Heather-Durand Fence Discussed: THIS AFTERNOON!
See Proposed Fence Design for Heather & Durand - at 6:00 TONIGHT!
The
dangerous drop off at Heather and Durand has caution signs put up by
the City. These signs were never meant to be permanent. The City
promised to install a tasteful fence along that curb (hopefully right
in front of the actual curb) to prevent another disastrous fall like
the one that happened a few years ago. Brian Lane, architect, designer
and board member of the Hollywoodland Specific Plan Design Review Board
is ready with the design that will eventually be presented to the City.
Would you like to see it? This afternoon is your opportunity to do so.
The DRB meets in the Village Coffee Shop at 6:00 pm. These
meetings/hearings are always public and neighbors are usually very
respectful of meeting protocol. For more info, call our hotline
323-462-1514.

BCNA & HHA WIN APPEALS!
 As you recall, the Beachwood Canyon Neighborhood Assn and the
Hollywoodland Homeowners Assn felt the need to appeal the approval of
the Zoning Administration that would have allowed several huge retaining walls
to be included in a planned structure at 6041 Rodgerton. Through many meetings and hearings, it was suggested that the architect reduce the size of the
structure, change the footprint and how the structure would sit on the
small steep parcel thus doing away with the need for such massive
retaining walls. No such alterations took place so on Tuesday afternoon, the
L.A. Area Planning Commission heard testimony from the architect as well as leaders from the community. Hours later, the APC voted
unanimously to support both appeals. Commissioner White said that his
deep concern was that granting this exception to the retaining wall
ordinance would set a precedent that would have far reaching
implications. Thanks, Commissioner White, for hearing our concerns and
for the wisdom to make your point to the other two commissioners.
Angels that deserve a medal for their hard work (not in any particular order):
Christine O'Brien - Design Review Board

In Loving Memory
He was 18+ years old. Moving was a struggle
that he rarely complained about - slower and more deliberate
through the years, he was, afterall, our oldest cat.
He somehow got out of our
courtyard on Saturday night and took his last walk. Coyotes don't do
what they do out of hatred - tell that to our hearts. We will miss you,
Pappa.
