RE: Objection to Development Proposal at 1000 Sandringham Drive (APN 5650- 001-017)

Dear Mayor and Councilmembers,

The Arroyos & Foothills Conservancy (AFC) submits this letter in support of the appeal and in opposition to the approved development at 1000 Sandringham Drive (APN 5650-001-017). We are deeply concerned about the project's potential to severely impede a crucial wildlife corridor connecting Verdugo Park to the Sunshine Preserve, a property we own and manage as part of a larger wildlife corridor extending into the Verdugo Mountains. We have attached an aerial map [Exhibit A] showing the subject property, our adjacent open space, and the surrounding wildlands, clearly illustrating existing wildlife trails across the property. We have also attached exhibits [Exhibits B & C] highlighting key concerns.

The City of Glendale has demonstrated a longstanding commitment to preserving ridgelands and open space, investing millions of public dollars in acquisitions like Sleepy Hollow, Linda Vista, Deerpass, Camino San Rafael, Poulsen, Murchison, Flint Canyon, Oakmont V, and numerous other properties. This commitment has encouraged private investment in conservation, including AFC’s work. Therefore, the City, as well as the public, has a vested interest in ensuring that private development proposals, particularly those within documented wildlife corridor areas, do not negatively impact City-owned open space. This project, situated within such a corridor, has the potential to impede wildlife movement on both public and private lands.

Our primary concern is the project's location within this documented and critical wildlife corridor, a vital link for various species. Maintaining these corridors is essential, not only for wildlife but also for public safety. Preserving these pathways ensures that animals pass through neighborhoods and into designated open spaces like AFC’s property, where they belong. When corridors are blocked, animals wander into neighborhoods seeking alternative routes, posing a greater potential risk. As the aerial imagery demonstrates, wildlife is already utilizing this corridor.

Our goal is to ensure they can continue to do so safely and effectively.

Before this project came before the City Council, it was reviewed by the Design Review Board (DRB). The Arroyos & Foothills Conservancy, an interested party due to our adjacent land ownership and management of the wildlife corridor, was not notified of the DRB meeting nor were aware of it. It appears as though the DRB was unaware that a documented wildlife corridor runs adjacent to the property. This lack of notification prejudiced our ability to participate in the DRB process and bring

1000 Sandringham Drive Appeal February 10, 2025

the existence of the existing wildlife corridor to the Board’s attention, which could well have impacted the DRB's decision to approve without suitable protections for the wildlife corridor.

While our preferred outcome would be public ownership of this parcel as open space, we recognize that this may not be immediately feasible. Therefore, we believe that the project can and must be modified to accommodate the existing wildlife corridor. We offer the following specific recommendations, which can easily be incorporated as conditions of approval, to maintain the viability of this critical pathway:

A 15-foot setback for a "wildlife corridor" shall be established and maintained along the entire northerly property line adjacent to the City's open space. No development, walls, fences, structures, gates, or other impediments to wildlife movement, or outdoor lighting shall be permitted within this corridor.

A "wildlife corridor easement" for the benefit of the City of Glendale shall be established within this 15-foot setback area, reserving all development rights within this area for the City. This will ensure unimpeded access for wildlife in perpetuity. This easement shall be to the satisfaction of the City of Glendale Community Development Department and recorded by the applicant prior to any permits.

The 15-foot setback area shall be landscaped by the applicant with native plants from the City's fire-approved list and decomposed granite. No hardscape is permitted within this area.

No patios, balconies, equipment, or any portion of a building or structure shall extend into the wildlife corridor setback area.

No landform alteration, decks, or retaining walls are permitted on the east side of the property that would extend the building pad or rear yard into or over the existing slope, consistent with hillside design guidelines

Exterior lighting on the north side of the home, facing the northerly setback area, must be shielded and directed downward to limit light pollution.

Windows facing the corridor area should not be allowed.

No driveway gate is permitted.

The applicant shall cause a biologist, acceptable to the City of Glendale and the Arroyos & Foothills Conservancy, to review and approve the landscape and irrigation plans for the purposes of preserving and enhancing the wildlife migration corridor prior to any permits.

We believe these modifications are essential to mitigating the project's impact on the wildlife corridor and ensuring the continued connectivity of this vital habitat. We urge the City Council to carefully consider our concerns and incorporate these recommendations into any approval of this project. We are available to meet with City staff and the applicant to discuss these matters further.

Sincerely,

John Howell
AFC Chief Executive and General Counsel

Exhibit A
City of Glendale Open Space
Problem #1. The developer proposes retaining walls on shared Glendale Open Space property line? Construction of these walls will impact City-owned open space in a wildlife corridor.

Solution: Prohibit development of new retaining walls adjacent to City-owned open space, at minimum within the 10-foot setback in the R1R Zone. Preferably with a 15-foot setback within wildlife corridors.

Exhibit B
City of Glendale Open Space
Problem #2. This portion of the building windows, patios and balcony are facing directly into the City-owned hillside open space and wildlife corridor. There is no view here! Solution: Eliminate or relocate this floor area to the southeast portion of the building pad.

Reduces light and noise impacts to City -owned open space and wildlife corridor and may eliminate/reduce need for downslope retaining walls. See X-Section 8 Exhibit C
Wildlife of the Sunshine Preserve

Dear Council Members,
I am writing to request that you overturn the Design Review Board’s approval of the development project at 1000 Sandringham Drive. I urge you to request that the project be revised to preserve the critical wildlife corridor in the area and to establish adequate fire department access to ensure public safety.

This property is part of a well-documented wildlife corridor linking the San Rafael Hills and Verdugo Mountains. Any development on this property should be designed with habitat protection and animal movement in mind. As currently planned, the project will disrupt wildlife migration which goes against the City’s Greener Glendale Plan and state laws that protect wildlife corridors.

Additionally, the size and layout of the project obstructs fire department access to adjacent wildland areas. In the event of a wildfire, such as the ones that so recently devastated our community, this blocking of access in a high-risk fire zone endangers the safety of the neighborhood.

Just north of this site is a protected piece of land called the Sunshine Preserve, where neighborhood volunteers have invested hundreds of hours restoring native habitat. Their efforts have enriched the area’s biodiversity and enhanced the land as a wildlife corridor, providing refuge for species including Bobcats, Mule Deer, and the iconic Monarch Butterflies whose populations are in decline. In addition to being documented on the Preserve, wildlife have been observed crossing the 1000 Sandringham Drive project site, demonstrating its active role in the wildlife corridor. Construction of the development as designed would not only disrupt this corridor but also undermine the spirit of the community’s dedicated conservation work.

I ask that on February 11th you vote to overturn approval of the project and recommend design modifications that designate areas for wildlife passage and provide unimpeded access for fire personnel.

Re: Case number PDR-002532-2023, 1000 Sandringham Drive Dear Council Members,
I’m writing to you in support of my appeal concerning the development at 1000 Sandringham Drive, which will be heard by you and your fellow council members on Tuesday 11th February.

