Chicago-Based Lakeshore East President Mysterious Wanda Says He “Can’t Talk About” Anti-HH Funding Campaign Against Measure HH Grows Desperate By Victoria Talbot With residents choosing sides in the Measure HH campaign, the Courier continues to follow the money, which leads to Chicago, Illinois-based Lakeshore East Parcel P, LLC. Lakeshore East Parcel P has provided major funding toward the ‘No on HH campaign.’ The Courier called Dave Carlins, president of Lakeshore East, to ask why he was investing millions of dollars in the campaign to defeat an initiative for a hotel located in Beverly Hills. “We’re not making comment,” he said. When asked if he knew about Measure HH, Carlins

replied, “Sort of.” Why is a developer in Chicago spending millions on an initiative in Beverly Hills that does not affect his development?” the Pictured: The project allegedly funding the No on C o u r i e r HH campaign currently sits as an empty lot. asked. was coming from. “I can’t talk about it,” he The project that is allegedresponded. “But I can see why ly funding the No on HH camyou are asking.” paign broke ground Aug. 8.

By Victoria Talbot The Wanda Group, chaired by Wang Jianlin whose family is deeply entrenched in the Chinese Communist government, continues to make allegations about an American election. Representatives for the Wanda-owned One Beverly Hills project have

Beverly Hills School Leaders Mull Earlier School Year Start By Laura Coleman If the early bird truly does get the worm, then Beverly Hills students should soon corner the market. Next year school is slated to start Aug. 7, 2017. That summer date is more than a week earlier than this year’s start date for Beverly Hills students. Los Angeles Unified School District students are slated to start school on Aug. 22, 2017. Board of Education President Howard Goldstein said that the start date might shift back to Aug. 14, depending on how current negotiations between the district and the teachers’ union shape up. “We’re working to finalize an MOU to all of this,” he said, underscoring that both sides truly do want a later start date. For the past three school years, students have been starting school increasingly early in order to allow first semester instruction to end before winter break. However, parents and teach-

ers are increasingly speaking up against next year’s early start date. In response to a petition to change the 2017-18 BHUSD school calendar to start later, Beverly Hills Education Association President Telly Tse sent a mass e-email advocating his support for a later start date. “Like you, the parents and members of our community, we want...to start later,” he wrote. Tse alleged that even though both the school district and the union want school to start Aug. 14, the district’s contract negotiations team is holding that later start date “hostage” in order to not agree to the BHEA’s demand that the new contract state that class sizes for grades K-3 cannot exceed 21 students. Negotiations are scheduled to resume Monday. Other issues on the table include the rights of substitute teachers and allowing children of employees to attend BHUSD schools.

Beverly Hills Unified’s First District-Wide Science Fair Inspires Young Minds In STEM Endeavors By Laura Coleman What do a NASA scientist, an ex-mayor with 13 patents, a cardiac electrophysiologist and a molecular biologist all have in common? Answer: They were all judges at this year’s Beverly Hills Science Fair. Held Saturday at Beverly Hills High School, around 450 people came out to see the innovative projects of 162 students ranging from transitional kindergarten to seniors at Beverly Hills Unified’s first district-wide science fair. The event was funded through a $10,000 grant from the Beverly Hills Education Foundation and built upon last year’s pilot science fair at Beverly Vista, which also

included Horace Mann students. “The inaugural districtwide Science Fair promotes student involvement in STEM learning, for which BHEF has been instrumental,” said BHEF President Monique Gibbons. “We look forward to continuing our support in future years to come.” Former Horace Mann PTA President Tina Wiener, who helped organize the fair, said the goal is to establish “a longterm, annual event which will help establish a culture of science and hands on learning in our community.” In addition to the student projects, attendees enjoyed interactive science demonstra-

tions from local companies including Professor Egghead, Rolling Robots, Ucode, Star Ecostation, Sylvan and Mathnasium. Superintendent Steve Kessler, who served as a judge, said he was encouraged that the science fair had grown to include all five schools. Said Nathan Kruger, who co-founded the science fair: “The Beverly Hills Science Fair sets up our middle school and high school students to compete and win at the LA County and California State Science Fairs. Not only does this strengthen their college resume, it helps build BHUSD’s reputation as a leader in STEM education.”

