Guests attended tonight's meeting via Zoom. Those who made public comments are listed under the appropriate Item below. 3. AGENDA REVIEW -There were no changes to tonight's Agenda. 4. PUBLIC STATEMENTS (ITEMS NOT ON THE AGENDA) Local resident Sharon Simpson regularly takes her Labradoodle to the Simi Dog Park. The middle section is fenced off for new sod, this is the 2nd time now. She feels money would be better utilized towards the sprinklers as opposed to constantly replacing sod. John Deschene, a Pickleball player from Oak Park, is requesting additional space for courts. Pickleball is very popular in Oak Park and it would be beneficial to have additional courts to accommodate all players. Gary Gossett is contracted to provide Pickle ball lessons on Tuesdays and Wednesdays in Simi Valley. Currently, all classes are full and they are looking to add an additional night. With vaccinations, people are now coming out in large numbers. He suggested making Rancho Tapo Community Park more playable by improving the lighting and/or allow more court usage at the Rancho Simi Community Park. Pickleball player, Gina, suggested portable nets at the Rancho Simi Community Park as 2 of the tennis courts are rarely used. She agrees with the previous speaker regarding lighting at Rancho Tapo Community Park, adding it is dangerous to use the restrooms in the evening, it is very dark and scary. Local resident Lindsey Palladino thanked the Board for listening to their suggestions. She agrees with the previous speakers. Improving the lighting at Rancho Tapo Community Park and additional nets at the Rancho Simi Community Park would be a quick fix. She added, in order to grow the sport, you have to grow the court. I 4 unapproved Oak Park resident David M. suggested more dedicated hours for pickle ball at the very least. All courts are overly full and more dedicated hours or even courts could be useful. Pickleball player Nancy Cheek agrees with the previous speakers. Currently all courts are maxed out and the players need additional court time or space. In response to Ms. Simpson's comments, Director of Planning and Maintenance Nakaoka stated Staff has replaced 1/3 of the sod since the Dog Park has been open. This takes place in Spring/Summer to keep the grass looking good. Chair Dennert suggested a Staff member reach out to Sharon Simpson to address her items. District Manager Paranick advised interim Director of Recreation Danielle June to reach out to the pickleball community and see what can be done. June added additional nets have already been purchased but the chalking still needs to be done. Director Freeman understands the pickleball players issues and concerns. The District has been attempting to balance time between the tennis and pickleball players. 5. APPROVAL OF MINUTES a.

  • 4.8 Hydrology and Water Quality
    January 2018 CHAPTER 4 Environmental Analysis SECTION 4.8 Hydrology and Water Quality 4.8 HYDROLOGY AND WATER QUALITY This section of the EIR analyzes the potential environmental effects on hydrology and water quality from implementation of the proposed project. Data for this section were taken from the Glendale Emergency Plan, Glendale General Plan Safety Element Technical Background Report, the EPA, and Upper Los Angeles River Watershed Watermaster. Full reference-list entries for all cited materials are provided in Section 4.8.5 (References). 4.8.1 Environmental Setting Surface Water The proposed SGCP area is within the Los Angeles River watershed, which includes 834 square miles of Los Angeles County. The eastern portion of the watershed spans from the Santa Monica Mountains to the Simi Hills and in the west from the Santa Susana Mountains to the San Gabriel Mountains. The watershed encompasses and is shaped by the Los Angeles River. The river flows adjacent to the western and southern borders of the proposed SGCP area in a concrete lined channel. The upper portion of the watershed (Upper Los Angeles River Watershed), where the proposed SGCP area is located, contains a network of flood control dams and debris basins that flow to the Los Angeles River (LACDPW 2016). The Upper Los Angeles River watershed is home to approximately 2.3 million people, mostly in high density development in the interior valleys and foothills. Precipitation within the Upper Los Angeles River watershed typically falls in a few major storm events between November and March to an average of 19 inches per year.