I’ve been a resident of Glendale since 2019, having been drawn to move here by the mountains and hiking trails in the Verdugo mountains. For the last two years I’ve led a neighborhood group of volunteers doing habitat restoration at the Sunshine Preserve in the Verdugo Mountains, at the top of Sunshine Drive.

We’ve tirelessly been removing fire-prone invasive plants and restoring a native habitat where our local wildlife can thrive – it’s in a wildlife corridor that enhances passage of wildlife between the Verdugo Mountains and San Rafael Hills.

The proposed development at 1000 Sandringham Drive is also in this wildlife corridor, and will negatively impact animal movement, as well as block proper access by fire personnel to the slopes below in the event of a wildfire.

I lodged my appeal against the DRB’s decision on 25 April 2024 because the story poles / flags showing the building outline were constructed only 3 days before the meeting, giving inadequate public notice. The city’s staff worker on this case, Mr Roger Kiesel, stated in an email to me on 27 April 2024:
“The flags should be installed 10 days in advance of the hearing. It is my understanding that in this case they were not.” – R.Kiesel, 27 April 2024 Based on Mr Kiesel’s statement, the public notice requirement was not met and I lodged my appeal. I deposited the $2,000 fee under protest, as I believe that all Glendale residents should be able to require the city to follow their own procedures without being restricted by their financial means. The hearing date was set prematurely by the city and could have been rearranged for a later date given the failure in fulfilling all elements of public notice. This would have given all interested parties time to examine the proposal.

A very nice house can be built on this lot. With some changes to the proposed design, it can also lessen the damaging impact to the wildlife corridor and protect fire safety for the neighbourhood, so that the whole community benefits.

For example, creating a wider setback between the structure’s north eastern edge and the city’s land, and/or relocating some of the north eastern structure to the southern portion of the building pad, would create more space and reduce the need for numerous retaining walls. Encroaching development deters wildlife and the goal should be to minimize human interference. Glendale has invested a lot of public money into purchasing these open spaces and should be protecting our collective investment.

The property is in a Very High Fire Safety Zone. Given recent events of catastrophic fires across the county, there should be heightened attention given to fire safety when new hillside homes are proposed. Priority should be given for fire personnel and equipment to have quick and easy access to the slopes around this lot in the event of a life-threatening wildfire. The current design with multiple levels of retaining walls does not provide this access and obstructs the fire access easement shown on the 1981 parcel map.

We all share the beauty of this city, from its thriving businesses to its historic neighborhoods and its stunning landscapes. Land owner rights and privileges don’t have to be taken away for wildlife and residents to thrive and be safe – you have the ability to ask for some small changes to this proposal that will benefit the whole community. I hope you make recommendations on Tuesday evening with us all in mind.

Yours sincerely,
Christopher Smee

Dear Council Members,
I have been a Glendale resident since 2018.

I am writing to request that you overturn the Design Review Board's approval of the development project at 1000 Sandringham Drive. I urge you to request that the project be revised to preserve the critical wildlife corridor in the area and to establish adequate fire department access to ensure public safety.

This property is part of a well-documented wildlife corridor linking the San Rafael Hills and Verdugo Mountains. Any development on this property should be designed with habitat protection and animal movement in mind. As currently planned, the project will disrupt wildlife migration which goes against the City's Greener Glendale Plan and state laws that protect wildlife corridors.

Additionally, the size and layout of the project obstructs fire department access to adjacent wildland areas. In the event of a wildfire, such as the ones that so recently devastated our community, this blocking of access in a high-risk fire zone endangers the safety of the neighborhood.

Just north of this site is a protected piece of land called the Sunshine Preserve, where neighborhood volunteers have invested hundreds of hours restoring native habitat. Their efforts have enriched the area's biodiversity and enhanced the land as a wildlife corridor, providing refuge for species including Bobcats, Mule Deer, and the iconic Monarch Butterflies whose populations are in decline. In addition to being documented on the Preserve, wildlife have been observed crossing the 1000 Sandringham Drive project site, demonstrating its active role in the wildlife corridor. Construction of the development as designed would not only disrupt this corridor but also undermine the spirit of the community's dedicated conservation work.

I ask that on February 11th you vote to overturn approval of the project and recommend design modifications that designate areas for wildlife passage and provide unimpeded access for fire personnel.

Subject: Consider wildlife at 1000 Sandringham Drive

CAUTION: This email was delivered from the Internet. Do not click links, open attachments, or reply if you are unsure as to the sender.

Dear Council Members,

Please consider overturning the Design Review Board’s approval of the development project at 1000 Sandringham Drive. As part of the already fragmented wildlife corridors connecting the Verdugos and San Rafael’s, this area is important for wildlife movement and fire safety. I appreciate the City’s commitment to protecting wildlife corridors and making a greener Glendale, but I see this project in opposition to those values.

I’ve also been so appreciative of the amazing people of Glendale for organizing and volunteering at the Sunshine Preserve, located near the project site. This is a great initiative that should serve as a blueprint to others. Caring for the land, educating and encouraging others, and building a community that values our unique ecology is hard to come by. I don’t think that dedication should be ignored and I can’t imagine the loss it would be to people who have spent countless hours and effort bettering their community.

I ask that on February 11 you vote to overturn approval of the project as it stands and ask for design modifications with wildlife passage, fire safety, and community conservation goals in mind.

Thank you,
Adam Gelbart

There is a hearing before the City Council scheduled for 2/11/25 regarding an application to build a house at 1000 Sandringham . Our conservancy owns and operates a nature preserve located a short distance from the Sandringham property on Sunshine Drive known as the Sunshine Preserve. We are submitting comments to staff and the City Council.

We write to alert you to land use and CEQA issues detailed below, which we forward for your consideration.

Dear AFC,
I have a concern that the underlying parcel map for this property (PM GLN No 1377, PM144 4~5) contains two recorded instruments that may or may not still be in force.

Instrument No 81-691511, Recorded 7-10-1981 a variable width easement of the City of Glendale for Fire Access Purposes and Instrument No. 81-832551, Recorded 8-19-1918, a variable width Slope Easement of the City of Glendale. While the appeal letter questioned the creation of this lot, as well as concerns with development on the slopes adjacent to the City open space and fire access easement, the response in the staff report states that the lot was created through a lot line adjustment back in 2004 and Fire states they don't have an easement. These answers may be correct, but appear incomplete.

Lot Line Adjustments (LLA) through Certificates of Compliance don't eliminate easements, nor do they nullify the underlying Parcel Map; they merely move a parcel line. The "variable width easements" for slope and fire access depicted on PM GLN No. 1377 Parcel A clearly include areas that are now part of the subject parcel. Are these instruments that created a variable fire access easement and variable width slope easement still in effect on the portion of the parcel that remains in private ownership? There is not enough information in the staff report attachments to make a determination one way or the other. So, yes, a LLA did occur subsequent to the parcel map which explains the different lot configuration, but the disposition of these easements remains unaddressed.

