Ventura Board Votes to Put Cabrillo Port on Stricter Smog Diet
Panel’s Unanimous Action Could Make It More Difficult for Project to Meet Requirements
A
Ventura County smog control agency dealt a heavy
blow to BHP Billiton’s
plans to anchor a liquefied natural gas terminal off the Malibu
coast, when it told federal regulators Tuesday that Cabrillo Port
must meet the strongest level of
pollution control rules.
By a 9-0 vote, the Ventura
County Air Pollution Control
Board asked the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency to
place the LNG terminal under the
New Source Review guidelines of
the federal Clean Air Act. The
vote came after the board was told
the LNG project may be impossible to build under the severe rules,
which could require BHP Billiton
to buy and retire existing air pollution credits in Ventura County
that may not exist.
The smog board’s executive
director, Mike Villegas, told the
board that public testimony last
summer convinced him it was a
mistake for him to officially support a policy reversal on Cabrillo
Port by EPA officials in 2005.
The EPA switch came after local
EPA scientists and lawyers felt
heavy pressure from BHP Billiton, Australian government and
White House officials to ease up
on Cabrillo Port, the Malibu
Surfside News has reported.
Villegas said the outpouring of
TESTIMONY—Malibu activist Keely Shaye Brosnan addresses the
Ventura Air Pollution Control Board at Tuesday’s hearing. MSN/Hans Laetz
public opinion at public hearings
last summer, coupled with legal
opinions filed on behalf of
Malibu residents, “brought us to
the realization that we were
flawed in our decision, that there
was a crack in our logic.”
“During the public comment
period last summer, some
enlightening comments were
made that made me go back and
look at our initial finding,”
Villegas told the board. “When I
face the fellow in the mirror that
I see shaving, I want to make
sure I see a face of integrity.”
At Tuesday’s meeting, Malibu
resident Keely Shaye Brosnan
implored the smog board to
endorse Villegas’ finding, and “as
the mother of two small children,
one of whom has asthma,” tell the
EPA it has also made a mistake.
Brosnan noted that the EPA
decision to grant BHPB for an
exemption “undermines our area’s
commitment to improve air quality,” and said “there is no reason
why BHP Billiton should receive
special treatment, even if they
have friends in the White House.”
But a BHPB lawyer urged the
agency not to undo the change,
which he said was unfair to do to
the company at this late date.
“There was a general understanding as to what was going to be the
interpretation on Rule 26(c),” said
attorney Tom Wood, who said it
the company has relied on that
interpretation as it prepares to
build the LNG terminal.
Don Facciano, president of the
Ventura County Taxpayers
Association, said “the company
has been spending a lot of money
during the past year under the
assumption that the EPA interpretation was acceptable to you, and
now you want to unilaterally
change it. Is that a flip-flop?”
But Linda Krop, lead attorney
for the Environmental Defense
Center, rebutted, “Remember, it
was the EPA that first changed the
rules, and now it is proper to ask
them to go back.” EDC’s legal filings this year were the first to formally object to the EPA reversal,
and were partly funded by the
City of Malibu, California
Coastal Protection Network and
Malibu residents.
BHP Billiton’s attorney told the
board the company currently
plans to remove more pollution
from California skies than required, even under the stricter
rules, by removing two heavilypolluting tugboat engines from
regular service between San
Francisco and San Pedro. But
environmentalists have scoffed at
that plan as not sufficient, because the smog reduction must be
accomplished near the same place
that the new smog is created,
which may not be possible given
the lack of heavy industry in
Ventura County.
The tighter smog rules were
opposed by several Oxnard and
Ventura residents. Chris McLaughlin said he was there “to
represent the views of the silent
majority who support this plant
and the energy and jobs it will
bring. It’s not right to change the
rules in the third quarter.”
Oxnard Chamber of Commerce
director Nancy Lindholm also
blasted the decision. “We believe
this issue appears political, given
that it comes up late in the
process after many public hearings have already occurred.”
But the EDC’s air pollution
lawyer, Karen Krauss, urged the
board to make the change back to
the original interpretation. “EPA
has chosen to single out Cabrillo
Port for an exemption from the
Ventura County regulations that
apply to every other business.
And Cabrillo Port is nowhere
near the Channel Islands, much
less on them, as the rule states.”