329 North Rodeo Drive (IWC Schaffhausen) Architect: Ashok Vanmali (Gruen Associates). Property Owner: Metropole Realty Advisors For the Rodeo Drive flagship, IWC Schaffhausen debuted a new store concept inspired by the golden age of Hollywood. The Art Deco ambiance transports the customer back to the 1920’s and 1930’s with streamlined architectural details wrought from opulent materials. The 2,500– SF boutique is the perfect backdrop for the intricate watches of the Swiss luxury watchmaker.

Rotary Club Of Beverly Hills Raises More Than $1,000/Minute On Its Inaugural Project Day By Victoria Talbot In one hour, the Rotary Club of Beverly Hills raised enough money to send four orphans with Corazon de Vida to school all the way through a university education. The funds will also send 175 kids to visit their imprisoned parents in the Get on the Bus program with money left over to purchase “rain catchers” to capture much-needed rain water in Entebbe, Uganda and even more to provide financial support locally for the Maple Counseling Center. The event was “Project Day,” the brainstorm of Rotary Club President Adam Heller,

concentrating all the club’s efforts into one big day of signing up and donating funds for the club’s preferred charities. More than $100,000 was raised at the club’s Oct. 17 meeting. “I created the idea of Project Day to provide an opportunity for the members of the club to demonstrate their ability and willingness to serve those in need in a huge way,” he said. “Their kindness greatly exceeded my expectations.” Heller said. To learn more about Project Day, see the video at www.bhrotaryprojectday.com.

320 North Beverly Drive (Nespresso) Architect: Parisotto+Formenton Property Owner: Beverly-Dayton LLC The challenge of this boutique was to synthesize an international brand with a distinct local spirit. The architectural stepping off point is Southern California’s strong foundation of regional modernism. Just one block off of Rodeo Drive in the heart of Beverly Hill’s upscale shopping district, the boutique blends the language of early California Modernism with International flair and luxury retail design. To meet the building’s high profile context, the facade

announces and invites. Subtle shifts in finishes articulate different pockets of activity within

the open layout of the store, while still maintaining cohesion in the space. Patrons shift between stations sampling different flavors of the Nespresso product, finding delight, comfort and invitation in the variety of scales and spatial experiences they encounter. 401 North Rodeo Drive (Bulgari) Architect: Ashok Vanmali (Gruen Associates) Property Owner: Rodeo and Brighton LLC This 5,000 square foot jewelry boutique features a double height entrance inlaid with Veneziana terrazzo flooring, framed graphics in a puzzle arrangement, and topped with custom skylit Vistosi Giogali crystal link chandeliers impress upon arrival. Serpentine Ivory Encausto plaster walls blend seamlessly into Trani Chiaro stone wainscot providing a neutral background for the bronze framed wall cases. Outside, the façade gleams with screens of multi-sized metal leaves in three metallic paint finishes. LED vertical lanterns punctuate at night, while the glow from hidden horizontal LED cove lights wash the sculptural leaf panels and provide sparkle.

BHEF Launches No Excuses November Fundraiser By Laura Coleman In an effort to capture yearend donations from Beverly Hills public school parents, the Beverly Hills Education Foundation is launching “No Excuses November.” According to BHEF President Monique Gibbons, the new campaign seeks to inspire half of all parents to

contribute to the foundation. She estimated that less than 30 percent of all of Beverly Hills Unified School District parents now donate to the foundation. “The idea is really to increase parent participation. We need people to ante up,” she said. Last year, the BHEF raised approximately $500,000,

which was used to fund multiple after school programs at the K-8 schools, extracurricular programs at the high school, 13 walk-on coaches for the athletics program, and recently, two teachers on special assignment to help K-8 teachers integrate technology into student learning.