While a change in ownership from private property to City property would void portions of the variable fire access and slope easements within the area now owned by the City, it is unclear whether these easements remain in force on the subject parcel that remains in private ownership. If Fire says they have no fire access easement, what happened to it because it clearly existed in 1981? Was there a sunset clause in this variable fire access easement, or was a subsequent document recorded to terminate it? Fire access is critical in very high fire hazard areas. Why would the City not want to maintain fire access to its open space? These questions remain unresolved.

Similarly, without seeing Instrument No. 81-832551 it is unclear what that slope easement entails, or if it remains in effect. Slope easements can be reserved for a variety of reasons, often for maintenance and repair. However, slope easements sometimes prohibit modification of the slope by the property owner. Is this instrument in effect and what does it entail? Was a subsequent document recorded to terminate it? Lots of questions, but without a copy of the full Title Report, Schedule B there aren't answers.

When the easements were established in 1981 for GLN No 1377 A, the entire parcel was in private ownership. So, after 2004 when half the parcel became owned by the city, that part of the easement would no longer be necessary (because if the City owns the property it doesn't need an easement for itself.) I'm only questioning the validity of the variable easements for fire access and slope on the portion of property for the subject parcel that remained private property.

Laura Stotler, AICP

Dear city council,

It has come to my attention that the home being developed on the end of our street will cut off access for firefighters to put out a fire in an area of brush that poses a danger to my home. I am writing to voice my concerns and for you to please make it a requirement for any development on the lot at the end of Balmoral rd to be required to create ample space for firetrucks to access the dry brush below it.

Dear Council Members,
I am writing to request that you overturn the Design
Review Board’s approval of the development project at
1000 Sandringham Drive. I urge you to request that
the project be revised to preserve the critical wildlife corridor in the area and to establish adequate fire
department access to ensure public safety.

This property is part of a well-documented wildlife
corridor linking the San Rafael Hills and Verdugo
Mountains. Any development on this property should
be designed with habitat protection and animal
movement in mind. As currently planned, the project
will disrupt wildlife migration which goes against the
City’s Greener Glendale Plan and state laws that
protect wildlife corridors.

Additionally, the size and layout of the project
obstructs fire department access to adjacent wildland
areas. In the event of a wildfire, such as the ones that so recently devastated our community, this blocking of
access in a high-risk fire zone endangers the safety of the neighborhood.

Just north of this site is a protected piece of land called the Sunshine Preserve, where neighborhood
volunteers have invested hundreds of hours restoring
native habitat. Their efforts have enriched the area’s
biodiversity and enhanced the land as a wildlife
corridor, providing refuge for species including
Bobcats, Mule Deer, and the iconic Monarch

Construction of the development as designed would not only disrupt this corridor but also undermine the spirit of the community’s dedicated conservation work.

I ask that on February 11th you vote to overturn approval of the project and recommend design modifications that designate areas for wildlife passage and provide unimpeded access for fire personnel.

Dear Council Members,
I am writing to request that you overturn the Design Review Board’s approval of the development project at 1000 Sandringham Drive. I urge you to request that the project be revised to preserve the critical wildlife corridor in the area and to establish adequate fire department access to ensure public safety.

This property is part of a well-documented wildlife corridor linking the San Rafael Hills and Verdugo Mountains. Any development on this property should be designed with habitat protection and animal movement in mind. As currently planned, the project will disrupt wildlife migration which goes against the City’s Greener Glendale Plan and state laws that protect wildlife corridors.

Additionally, the size and layout of the project obstructs fire department access to adjacent wildland areas. In the event of a wildfire, such as the ones that so recently devastated our community, this blocking of access in a high-risk fire zone endangers the safety of the neighborhood.

Just north of this site is a protected piece of land called the Sunshine Preserve, where neighborhood volunteers have invested hundreds of hours restoring native habitat. Their efforts have enriched the area’s biodiversity and enhanced the land as a wildlife corridor, providing refuge for species including Bobcats, Mule Deer, and the iconic Monarch Butterflies whose populations are in decline. In addition to being documented on the Preserve, wildlife have been observed crossing the 1000 Sandringham Drive project site, demonstrating its active role in the wildlife corridor. Construction of the development as designed would not only disrupt this corridor but also undermine the spirit of the community’s dedicated conservation work.

I do not live in Glendale, however the welfare of wildlife is of universal concern.

Dear Council Members,
I am writing to request that you overturn the Design Review Board's approval of the development project at 1000 Sandringham Drive. I urge you to request that the project be revised to preserve the critical wildlife corridor in the area and to establish adequate fire department access to ensure public safety.

This property is part of a well-documented wildlife corridor linking the San Rafael Hills and Verdugo Mountains. Any development on this property should be designed with habitat protection and animal movement in mind. As currently planned, the project will disrupt wildlife migration which goes against the City's Greener Glendale Plan and state laws that protect wildlife corridors.

Additionally, the size and layout of the project obstructs fire department access to adjacent wildland areas. In the event of a wildfire, such as the ones that so recently devastated our community, this blocking of access in a high-risk fire zone endangers the safety of the neighborhood.

Just north of this site is a protected piece of land called the Sunshine Preserve, where neighborhood volunteers have invested hundreds of hours restoring native habitat. Their efforts have enriched the area's biodiversity and enhanced the land as a wildlife corridor, providing refuge for species including Bobcats, Mule Deer, and the iconic Monarch Butterflies whose populations are in decline. In addition to being documented on the Preserve, wildlife have been observed crossing the 1000 Sandringham Drive project site, demonstrating its active role in the wildlife corridor. Construction of the development as designed would not only disrupt this corridor but also undermine the spirit of the community's dedicated conservation work.

I ask that on February 11th you vote to overturn approval of the project and recommend design modifications that designate areas for wildlife passage and provide unimpeded access for fire personnel.

Sincerely,
Nicole Andresen,

Dear Council Members,
I am writing to request that you overturn the Design Review Board’s approval of the development project at 1000 Sandringham Drive. I urge you to request that the project be abandoned entirely to preserve the critical wildlife corridor in the area. We have already seen this year that excessive development in the urban-wildlife interface carries great risk. Why continue to make these terrible mistakes in light of the ever- growing threat of devastation? Are we seriously still doing this? The devastation would be automatic with the start of any development. This property is part of a well-documented wildlife corridor linking the San Rafael Hills and Verdugo Mountains. As currently planned, the project will disrupt wildlife migration which goes against the City’s Greener Glendale Plan and state laws that protect wildlife corridors.

Any development on this property should not be permitted. We have already severely constricted wildlife by encroaching further and further into open spaces.