Democratic Sweep May Further Slow Malibu LNG Port Plan
Boxer and Waxman Will Chair Committes and Increased EPA Oversight Is Expected to Follow
T
he seismic shift in Congress—and two little-noticed
electoral changes in Sacramento—may have very real impacts along the California coast,
where new offshore oil drilling,
and proposed floating liquefied
natural gas proposals, may all of a
sudden face tougher scrutiny.
Cabrillo Port, the floating LNG
storage and regasification ship
planned for Malibu waters, is
sailing into its final decisionmaking period this winter, and
coastal advocates said they
expect close congressional scrutiny of a regulatory process they
said was stacked in favor of LNG
importers.
The immediate fate of the
Malibu LNG terminal now sits
with the little-noticed, three-member California State Lands Commission, which has two new
members elected last week.
Spokespeople for both Lt. Governor-elect John Garamendi and
Controller-elect John Chiang both
told the Malibu Surfside News it
is too soon for either to make a
statement about Cabrillo Port.
“I’m sure you understand the
entire emphasis was on the election, and we are only now studying specific policy issues,” said
Chiang spokeswoman Trisha
Murakowa.
The Lands Commission’s third
vote is held by a high-ranking
official to Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger, and is expected to vote
the governor’s bidding.
Schwarzenegger has backed off
of earlier statements of support
and just before the election issued
a strongly-worded statement
pledging a thorough look at
Cabrillo Port’s energy supply,
safety and pollution issues.
With the new commissioners
being sworn in Jan. 8, commission spokesman Dwight Sanders
said Monday that the Cabrillo
Port Environmental Impact Report will not come up for a hearing and vote until March at the
earliest, overshooting original
estimates by months. “The
process of evaluation continues,
and we certainly think it will be
completed by the end of the first
quarter (of 2007),” he said.
BHP Billiton officials had targeted Spring 2005 as their target
for securing permission to build
Cabrillo Port, their marketing
name for a 14-story-high set of
rounded storage tanks, smoke
stacks and regasification ovens
that the Australian company
“Global lillll
warming will ll
be back on the ll
iagenda now.”
wants to float in 3,000 feet of
water about 16 miles southwest
of Point Dume.
If the LNG terminal secures
State Lands Commission approval, it would next go to the
California Coastal Commission. If
approved there, the reelected governor would have the opportunity
to approve or deny the permit.
In Washington, efforts to
loosen offshore oil drilling
restrictions on California’s outer
waters appear dead, with the U.S.
House of Representatives version
of a new offshore drilling bill left
without its chief sponsor, defeated House Resources Committee
Chairman Richard Pombo.
A compromise Senate bill,
which would not open up additional California waters, may be
the best that drillers can hope for,
according to Washington news
reports.
On the Senate side, Sen.
Barbara Boxer is in line to chair
the Senate Environment and
Public Works Committee, and
pledged to act on global warming
issues as first priority. “Time is
running out, and we need to move
forward on this,” Boxer was quoted as saying during a conference
call with D.C. reporters.
Rep. Henry Waxman, the
Democrat who represents Malibu
and L.A.’s Westside, becomes
one of the majority party’s highest-ranking Congressman next
session, and Waxman expects
success for his Safe Climate Act
in the 110th Congress. If enacted,
it would extend California’s
groundbreaking laws nationwide,
and roll back the nation’s total
allotted greenhouse emissions to
1990 levels by the year 2020.
“Global warming will be back
on the agenda now, but whether
anything gets enacted and signed
by the President is another matter
altogether,” was the pessimistic
assessment by Marchent Wentworth, a legislative lobbyist for
the Union of Concerned Scientists, in a telephone interview
from Washington.
Schwarzenegger’s law, AB 32,
calls for similar rollbacks here,
but some LNG opponents have
cautioned that bureaucrats appointed by the Governor to implement AB 32 might favor the
use of LNG as a “bridge fuel” for
several decades. Conservationists
say that will hurt the growth of
renewable energy sources, while
increasing America’s reliance on
imported fossil fuels.

Opponents of Dume Room Closure Pour Out Their Concerns

Malibu City Council Who Indicate They Can Do Little
T
DRIVE—Signature gatherers urge support for the Dume

Kanan Corner Calamity
MISHAP—Two motorists collided at the intersection of Pacific
Coast Highway and Kanan Dume Road on Monday morning
when Patricia Baum, 87, of Rancho Cucamonga, attempted to
turn left onto Kanan in front of Tammy Kress, 32, of Los
Angeles, who was traveling westbound on PCH. Both complained of pain, but law enforcement officials said there were no
serious injuries. “Baum probably ran a red light when she

