Group Seeks State Coastal Act Enforcement Action
■ Coastal Law Enforcement Action Network Files Suit over Adamson Self-Storage Operation
A
n environmental watchdog group, Coastal Law
Enforcement Action Network, or CLEAN, filed a lawsuit
last week in Los Angeles Superior Court against the Mariposa
Land Company, Ltd., and the
Mariposa Land Corporation,
companies owned by the Adamson family, one of Malibu’s oldest private landholders.
The complaint was filed to
address enforcement of alleged
violations of the California
Coastal Act, as documented by
the California Coastal Commission and others, for what is
described by CLEAN as “a massive, illegally placed development, including a large self-storage facility, on the west bank of
Malibu Creek, just upstream
from Malibu Lagoon.”
The action—a civil suit filed
under the citizen suit enforcement
provisions of the California
Coastal Act of 1976—seeks compliance “with the substantive and
procedural requirements” of the
state law, alleging that the defendants developed the property
without obtaining a coastal development permit, or CDP, as required by law at every stage of development or alteration at the site
located within the coastal zone.
Marcia Hanscom, the managing director of CLEAN, said,
“These violations have been
well-documented, and the Adamsons have known about them for
some time, yet they still appear to
not want to comply with a very
important state law designed to
protect natural resources, such as
Malibu Creek, Malibu Lagoon
and Santa Monica Bay.”
Hanscom added, “We fully intend to convince the Adamsons
to realize this illegal development’s contribution to the pollution problems in the creek and
the lagoon, and to properly take
responsibility for these problems.
We tried to do this without going
to court, but it appears enforcing
the law through the courts is the
only alternative that remains.”
Earlier last year, CLEAN sent
the Adamson companies a 60day notice of alleged violations
under the federal Clean Water
Act and also notified them of the
group’s concerns about alleged
violations of the California
Coastal Act.
According to the complaint
filed Dec. 9, the alleged violations
of the California Coastal Act subject the Adamson companies to
civil penalties under California
Public Resources Code–
§30820(a) of up to $30,000 per
violation of the California Coastal
Act, and to civil penalties under
California Public Resources
Code–§30820(b) of up to $15,000
per day per violation for “intentional and knowing” violations of
the California Coastal Act.
CLEAN’s complaint asks the
court to impose these civil penalties, as well as award costs to the
group for its legal action. “The
sooner the Adamsons decide to
comply with the law, the sooner
the per-day penalty fees will stop
being added up,” Hanscom said.
ALTERNATE APPROACH—An environmental group is taking legal action against development along Malibu Creek that is alleged to be impacting the Malibu Lagoon area’s water quality.
“Not only have the Adamsons said she had “no comment” on within the coastal zone.

Council Turns Down Conservancy Request
■ Ramirez Canyon Residents Imply SMMC Tries End Run around Their Efforts
A
contingent of Ramirez
Canyon property owners
who came out in full
force at last week’s Malibu City
Council meeting did not have to
speak to have their voices heard
by council members.
The issue involved a littlenoticed provision offered by the
Santa Monica Mountains Conservancy at a previous planning commission meeting when the panel
was making recommendations
about the proposed amendment to
the Local Coastal Program.
Led by former Malibu City Attorney Steven Amerikaner, who
earlier in the day had sent a letter
to City Attorney Christi Hogin,
the residents strongly objected to
language that SMMC officials
were seeking to be included in
the LCP amendment addressing
regional and statewide recreation-
al resources in Malibu.
SMMC officials contended the
proposed park language put forth
by the city “does not address and
therefore excludes via absence,
recreational resources of regional
and statewide importance which is
inconsistent with Coastal Act policies mandating that optimal public
access and recreational opportunities be provided for all people.”
When Paul Edelman, the deputy director of natural resources
and planning for the conservancy,
addressed the planning commission, he offered several pages of
specific language he said SMMC
officials wanted to see included
in the LCP amendment addressing the conservancy’s concerns.
Without much discussion, the
planning commission agreed to
include the language in the proposed LCP amendment.
The changes call for definitions
of community parks and regional
parks and allowable uses in those
parks, including which parks
could be located in residential
zones or other areas of the city.
The definition of a regional
park contained the following:
“These are parks where special,
prearranged activities and special
events and functions may occur
as appropriate or necessary for
the benefit of the community and
visitors.”
Canyon homeowners, after the
meeting, said they saw the
SMMC efforts as an end run
around the residents’ legal attempts to thwart the highly controversial activities the SMMC
has carried out at its headquarters
in Ramirez Canyon.
Councilmember Jeff Jennings
was quick to nix the inclusion of
the SMMC language and asked
that the entire agenda item about
the LCP amendment be postponed until his committee could
look at the final proposal before it
was reviewed by the full council.
“This is new,” Jennings objected. “It is inconsistent with what
we had planned. My suggestion
is we deal with it separately and
refer it back to the planning commission staff.”
Jennings noted the city and the
California Coastal Commission
had carefully worked out the
agenda items. “This is something
that can always be added on later.
ZORACES hasn’t looked at it in
a formal fashion. I have a lot of
problems with it. I’m going to
suggest the matter be sent back to
ZORACES,” he said.
Council members concurred.

