request the support of H.O.M.E. Council or the Itunti.ngton Seacliff Homoowners Association eventhough it deals with Seaclif! Phase IV. That Seecliff Phase IV has been conditioned thoroughly and thus approved by the Planning Commission, is fairly common knowledge. It seers also fairly well-known that the City Council changed the Planning Commission 's rulings more than significantly. While I'm not comfortable with the lack of conditions doruanded by the Council, I have no quarell on tho surface surface wit: them In that they were achieved within the "system" -- they were duly voted upon and passed following the Council ' s own public hear.ing. Under certain proviFione of the California Government Code, mr1rp particularly the zo-call:d "Subdivision leap Act", once the Council had conditioned the project, it still had one last opportunity to change any or all provisions of its actions provided the subject were brought back Lafure the Council at its next regular. meeting. This wan riot done. Thus, under thew Act, the method for the developer to follow to effect any further chaagec was re-aubmiesion to the Planning Commission. However, the Council chose to deal further with the natter, and to delete certain of its own previously-imposed conditions well after its Jurisdiction had ceased. Iiaving heard that this was "in the wind", I contacted the Office of the Dietrict attorney and found that provided the Council had been forwarned that their actions :night well be illegal, bringing the project back would be. a violation. The particular section of thu Code which pertains to this; slur-:; not carry any sanctions, however. but , inasmuch as it is what is ru forrud to as an Fadhereance unction, violation doer constitute mi::coriducL - n office, It is this I intend to pursue with the Attorney General ' u W't'ice in ";acramento as well as our own District Attorney, The Counci ' can lean heavily on the opinion of the City Attorney in ti,il; CaLL, :n opinion which I have not swan, but which reportedly ;;ci�l,;urCG tl,r; Counc:i.i ' s action, and is suppoced to be woll-documented. It is way fouling, l-owever, that therie other tax-supportud offices should have; a finial say in nuch matter; Lis this, or clue either the inuti.tutioia; or the laves detilgned tc protect citizens are a mere shot. iLile I ' ve. left out many details irvulving this isaue, I feel thut this Beale with thu cttu::tion fairly at this poir_t, and I ' ll koup you posted a : things buCiri to develop.