he impending closure of a
longtime establishment, the
Dume Room, has stirred a
whirlwind of protests, petition
signings, letters to the editor and a
visit by some of its most ardent
fans to the Malibu City Council
chambers this week.
Habitués of the Point Dume bar
came to express to the council
many of their personal sentiments
about the changing face of Malibu
and how the closing of the last
neighborhood tavern is symptomatic of changes that have escalated in the last several months.
“Save the Dume Room. It is bigger than saving a bar. It is a huge
blow to the [social] classes of Malibu,” said Jeff Kantor, who ticked
off a laundry list of the shuttered
establishments in Malibu such as
Pierview, Windsail, the lumber
yard, the hardware store and other
venues, some of which he said are
still closed and remain idle.
Mario Vitale, the operator of
the Dume Room for the last four
years, added to the litany of stores
used by locals that are no more.
“The [Point Dume] pet store is
going, Malibu Gymnastics is
gone, the hardware store long
gone. There are 15 or 20 permitted uses that are gone,” said Vitale, who said it wasn’t simply
self-interest that was driving him
because he can take his liquor
license anywhere.
“It is more than a bar. Your kids
go there. Dads bring them in for
their first drink legally. It is a rite
of passage. Brides have met husbands. Even John Wayne drank
there,” he added.
Radio personality George Reyes
said he has been a fan of the Dume
Room since 1999 when he moved
to the coastal enclave. “It changed
my life. I met all kinds of people
there from blue collar to millionaires,” he said. “Everyone needs a
place to escape.”
Longtime Malibuite Dixie
Moore said the local bar has been
the place to go “if you are sad or
if you are single. It is a wonderful
place. There are old guys and
ladies from the Point Dume Club
who go there.” Moore vowed that
if the shopping center is developed, she will boycott it. “I will
not step on that development. We
will not give you our local sales
taxes if we don’t have a place to
go to,” she said.
Tony, who gave no last name,
said the tavern is one of the last
places in Malibu that is not pretentious. “It doesn’t depend on
what you have or don’t have. If
you have the power to save it, you
should. A lot of places in town
where you go, you have to have a
lot of money,” he added.
Realtor Donna Bohana said she
could go anywhere in Malibu, but
by the end of the evening always
found herself back at the Dume
Room. She said she has been a fan
since her college days 20 years
ago. “It has been a part of my life
since Pepperdine. I work across
the street. I go to Nobu. I take my
clients to Moonshadows or Sunset,
but at the end of the night I like to
take them to the real Malibu and
sing Frank Sinatra songs. You guys
have to do something. It should be
landmarked. I can go anywhere in
Malibu but I choose the Dume
Room,” she said.
Jennifer Kantor said she is a DJ
and has played everywhere in Los
Angeles but singles out the Dume
Room. “It seems a lot of places
are disappearing and there is a
bunch of high-end shops where
nobody seems to shop. We don’t
want this to be another empty lot.
I’ve played everywhere, but the
Dume Room has my heart,” Kantor told council members.
A majority of the council members were sympathetic to the outpouring, but said they were impotent in the face of market factors
shaping Malibu.
“Everything you have said
about the Dume Room is true. My
father used to walk to it,” said
Councilmember Sharon Barovsky, who said she did not see how
the city could interfere with private property rights. “I won’t
shop there if they do this, but I
don’t see how we can legally do
anything,” added Barovsky.
“I agree it is a part of Malibu. I
don’t know what to do. I don’t
know how to stop it. I don’t know
how to stop evictions or rent
increases,” said Councilmember
Andy Stern.
However, Councilmember Pamela Conley Ulich took a different
tack. “I think there is something
we can do. There are ways to
legally control or make Malibu
unique,” said Conley Ulich, who
said she has been touting a proposed formula retail store ban to
stop chain stores from wanting to
do business in Malibu.

Student’s Suicide Grips the Malibu High School Campus
A
female 11th grade student
at Malibu High School
committed suicide on
Wednesday, Nov. 8, sending the
community into shock and grief.
Parents were notified of the
tragedy via a letter from principal
Mark Kelly that was sent home
with the students the following
day. It has not been verified
whether the girl’s suicide was
related to substance abuse or
depression.
MHS counselors, the school
psychologist, and counselors
from Jewish Family Services
have been on campus providing
psychological support to the students. School administrators are
assessing the need to bring a specialized grief counselor to the
campus.
MHS also has an existing grief
support group for students. A designated private space has been
reserved on campus for students
to receive counseling. Kelly said,
“We will draw on experience with
these groups to shape our work
now.”
Kelly has encouraged parents to
be proactive in helping their children deal with their feelings
regarding the suicide, noting that
in these situations children often
respond best to those familiar to
them, as opposed to qualified
strangers.
According to a startling statistic
from the American Academy of
Child and Adolescent Psychiatry,
suicide is the third leading cause
of death for 15-to-24-year-olds,
and the sixth leading cause of
death for 5-to-14-year-olds.
The organization’s website
states, “Teenagers experience
strong feelings of stress, confusion, self-doubt, pressure to succeed, financial uncertainty and
other fears while growing up.
“For some teenagers, divorce,
the formation of a new family
with step-parents and step-sib-
lings, or moving to a new community can be very unsettling and
can intensify self-doubts. For
some teens, suicide may appear to
be a solution to their problems
and stress.”
The list of symptoms a teenager may exhibit who is contemplating suicide include: a marked
change in eating and sleeping
habits; withdrawal from friends,
family and regular activities; violent actions, rebellious behavior,
or running away from home; drug
and alcohol abuse; neglect of personal appearance; intense mood
swings; persistent boredom, difficulty concentrating, or a steep decline in grades; frequent complaints about physical symptoms
that are often related to emotions,
such as stomachaches, headaches,
fatigue, etc.; a loss of interest in
pleasurable activities; and intolerance of praise or rewards.
Other suicidal tendencies could
be a repeated expressed belief of
being worthless or statements implying the teenager won’t be a
problem for his or her family
much longer. Teens in crisis also
start putting their affairs in order
by giving away prized possessions or throwing away important
belongings and display psychotic
behavior, such as hallucinating or
expressing bizarre thoughts.
Professionals emphasize that if
a child is exhibiting a number of
these symptoms, it is important to
seek help. Depression and suicidal tendencies are treatable. According to mental health experts,
it is important to talk to teens who
may be contemplating suicide,
because if nothing else it is proof
that an adult in their life is concerned about their welfare.
For emergency mental health
support, Kelly recommends calling the Los Angeles Department
of Mental Health at 800-8547771 or St. John’s Hospital at
310-829-5511 and ask for the on-
call clinician.
But now, administrators and
teachers at MHS are soul searching as to why this student was not
helped in time. “We will assess
our current programs and give
due thought to what we need to do
better,” Kelly stated.
“We have many strong programs in place and offer more
counseling support than most
schools [including our] own
counseling staff, a partnership
with Jewish Family Services,
Angels at Risk, and the Boys &
Girls Club. We have counseling
groups going on, and we have
strategies in place for whole grade
levels in the form of Dialogue,
Counsel, and the STAR Program.
That does not mean we cannot do
more and I want to push for a systematic approach toward offering
support for students. That is much
more challenging to do, but likely
worth the investment,” he added.