Pathways
Controversy once again erupted over the proposed Pt. Dume
pathways when the first of two
meetings was recently held
where Malibu city officials met
with residents about the planned
decomposed granite sidewalks to
be built with railroad ties.
“I’m very upset. The design is
flawed. There is no adequate
traffic study,” said Martha Fling,
who said she lives on the corner
of Grayfox and Grasswood
Drive. “Speed is the biggest
problem. We need a full traffic
study. It appears this is to be a
fait accompli. This meeting is

Realtor Susan Monus and others donated generously.
Issue Raised Is Impact of Development on Neighborhoods
Before Malibu planning commissioners got down to the business of approving several permits,
panelists talked this week about
how they could view the impact
their approvals have on Malibu’s
distinct neighborhoods.
The discussion was prompted
by Commissioner John Sibert,
who said he had taken a walk on
Wildlife Drive on Point Dume and
observed three projects he could
not remember from the applications submitted for approval.
“They looked different than the
plans. I’m not accusing anybody,
but one of the things I thought
about was the unintended consequences of cranking these things
out during the last 14 to 15
months,” he said.
Sibert suggested that it might
be time to start looking at the
building sites and completed projects after the approval process.
“We look at sites before they
come before us. Do we ever look
at what happens after we approve
these projects?” Sibert asked.
Commissioner Pete Anthony
asked if Sibert was proposing an
“outcome study.” Sibert responded, “Not so much. But what is the
impact? What does it look like?
What I’m asking is how do we
make good, sound decisions?”
Planning Manager C.J. Amstrup indicated he believed there
is value in some sort of revisiting
process. “There is some wisdom
in looking back,” he said.
The planning head said the staff
could report back to the commission three or four times per year.
“The staff makes final inspections
and could take photos and bring
that back as a power point presentation. We could show the photos
and show what your action has
done,” he said.
Sibert said he thought that was
a good starting point. Since the
item was not on the agenda, presumably the staff will bring back
a report seeking a specific directive when the item is placed on
the agenda.
TRANCAS CANYON HOUSE
With Commissioner Regan
Schaar absent and Chair Les Moss
recusing himself because he lives
within 500 feet of the proposal, a
majority of the planning commission approved an application for a
new 8,018-square-foot house that
includes 11,835-square-feet of underground development.
Andy Kanigowski, who said he
has been in the approval process
for the last seven years, told commissioners the undergrounding of
so much developed space was a
direct result of trying to reduce
the visual impact of the house on
the hillside overlooking Malibu
West and Trancas Canyon Park.
“We need a big house,” added
Kanigowski. The applicant successfully sought the two-story, single-family home with a 6,465square-foot basement, a 2,430square-foot underground garage
also classified as a basement, a tennis court over a 2,940-square-foot
underground barn/storage area,
also classified as a basement.
Planners told commissioners
the basement square footage was
allowed because the application
was filed before the city enacted
its new basement regulations.
Project critic Patt Healy said
there should have been a view
analysis by staff of visual impacts
from Trancas Canyon Park; well
drilling activities require a fish
and game permit because of
Trancas Creek; and the property is
covered by coastal sage scrub,
considered Environmentally Sensitive Habitat Area by the California Coastal Commission.
The city biologist countered the
claims, saying the applicant did
not need a fish and game permit
for the well. He also asserted that
a CCC permit obtained in 1990
states the native vegetation is not
ESHA and will not ever become
ESHA on that site.
Kanigowski said he and his
architect tried to reduce visual impacts from the proposed park and
the rest of the neighborhood.
Commissioners agreed. “It is a
really, really big house, but this is
stealth,” said Commissioner Carol
Randall. “I don’t see a problem
with the views from the park.”
Sibert said he did not find the
house to be outside of the neighborhood character. “I walked
around [the story poles]. I couldn’t
see the story poles from Pacific
Coast Highway. This is a really,
really big house, but they have
managed to not make it intrusive.”
Anthony said he liked the way
the plans built the house and
structures into the slope. He said
he was aware the project was
being built under the old rules, but
thought that was better. “I’m not
sure the new rules would make a
better project. You can’t just look
at numbers on the page. It doesn’t
look as big as it is,” he added.