Construction Tragedies Highlight Local Safety Concerns By Matt Lopez Two construction incidents this week highlighted safety concerns surrounding West L.A. development. First, a construction worker at a Bel-Air home died last Friday after falling 50 feet into a well. Days later, on Wednesday, delivery truck driver was rescued after falling into a 50-foot deep excavation at a construction site in Beverly Crest, just outside of Beverly Hills. Wednesday’s incident came in at about 8:40 a.m. in the 1600 block of San Ysidro

Drive, the Los Angeles Fire Department said. According to CBS Los Angeles, a 30-year-old delivery driver was pulled to safety at around 9:35 a.m. and treated for cuts. LAFD Spokesman Brian Humphrey told CBS that the man “apparently stepped on plywood covering one of several deep holes on the property... he fell as many as 50 feet down the 24-inch diameter hole, landing feet first on compacted soil.” Reports came in late Friday (see ‘CONSTRUCTION’ page 16)

Beverly Hills Police Warn Of More Phone Scammers

By Matt Lopez Beverly Hills residents are once again being targeted with another phone scam, according to a release from the Beverly Hills Police Department. The scammers claim to be representatives from either the Los Angeles Police Department of L.A. County Sheriff’s Department, calling to tell the resident that either there’s a warrant out for their arrest, or they’re subject to a federal investigation regarding a failure to appear for jury duty.

This project has been assessed in accordance with the authority and criteria contained in the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), the State CEQA Guidelines, and the environmental regulations of the City. The City of Beverly Hills has prepared a Final Supplemental Environmental Impact Report (Final SEIR) to analyze potential environmental impacts associated with development of the project. Specifically, the Final SEIR analyzes the following potential environmental effects of the project: • • • •

Greenhouse Gas Emission Land Use Planning Transportation/Traffic Utilities and Service Systems

• Air Quality • Noise • Mandatory Findings of Significance

The City Council will consider the Final SEIR, and may adopt a resolution certifying the Final SEIR, adopting a Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program, and adopting a Statement of Overriding Considerations. The City Council will also consider whether to conditionally approve the Specific Plan Amendments and proposed Development Agreement. At a Special Meeting on October 19, 2016, the Planning Commission of the City of Beverly Hills adopted a resolution recommending that the City Council adopt amendments to the 9900 Wilshire Specific Plan (also known as the One Beverly Hills Project) and associated development agreement between the City and Wanda Beverly Hills Properties, LLC to allow luxury residential condominiums, a luxury boutique hotel, public gardens, and ancillary commercial uses, at 9900 Wilshire Boulevard and made a recommendation to certify the Final SEIR under CEQA. At the public hearing, the City Council will hear and consider all comments. All interested persons are invited to attend and speak on this matter. Written comments may also be submitted and should be addressed to the City Council, c/o City Clerk, 455 N. Rexford Drive, Beverly Hills, CA 90210. The comments should be received prior to the hearing date. Please note that if you challenge the Council’s action in regards to this matter 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, either at or prior to the public hearing. If there are any questions regarding this notice, please contact Andre Sahakian, Associate Planner in the Beverly Hills Community Development Department at 310.285.1127, or by email at asahakian@beverlyhills.org. Copies of the project application and associated documents are on file in the Community Development Department and can be reviewed by any interested person at 455 N. Rexford Drive, Beverly Hills, California 90210. The Final SEIR and other environmental documents related to the project can be accessed at the City’s website at www.beverlyhills.org/environmental.

JEM—Jewish Beverly Hills High students this week were able to fulfill the biblical commandment (Mitzvah) to partake in a Sukkah (hut). Directly across the front lawn of Beverly Hills High School was a Sukkah welcoming all students with constant snacks, and refreshments. Pictured: Rivka Serraf holding baby Chaya Mushka in her arms saying the blessing with sophomore, Sabrina Bohbot.