ROOM RETORT
Editor:
We used to joke about the Dume Room, calling it the
doomed room, a neighborhood bar on the water’s edge. For
me, my family and friends, it was always great. Great pool,
great music, generous drinks, but, most importantly, great
people with generous spirits (the non-alcoholic variety).
Without the Dume Room and what came before it, we
would not have “Anna Christie” by Eugene O’Neil, “The
Time of your Life” by William Saroyan or “Deadwood” by
David Milch, to name a few. We live in Malibu because we
love this small town. An unanswered question with one
friend will surely be answered in under a couple of hours
by another. The longer one lives here, the more friends one
has, now that’s communication—and the per capita income
isn’t bad either!
Doesn’t the new Pt. Dume Center property owner know
that we are a loyal bunch? That we will continue to frequent Pt. Dume even though there is already insufficient
parking? That we can drive to HOWS, as always, and have
coffee at Trancas? The last I heard there is very good antivirus medication sold at Dume Pharmacy. Maybe the new
owner doesn’t care yet, but we do. Change is wonderful,
and growth is great, but if it’s not broken, why fix it? Old
and new Malibu can coexist, but lets keep our mosaic of
American culture.
Maybe what needs to be fixed and balanced is the relationship between tenants and landlords (an outdated name
if ever there was one). Our livelihoods have to be protected. When my daughter and I were the proprietors of
Atlantis in Cross Creek, businesses started to become hobbies or flagship companies that made no money in Malibu.
If May Rindge hadn’t stopped the railroad, where would
we all be now? It wasn’t about the view for her, anymore
than it is for us regarding the proposed LNG terminal. It is
for our safety, and those of our children and our environment and Malibu.
Welcome to Malibu, once a local, always a local, no
matter where we came from before. Of course, it’s not the
place or the room that can doom us, only ourselves, but
here, it’s a free country!

CANINE CONCERN
Editor:
The dog, a brindle pit, was dead right in front of BeauRivage. I was on my way to hike in Solstice Canyon, and as I
was knocking on doors to see if I could locate the owner on
Saturday morning at 8 a.m. and check to see if the dog had
a collar and tag (she did not), a young man, very handsome with a clipped British accent pulled over too, out of
concern for the animal.
I was very impressed that he too was there for that dog’s
concern. Malibu is a caring city.

VEXED VETERAN
Editor:
“Where US Marines died by the hundreds, the broken
bottles, crushed boxes and plastic bags are now piling up by
the millions.” This is a quote from an Associated Press article, dated May 15, 2004. Accompanying the article is a photograph of a young boy sitting on top of a huge garbage pile,
scavenging.
Why is this significant on Veterans Day?
The young boy is a Tarawa native. The garbage pile is a
short distance from Red Beach, where Marines of the 2nd
Division made an amphibious assault on Betio, in the heavily defended Japanese atoll of Tarawa on November 21,
1943, the first of the “island-hopping” invasions. During the
three-day battle, the Marines suffered 3400 casualties,
including more than 1000 killed, an 18 percent casualty rate.