INQUIRY
Editor:
I live across from Zuma Beach on Pacific Coast Highway. My house is located about 300 feet from PCH. It is
the second one from the bluff.
For about three years, I have noticed that when the postman has a letter or package that must be signed for, he/she,
rather than bother to drive up the driveway, simply puts a
“Sorry We Missed You” notice in the box.
I have complained at the Post Office on Heathercliff several times, but the same lack of service continues.
I was at home all day on Friday, December 16, with a
cold. I sent my daughter down for my mail and she came
back with another “Sorry We Missed You” notice.
The package in question was one I had been waiting for.
It had been sent “Express Mail.”
I would like to know if other people in Malibu have had
this same lack of service on the part of the post office.

SERVICE
Editor:
Last Friday I had the privilege, and honor, of attending a
dual “Celebration of Life” for Devon Goodman and his
mother, Bonnie Brown, at the Malibu West Club. The service was standing room only, attended by more than 200 of
the family’s friends and neighbors.
Although I only knew Devon from his visits to the Malibu
Ranch Market and an occasional “Hello” around the
neighborhood, I’ve noticed myself reflecting many times
over the past few days about how much I will miss this
young man’s presence in my life. His infectious smile and
love of life were treasured by everyone who knew him.
I never had an opportunity to meet Bonnie, but testimonials and slide show given during the service gave me a
clear picture of how both she and Devon touched so many
lives.
Through tears of joy and sadness, many friends painted a
vivid picture of how close and loving Bonnie’s and Devon’s
relationship was. A woman who had originally known
Devon as his baby-sitter and later as a close cherished
friend to Bonnie probably said so many of the things that
all of us in attendance felt.
I guess people like Devon and Bonnie come into our
lives at the right times and in the right ways. They give us
love, support, friendship and memories that last our lifetimes.
Maybe it’s true that “the good die young.” If so, the connection we make with these special people in their short
time must somehow be meant to be that much more intense
in the moment and as we think about them in their absence.

APPRECIATION
Editor:
Congratulations to our city council, the city’s staff,
[Susan] Shaw, Barbara Cameron and the residents of our
community for their outstanding efforts in acquiring the
Chili Cook-Off site.
But special kudos must go to Sharon Barovsky and Ken
Kearsley, without whose determination and creativity the
acquisition of the property would not have been successfully concluded.
And while the purchase of the Chili Cook-Off property
was probably the second most important event in our city’s
history after cityhood, let us not forget the purchases of the
ball fields this year due in no small part to the patience and
tenacity of Jeff Jennings.
Future generations will look back, I am convinced, with
gratitude on these accomplishments.
The lesson to this generation is that we can accomplish
anything for the benefit of our city if we all work together.