According to resident reports, the scammers will ask for $2,000-2,500 in “MoneyPak” prepaid cards in order to have the charges dropped. The BHPD, nor any government agency, will ever call and solicit money for fines. Residents are advised to never give personal information to anyone over the phone. Anyone who has received similar calls should contact the State Department of Consumer Affairs at 800-593-8222.

WANDA

(continued from page 1)

Registrar-Recorder states: “Numerous individuals in Beverly Hills have fraudulently registered to vote from an address that is not their true domicile.” The allegation singles out three individuals who registered in 2007, 2012 and 2014. The complaint attempts to connect these individuals with the Yes on HH campaign even though all three registered long before there was a proposal to change the City Council and voter-approved 2008 Beverly Hilton Specific Plan. It also provides a list of over 300 others who have no direct connection, admits One Beverly Hills spokesperson Adam Englander, who sent out a press release on the allegations last week. Englander does not know the 331 individuals, who or what they support, where they live, or if they are voting or have voted in Beverly Hills, he further admits. The 331 names are voters who have used post office boxes to register, many of them women. Now, their phone numbers have been made public solely in an attempt to discredit the Yes on HH campaign. Englander has accused Hilton representatives of organized voter registration at Yes on HH events. According to Hilton spokesperson Marie Garvey, no organized registration occurred. He further criticized the Yes on HH campaign for providing election-related material, such as vote-bymail applications. The Courier has confirmed that the Wanda Group purchased time on Farsi-language television and radio stations during which Planning Commission Chair Joe Shooshani translates the English spoken by Beverly Hills Mayor John Mirisch into Farsi during multiple 30-minute interview spots for No on HH. However, bilingual English-Farsi-speaking residents say the translations are filled with inaccuracies to discredit the Hilton Initiative. In addition to Mirisch’s paid television spots attacking Measure HH, Mirisch has taken to openly arguing with HH supporters via social media. In one Facebook discussion that took place on the Beverly Hills High School Alumni page over a three-day period, Mirisch became increasingly testy as he repeatedly engaged Nicole and Dani Nism, 20 and 23-year old sisters who support the initiative. At one point Mirisch curiously likened their support to Donald Trump’s campaign for president. “Feel free to call me a ‘Christ killer’ and a dirty Jew,” he wrote in one exchange verified by the Courier. Notwithstanding the sisters’ Israeli nationality, Mirisch writes that the sisters’ comments, “Are a reflection of you and your upbringing. I’m proud not to represent the likes of you.” “Seems. . . you’ve gotten confused from all the free food and drink at the Hilton’s events,” he taunts. When the sisters fail to engage, Mirisch repeatedly asks: “So you haven’t eaten any of the Hilton’s free food or drunk any of the Hilton’s free beverages?” Nicole Nism eventually responds: “Wait, didn’t Wanda take you out to dinner just last week??” She is referring to Mirisch joining Wanda Chairman Wang Jianlin on his trip to Hollywood last week where he attempted to lure American film production to his facilities in China with a 40percent rebate. Mirisch cancelled his City-duties to be with the chairman’s entourage. The Facebook conversation is available in screenshots on the Courier website. Recently, Measure HH supports hosted a neighborhood event at a private home on Roxbury Drive where around 65 friends listened intently as Hilton owner Beny Alagem addressed the crowd. At a question and answer that followed Alagem’s presentation, the first question asked was, ”Why is Wanda so opposed to the Hilton?” “I don’t know,” replied Alagem.

of an incident at 908 N. Bel-Air Road. The Los Angeles Fire Department responded and immediately and declared the man to be beyond medical help and pronounced him dead at the scene. According to the LAFD, the 27year-old man was being lowered into a