Publisher’s NOTEBOOK
So Goes Malibu...
M
alibu voters did not feel strongly compelled to go to the polls last week and the
Registrar-Recorder’s latest tallies show it.
Of the 8725 registered voters in the city,
only 38.19 percent of them, or 3332, made it to the
polls. An even lower percentage of voters in unincorporated Malibu, or 36.77 percent of those registered, cast ballots on Nov. 7. Voters in the unincorporated areas traditionally have been more conservative than those in the city, but voting profiles are
now more closely aligned as to party and ballot
preferences. And voters from everywhere in the
90265 zip code were in sync with the rest of the
voters in the state. Although the vote spread was
less dramatic than the statewide totals, Malibuites
appeared not to be swayed by stances on local
issues, such as the Cabrillo Port LNG project, and
selected Republican Arnold Schwarzenegger over
Democratic challenger Phil Angelides by three to
two (in the city, by 1735 to 1352). More resounding (and much more in keeping with overall state
figures for winning candidates) were the local vote
totals for John Garamendi for lieutenant governor,
Debra Bowen for secretary of state, John Chiang
for treasurer and, receiving more votes than were
cast for any of the other top posts on the state ballot, Jerry Brown for attorney general. Even if these
four wins are solely attributed to the slight Democratic majority and the growing number of undeclared voters in this community, registration affiliations were not dominant enough to carry over in
favor of Cruz Bustamante, who lost to Republican
Steve Poizner for insurance commissioner, which
was the only other major statewide post to go to a
GOP candidate (in the city, by 1527 to 1260).
S
enator Dianne Feinstein received the most votes
of any candidate for any post (in the city, 2156),
followed by Representative Henry Waxman
with 2070 votes. As expected, the total votes
cast dropped off for judges. The number of local voters who pass on judicial contests is as high as 50 percent. Not so the ballot measures. Measures 1A
through 1E all were viewed favorably by Malibuites,
as were Measures 84, 86 and 87. But Measures 85,
88, 89 and 90 were not. The vote on Santa MonicaMalibu Unified School District Measure BB was
closer in Malibu than Santa Monica (in the city 1518
to 1131), but still ended the ballot on an upbeat note.

Locals Collaborate on Script About Timothy Treadwell
■ ‘The Bear Dreamer’ Ponders the Tumultuous Life of a Man Dedicated to Grizzlies
Malibu residents Rebecca
Dmytryk and Lindsey Bell
have written a script tentatively named “The Bear
Dreamer” about environmentalist and bear enthusiast Timothy Treadwell, who
was killed with his companion, Amie Huguenard, by a
bear while camping in Alaska in October, 2003.
Three years in the writing,
the screenplay, through
small vignettes, examines
Treadwell’s life—from trophy-winning diver in high
school, through the turmoil
of battling drugs and alcohol, his abusive father and to
his work in Alaska.
Always fascinated by

LNG SMOG RULES
After the vote, BHP Billiton spokeswoman Kathi
Hann said the board’s vote
“was just their interpretation of a rule, and we’ll
have to see what the EPA
does.”
Indeed, the Tuesday vote
hands the matter back to
EPA officials in San Francisco, who are digesting
more than 12,000 anti-LNG
comments filed last summer. EPA officials said a
final determination on the
level of smog rules to be
applied to Cabrillo Port will
come this summer, a separate legal issue from the
project’s overall environmental and operating permits.
The complicated issue
boils down to Ventura
County Smog Rule 26(c),
which, when written in
1994, exempted a small
Navy generator on San
Nicolas Island and the
lighthouse on Anacapa
Island from mainland smog
rules.
When it first examined
the Cabrillo Port application in 2003, EPA ruled that
BHPB would have to purchase 1.3 pounds of smog
credits for every one pound
of nitrous oxide emissions
generated at the LNG terminal – a burden that could
be impossible, given that
there is not a lot of heavy
industry in Ventura County,
county supervisors said.
After the White House
lobbying, EPA reversed
itself in 2005 and “exercised its discretion” to
interpret Rule 26(c) to
mean the offshore plant and
its 270 tons per year of
smog-causing chemicals
would be governed by the
same rules as the small
generator on San Nicolas
Island, 60 miles distant,
instead of the Ventura
County shoreline 14 miles
away. Net result: BHP Billiton would not have to
meet the offset rules, which
could kill the plant.
After the meeting, Malibu city councilman Andy
Stern credited the smog