Losing biodiversity devastates the health of our environment. It gains people a few thousand square feet of nice house in the short-term, but in the long-term, these are not gains. They are losses that cause havoc in the ecosystem and the climate. Are a few extra dollars in a few people's pockets enough to justify this destruction? Additionally, the size and layout of the project obstructs fire department access to adjacent wildland areas. In the event of a wildfire, such as the ones that so recently devastated our community, this blocking of access in a high-risk fire zone endangers the safety of the neighborhood.

Just north of this site is a protected piece of land called the Sunshine Preserve, where neighborhood volunteers have invested hundreds of hours restoring native habitat. Their efforts have enriched the area’s biodiversity and enhanced the land as a wildlife corridor, providing refuge for species including Bobcats, Mule Deer, and the iconic Monarch Butterflies whose populations are in breathtaking decline.

In addition to being documented on the Preserve, wildlife have been observed crossing the 1000 Sandringham Drive project site, demonstrating its active role in the wildlife corridor. Construction of the development as designed would not only disrupt this corridor but also undermine the spirit of the community’s dedicated conservation work.

I ask that on February 11th you vote to overturn approval of the project and recommend canceling it for all our sake.

Dear Council Members,
I am writing to request that you overturn the Design Review Board’s approval of the development project at 1000 Sandringham Drive. I urge you to request that the project be revised to preserve the critical wildlife corridor in the area and to establish adequate fire department access to ensure public safety. This property is part of a well- documented wildlife corridor linking the San Rafael Hills and Verdugo Mountains. Any development on this property should be designed with habitat protection and animal movement in mind. As currently planned, the project will disrupt wildlife migration which goes against the City’s Greener Glendale Plan and state laws that protect wildlife corridors. Additionally, the size and layout of the project obstructs fire department access to adjacent wildland areas. In the event of a wildfire, such as the ones that so recently devastated our community, this blocking of access in a high-risk fire zone endangers the safety of the neighborhood. Just north of this site is a protected piece of land called the Sunshine Preserve, where neighborhood volunteers have invested hundreds of hours restoring native habitat. Their efforts have enriched the area’s biodiversity and enhanced the land as a wildlife corridor, providing refuge for species including Bobcats, Mule Deer, and the iconic Monarch Butterflies whose populations are in decline. In addition to being documented on the Preserve, wildlife have been observed crossing the 1000 Sandringham Drive project site, demonstrating its active role in the wildlife corridor. Construction of the development as designed would not only disrupt this corridor but also undermine the spirit of the community’s dedicated conservation work. I ask that on February 11th you vote to overturn approval of the project and recommend design modifications that designate areas for wildlife passage and provide unimpeded access for fire personnel.

Sincerely,

Dear Council Members,
I am writing to request that you overturn the Design Review Board's approval of the development project at 1000 Sandringham Drive. I urge you to request that the project be revised to preserve the critical wildlife corridor in the area and to establish adequate fire department access to ensure public safety.

This property is part of a well-documented wildlife corridor linking the San Rafael Hills and Verdugo Mountains. Any development on this property should be designed with habitat protection and animal movement in mind. As currently planned, the project will disrupt wildlife migration which goes against the City's Greener Glendale Plan and state laws that protect wildlife corridors.

Additionally, the size and layout of the project obstructs fire department access to adjacent wildland areas. In the event of a wildfire, such as the ones that so recently devastated our community, this blocking of access in a high-risk fire zone endangers the safety of the neighborhood.

Just north of this site is a protected piece of land called the Sunshine Preserve, where neighborhood volunteers have invested hundreds of hours restoring native habitat. Their efforts have enriched the area's biodiversity and enhanced the land as a wildlife corridor, providing refuge for species including Bobcats, Mule Deer, and the iconic Monarch Butterflies whose populations are in decline. In addition to being documented on the Preserve, wildlife have been observed crossing the 1000 Sandringham Drive project site, demonstrating its active role in the wildlife corridor. Construction of the development as designed would not only disrupt this corridor but also undermine the spirit of the community's dedicated conservation work.

I ask that on February 11th you vote to overturn approval of the project and recommend design modifications that designate areas for wildlife passage and provide unimpeded access for fire personnel.

Sincerely,
Sally Howell

Dear Council Members,
I am writing to request that you overturn the Design Review Board's approval of the development project at 1000 Sandringham Drive. I urge you to request that the project be revised to preserve the critical wildlife corridor in the area and to establish adequate fire department access to ensure public safety.

This property is part of a well-documented wildlife corridor linking the San Rafael Hills and Verdugo Mountains. Any development on this property should be designed with habitat protection and animal movement in mind. As currently planned, the project will disrupt wildlife migration which goes against the City's Greener Glendale Plan and state laws that protect wildlife corridors.

Additionally, the size and layout of the project obstructs fire department access to adjacent wildland areas. In the event of a wildfire, such as the ones that so recently devastated our community, this blocking of access in a high-risk fire zone endangers the safety of the neighborhood.

Just north of this site is a protected piece of land called the Sunshine Preserve, where neighborhood volunteers have invested hundreds of hours restoring native habitat. Their efforts have enriched the area's biodiversity and enhanced the land as a wildlife corridor, providing refuge for species including Bobcats, Mule Deer, and the iconic Monarch Butterflies whose populations are in decline. In addition to being documented on the Preserve, wildlife have been observed crossing the 1000 Sandringham Drive project site, demonstrating its active role in the wildlife corridor. Construction of the development as designed would not only disrupt this corridor but also undermine the spirit of the community's dedicated conservation work.

I ask that on February 11th you vote to overturn approval of the project and recommend design modifications that designate areas for wildlife passage and provide unimpeded access for fire personnel.

Sincerely,
Shannon Reich

Dear Council Members,

I am writing as a NELA resident and volunteer at Sunshine Preserve to request that you overturn the Design Review Board’s approval of the development project at 1000 Sandringham Drive. I urge you to request that the project be revised to preserve the critical wildlife corridor in the area and to establish adequate fire department access to ensure public safety.

The wildlife and plant life in our hills is part of what makes this community so special.

This property is part of a well-documented wildlife corridor linking the San Rafael Hills and Verdugo Mountains. Any development on this property should be designed with habitat protection and animal movement in mind. As currently planned, the project will disrupt wildlife migration which goes against the City’s Greener Glendale Plan and state laws that protect wildlife corridors.

This property is part of a well- documented wildlife corridor linking the San Rafael Hills and Verdugo Mountains. Any development on this property should be designed with habitat protection and animal movement in mind. As currently planned, the project will disrupt wildlife migration which goes against the City’s Greener Glendale Plan and state laws that protect wildlife corridors. Additionally, the size and layout of the project obstructs fire department access to adjacent wildland areas. In the event of a wildfire, such as the ones that so recently devastated our community, this blocking of access in a high-risk fire zone endangers the safety of the neighborhood. Just north of this site is a protected piece of land called the Sunshine Preserve, where neighborhood volunteers have invested hundreds of hours restoring native habitat. Their efforts have enriched the area’s biodiversity and enhanced the land as a wildlife corridor, providing refuge for species including Bobcats, Mule Deer, and the iconic Monarch Butterflies whose populations are in decline. In addition to being documented on the Preserve, wildlife have been observed crossing the 1000 Sandringham Drive project site, demonstrating its active role in the wildlife corridor. Construction of the development as designed would not only disrupt this corridor but also undermine the spirit of the community’s dedicated conservation work. I ask that on February 11th you vote to overturn approval of the project and recommend design modifications that designate areas for wildlife passage and provide unimpeded access for fire personnel.