50-foot well when he fell. The worker has not yet been identified. According to a tweet from the LAFD, the worker was seen motionless, floating face down inside the sump well. The incident brings to light whether such massive hillside projects like 908 N. Bel Air Road need more stringent

safety rules, which the new Bel-Air Association board has long been fighting for. Both the BAA and Bel-Air Alliance have raised concerns over construction issues, building standards, the use of unstable sites and dangerous hillside construction for years. The narrow Bel-Air streets, BAA Board Chair Marcia Hobbs said, are

BEVERLY HILLS blocked by food trucks and parked construction vehicles with no regard for resident access to their own streets and driveways and city of Los Angeles enforcement officials has often been slow to respond. The packed streets leave little to no room for emergency vehicles to safely pass through.

Gibbons underscored that it was important for parents to donate both to the PTAs as well as the BHEF. Founded in 1978, the non-profit educational foundation is the oldest of its kind in Southern California, and is mandated to enhance educational opportunities throughout the district. “The money all goes to the kids,” Gibbons said. The BHEF suggests that parents donate $500 per student, but welcomes any amount. For more information, visit www.bhef.org.

Tomorrow’s Friendly House Luncheon To Raise Funds, Awareness For Alcoholism By Laura Coleman For centuries, the intoxicating effects of alcohol have robbed the very souls of men and women who simply cannot get a handle on their addiction. But it wasn’t until too long ago that society actually acknowledged that women could also fall victim to the disease of alcoholism. To that end, in 1951 Bea Jorgensen founded Friendly House in Los Angeles, the nation’s first alcohol treatment center for women. Tomorrow, the Peggy Albrecht Friendly House (recently renamed for its eponymous director of the past 33 years), will hold its 27th annual awards luncheon at The Beverly Hilton. The event will honor Linell and Robert Shapiro with the “Humanitarian Award” and Katey Sagal with the “Woman of the Year Award.”

The program, which boasts a 78percent successful recovery rate, is relatively simple in theory, explained Friendly House director Peggy Albrecht. Women learn how to change their habits in order to find ways to lead happy, productive lives without drugs or alcohol. “We treat each woman as an individual,” she explained. “It brings the woman to an awarenesss of self to be a better a person.” Guided by the premise that “every woman should have a chance to fight the disease of alcoholism and find a new sense of dignity, integrity and selfesteem,” Albrecht sets an example of service with compassion and tolerance. Tickets to attend tomorrow’s luncheon fundraiser are still available. For information, visit http://friendlyhousela.org.

Astrology

by Holiday Mathis TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Oct. 28). The thing you wanted to make your own will finally be yours. Happiness! But wait—working out the maintenance plan is key through the next 10 weeks. There’s a don't-miss investment opportunity in November. A family victory will happen because of you in January. Lifestyle upgrades happen in August. Sagittarius and Aquarius adore you. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). There’s a clown in every class. You’re the one who makes people laugh and smile with a muchneeded disruption. Of course, half the grace of clowning is knowing when to get off the joke. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Love takes on many forms. Sometimes love looks like people debating, competing or ignoring one another, as offering comment, opposition or space can be an extremely loving act. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You’re still forming a habit and it’s

still hard, but don’t worry. It will be hard tomorrow and the next day, too. One day you'll wake up and it won’t be hard anymore. It will just be who you are. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Your enthusiasm for life will attract different responses from different people. Some may go mild, or laugh, or walk away. Others may finance your dreams. PISCES (Feb. 19-Mar. 20). You should be the one to organize the gathering. Along with your common-sense approach to socializing, you have an added psychic sense that makes your invite list a perfect mix. ARIES (Mar. 21-Apr. 19). When to speak and when the unspoken says more; when to open and when to close the door; when rhyming’s good and when to make the words not sound alike at all: You’ll sense these things and more today. TAURUS (Apr. 20-May 20). It’s the same with the peacocks and the toads and the pufferfish, this instinct to make yourself bigger to discourage those who threaten you and encourage those you desire. It doesn’t work every day, but today it will. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You’ve told this story before, and didn’t