A Matter of PUBLIC RECORD
NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING
CITY OF MALIBU
CITY COUNCIL
The Malibu City Council will hold a public hearing on MONDAY, December
11, 2006, at 6:30 p.m. in the Council Chambers, Malibu City Hall, 23815
Stuart Ranch Road, Malibu, CA, on the appeal of the approval of the coastal
development (CDP) permit identified below and on the Zoning Text Amendment (ZTA), Zoning Map Amendment (ZMA), General Plan Map Amendment
(GPMA), and Local Coastal Program (LCP) Amendments.
Appeal No. 06-013: The appellant filed an appeal of the Planning Commission’s approval of Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND) No. 06-004 and Initial Study No. 06-002, conditional approval of CDP No. 05-136 and Vesting
Tentative Parcel Map No. 99-002, and the Planning Commission’s recommendation of approval that the City Council approve ZTA No. 05-004, ZMA
No. 05-001, GPMA No. 05-001, and Local Coastal Program Amendment
(LCPA) No. 05-002. The grounds for the appeal are: (1) the Planning Commission’s findings or conditions are not supported by substantial evidence, or
the Planning Commission’s decision is not supported by the findings; and (2)
the Planning Commission’s decision was contrary to law. In addition to considering the appeal, the City Council will also consider the amendments to
the Malibu Municipal Code (M.M.C.), General Plan, and LCP.
Project Description: The applicant proposes a new land use designation of
Single Family Beachfront (SFBF) to the land use maps contained in the General Plan and LCP Land Use Plan and a new zoning designation of SFBF to
zoning maps contained in the M.M.C. and Local Implementation Plan (LIP).
The new designation would permit parcels with a minimum lot size of .25
acres, a minimum lot width of 45 feet and a minimum lot depth of 120 feet.
The applicant proposes to change the project site zoning and land use designation from Single Family Medium (SFM) to SFBF. The applicant additionally
proposes a tentative parcel map subdividing the subject property (2.08-acre
parcel, 200 feet wide by 469 feet to 500 feet in length), into four half-acre
parcels approximately 50 feet wide by 469 feet to 500 feet in length.
At the September 5, 2006 Planning Commission public hearing, an alternate
ZTA option was discussed which adds a beachfront lot width standard of 45 feet
to the existing SFM zoning district to differentiate beachfront from landward SFM
zoned lots. This option is evaluated in the Revised MND. This option would still
require a ZTA and LCPA but would not require the ZMA, GPA, or GPMA since
the existing land use designation of SFM would not be changing.
APPLICATION NUMBERS: ZTA No. 05-004, ZMA No. 05-001, GPA No. 05-001,
GPMA No. 05-001, CDP No. 05-136, TPM No. 99-002, IS No. 06-002, MND
No.06-004 and LCPA No. 05-002; APPELLANTS: Ross Family Trust and Other
Nearby Property Owners, Ellia Thompson, Jeffer, Mangels, Butler and Marmaro,
LLP; APPEAL FILED: September 15, 2006 (Appeal No. 06-013); APPLICATION FILED: July 29, 2005 (CDP No. 05-136); APPLICANT: Sharyl Beebe,
Prism Planning; PROPERTY OWNER: Malibu Bay Company c/o David Reznick;
LOCATION: 30732 Pacific Coast Highway within the coastal zone (4469-026005); CITY PLANNER: Stefanie Edmondson, 456-2489, ext. 233
Pursuant to the authority and criteria contained in the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”), the Planning Division has analyzed the proposal as
described above. The Planning Division found that one of the exceptions for
the uses of categorical exemptions from CEQA applies because the project
has the potential to have significant adverse effect on the environmental
resources as the site contains Environmentally Sensitive Habitat Area and is
located on a Scenic Highway. Accordingly, an Initial Study was conducted
pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15063 and a Mitigated Negative Declaration was prepared pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15070. Subsequent to the Planning Commission approval on September 5, 2006, a
Revised Mitigated Negative Declaration was circulated on November 9, 2006
for a 30-day review period (November 9, 2006 - December 8, 2006).
A written staff report will be available at or before the hearing. Following an oral
staff report at the beginning of the hearing, the applicant and appellants may be
given up to 15 minutes to make a presentation. Any amount of that time may be
saved for rebuttal. All other persons wishing to address the Council will be provided three minutes to address the Council. These time limits may be changed
at the discretion of the Council. At the conclusion of the testimony, the Council
will deliberate and its decision will be memorialized in a written resolution.
Copies of all related documents, including the grounds for appeal, are available
for review at City Hall during regular business hours. Written comments may be
presented to the City Council at any time prior to the close of the public hearing.
COASTAL COMMISSION APPEAL - An aggrieved person may appeal the City
Council’s decision regarding the Coastal Development Permit to the Coastal
Commission within 10 working days of the issuance of the City’s Notice of
Final Action. Appeal forms may be found online at www.coastal.ca.gov or in
person at the Coastal Commission South Central Coast District office located
at 89 South California Street in Ventura, or by calling 805-585-1800. Such an
appeal must be filed with the Coastal Commission, not the City.
Pursuant to LIP Section 19.3.2(C) and MMC Section 17.74.030, the decision
regarding the amendments is final and conclusive and may not be reconsidered
except upon referral by the City Council. IF YOU CHALLENGE THE CITY’S
ACTION IN COURT, YOU MAY BE LIMITED TO RAISING ONLY THOSE
ISSUES YOU OR SOMEONE ELSE RAISED AT THE PUBLIC HEARING
DESCRIBED IN THIS NOTICE, OR IN WRITTEN CORRESPONDENCE
DELIVERED TO THE CITY, AT OR PRIOR TO THE PUBLIC HEARING.