experience. In answer to an
often-asked question: no, it
does not revolve.
A plaque at the airport recognizes the 1955 joint venture architects: Pereira &
Luckman, Welton Becket &
Associates and Paul Williams. William Pereira taught
senior architectural students
at the University of Southern
California from 1947. Hoping for the commission, he
assigned his 1951 graduating
class the design project.
Many of their ideas were
eventually incorporated.
Editor Schoneberger says,
“I’m proud of this book, it is
the story of the creation of
the Los Angeles International Airport the way it is today,
an icon of a modern age airport.”
He praises the talent of
graphic designer Amanda
Guilmain for the book’s
stunning look. It also follows Los Angeles Airport

Chef’s Creativity Flavors Latke Cook-Off
Jeff Nathan to Serve up Apple and Purple Potato Recipes at Annual Family Gathering
I
It’s the first afternoon of
Hanukkah and Manhattan
super-chef Jeff Nathan has
assembled his wife, Alison, his son, Chad, and his
daughter, Jaclyn, in the
kitchen for the annual latke
cook-off.
“Every year our family
divvies up who hosts the
Jewish holidays,” says Alison. “For some reason we
always get Hanukkah. But
it’s our favorite, so it’s
okay with us. “
“Every Hanukkah the
menu changes slightly,”
says Chad. “But this year
we’re both old enough to
cook and tell our parents
what we want or don’t
want in the latkes. ‘No
onions or mushrooms for
me—in anything,’” he
emphasizes. “But that
means I have to come up
with alternatives.”
The Nathans love trying
out new latke recipes—this
year, they’ll do apple
latkes—which taste more
like fritters—and the purple potato latke, which
Chad invented and named
Purple Potato Presents
because you get the gift of
its brilliant color when you
bite into it.
“We divide the chores,”
the creative kosher chef
relays. There’s grating the
potatoes, breaking the eggs
and frying the latkes.
“Everybody wants to
break; nobody wants to
grate,” he laughs.
“When we get ready to
cook, we make four copies
of the recipes and tape
them on the cabinets at eye
level,” Jeff says. “That
way if we want to write on
it—Jackie always crosses
off fennel, Chad loves fennel but crosses off onions—at least we’re not
marking up the cookbook
or getting food all over it,”
says Alison.
Jackie will get out the
rest of the family decorations, including the two
pillows that traditionally
adorn the couch, one with
a girl and boy snowman,
the other with a picture of
a menorah with Velcro
flames. “Every night I add
one more.”
The teenagers enthusiastically interrupt each other,
happily recalling Hanukkahs past as they painstakingly prepare for Hanukkah present.
“Jackie and I both want
to light the menorah,” says
Chad happily. “So we take
turns—or fight over it.”

3/4 cup water
2 firm apples, such as Golden Delicious, Fuji, or Granny
Smith, unpeeled
1/2 cup canola oil, as needed
Confectioners’ sugar, for
sprinkling
To make the Spiced Sour
Cream, stir together the
sour cream, vanilla, and
cinnamon in a small bowl.
Set aside at room temperature while making the
latkes so it can lose its chill.
Whisk the flour, sugar,
baking powder, cinnamon,
and allspice in a medium
bowl. Whisk in the water
until barely smooth.
Core apples and cut into
1/4-inch dice. Immediately
fold the diced apples into
the batter.
Line a baking sheet with
a double thickness of paper
towels. Heat the oil over
high heat until it begins to
shimmer. Reduce the heat
to medium. Working in
batches, using about 1/3
cup for each latke, pour the
batter into the skillet.
Cook until the underside is
golden brown, about 1 1/2
minutes, adjusting the heat
as needed so the latkes
don’t burn. Turn and cook
the other side. Transfer to
the paper towels to drain
briefly. It is best to serve
each batch immediately
after draining. If you wish,
use two skillets to keep
them coming at a fast pace.
Sprinkle the latkes with
confectioners’
sugar.
Serve at once with the sour
cream passed on the side.
Purple Potato Presents
with Black Olive and
Tomato Relish
From Chad Nathan.
Makes about 6–8 servings.
Chad calls his latkes
“presents” because on the
outside they look golden
brown, just like any other
latke, but when you bite
into them, the bright purple
color is revealed.
Purple Potato Presents
8 Peruvian purple potatoes,
peeled (about 2 pounds)
2 large eggs, beaten
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons chopped fresh
parsley
1/2 teaspoon fresh rosemary
4 garlic cloves, finely
chopped
2 teaspoons lemon zest
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground
black pepper
Flour, for dredging
3 eggs, beaten
2 cups plain panko, as needed
Olive oil, for frying

