What price fresh air?
Residents will be surveyed next month to gauge their support for paying up to $40 million, through a bond measure, for the creation of parks, recreational fields and wetlands in Malibu.
The results of the Nov. 14 “baseline” or “benchmark” poll, approved during a special session of the City Council Monday, may determine whether a bond measure is even placed on the ballot in the April 2000 election.
Passage of a bond measure requires 67 percent voter approval, so if the survey shows public support at less than 35 percent, “You should give up,” said Bryan Godbe, who was hired by the city to conduct the poll.
A $30 million bond is “as high as you would want to test” because any higher amount would be “out of passage range,” Godbe said. Mayor Joan House and council members Tom Hasse and Harry Barovsky asked that the survey test public reaction to a $40 million bond.
If approved in the April 2000 election, the bond would be paid by increasing property taxes on homeowners and increasing rent on residents of mobile-home parks.
How much more in taxes homeowners would pay depends on the assessed valuation of a home, said City Manager Harry Peacock, who estimated the average assessed valuation in Malibu to be $500,000. Godbe figured that much over $46 per year per $100,000 assessed valuation “is not happening.” At $46, that would mean an average property tax increase of about $230 per year.
Residents of mobile-home parks, who do not pay a property tax because they rent, would pay only about $15 per year on a $30 million bond and about $20 per year on a $40 million bond, Peacock estimated.
A working draft of the questions to be asked will be prepared by next week, Godbe pledged. He encouraged councilmembers to send him their suggestions for questions by the end of this week. Hasse already had his questions prepared.
Barovsky wanted the survey to test people’s reaction to the bond measure if they knew that plans were being submitted to commercially develop the Chili Cook off site, as well as a parcel west of City Hall, and that increased development would mean increased traffic congestion.
About 400 people are expected to be surveyed by telephone for 15 minutes at dinnertime, and they would be asked between 75 and 95 questions, Godbe estimated. Councilwoman Carolyn Van Horn suggested that if the poll lasts longer than six to seven minutes, people would become annoyed, so they would more likely give negative responses. Since the issues concern the community, “people are more likely to stay with it than a product survey,” Godbe replied.
Considering the recent economic turmoil, especially in the stock market, House wondered whether people would be less willing to spend money. “It certainly will have an impact,” Godbe said.
The councilmembers expressed concern over the chances of success this time because a survey performed last year showed little support for increasing taxes to pay for public works. Godbe pointed out that there were multiple ballot questions last year, whereas this survey will be more focused. Also, he said, “If the bond measure is preceded by grants or private money, that’s useful.” Besides, he said, “Potholes are not as fun as parks.”
Based on the results of the baseline or benchmark survey, a program to educate the community will be formulated and implemented. With education you can “push support up to a level that can put it on the ballot,” Godbe said.
House suggested “a little education beforehand so people aren’t hit totally cold” by the survey, but Godbe said he would rather “find out where people are without information because you can’t predict what information may or may not work.”
Hasse questioned the legality of an education program sponsored by the city. “This city has to be very careful. What is advocacy versus what is education? The law is vague. I don’t want the city of Malibu to be a test case,” he said. He preferred to see the public educated through an “independent entity separate and apart from the city,” which, he thought, could include councilmembers.
Regardless of its legality, the public’s perception of an education program sponsored by the city would be too damaging, according to Godbe. “The politics would kill you long before the legal problems,” he said.
After education, there would be a “tracking” survey conducted to determine “if, in fact, [education] moved public opinion” Godbe said. Based on his experience, moving the public from 37 percent approval to the required 67 percent would take between 12 and 18 months.
Conservancy director may hold down the noise
Santa Monica Mountains Conservancy Executive Director Joe Edmiston came to the City Council meeting Monday armed with a proposal to ward off possible litigation with the city over zoning issues. The council was mum about the proposal, but City Attorney Christi Hogin later said that in closed session, the council members indicated they are prepared to file suit if one final option is not resolved to their satisfaction.