like how it played. Don’t blame yourself. It's not the story. It’s yours, and it's good. It just needs some tweaking. Answer this: What do you want them to feel at the end? CANCER (June 22-July 22). When you really give it thought, you despise the idea that so many are rallying behind. You can’t take on every injustice, but this accepted part of the backdrop is now bothering you too much for you to remain passive. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You’re optimistic. You don’t want to hear sad stories—i.e., any story you can’t do anything about. However, avoid trying to turn the story around. Don’t twist it into taffy or spin it into cotton candy. Leave it be. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Destruction is a positive force for you. You’ll tear down the fixture causing you stress and build in its place something functional, lovely and reflective of the real you. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Everyone is promoting an agenda. Most are doing so unconsciously. Here’s where you’ll have an edge today. Promote consciously, no apologies. You can feel good about going for what you want.

Joan Mangum Barbara Lazaroff hosted a luncheon at Spago to benefit Aviva Family and Children’s Services, a leading nonprofit service for Los Angeles atrisk children and families. Attendees were a part of Aviva’s Platinum Associates, a dynamic group of people who are dedicated to making a difference in the lives of local at-risk youth. Since its inception in 2001, the Platinum Associates have raised more than $1 million in support of Aviva’s Wallis Annenberg Residential Treatment Program while increasing awareness of Aviva’s work. For the last three years, Aviva Family and Children’s Services has worked jointly with the Youth in action Film Collaboration (YAFC). Started by nonprofit entrepreneur Jason Lesner, YAFC is a unique and creative collaboration between at-risk teens and film industry professionals that inspires and engages foster youth. For many young people who have faced adversity, possibilities can seem limited. YAFC is a grassroots community service project focused on creating an opportunity for at-risk youth to experience anything that is possible through filmmaking. Film and television professionals from shows like Modern Family, The Mindy Project, New Girl, Chasing Life, and Robot Chicken came together this summer for an all-new production: helping at-risk foster youth create script and direct their own original film shorts. In attendance for the meal prepared by Chefs Tetsu Yahagi and Della Gossett were Cheryl Saban, Robin Broidy, Katherine Baumann, Dr. Robin Unger, Laura Baron, Bucky Hazan, Jackie Applebaum, Dina Leeds, Jill Black Zalben, Tonya Winfield, Sharon Feldstein, Nina Oberfeld, Nancy Stephens, Louise Masin Sattler, among others. Congratulations to event co-chairs Laura Alpert, Leslie Kavanaugh, and Susan Rothenberg for a very special luncheon.

NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder's office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call (714) 848-9272 or visit this Internet Web site www.elitepostandpub.co m, using the file number assigned to this case 1537806. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Web site. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale.

CULTURE OF CORRUPTION

BEVERLY HILLS

The Courier’s Endorsements Vote-by-mail ballots are now arriving in the homes of voters for the Nov. 8 election. This week, the Courier offers endorsements for a selection of races and measures. Measure HH (Hilton Initiative): Yes In addition to a new 26-story building at the City’s gateway, “yes on HH” means a new 1.7 acre garden that will be open to the public (the covanent has been recorded by the county) and will bring $33 million in additional revenue on top of all the previously guaranteed development fees. All that, with no additional impacts. Measure M (Metro transportation sales tax): No Even Metro admits this is a “forever tax.” We cannot support a beauracry that is self-sustaning for its own purpose. Measure M creates an approximately $860 million annual tax bill for transportation projects that we may never see come to fruition in our lifetime. Measure Y (school building bond): Yes Beverly Hills schools are in desperate need of renovation and a yes on Measure Y ensures that our children are learning in the safest, most modern schools. L.A.