1 cup pitted Calamata olives,
coarsely chopped
1 pint cherry tomatoes,
halved
1/3 cup chopped fresh herbs,
such as rosemary, parsley,

DECEMBER 22 • 2005
The Aquarium AGE
The Week of December 22–28, 2005
Today is the Solstice, a day of real
magic that marks the turning point
between the dark and the light, the
liminal threshold between the old and
the new. For some of us it’s the true
New Year, and we rejoice as our
ancestors did in the Sun’s affirmation
of life. The Solstice is the template for
most of our modern seasonal rituals—
we light candles, bring trees into our homes, bake rich breads
to invite an abundant harvest for the coming year. It is a holy
day that everyone can celebrate because we are all alive on
the same planet, spinning in space around the same Sun, a
brilliant star that provides the fire and heat for life. The only
suggested Solstice rite is taking a break from the madness of
what has become the season of our dysfunction and finding a
few quiet moments to honor a shared primal passage. Unfortunately, finding time to honor anything except frayed and
frazzled nerves will require a miracle of determination. The
ongoing configuration between Saturn, Jupiter, Mars and
Neptune continues to add a grousing undertone to most interactions. This is not a jolly combination so don’t be dismayed
if you’re not in the mood. The Jupiter/Mars opposition
inclines toward premature action, and as Saturn squares both
Jupiter and Mars, that hastiness could have a ruthless, meanspirited edge. The Saturn/Neptune opposition tends toward
hypersensitivity and this week that could easily turn into
paranoia. The Jupiter square to both Saturn and Neptune is
likely to exaggerate a sense of personal injury, especially if
egos are involved. The Mars square to Saturn and Neptune
adds a paradoxical mixture of belligerence and collapse that
translates into a profusion of victims but an absence of the
necessary strength to take a stand for justice. Whew‚ I’m
exhausted just writing about it. This week, there just isn’t a
lot of room for ho-ho-hos, but just because the planets are
grumpy doesn’t mean we can’t use the power of that planetary friction for transformation. We are not subject to the
stars, and it’s important to remember that even if it’s impossible to write about astrology without implying that the stars
determine who we are and how we live. Earth is a free-will
planet, and we are always participating in the creative power
of choice. So as the next 10 days unfold, try to be as present
as possible for authentic opportunities for compassion for
yourself and others. It’s been a year of overwhelming intensity and it would be so helpful to so many if each of us could
end this year with genuine goodwill that’s grounded in the
real magic of peaceful behavior.
If you know your ascendant and/or your moon sign, read that too.

Being tried
enough‚” is essential to managing your energy well. Remember,
enthusiasm is important, but so is a steady, sustainable pace that
allows you to make tangible progress.
Taurus (April 20-May 20): Use the next 10 days to gather as
many loose ends as possible, for although the retrogrades are
over, there are still lots of details in need of attention. Spend your
time finishing up, and you will be amazed how your internal
resources are replenished.
Gemini (May 21-June 21): Rather than devolving into a litany of
what should happen, take a deep breath and attune to what is.
Yes, this threatens your need for a specific outcome, but letting
go will make room for true joy and happiness.
Cancer (June 22-July 22): It’s about perspective, so take the
time, no matter how busy you are, to step back and survey all
you’ve accomplished. Then, let that big picture help you to
decide the next step.
Leo (July 23-August 22): So many changes are happening so
quickly you’re in serious need of extra time and energy. Make
sure you remember to do what’s necessary to maintain your physical, mental, emotional and spiritual health and you’ll stay strong.
Virgo (August 23-September 22): The best way through is to be
assiduously honest with yourself about your intentions. Maintain
your integrity and you’ll prosper from the benefits of truth.
Libra (September 23-October 22): The emphasis is on trying to
be as objective as possible. And while it is never easy to be completely free from bias, if you’re determined to think before you
speak, you’ll find yourself negotiating sticky spots with skill.
Scorpio (October 23-November 21): You’re still learning to
combine work and play, and as part of that process you’re vacillating between intense exertion and deep relaxation. While the
swings between extremes are disconcerting, these lessons in energy management are worth it.
Sagittarius (November 22-December 21): Some people think
vulnerability is the way of the wuss‚ but to the wizards of heart
management, vulnerability is often the strongest stance possible.
When we live with an open heart, we live a life of intelligent
strength.
Capricorn (December 22-January 19): It’s time for you to renew
your passion and excitement about all the different projects
you’re involved with. So put aside that facade of indifference and
jump into enthusiastic participation.
Aquarius (January 20-February 18): You may feel as if you have
the tiger by the tail, but you might want to maintain a humble
approach while you’re attempting to handle that power. You’re
not in danger‚ you just don’t want to overreach and end up deflated instead of empowered.
Pisces (February 19-March 20): As you well know, sometimes a
situation has to break down before the perfect remedy for what
ails can be found. So don’t despair if life feels unstable. It is, but
that doesn’t mean it won’t rearrange itself in a better pattern.