BB Funds Use in Flux Election
(Continued from page 2)
■
Measure Passes with 67 Percent Approval
W
ith the overwhelming 67 percent voter
approval in the primary election of school
bond Measure BB, representatives from the Santa
Monica-Malibu Unified
School District feel empowered to put into immediate action plans to upgrade and improve all
school sites.
According to SMMUSD
superintendent Dianne Talarico first to be addressed
will be health and safety
issues, which include lead
abatement, asbestos and
mold removal, earthquake
retrofitting and the upgrading of school restrooms.
The construction of new
classrooms, science labs,
fire safety equipment and
improving disabled student
accessibility also will be
addressed.
However, one of Talarico’s top priorities is the
modernization of each
site’s computer capabilities, stating that she wants
to “make sure that classrooms are equipped for the
technological demands of
2025.”
Although the district has
forged a Facilities Master
Plan, a blue sky document
that was authored in a
series of community workshops last year detailing the
construction ideals of all
district campuses, Talarico
plans to refine that plan
with more current and realistic input.
She said she intends to
request the site governance
council at each school
compile a list of four priorities, and then cut those priorities down to two.
“We have to match ideas
with needs assessment,”
Talarico points out, noting
that even with the passage
of a $268 million bond that
came with the promise of
matching funds from the
state, monies will be finite.
Also, there could be a
shifting of construction priorities as the various projects on the different campuses go forward.
SMMUSD does have deferred maintenance funds
in its existing budget,
which are used to repair
leaky roofs, correct electrical malfunctions, and other
such construction requirements.
“Some projects that are
identified for Measure BB
may already be taken care
of with this funding,”
Talarico said.
Talarico said she is determined to get the plans in
place for construction to
begin as soon as possible,
which means she and the
SMMUSD Board of Education must start the
process of identifying priorities on each campus,
determining which construction company will be
in charge of the work and
possibly naming a project
manager as an overseer.
“We don’t want huge
delays, because the cost [of
all the site projects] will
only go up” Talarico said.
“There are always unanticipated costs for construction
that are unforeseeable at
the start.”
BY PEGGY HALL KAPLAN
now,” said Bill Cooper, director of the Center for
LNG, a Washington lobbying group, in a telephone
interview. “A lot of people
feel natural gas is the cleanest burning fossil fuel we
have available, with the
lowest relative fossil fuels.”
But others in D.C. disagreed: “There is a fundamental disconnect between
the push for lower carbon
emissions and any movement towards LNG imports,” said Wentworth.
“I think BHP Billiton is
delusional if they think
their project will reduce our
state’s greenhouse gases,”
said Rory Cox, a San Francisco director of Environment California, an antiLNG group. Cox’s group
points to its studies which
portray LNG as dirtier than
coal, if the enormous
amounts of greenhouse gas
burned to liquefy, transport
and regasify it are included
in the equation.
Cox said the big implication of a Democratic
Congress “is the shenanigans at EPA,” where lack
of congressional oversight
has led to some interpretations of pollution rules that
benefited the energy industry in general and Cabrillo
Port in particular.

International Human Rights Group Criticizes Estate’s Ownership
■ London-Based Global Witness Organization Challenges Use of African Nation’s Funds
A
$35 million mansion overlooking
Malibu Pier, perhaps one of the
most prominent single
pieces of private real estate
in Malibu, is at the center
of a human rights controversy in Africa and England. The mansion’s owner
is the son of the president
of Equatorial Guinea, and
the two men stand accused
of leaving their countrymen in wretched poverty
while enriching themselves
with oil revenues.
The house on Sweetwater Mesa Road, accessible only at the guardhouse
on Serra Road or via the
gate at Cross Creek Road,
has a commanding view of
the Malibu Colony and
Carbon Beach areas. It has
a four-hole putting green,
tennis courts and all the
perquisite luxury imaginable behind an entrance
“that looks like the front
gates at Paramount Studios,” as one observer put it.
An international human
rights organization this
week accused Teodoro
Nguema Obiang, 35, of
secretly buying the Malibu
estate earlier this year.
Obiang serves as Agriculture and Forestry Minister
of Equatorial Guinea, an
oil-rich nation in Africa
where the president and
strongman is his father,
also named Teodoro N.
Obiang.
Oil royalties of $3 billion
per year would put its citizens on a per capita income
level with Finland, if distributed fairly, said Sarah
Wykes, an activist with
Global Witness in London.
But most of the population
of Equatorial Guinea ekes
out an existence on less
than a dollar a day, “Their
entire health and education
budget for the whole nation
is $25 million, and they
take in billions of dollars
from American oil companies,” she said.
About one quarter of
U.S. oil imports is now
coming from equatorial
Africa, and Wykes said
Americans should be concerned that the oil supply
might be endangered if
government officials continue to intercept the oil
revenues and keep the
500,000 residents in abject
poverty.
“This is a keen issue of
ethics, and I would imagine
that Americans would be
concerned about getting a
quarter of their oil imports
from a region that treats its
people so shabbily,” Wykes
said in a telephone interview.
Residents of the Serra
Retreat neighborhood were
of mixed opinion when they
learned about the international human rights report
about their new neighbor. “I
have to do my homework
about what kind of [person]
he is,” said Thomas Hirsch,
who said he lives “one hill
over from the guy.”
Most other Serra Retreat
residents, interviewed at a
nearby coffee shop, said
they had no opinion.
Obiang has a reputation
of being an international
playboy. Internet accounts
have romantically linked
him with rap music star
Eve, and South African