BEVERLY HILLS

Chairman Emeritus Paula Kent Meehan President & Publisher Marcia Wilson Hobbs ****** Senior Editor John L. Seitz Special Sections Editor Stephen P. Simmons

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Feeling very blessed, some 45 years ago, my family and I chose to settle in Beverly Hills because of its quality of life, low rise buildings, and benign traffic. Beverly Hills’ long established zoning laws restrict our City’s buildings to 3-stories, with a maximum height of 45 feet. However, for the past decade, developers with distinctive access and influence have received special favors from our City Council to build much taller buildings. We were told the 9-story Montage would be a one-off exception. Subsequently, the City Council approved a 16-story hotel, along with two condominium towers of 18 and 8-stories on the Hilton site. The City also approved two condo towers of 16 and 13-stories on the Robinsons-May site. The wanton disregard of our 45 foot height limit will change our City’s landscape and quality of life forever. It will also undermine our confidence in the institution of our City Council and elected officials. It has put into question their judgement, if not, their integrity. The former City Councilmembers responsible, had essentially created two sets of rules: one for those developers who had the ability to hire former councilmember lobbyists with access to our City officials, and a second for the people who didn’t have such access or influence. This is cronyism–at its worst! Spot zoning results in poor City planning, and sets a bad precedent. Since the 9-story Montage building was approved, the flood gates have opened, with a slew of developers seeking hi-rises. Developers argue they need the extra height to “pencil out” their projects. I’m sorry, but nobody put a gun to their heads to buy the property, nor did anyone force them to over-pay for their property! They knew full well what the zoning allows, and overpaying for a property should not be the City’s concern. Developers have figured out that spending money on lobbyists with ties to the City Council (or seeking a hi-rise zone change through a voter initiative) is infinitely more advantageous and lucrative than abiding by our 45 foot height limit. This puts all law abiding people at a significant disadvantage. A height advantage substantially increases a project’s value by allowing better positioning and views. This is not about competition. I personally relish the competition as long as the playing field is level for everyone. Cronyism and spot zoning are unfair and short-sighted to the detriment of the community. It is time for the “Manhattanization” of Beverly Hills to be put on hold, as we try to bring some sanity to the hi-rise train wreck! Skyscraper plans must be set aside until the community, as a whole, decides whether or not hi-rises are the direction we want to pursue for our future generations. And, should the community prefer hi-rise buildings, then let us study this matter methodically, receive all stakeholders’ input, and amend our City’s General Plan to reflect the peoples’ will. Some say the City will receive much needed revenues from the new hi-rise projects. If hirises are so beneficial, why not up-zone all of the City’s commercial zones to say, 8, 18, or 26 stories? Of course, I don’t think anyone wants that, because our infrastructure is unable to handle such burden. It is only right that the City provide zoning clarity for developers, but let’s not have a checkerboard of hi-rises in the City, without proper planning. To the best of my knowledge, none of the current owners/developers of the proposed hirises projects live in Beverly Hills; they simply don’t have the same kind of stake in our community, or appreciation for our way of life. Allowing spot zoning and enrichment by carpetbaggerdevelopers to shape our City’s future is reckless, and could eventually reduce our property values. Let us be grateful for the blessings we have in our City’s beautiful tree-lined streets, and for our quality of life. Let us have clarity of mind, and not forget that we are stewards of our community for the benefit of future generations. Robert Zarnegin ****** The Los Angeles Times wrote a recent article about the intentional inaccuracy of Metro’s traffic reduction predictions. Metro again is making false promises (just as it told our City that the new subway route would traverse Santa Monica Boulevard, omitting until the last minute that it would instead go under our City’s only high school). Now with their proposed “Measure M” (a sales tax increase that would last forever and is dubbed “the forever tax”), Metro intentionally hides the ball from the voters that their 15 percent projected traffic reduction won't occur, if at all, until 2057! Still again, Metro spent $1.5 billion on the Expo line with the promise of a significant reduction of traffic on the 10, and it clearly hasn't materialized. Metro is wasting $200-$300 million of our tax money to move its proposed station in Century City one block to cater to local developers. Metro is also spending billions to build numerous stations throughout LA with no parking at all (including two stops in Beverly Hills with zero parking). We are talking about handing this agency billions of our sales tax dollars when they haven't delivered on past promises, mislead us on their future results and waste precious resources on ill-conceived planning. Measure M is misleading and misguided. Vote “no.” Ken Goldman ****** Who needs Circ du Soleil when the Beverly Hills Land Company is in town. Though it was a matinee performance, the room was filled to capacity with its loyal fans. And when one of the two talking magpies dressed in their black attorney’s costume waved one of his wings, all the fans stood up and began singing the BHLC theme song. It brought a tear to my eye to witness such love, devotion and botox. Then the magpies began their act, performing some of the most incredible feats of magic and illusion. I gasped at how real it appeared. There was a brief intermission, wherein a panel of experts attempted to determine if one narrative plus a fact equals an opinion-or was it one opinion plus a narrative minus a fact is half a narrative--or one fact plus an opinion minus half a narrative equals a plot reversal. By this time I could feel my Twilight Zone allergy aroused and thought it best to leave. I was told that the grand finale had everyone out of their seats with some shouting “it’s me,” others “it’s my fault,” and still others “no it's my fault,” --until they all shouted “it‘s everyone's fault” or “it’s no one’s fault.” The city manager was instructed to remove the word “fault” from all of the dictionaries in the City. Robert Block ****** The City of Beverly Hills’ Human Relations Commission would like to share the City’s election statement as a reminder to demonstrate civility and respect this election season and throughout our activities of daily living. The commission strives to promote positive human relations in all aspects of community life. While our schools may provide civics education in the classroom, we citizens are obligated to provide our young people with a real life model of positive civic behavior that we teach by example. We hope every member of this community will join us as we take a stand in support of an environment where respect and responsible actions prevail in every aspect of our community life. As Human Relations commissioners, we are promoting an ideal, but the task of achieving it is up to all of us. We hope that you will be inspired to live this message and carry it to

