C. Ideas were presented for use of the one time cell tower $50,000 payment at CLIFFRIDGE PARK. Park and Recreation Department’s Eileen Turk and Sally Gollohon, district manager, gave an overview of what might be possible for this amount of money. Ideas received: 1. Children’s play area. 2. Restroom upgrades and/or remodel. 3. Tennis courts (or handball/backball tennis courts). 4. Quarter-mile running track. 5. Additional picnic table(s) in the grassy area and some attractive trash cans. 6. Better maintenance/maintenance fund. 7. A measured “cross country tack/mini-par course” around a field perimeter. LJ Youth, which leases the park, would like to use the money to upgrade the bathrooms. The LJ Woods Association would like the money used for maintenance first and upgrading the bathrooms second. LJSA will consider and vote on the various proposals in either March or April. Cell tower companies pay a monthly use fee that goes into the San Diego City general fund

F. HILLEL/8976 CLIFFRIDGE AVENUE – Bob Lapidus, Rabbi Lisa Goldstein, and Neil Singer presented Hillel’s application to use this house for offices supporting Hillel activities as allowed in the PDO for religious institutions. Tom Griffen spoke for the neighborhood against allowing any office use in a single family residential area. There were comments to and questions from the large, standing room only audience for Hillel, Tom Griffen’s group, UCSD Planner Milt Phegley and Peter’s Aide Betsy Brennen. Most attendees were against any institutional uses of property in this single family community, including the Hillel Center planned for site 653 next door to the house. Five to seven off street parking spaces will have to be provided in order to use the house for an office. The 10 people allowed at a time on the premises – there are 7 staff members – currently park at UCSD. UCSD does not allow campus parking to be used as a formal mitigation for non-UCSD groups’ parking needs. The La Jolla Shores Permit Review Committee will hear the Hillel office use question on February 24 at 4 pm at the LJ Recreation Center.

I. PUBLIC COMMENT. 1. The CA Coastal Commission meets to vote on the LJ Community Plan on February 19 at 9 am at the Torrey Pines Lodge. La Jollans for Sensible Land Use (an architect/developer/homeowner group) will be lobbying against it.

Meeting adjourned 9:025 pm Ann Heinemann, recording secretary