The Streisand Center for Conservancy Studies, an affiliated agency of the conservancy, holds private, catered functions at the facility in Ramirez Canyon to raise funds for its operation. The rental fees from the functions are also used to maintain the grounds at Barbra Streisand’s former estate, which she donated to the conservancy in 1993.
Residents are trying to end the functions, which they say have ruined the canyon. The events, often large weddings, bring noise and traffic into the private community almost every weekend, they say.
The city says the functions violate zoning laws because the conservancy has never applied for a special event permit for any of the three or so events held there each month.
The conservancy says it does not have to apply for a permit because, as a state agency, it is sovereign to the city.
Hogin agrees that the state normally has superseding authority over a city, but she maintains that the state must submit to local zoning laws when it rents out its property for reasons that have nothing to do with an agency’s purpose.
Edmiston touched only briefly on that issue at the meeting by acknowledging a difference of opinion on the matter.
“Your counsel and our counsel probably disagree over the extent to which the city can regulate the state of California,” he said.
Instead, Edmiston proposed having all future functions fulfill the requirements for obtaining a special event permit from the city, which he said would mainly mean lowering the decibel level of amplified music.
Edmiston said he hoped an agreement could be reached with the city, and he joked about sparring with City Manager Harry Peacock.
“If it doesn’t work, then Mr. Peacock and I can duke it out,” he said.
The council would not comment on the dispute. Hogin later said that during the closed session, the council members indicated they are concerned about the events at the center. The city is considering one final option, which she did not disclose, before proceeding with a lawsuit.
“The council wants it to go back to being a residential neighborhood,” she said.
I Remember
O’ Malibu, O’ Malibu, I remember years before
The laws and local politics
Came knocking at our door.
When life was peaceful and sublime,
And politicians weren’t around,
To display their ego – and justify –
Ideas far from sound
And now we have the Wetlands thing,
And Restrictions everywhere.
Home Business License and new Tax
And Controls, few sane would dare.
The Goby Habitat is due –
And dire Restrictions where to build.
If the slope is fifteen plus degrees,
You can’t afford the fill.
Inspectors hide on quiet days
Along our private streets;
Listening for the slightest sounds
From illegal home-alteration freaks.
Neighbors now are at great odds
On who should build on hills.
And even the colors that you paint
Are Controlled for window sills.
There are now environmental reviews
And Wetland Delineation –
Land Use subcommittees
And Task Force denigrations.
O’ how I long for years gone by
Before the politicians came;
And all the controls, and God what knows.
O’ please don’t use my name!

From the ‘Bu to the Big Apple
Acceptance into the prestigious Juilliard music school apparently came easily to Andrew von Oeyen. Staying there just might not be so easy.
Within a week of his arrival in New York, he suffered a collapsed lung and required hospitalization. Then there was that little incident while he was leading a Malibu Times reporter on an informal tour of the school, and security was called to escort the trespassers out of a locked theater lobby. If talent and personality have anything to do with it, however, one day Malibu’s favorite young pianist will number among Juilliard’s favorite graduates.
During lunch at Tavern on the Green, a block from the school, the modest, nearly 19-year-old unwillingly discusses his illness but willingly discusses music, although he mentions neither his winning the L.A. Philharmonic Orchestra’s Bronislaw Kaper Award, nor that he has already debuted with that orchestra, nor his vast concert history. Instead, he recounts the help his teachers proffered and the scholarships the Malibu community has awarded him — particularly the Malibu Woman’s Club and Malibu Rotary Club.
With 400 other piano hopefuls (1,000 had been screened), the Crossroads School graduate auditioned in New York for acceptance into Juilliard. “You’re given 10 minutes to prove what you’ve got to the piano faculty,” he says. They required four pieces from contrasting periods: baroque, classical, romantic and 20th century. Von Oeyen played Bach’s Prelude and Fugue in d from the Well-Tempered Clavier, Beethoven’s Waldstein Sonata, Schumann’s Piano Sonata No. 2 and Ginastera’s Piano Sonata No. 1. The faculty sat in a cold, dark room where they had been cloistered all day. “They didn’t smile,” he recalls.