others. Our commission provides a public forum at its regularly scheduled meetings for anyone who wishes to voice their observation or share their concern about civility.

I think it is very important our friends and neighbors have a complete understanding of the initiative. Regardless of whether residents vote “yes” or “no,” there will be future development on The Beverly Hilton site. The question is, will there be two condominium buildings? Or just one building and a “forever” park at Wilshire Boulevard and Merv Griffin Way? As you know, in 2008, after almost 20 hearings with our various commissions and the City Council, the original proposal was placed on the ballot to let the residents of Beverly Hills decide its future. The vote was positive, allowing construction of the Waldorf Astoria and two condominium buildings. Many of our neighbors in Southwest Beverly Hills have expressed concern about the new project, saying that the proposed 26 story tower is “too big.” However, I believe the updated 2016 plan is so much better because of the creation of the “forever” park. A covenant has been executed and recorded with the county requiring that the new park remain just that, with never any building upon it. Plus, the new building will be situated on Santa Monica Boulevard, across the street from the recently completed 40 story tower which is located about one foot outside Beverly Hills. I would understand the concern about height had the new tower not been erected already – but it has. I believe that much of the opposition to HH comes from paid lobbyists, our commissioners and council members who feel that the 2016 proposal circumvented their ability to approve or disapprove the changes. Our mayor certainly has expressed “hurt feelings.” But we must keep in mind that after much deliberation in 2008, the proposal still went to Beverly Hills residents, who approved it. Similarly, if the 2016 proposal went through the traditional method, it could be delayed until 2020 or later – and still end up on our ballot. Having lived in Beverly Hills most of my life, I appeal to all our voters to consider what I have expressed. I thank you, and – with your “yes” vote – I look forward to HH becoming a reality in the very near future. Roger W. Behrstock