‘Rumor Has It’ a Clever Twist on Classic Movie
I ‘The Graduate’ Gave Birth to Family Mystery
T
his story, they say, is
“based on a true rumor.” Truth and rumor? Does that sound cute?
Well, that’s not the half of
it. It seems Sarah (Jennifer
Aniston) has stumbled onto
a family secret. The book
and the subsequent film,
“The Graduate,” were
based on her family.
Her grandmother (Shirley MacLaine) was the
inspiration for Mrs. Robinson, and Sarah’s mother
was the Katherine Ross
character, Elaine, with the
exception that she didn’t
wind up with Dustin Hoffman’s character Benjamin
Braddock; she only had a
fling with him right before
she married Sarah’s father.
The fact that Sarah was
born a little less than nine
months after her parents’
wedding leads her to think
that possibly her biological
father might be Beau Burroughs (Kevin Costner).
After all, she doesn’t
resemble any of her family,
and she feels like the odd
man out, so to speak.
So, in the film “Rumor
Has It,” Sarah sets out to
find Beau and confront
was the truth might just be
a pile of lies. Who is she?
What is she looking for?
What does she want?
The generational family
dynamics play out in a fun
story that will have you
laughing out loud. This is
one of the cutest stories to
come along since, well,
“The Graduate.”
Although this film is
mainly set in Pasadena, there
is a strong Malibu connection, in addition to Malibuite
Aniston and ex-Malibuite
MacLaine having leading
roles. It was partially filmed
at the Saddleback Ranch in
the Malibu hills and at Leo
Carrillo State Beach.
MacLaine is at her best
as the sarcastic matriarch
with a colorful past, and
Ruffalo is adorable as the
loving boyfriend.
This is a fun and funny
film that closes the generation gap. And here’s to
you, Mrs. Robinson!
“Rumor Has It” is rated
PG-13 for mature thematic material, sexual content, crude humor and a
drug reference.
BY FRANCINE BROKAW
FAMILY SECRETS—Sarah, played by Jennifer Aniston,
seeks answers to questions about her family from
Shirley MacLaine’s character, Sarah’s grandmother and
the inspiration for Mrs. Robinson in “The Graduate.”
him with her question. Is he
her biological father? What
she doesn’t count on is that
Beau will sweep her off her
feet, and she will fall prey
to the same charms as her
grandmother and mother
did many years before.
It seems all the women in
her family cannot resist this
man, and Sarah discovers
that she is definitely part of
that family because she
ends up in the same pre-
dicament.
She is at a crossroads in
her life, with a career that
seems to be stagnating and
an impending walk down
the aisle she is not sure she
wants to take. Sure, Jeff
(Mark Ruffalo) is a wonderful guy, but does she
really want to get married?
In the span of less than a
week, Sarah’s entire life
gets turned upside down
and everything she thought