The Aquarium AGE
The Week of Nov. 16-Nov. 22, 2006
his week, delineating planetary
patterns is like trying to explain
the season finale of “Lost.” It
can’t be done without hours and
hours and hours of complicated backstories and even then, whoever you’re
trying to bring up-to-date is going to
feel as if you’re holding out on what’s
really going on. It’s as if you’re holding them hostage in a hatch until you
figure out what’s happening, or your listener finally breaks
down and reveals that he or she knew all along what was
going on. And while we’re not stuck in a cliffhanger, that
doesn’t mean anyone can predict what happens next. Real
life on Planet Earth is unfolding at such an unbelievably
rapid pace it’s hard keeping up with the daily plot twists, let
alone the arc of the entire story. And this week, the planets
amp-up the uncertainty principle. I don’t know about you,
but I’ve got a sign up on my wall that says, “It’s Uranus,
dummy.” Because when the planet of sudden, surprising,
startling shift takes center stage, all that most of us can do is
hang on tight and wait for the waves of change to settle
down. Here’s the good news: Mercury goes direct late in the
day on Friday. Be aware that the days following a retrograde
T
tend to be a little unruly. Computers, software, phones, faxes
and good old-fashioned snail mail are likely to continue to
have a life of their own until Monday morning. Here’s the
intense news: Uranus goes direct on Monday, ending a sixmonth retrograde that began mid-June. When Uranus moves
forward, we always experience a wobble of some kind, and
because Uranus has been at the epicenter of so much change
this year, as it moves forward, it’s going to revisit previous
“situations.” Don’t be surprised if the first six weeks of forward motion resemble a backward spin. Previously unresolved issues are likely to appear for one last dance. Fortunately, as Uranus turns around, it forms a positive alliance
with Mercury, and that translates into lots of ideas about how
to catalyze what’s stagnant, as well as how to resolve those
moldy oldies. I have to admit, I kinda like the catalytic conversion of Uranus. It’s so easy to get stuck in what’s comfortable or clever. And while I don’t like the destructive
aspect of Uranus or any other planetary archetype, I am willing to acknowledge how simple it is to fall asleep at the
wheel of life. Uranian activity provides opportunities to
wake up from a personal or a collective trance. So this week,
get up early, pay attention to what shakes loose, and be
determined to use these waves of change for big leaps in personal growth. As always whenever possible, respect the
integrity of your fellow travelers and try to be kind.

NOVEMBER 16 • 2006
If you know your ascendant and/or your moon sign, read that too.
Aries (March 21-April l9): There is reason to celebrate and there is
also reason to be humble. So despite the intensity of certain circumstantial shifts, stay focused on your goals, as well as disciplined in
your efforts to achieve those ends.
Taurus (April 20-May 20): While seismic shifts are possible with
significant others—and I wouldn’t rule out an eccentric dazzling
stranger—the most important change in relationship patterns is the
shift in how you relate to you. Be loving with yourself and others
will follow your example.
Gemini (May 21-June 21): Surprising career developments continue to startle, and while the situation is unnerving, it isn’t necessarily
negative. Remember, whatever we focus our attention on becomes
reality—be positive and you’ll create a win/win solution.
Cancer (June 22-July 22): Your heart is wide open and overflowing with emotion, so rather than holding back (which isn’t really
possible) express yourself. On planet Earth the heart is the power
center—and that means you gotta feel to heal.
Leo (July 23-August 22): Even though you were born to lead, try
not to underestimate the comfort of belonging—it’s important for
you to feel connected and a part of things. Give yourself permission
to join and you’ll increase your joy in 10,000 ways.
Virgo (August 23-September 22): You’re talking about every little
detail of daily life—and that’s good, because hidden in those mundane facts of daily existence are bits of vital information about what
you want and need. Listen closely and you’ll hear yourself grow.
Libra (September 23-October 22): You must choose: Freak out, or
consider these changes a challenge to your capacity to adjust to the
transitory nature of existence. It’s all a matter of perspective, and
there’s no “right” answer.
Scorpio (October 23-November 21): You’re nearing the end of a
year-long positive identity crisis. Take stock and contemplate not
only what you’ve left behind, but also who you have become.
Sagittarius (November 22-December 21): You’re out of the doldrums, moving full-speed ahead, and that sound you hear is the
sound of your heart beating with enthusiasm. Go head and be excited about your potential—you won’t be disappointed.
Capricorn (December 22-January 19): Stimulating conversations
catalyze new attitudes toward old situations. Yes, some of the information will challenge your systems, but the new data will also give
birth to insight and inspiration.
Aquarius (January 20-February 18): Unexpected developments could suddenly propel you onto a new career track. Be prepared to make swift shifts
and you’ll navigate the upset with skill, ease, and perhaps a little profit.
Pisces (February 19-March 20): Ask for divine intervention and
you’re likely to receive it, so be wise about what you need and
want. Don’t worry—you’re not in any danger and you can’t really
make a mistake. You’re in the midst of a potent interaction with the
great mystery—and that’s a good thing.