Dear Council Members,
I live on Las Flores Drive on the other end of the Las Flores Motorway on which this property would be built on and I can personally attest to the amazing amount of wildlife we have in this community. I have walked the motorway many times in my 25 years here and that motorway is the best passage for wildlife to get from the San Rafael Hills to the Verdugo. Obstructing it would be a huge mistake and have massive consequences for residents and for wildlife. If wildlife cannot pass safely they will move through yards including mine. All of us have pets we don't want to be threatened by coyotes and mountains lions but we would like to see those animals protected as well. The best way to do that is to preserve the existing corridor and allowing safe passage. We want to live in harmony with nature and this project unfortunately will do a great deal to disrupt what is already a fragile ecosystem.

I ask that on February 11th you vote to overturn approval of the project and recommend design modifications that designate areas for wildlife passage and provide unimpeded access for fire personnel.

Sincerely,
Christopher Gold

Dear Council Members,
These recent fires have shown how careful we need to be about the local ecology and the wildlife living in our mountains and hills. I am writing to request that you overturn the Design Review Board's approval of the development project at 1000 Sandringham Drive.

In addition to being documented on the Preserve, wildlife have been observed crossing the 1000 Sandringham Drive project site, demonstrating its active role in the wildlife corridor. Construction of the development as designed would not only disrupt this corridor but also undermine the spirit of the community's dedicated conservation work.

I ask that on February 11th you vote to overturn approval of the project and recommend design modifications that designate areas for wildlife passage and provide unimpeded access for fire personnel.

Dear Council Members,
I am writing to request that you overturn the Design Review Board's approval of the development project at 1000 Sandringham Drive. I urge you to request that the project be revised to preserve the critical wildlife corridor in the area and to establish adequate fire department access to ensure public safety.

This property is part of a well-documented wildlife corridor linking the San Rafael Hills and Verdugo Mountains. Any development on this property should be designed with habitat protection and animal movement in mind. As currently planned, the project will disrupt wildlife migration which goes against the City's Greener Glendale Plan and state laws that protect wildlife corridors.

Additionally, the size and layout of the project obstructs fire department access to adjacent wildland areas. In the event of a wildfire, such as the ones that so recently devastated our community, this blocking of access in a high-risk fire zone endangers the safety of the neighborhood.

Just north of this site is a protected piece of land called the Sunshine Preserve, where neighborhood volunteers have invested hundreds of hours restoring native habitat. Their efforts have enriched the area's biodiversity and enhanced the land as a wildlife corridor, providing refuge for species including Bobcats, Mule Deer, and the iconic Monarch Butterflies whose populations are in decline.

Wildlife passage and unimpeded access for fire personnel should be fundamental considerations for projects of this scale in locations such as these. I've seen documented footage of wildlife passing through this area. A quick jaunt on gokgle maps of the lot in question immediately demonstrates how it is in essence an ismuth between two wild areas. While this is not my neighborhood community, I am passionate about wildlife and have been on several hikes in the Verdugo moutains. It is a beautiful wilderness. Thank you for taking the time to read this email and consider.

Just north of this site is a protected piece of land called the Sunshine Preserve, where neighborhood volunteers have invested hundreds of hours restoring native habitat. Their efforts have enriched the area's biodiversity and enhanced the land as a wildlife corridor, providing refuge for species including Bobcats, Mule Deer, and the iconic Monarch Butterflies whose populations are in decline. In addition to being documented on the Preserve, wildlife have been observed crossing the 1000 Sandringham Drive project site, demonstrating its active role in the wildlife corridor. Construction of the development as designed would not only disrupt this corridor but also undermine the spirit of the community's dedicated conservation work.

I ask that on February 11th you vote to overturn approval of the project and recommend design modifications that designate areas for wildlife passage and provide unimpeded access for fire personnel.

Sincerely,
Lucia Anna Bastida, 7334 verdugo crestline dr, Tujunga 91042

Dear Council Members,
I am writing to request that you overturn the Design Review Board’s approval of the development project at 1000 Sandringham Drive. I urge you to request that the project be revised to preserve the critical wildlife corridor in the area and to establish adequate fire department access to ensure public safety.

This property is part of a well-documented wildlife corridor linking the San Rafael Hills and Verdugo Mountains. Any development on this property should be designed with habitat protection and animal movement in mind. As currently planned, the project will disrupt wildlife migration which goes against the City’s Greener Glendale Plan and state laws that protect wildlife corridors.

Additionally, the size and layout of the project obstructs fire department access to adjacent wildland areas. In the event of a wildfire, such as the ones that so recently devastated our community, this blocking of access in a high-risk fire zone endangers the safety of the neighborhood.

“ The urban development process results in the removal, alteration and fragmentation of natural vegetation and environmental features, which have negatively impacted many wildlife species” (Lerman et al,
2021, https://research.fs.usda.gov/treesearch/61761#:~:text=The%20urban%20develop ment%20process%20results,negatively%20impacted%20many%20wildlife%20species. ). Just north of the aforementioned site is a protected piece of land called the Sunshine Preserve, where neighborhood volunteers have invested hundreds of hours restoring native habitat. Their efforts have enriched the area’s biodiversity and enhanced the land as a wildlife corridor, providing refuge for species including Bobcats, Mule Deer, and the iconic Monarch Butterflies whose populations are in decline. “ …These migrating
butterflies, once a familiar sight, are plummeting toward extinction due to landscape-scale threats from pesticides, development and climate change” (https://www.biologicaldiversity.org/species/invertebrates/monarch_butterfly/#, ‘Background’, paragraph 2).

In addition to being documented on the Preserve, wildlife have been observed crossing the 1000 Sandringham Drive project site, demonstrating its active role in the wildlife corridor. Construction of the development as designed would not only disrupt this corridor but also undermine the spirit of the community’s dedicated conservation work.

I ask that on February 11th you vote to overturn approval of the project and recommend design modifications that designate areas for wildlife passage and provide unimpeded access for fire personnel.

Just north of this site is a protected piece of land called the Sunshine Preserve, where neighborhood volunteers have invested hundreds of hours restoring native habitat. Their efforts have enriched the area's biodiversity and enhanced the land as a wildlife corridor, providing refuge for species including Bobcats, Mule Deer, and the iconic Monarch Butterflies whose populations are in decline. In addition to being documented on the Preserve, wildlife have been observed crossing the 1000 Sandringham Drive project site, demonstrating its active role in the wildlife corridor. Construction of the development as designed would not only disrupt this corridor but also undermine the spirit of the community's dedicated conservation work.

