CA-105 Location: Griffith Park, 4730 Crystal Springs Drive, Los Angeles, Los Angeles County, California. Latitude: 34.133970 Longitude: -118.288494 (center of picnic area, iTouchMaps.com) Griffith Park is a 4,310 acre, Los Angeles city park in the Los Feliz area of Los Angeles, California. The park is located 6 miles northwest of downtown Los Angeles, at the eastern end of the Santa Monica Mountains. The north and east borders of the park are adjacent to the 134 Freeway (Ventura), and the 5 Freeway (Golden State). The south border is Los Feliz Boulevard, but including the Municipal Plunge and playground, south of the boulevard, and to the west are the residences of the Los Feliz and the Hollywood Hills areas. Significance: Griffith Park is Los Angeles Historic Cultural Monument No. 942, adopted on January 27, 2009. Colonel Griffith J. Griffith donated the 3,015-acre property to the City of Los Angeles in 1896, and still it remains the largest private land gift for Los Angeles, and has mostly an untouched landscape in the center of an urban metropolis. Large portions of this landscape appear to retain integrity dating back to the period of native American land use. Within the park are some of the city’s most iconic treasures – Griffith Observatory and the Hollywood Sign, also Historic Cultural Monuments, as well as the Feliz Adobe, and a Gabrielino Indian site.1 Griffith Park Zoo (Old Zoo) was built in 1913, and is “inset at the north-facing base of hills forming Spring Canyon, below Old Zoo Trail.”2 The zoo closed in 1966 with the opening of the Los Angeles Zoo.

  • A SCOTTISH GOLF PIONEER DEVELOPS the WEST in AMERICA by Dean Knuth William Watson Circa 1920 at Age 60 William Watson Was An
    A SCOTTISH GOLF PIONEER DEVELOPS THE WEST IN AMERICA GOLF COURSE ARCHITECT WILLIAM WATSON 1860-1941 By Dean Knuth William Watson Circa 1920 at age 60 William Watson was an early pioneer in golf course architecture who immigrated from Fife, Scotland to America in 1898. In a successful career he had designed more than 100 golf courses by his retirement in 1929 when the Great Depression began. Many golfers know of Donald Ross and Alister Mackenzie but haven’t heard of Watson, yet many of his courses have survived close to a century or more. Minikahda Club in Minnesota was his first U.S. design and also his first job as head golf professional. He was prolific and a success in California. A number of his other best-known designs have hosted major USGA and PGA National Championships, including Harding Park, San Diego Country Club, the original Brentwood Country Club, Diablo Country Club, Berkeley Country Club and Orinda Country Club. He designed the original The Olympic Club Lake and Ocean courses plus many others which unfortunately did not survive housing developments on land that became more valuable as America grew. He was guided by the primary goal of maintaining naturalness in his designs. Watson wrote:, “A good rule is to stress the importance of fitting in all grading work to harmonize with the surrounding territory, mounds, slopes, grassy hollows, sand pits, all have their values in beautifying the setting of our greens and in giving them distinctive definition — if artificially arranged without appearance of artificiality.” He also believed that a course is more interesting if every green has a character all its own, giving the player something besides the flag to view in approaching the hole.

    APPENDIX C Aesthetics and Visual Resources: Sensitive Public Views of the PMPU Area 1 Critical views for impact evaluations conducted for aesthetics and visual resources, as addressed in 2 Section 3.1, Aesthetics and Visual Resources, are defined as those sensitive public views that would be 3 most affected by a proposed action, such as the greatest intensity of impact due to viewer proximity to a 4 project, the project’s visibility, and the duration of the affected view. The analyses are based on “worst- 5 case” circumstances of maximum proposed Program exposure to the most sensitive public views. It is a 6 premise of the technical approach that the range of critical public views potentially affected by the 7 proposed Program should be represented by the views chosen for analysis. This appendix presents an 8 initial consideration of sensitive public views of the PMPU area which are critical to the assessment of 9 impacts on aesthetics and visual resources within this area. 10 The region of influence for the aesthetics/visual resources impact analysis includes the Port, the Port of 11 Long Beach, and sensitive land uses near these ports (e.g., parks, beaches, tourist facilities, and residential 12 areas). Communities within the region include San Pedro, Rancho Palos Verdes, Wilmington, and Long 13 Beach. These points are located on all but the east side of the PMPU area. The sections below describe 14 views from all potentially critical view areas relative to the PMPU area, with the list of views most 15 relevant to impact evaluations for the PEIR representing a subset of all areas, as presented in Section 16 3.1.2.2, PMPU Area.