  • Three Chumash-Style Pictograph Sites in Fernandeño Territory
    THREE CHUMASH-STYLE PICTOGRAPH SITES IN FERNANDEÑO TERRITORY ALBERT KNIGHT SANTA BARBARA MUSEUM OF NATURAL HISTORY There are three significant archaeology sites in the eastern Simi Hills that have an elaborate polychrome pictograph component. Numerous additional small loci of rock art and major midden deposits that are rich in artifacts also characterize these three sites. One of these sites, the “Burro Flats” site, has the most colorful, elaborate, and well-preserved pictographs in the region south of the Santa Clara River and west of the Los Angeles Basin and the San Fernando Valley. Almost all other painted rock art in this region consists of red-only paintings. During the pre-contact era, the eastern Simi Hills/west San Fernando Valley area was inhabited by a mix of Eastern Coastal Chumash and Fernandeño. The style of the paintings at the three sites (CA-VEN-1072, VEN-149, and LAN-357) is clearly the same as that found in Chumash territory. If the quantity and the quality of rock art are good indicators, then it is probable that these three sites were some of the most important ceremonial sites for the region. An examination of these sites has the potential to help us better understand this area of cultural interaction. This article discusses the polychrome rock art at the Burro Flats site (VEN-1072), the Lake Manor site (VEN-148/149), and the Chatsworth site (LAN-357). All three of these sites are located in rock shelters in the eastern Simi Hills. The Simi Hills are mostly located in southeast Ventura County, although the eastern end is in Los Angeles County (Figure 1).

The closest groundwater basin is the San Fernando Valley Groundwater Basin of the South Coast Hydrologic Region (4-12), located to the west of the Project site. The basin is approximately 226 square miles and is bounded on the north and northwest by the Santa Susana Mountains, on the north and northeast by the San Gabriel Mountains, on the east by the San Rafael Hills, on the south by the Santa Monica Mountains and Chalk Hills, and on the west by the Simi Hills (DWR, 2004). Regional Geology The Project site is located in the northwestern portion of the Transverse Range Geomorphic Province in the southwestern part of California. The region is separated by an east-west trending series of steep mountain ranges and valleys, sub-parallel to faults branching from the San Andreas Fault. The Project site resides in the portion of the Province drained by the Los Angeles River.

  • Malibu Coast California
    AMERICAN VITICULTURE AREA PETITION FOR MALIBU COAST CALIFORNIA WRITTEN & SUBMITTED BY RALPH JENS CARTER ON BEHALF OF THE WINE GRAPE GROWERS OF THE AREA INTRODUCTION The Malibu Coast proposed AVA is in southwestern Los Angeles County and southeast corner of Ventura County, California, and much of it lies within the Santa Monica Mountain National Recreational Area (SMMNRA) It is bounded on the north by Newbury Park, Greenwich Village, Thousand Oaks, Westlake Village, Agoura Hills and a total of about 20 urban development exits along the Highway 101 corridor. On the east lie the cities of Beverly Hills and Hollywood. To the south is the Pacific Ocean and on the west are the cities of Oxnard and Camarillo. The area is approximately 46 miles long and 8 miles wide. The Malibu Coast proposed AVA is comprised of privately owned lands evenly scattered throughout the SMMNRA and amounts to less than 53% of the land area within the Recreational Area. There are two pre-existing AVA's in the general area: Saddle Rock Malibu (2090 acres)and Malibu-Newton Canyon (850 acres). The Malibu Coast proposed AVA comprised approximately 94,060 acres of privately owned lands evenly scattered throughout the 182,000 acre Santa Monica Mountain Recreational Area. This equates to less than 53% of the land area within the Recreational Area. The Santa Monica Mountains are unique example of a mediterranean ecosystem. Mediterranean areas are close to the sea but usually also close to a considerable land mass. The Santa Monica Mountains have a history of continuous human occupation dating back more than 8000 years.