I ask that on February 11th you vote to overturn approval of the project and recommend design modifications that designate areas for wildlife passage and provide unimpeded access for fire personnel.

Dear Council Members,
I am writing to request that you overturn the Design Review Board's approval of the development project at 1000 Sandringham Drive. I urge you to request that the project be revised to preserve the critical wildlife corridor in the area and to establish adequate fire department access to ensure public safety.

This property is part of a well-documented wildlife corridor linking the San Rafael Hills and Verdugo Mountains. Any development on this property should be designed with habitat protection and animal movement in mind. As currently planned, the project will disrupt wildlife migration which goes against the City's Greener Glendale Plan and state laws that protect wildlife corridors.

Additionally, the size and layout of the project obstructs fire department access to adjacent wildland areas. In the event of a wildfire, such as the ones that so recently devastated our community, this blocking of access in a high-risk fire zone endangers the safety of the neighborhood.

Dear Council Members,
I am a consistent and live very close to this project site. Close enough that a large fire started in this project area like the Eaton fire would negatively impact my house.

I'm worried that the protect as planned would disproportionately harm wildlife in the area by blocking the existing wildlife corridor. You can see the wildlife trails on the property in the satellite view. At this stage you have the power to solve the problem and update the design. Our neighborhood depends on it.

I am writing to request that you overturn the Design Review Board’s approval of the development project at 1000 Sandringham Drive. I urge you to request that the project be revised to preserve the critical wildlife corridor in the area and to establish adequate fire department access to ensure public safety.

Their efforts have enriched the area's biodiversity and enhanced the land as a wildlife corridor, providing refuge for species including Bobcats, Mule Deer, and the iconic Monarch Butterflies whose populations are in decline. In addition to being documented on the Preserve, wildlife have been observed crossing the 1000 Sandringham Drive project site, demonstrating its active role in the wildlife corridor. Construction of the development as designed would not only disrupt this corridor but also undermine the spirit of the community's dedicated conservation work.

I ask that on February 11th you vote to overturn approval of the project and recommend design modifications that designate areas for wildlife passage and provide unimpeded access for fire prevention.

Dear Council Members,
I am writing to request that you overturn the Design Review Board's approval of the development project at 1000 Sandringham Drive. I urge you to request that the project be revised to preserve the critical wildlife corridor in the area and to establish adequate fire department access to ensure public safety.

This property is part of a well-documented wildlife corridor linking the San Rafael Hills and Verdugo Mountains. Any development on this property should be designed with habitat protection and animal movement in mind. As currently planned, the project will disrupt wildlife migration which goes against the City's Greener Glendale Plan and state laws that protect wildlife corridors.

Additionally, the size and layout of the project obstructs fire department access to adjacent wildland areas. In the event of a wildfire, such as the ones that so recently devastated our community, this blocking of access in a high-risk fire zone endangers the safety of the neighborhood.

I ask that on February 11th you vote to overturn approval of the project and recommend design modifications that designate areas for wildlife passage and provide unimpeded access for fire personnel.

Now, more than ever, the importance of both habitat preservation AND not building in the wilderness interface zone is at the forefront of city planning.

Please overturn this approval & have this project revised for wildlife corridor access and fire safety considerations.

Dear Council Members,
I am writing to request that you overturn the Design Review Board's approval of the development project at 1000 Sandringham Drive. I urge you to request that the project be revised to preserve the critical wildlife corridor in the area and to establish adequate fire department access to ensure public safety.

This property is part of a well-documented wildlife corridor linking the San Rafael Hills and Verdugo Mountains. Any development on this property should be designed with habitat protection and animal movement in mind. As currently planned, the project will disrupt wildlife migration which goes against the City's Greener Glendale Plan and state laws that protect wildlife corridors.

Additionally, the size and layout of the project obstructs fire department access to adjacent wildland areas. In the event of a wildfire, such as the ones that so recently devastated our community, this blocking of access in a high-risk fire zone endangers the safety of the neighborhood.

Just north of this site is a protected piece of land called the Sunshine Preserve, where neighborhood volunteers have invested hundreds of hours restoring native habitat. Their efforts have enriched the area's biodiversity and enhanced the land as a wildlife corridor, providing refuge for species including Bobcats, Mule Deer, and the iconic Monarch Butterflies whose populations are in decline. In addition to being documented on the Preserve, wildlife have been observed crossing the 1000 Sandringham Drive project site, demonstrating its active role in the wildlife corridor. Construction of the development as designed would not only disrupt this corridor but also undermine the spirit of the community's dedicated conservation work.

I ask that on February 11th you vote to overturn approval of the project and recommend design modifications that designate areas for wildlife passage and provide unimpeded access for fire Yungsheng Wang 585 N. Rossmore Avenue Apt. 406 Los Angeles, CA 90004

Dear Council Members,

I am writing to request that you overturn the Design Review Board’s approval of the development project at 1000 Sandringham Drive. I urge you to request that the project be revised to preserve the critical wildlife corridor in the area and to establish adequate fire department access to ensure public safety.

This property is part of a well-documented wildlife corridor linking the San Rafael Hills and Verdugo Mountains. Any development on this property should be designed with habitat protection and animal movement in mind.

As currently planned, the project will disrupt wildlife migration which goes against the City’s Greener Glendale Plan and state laws that protect wildlife corridors.

Additionally, the size and layout of the project obstructs fire department access to adjacent wildland areas. In the event of a wildfire, such as the ones that so recently devastated our community, this blocking of access in a high-risk fire zone endangers the safety of the neighborhood.

Just north of this site is a protected piece of land called the Sunshine Preserve, where neighborhood volunteers have invested hundreds of hours restoring native habitat. Their efforts have enriched the area’s biodiversity and enhanced the land as a wildlife corridor, providing refuge for species including Bobcats, Mule Deer, and the iconic Monarch Butterflies whose populations are in decline. In addition to being documented on the Preserve, wildlife have been observed crossing the 1000 Sandringham Drive project site, demonstrating its active role in the wildlife corridor. Construction of the development as designed would not only disrupt this corridor but also undermine the spirit of the community’s dedicated conservation work. I ask that on February 11th you vote to overturn approval of the project and recommend design modifications that designate areas for wildlife passage and provide unimpeded access for fire personnel.

Sincerely,

Perrine Muhlethaler

Dear Council Members,
I am writing to request that you overturn the Design Review Board’s approval of the development project at 1000 Sandringham Drive. I urge you to request that the project be revised to preserve the critical wildlife corridor in the area and to establish adequate fire department access to ensure public safety.

This property is part of a well-documented wildlife corridor linking the San Rafael Hills and Verdugo Mountains. Any development on this property should be designed with habitat protection and animal movement in mind. As currently planned, the project will disrupt wildlife migration which goes against the City’s Greener Glendale Plan and state laws that protect wildlife corridors.

