MOTION. Passed (19/0
Cohen): Approval of the
April 9 minutes.

month’s 12/1 lifeguard tower design
approval vote: the chair doesn’t vote, Dan Goese had left and abstentions
are not counted according to Robert’s Rules.
3. The By Laws Committee: Chair Gail Forbes,
Dan Courtney and Fran Doolittle, who replaces Pene Bourk.
4. Jane Potter was commended for a great newsletter. It went out to 2,723 Shores residents and cost $1,190 bulk
mail. The LJSA received 13 responses, 8
of whom sent a total of $370.
5. The Laureate/Mata Park pump
station replacement project is temporarily on
hold because the contractor is bankrupt.
6.
A fire department survey was
sent to LJSA members to fill out.
7. YMCA: The swimming pool and gym heights
were lowered from 30 feet to 22 on the YMCA proposed remodel plan – 8 feet will
be underground. Other areas are taller
and may be as high as 30 feet. It was
suggested that the plan presentation to the LJ Shores Advisory Board be
postponed from the scheduled June 17 meeting until a summer traffic report is
made. Also suggested: Another Y presentation to the LJSA board and/or
another public meeting, possibly sponsored by Councilman Scott Peters. Many board members would like the Y traffic
issues to be presented by the LJ Traffic and Transportation Board before being
heard by the LJ Shores Permit Review Committee.
8.
Site 653: Hillel posted a Notice of Application
for a building permit on 5/12.
9.
Susan suggested
that members and attendees bring sandwiches to the
June 11 meeting at 6 pm to watch the sunset and get to
know each other better.
10.
LJSA representatives to the LJ Traffic and Transportation
Committee (T&T) are required to reflect the LJSA position when voting on
issues before the Committee.
Representatives will use their own judgement If no position has been
taken by LJSA on an issue.
11.
June 5: the next LJ Community
Planning Association (CPA) meeting.
B. TREASURER – Marvin Cohen: April 30 balance
$3,746.65.
C. Audrey Keene asked for a 4-way stop at Vallecitos and El Paseo
Grande because El Paseo Grande becomes very
hazardous as traffic diverts there when LJ Shores gets congested. MOTION. Passed (10/0 Cohen): LJSA supports a 4 way stop at El Paseo
Grande and Vallecitos.
D. LJSA received a letter and petition signed
by 26 area residents requesting a
sidewalk on Calle del Oro.
The immediate neighbors are against this and the city has no money for
the project. MOTION.
Defeated (5/6
Coakley). LJSA supports a sidewalk on the south
side of Calle del Oro if it utilizes the existing roadway. MOTION. Passed (7/2
Heinemann). LJSA
will write a letter to the city supporting the installation of a
sidewalk on the south side of Calle del Oro.
E. LJ SHORES
PLANNED DISTRICT ORDINANCE (PDO).
MOTION.
Passed (9/1
Coakley). LJSA has decided to retain the entire
LJ Shores PDO and amend it immediately.
There was a lengthy discussion before the vote which included the
suggestion that LJSA find out why we cannot simply amend the PDO with the addition
of things like a floor area ratio (FAR).
F. LJ SHORES LIFEGUARD REPLACEMENT TOWER. The original budget
was
increased from the original $1.2 million by $550,000. Many board
members did not see the relevance of cost to the City’s request for LJSA to
review the Life- guard tower art and design. The Tower Subcommittee will decide
if any further discussion is necessary.
F. PUBLIC COMMENT. Sherry Lightner: Councilman Peters said he
supported the LJ Community Plan at the last T/T Committee meeting.
Meeting adjourned 9:02 pm Ann Heinemann, recording secretary