COPPED CASH
A Latigo Canyon resident reported the theft of
$1,200 cash from her
home on December 9
between 1:30 and 6 p.m.
The cash was kept in a
jewelry box on the top
shelf of the closet in the
master bedroom, and only
two other people knew of
its location.
The victim stated that a
carpet cleaning service
had been at the residence
during the time period
when the money was
taken. They had been
unsupervised and had
access to the master bedroom. The victim told the
deputy on the scene that
prior to his arrival, she had
contacted the carpet cleaning company and had been
unable to obtain any information about the workers
because the business was
closed for the day.

and they make the very best pets. Calm, loving, trained and healthy. Please give our wonderful
friends here a chance at love and life. Their time at the shelter is limited, they truly need an open

Ramirez Canyon Battles SMMC Hanukkah Latkes
(Continued from page 2)
Consequently, the matter was tabled. The
ZORACES is the acronym for the Malibu
Zoning Ordinance Revisions and Code
Enforcement Subcommittee.
ZORACES has, under the aegis of Jennings, become a powerful clearinghouse for
all issues related to planning and zoning,
including the LCP.
In many similar instances, Jennings has
offered to use the committee to review materials before and after they are taken under
submission by the planning commission.
(Continued from page 9)
The ZORACES also includes Councilmember Pamela Conley Ulich as a voting
member. Usually two planning commissioners, the chair and vice chair, traditionally sit
in on the meeting, but are not formal members nor do they have any voting privileges.
After council deliberations, Ramirez residents pronounced themselves pleased by the
city council’s actions and indicated the city’s
direction might help them in an upcoming
court hearing.

Point Pathways in Contention
(Continued from page 2)
just window dressing.”
“I don’t think we need them,” said Dixie
Moore, who suggested the routes were more
determined by where city officials lived
than other conditions.
Moore said the same thing could be
accomplished if the city took back its rightof-way where it had been encroached upon
by property owners.
“We don’t need them, especially on Point
Dume, if the city enforced the encroachments. The city won’t respond to complaints,” she added.
Approximately 60 people who met
recently were told the pathways were previously approved by the city council, and
money was already obtained for the construction of the routes, which were scheduled to be built by the end of the summer of
2006.
The walkways would be installed on one
side of the street, not on both sides. The reason is traffic safety for pedestrians. One of
the issues is a lack of roadway delineation,
according to one of the city’s consultants.
The pathways would be built on the east
side of Dume Drive from Heathercliff to
Grayfox and then on the south side of
Grayfox where walkways exist, according
to planners. The pathways would also connect from Fernhill to Wildlife on the west
side of the street.
“It is similar to the pathways on Morning
View Drive,” said the consultant. The Malibu Park pathway, which was built from the
high school along Morning View Drive to
Guernsey, was built without the controversy that has dogged the proposal on Point
Dume.
Point Dume activist John Mazza said the
real issue on Point Dume is the parking. “A
survey done several years ago indicated the
citizens did not want sidewalks. It is an old
survey, but a new one is needed,” he added.
“There are pollution problems in our gullies. We need to study if [creosote from]
railroad ties will leach into the gullies,” he
said.

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
Position a rack in the center of the oven and preheat
the oven to 200. Line a baking sheet with paper
towels. Boil potatoes in salted water until tender.
Drain, then put through a food mill, or beat in an
electric mixer with the paddle attachment. Then
transfer to a large bowl.
Add the eggs, flour and remaining seasonings. Mix
well. When cool enough to handle, shape into thick
patties about 2-inches in diameter and 1/2 inch thick
like a hockey puck).
Set up the flour in a shallow dish, the eggs in
another shallow dish, and the panko in a third shallow
dish. Dredge the presents in the flour, egg, and then
panko. Set aside.
Add enough oil to a large, deep skillet to come 1/2inch up the sides. Do not skimp! Heat oil over
medium-high heat until very hot, but not smoking. In
batches without crowding, fry the presents, turning
once, until deep golden brown on both sides. Use a
slotted spatula to transfer to the baking sheet. When all
presents are ready, bake in the oven for 4-6 minutes
more if needed.
While the presents are frying, prepare the relish. To
make the relish, combine all of the ingredients and
season with the salt and pepper. Let stand at room
temperature. (The relish can be made up to one day
ahead, covered and refrigerated. Bring to room
temperature before serving.)
Serve the presents hot, with the relish on the side.