Additionally, the size and layout of the project obstructs fire department access to adjacent wildland areas. In the event of a wildfire, such as the ones that so recently devastated our community, this blocking of access in a high-risk fire zone endangers the safety of the neighborhood.

Just north of this site is a protected piece of land called the Sunshine Preserve, where neighborhood volunteers have invested hundreds of hours restoring native habitat. Their efforts have enriched the area’s biodiversity and enhanced the land as a wildlife corridor, providing refuge for species including Bobcats, Mule Deer, and the iconic Monarch Butterflies whose populations are in decline. In addition to being documented on the Preserve, wildlife have been observed crossing the 1000 Sandringham Drive project site, demonstrating its active role in the wildlife corridor. Construction of the development as designed would not only disrupt this corridor but also undermine the spirit of the community’s dedicated conservation work.

Hello,

As a resident of Glendale, I would like to urgently request that neither of these projects move forward into construction phase. Both projects are in high fire zones, and both projects would negatively influence the neighborhoods and the wildlife in our communities.

We live near both proposed developments, and we are prepared to become the biggest thorn in your side to prevent these from moving forward. I urge you to take the easy way out and stop construction before you have a giant grassroots movement obstructing every agenda on your docket at city council.

Jack.

Dear Council Members,
My name is Amanda Kang and my husband and I have lived in the Chevy Chase Canyon area of Glendale for the last 4 years. We have really grown to love our corner of Glendale, the mountains, and our neighbors– both the people and animals who call Glendale their home.

Please, please overturn the Design Review Board’s approval of the development project at 1000 Sandringham Drive. I urge you to request that the project be revised to preserve the critical wildlife corridor in the area and to establish adequate fire department access to ensure public safety.

This property is part of a well-documented wildlife corridor linking the San Rafael Hills and Verdugo Mountains. Any development on this property should be designed with habitat protection and animal movement in mind. As currently planned, the project will disrupt wildlife migration which goes against the City’s Greener Glendale Plan and state laws that protect wildlife corridors.

Additionally, the size and layout of the project obstructs fire department access to adjacent wildland areas. In the event of a wildfire, such as the ones that so recently devastated our community, this blocking of access in a high-risk fire zone endangers the safety of the neighborhood. We were evacuated in January during the Eaton Canyon fire, and while our neighborhood was luckily unharmed, we really believe and see the need for fire department access to all parts of the city.

Just north of this site is a protected piece of land called the Sunshine Preserve, where neighborhood volunteers have invested hundreds of hours restoring native habitat. My husband and I also volunteer here through the AFC. Our efforts have enriched the area’s biodiversity and enhanced the land as a wildlife corridor, providing refuge for species including Bobcats, Mule Deer, and the iconic Monarch Butterflies whose populations are in decline. The last time we were volunteering, a mule deer came down from the hills to check out all our hard work. In addition to being documented on the Preserve, wildlife have been observed crossing the 1000 Sandringham Drive project site, demonstrating its active role in the wildlife corridor. Construction of the development as designed would not only disrupt this corridor but also undermine the spirit of the community’s dedicated conservation work.

We ask that on February 11th you vote to overturn approval of the project and recommend design modifications that designate areas for wildlife passage and provide unimpeded access for fire personnel. With just a few small changes to this building plan, we can have a safe space for all of us Glendale residents! Thank you so much! Sincerely,
Amanda Kang

I write to request that you overturn the Design Review Board’s approval of the development project at 1000 Sandringham Drive. The project must be revised, both to preserve a critical wildlife corridor in the area, and to establish adequate fire department access to ensure public safety.

This well-documented wildlife corridor, linking the San Rafael Hills and Verdugo Mountains, sorely needs protection. Any development should keep animal movement at the forefront of plans. As is, the project will disrupt wildlife migration, and contravene the City’s Greener Glendale Plan as well as state laws that protect wildlife corridors.

The size and layout of the project also obstructs fire department access to adjacent wildland areas. In the event of more wildfires, blocking access in a high-risk fire zone endangers neighborhood safety too.

Just north of this site lies the protected Sunshine Preserve, where local volunteers have invested thousands of hours restoring native habitat. Their efforts have enriched the area’s biodiversity and enhanced the land as a wildlife corridor, providing refuge for Bobcats, Mule Deer, and the iconic Monarch Butterflies, whose populations are all in serious decline.

Wildlife have also been observed crossing the 1000 Sandringham Drive project site, demonstrating its active role in the wildlife corridor. Construction of the development as designed would not only disrupt this corridor but also undermine the spirit of the community’s dedicated conservation work.

On February 11th, please vote to overturn approval of the project and recommend design modifications that designate areas for wildlife passage and provide unimpeded access for fire personnel.

Dear Council Members,
Below you will find an email that has been composed by a group of hard working individuals that strive to preserve what is left of LA’s crucial and beautiful natural landscape.

However before you read that I would like to express my personal opinion on why this house should not be built and this parcel of land should not be developed in any way shape or form.

I was born at Verdugo Hills Hospital, as I’m sure the two of you were as well, in April of 1999. Since then I have spent my childhood, my teenage years, and my years when I was back home from college exploring the Verdugos and Angeles National Forest. In my time at the University of Colorado Boulder for Environmental Design and some time at UCLA’s school of Architecture and Urban Design I learned about how nothing can stand alone in a vacuum. No mater what we do, what we build, or what we design we have a profound impacts on the ecosystems around us. These ecosystems are natural, like the one that will be impacted if this structure is built, and they are man made, like traffic and businesses and homes in a city.

Regardless of the type each small factor has a large role in the health of the entire system.

I am against the building of this structure because it is extremely short sighted and impacts the natural environment that has yet to be developed in an unnecessary way. This structure will be built on the edge of a community, the community that you represent, and put the people who already live there at a higher risk of fire because there will be less defensible space. This structure will also impact the ability of wildlife to move in and out of different areas in the Verdugos. This wildlife supports the ecosystems that make these hills so beautiful. By cutting off this corridor there is risk of damaging the overall ecosystem.

Finally, this is a large single family home that will benefit few and hurt many. It will hurt the community that you already represent. The community that you are already a part of.

Please consider all of the information available to you and think far into the future about what this land means and how it is better left undeveloped.

Sincerely,
Devon Garber

Additionally, the size and layout of the project obstructs fire department access to adjacent wildland areas. In the event of a wildfire, such as the ones that so recently devastated our community, this blocking of access in a high-risk fire zone endangers the safety of the neighborhood.

Just north of this site is a protected piece of land called the Sunshine Preserve, where neighborhood volunteers have invested hundreds of hours restoring native habitat. Their efforts have enriched the area's biodiversity and enhanced the land as a wildlife corridor, providing refuge for species including Bobcats, Mule Deer, and the iconic Monarch Butterflies whose populations are in decline. In addition to being documented on the Preserve, wildlife have been observed crossing the 1000 Sandringham Drive project site, demonstrating its active role in the wildlife corridor. Construction of the development as designed would not only disrupt this corridor but also undermine the spirit of the community's dedicated conservation work.

