    Hello, I represent the owner/landlord (S&P Hermosa Parent, LLC) of the property located at 1272 The Strand, Hermosa Beach, CA 90254. This property is currently occupied by The Deck Hermosa Beach, LLC, which operates as a local bar and restaurant. Today, the City brought it to owner/landlord’s attention that The Deck received three administrative citations from Code Enforcement in February and March of 2021 for a variety of infractions, including the violation of indoor capacity and social distancing protocols, allowing patrons to stand and congregate without wearing masks, playing loud music, and serving past the cutoff time when serving is no longer allowed. S&P was further informed by the City that these citations may come up for discussion during the Planning Commission meeting on July 20, 2021. On behalf of S&P, I would like to emphasize to the Planning Commission that The Deck’s lease expires at the end of July 2021 and a new tenant will be taking occupancy soon thereafter. With this upcoming expiration and The Deck’s planned vacation of the property, S&P asks that the Planning Commission refrain from taking any further action against The Deck or the property at this time. Thank you.

    I am opposed to the cell tower as currently planned for 2629 Manhattan Avenue. I am greatly concerned about the radiation levels and the fact that the receptors will be level with the second stories of nearby buildings. The radiation levels at the second story right across the street from the proposed installation will be near the cusp of the federal limits, limits that numerous studies show were set too high and are much higher than the limits in many other countries. The FCC's limits are based on thermal effects, yet many studies show disruptions to biological systems at radiation levels well below that limit. The placement of this installation will subject nearby homeowners and business workers to potentially harmful levels of radiation without their consent. I would personally prefer that no more cell receptors be placed in the area so long as cell service is adequate. However, if there is a need for more cell receptors, I would prefer a tall tower even if it exceeds height limits. Better yet, I would prefer one at the top of the hill by PCH and Longfellow that would have a wide reach and not block views. I would also prefer small cell sites on lampposts, as the radiation right next to the site will be much lower than from the current proposal.