I ask that on February 11th you vote to overturn approval of the project and recommend design modifications that designate areas for wildlife passage and provide unimpeded access for fire personnel.

Subject: Urgent: Fire Safety & Wildlife at Risk – Oppose 1000 Sandringham Drive Project

CAUTION: This email was delivered from the Internet. Do not click links, open attachments, or reply if you are unsure as to the sender.

Dear Council Members,

I am writing to strongly urge you to overturn the Design Review Board’s approval of the development project at 1000 Sandringham Drive. As a resident of a nearby neighborhood, I am deeply concerned about the growing pattern of building in fire-prone areas without proper fire safety measures in place. This project, as currently designed, obstructs essential fire department access to adjacent wildland areas—an unacceptable risk, especially after the devastating wildfires we have so recently endured.

Beyond fire safety, this property is part of a well-documented wildlife corridor connecting the San Rafael Hills and Verdugo Mountains. The City of Glendale has committed to protecting wildlife corridors under the Greener Glendale Plan, yet this project disregards that responsibility. The site is actively used by species such as bobcats, mule deer, and monarch butterflies, all of which rely on safe passage. Just north of this site, the Sunshine Preserve stands as a testament to community-driven conservation. Allowing this development to proceed without adjustments would undermine these efforts and further fragment critical habitat.

Glendale needs to start approving developments that make sense for both people and the environment. I urge you to vote on February 11th to overturn this approval and require modifications that ensure proper fire access and maintain the integrity of the wildlife corridor. It is the responsibility of the Council to help residents and developers make smart, safe choices for our community’s future.

Thank you for your time.

Sincerely,
Samantha Guillen

Ps - Why do we need another generic suburban house with grey laminate flooring in fire prone areas? As someone who's been in LA for 10 years and from the Midwest/east before that, California is a special place and we're actively eradicating that nature. Why would I want to live in an expensive, concrete covered, climate impacted wasteland when I could reduce my cost of living and move to Chicago? The more we cut into our natural resources, the more we'll move away.

Dear Mr. Garcia and City Council,

There is a hearing before the City Council scheduled for 2/11/25 regarding an application to build a house at 1000 Sandringham . Our conservancy owns and operates a nature preserve located a short distance from the Sandringham property on Sunshine Drive known as the Sunshine Preserve. We are submitting comments to staff and the City Council.

We write to alert you to land use and CEQA issues detailed below, which we forward for your consideration.

Thank you,
John

Subject: Sandringham land use issues

Dear AFC,

I have a concern that the underlying parcel map for this property (PM GLN No 1377, PM144 4~5) contains two recorded instruments that may or may not still be in force. Instrument No 81-691511, Recorded 7-10-1981 a variable width easement of the City of Glendale for Fire Access Purposes and Instrument No. 81-832551, Recorded 8-19-1918, a variable width Slope Easement of the City of Glendale. While the appeal letter questioned the creation of this lot, as well as concerns with development on the slopes adjacent to the City open space and fire access easement, the response in the staff report states that the lot was created through a lot line adjustment back in 2004 and Fire states they don't have an easement. These answers may be correct, but appear incomplete.

Lot Line Adjustments (LLA) through Certificates of Compliance don't eliminate easements, nor do they nullify the underlying Parcel Map; they merely move a parcel line. The "variable width easements" for slope and fire access depicted on PM GLN No. 1377 Parcel A clearly include areas that are now part of the subject parcel. Are these instruments that created a variable fire access easement and variable width slope easement still in effect on the portion of the parcel that remains in private ownership? There is not enough information in the staff report attachments to make a determination one way or the other. So, yes, a LLA did occur subsequent to the parcel map which explains the different lot configuration, but the disposition of these easements remains unaddressed.

While a change in ownership from private property to City property would void portions of the variable fire access and slope easements within the area now owned by the City, it is unclear whether these easements remain in force on the subject parcel that remains in private ownership. If Fire says they have no fire access easement, what happened to it because it clearly existed in 1981? Was there a sunset clause in this variable fire access easement, or was a subsequent document recorded to terminate it? Fire access is critical in very high fire hazard areas. Why would the City not want to maintain fire access to its open space? These questions remain unresolved.

Similarly, without seeing Instrument No. 81-832551 it is unclear what that slope easement entails, or if it remains in effect. Slope easements can be reserved for a variety of reasons, often for maintenance and repair. However, slope easements sometimes prohibit modification of the slope by the property owner. Is this instrument in effect and what does it entail? Was a subsequent document recorded to terminate it? Lots of questions, but without a copy of the full Title Report, Schedule B there aren't answers.

When the easements were established in 1981 for GLN No 1377 A, the entire parcel was in private ownership. So, after 2004 when half the parcel became owned by the city, that part of the easement would no longer be necessary (because if the City owns the property it doesn't need an easement for itself.) I'm only questioning the validity of the variable easements for fire access and slope on the portion of property for the subject parcel that remained private property.

Sincerely,
Laura Stotler, AICP
AFC Advisor

Where did the Fire Access Easement go?

Underlying Parcel Map GLN No. 1337, PM 144 4~5 identifies a variable width easement of the City of Glendale for Fire Access on what is now a portion of the subject property. The appeal letter raised questions about the fire access, the Fire Access Easement is clearly shown and referenced on this parcel map. The staff report says that the City of Glendale approved a lot line adjustment in 2004, but a lot line adjustment (accomplished by recording a certificate or conditional certificate of compliance) does not eliminate easements or the underlying parcel map.

What is the status of Instrument No. 81-691511 recorded 7-10-1981? Has this easement been extinguished? If so, why would the portion of this easement remaining on private property have been eliminated when fire access to the City’s adjacent open space property remains a neighborhood concern? The status of this Fire Access Easement should be determined prior to project approval, not be delayed until building plan check, because proposed retaining walls will block critical access for firemen needing to access slopes below the backyard and adjacent to City Open Space.

Where did the variable width Slope Easement go?
The appeal letter raised concerns about the creation of this lot. The staff report says the lot was created in 2004 by moving a lot line created by Parcel Map GLN No 1377 PM 144 4~5.

However, that parcel map clearly identifies a variable width Slope Easement of the City of Glendale over a large portion of the subject property that is now proposed have multiple retaining walls adjacent to City Open Space, even on the City’s open space property line.

Lot line adjustments are accomplished through recording of a certificate of compliance or a conditional certificate of compliance to move property lines for ownership. Certificates of Compliance do not eliminate easements or the underlying parcel map. What is the status of Instrument No. 81-832551, recorded 8-19-1981? Has this easement been extinguished? If so, when and why would the portion of this easement remaining on private property have been eliminated when slopes adjacent to the City’s property remain? The language of this easement and its applicability to portions of this subject site should be reviewed prior to any land use approval on this property.