He found his name and only one other listed on the callback board that afternoon. He suggests that he did well because his Los Angeles piano teacher, Daniel Pollack (USC’s reknowned piano professor), arranged for him to practice the night before at Steinway Hall. Also, he says, he felt relaxed knowing he made the callback and knowing, “If I didn’t get in Juilliard, I would also have a happy life going somewhere else.” He returned home and checked his mail every day. He was one of 20 pianists accepted.
Juilliard was his first choice, primarily so he could continue his studies with Juilliard piano professor Herbert Stessin. Von Oeyen studied with Stessin at the 1997 and 1998 Aspen Music Festival School. He says his teacher speaks to him in metaphors, which von Oeyen understands immediately.
On the night before his flight to school, he packed his suitcases until 3 a.m. His family came with him, stopping off in the Midwest for a family reunion. “Little did I know they’d be back in a couple of days to see me in the hospital,” he says.
He arrived in New York in time for Juilliard’s orientation. One week later, he experienced stabbing pains in his side and shortness of breath. He waited a day before seeing the school nurse. After X-rays were taken, he left campus for lunch. When he returned, the doctor was waiting for him with the news that an ambulance was on its way for him. “I was completely shocked,” von Oeyen says. “He reassured me that it was a common procedure to reinflate the lung, and that I would be out in a couple of days. I didn’t want to get on a gurney. It was embarrassing to be wheeled through the building. It was a really frightening experience on the gurney.” He missed the first week-and-a-half of school but nonetheless became one of the most well-known members of the freshman class. “Even people who didn’t know me here were very supportive,” he says. Students in the supposedly competitive school brought flowers and balloons to the hospital.
The lung reinflated, but the doctors found an air leak in it. They waited one week to see if the leak would stop. It did not. “I had the best thoracic surgeon in New York City,” he says of his stay at Beth Israel Hospital, which taught him to appreciate the medical profession.
From his room on the 26th floor of Juilliard’s Meredith Wilson Residence Hall, von Oeyen has a view over the upper west side of Manhattan and even up the Hudson River. He says he is there only to sleep and do homework. He shares a suite with music, drama and dance students. “The diversity is nice,” he says.
His classes include Music Theory 3 (thanks to Crossroads, he says, he passed over two semesters of theory), Music Literature, Music History, Ear Training, Piano Topics, Humanities, German, the Juilliard Colloquium (where he interacts with dance and drama students) and, of course, his piano lesson. “They give me time to practice,” he assures. “It is a perfect school.” Nonetheless, he hopes to supplement his education with a class in conducting (currently taught at the graduate level) and an additional class at Columbia University.
Meanwhile, he says, he must step out of the school for a while every day. “Otherwise,” he says, “the music starts to reflect the coldness and claustrophobia of a practice room.” So far, he has stepped out accompanied by the many visitors from Malibu who pass through New York, seeing theater or playing tourist in Times Square.
After lunch, in response to a bit of begging, von Oeyen gives a tour of the school. He is a one-man chamber of commerce. Without prompting, he recalls the interviewer’s answers to his lunch-time questions, so the tour passes a dance class in progress and through the theater department.
In the music department, he greets absolutely everyone, and many ask after his health. He seems to know not only every student’s name, but their prior teachers and the individual pieces each is working on. He is not shy about opening practice room doors to introduce one and all.
Soon we come upon his piano teacher’s room. Stessin is almost as open and chatty as von Oeyen, but his next student seems anxious to begin her lesson, so Stessin limits his on-the-record comments to, “He’s a good kid,” spoken with a definite twinkle in his eyes. In these days of political scrutiny, proper behavior seems valued above talent.
My tour guide suggests we see the theater where the school orchestra performs. We find our way into the basement, where a door leads us into the empty theater lobby. The door locks behind us. We pound on every possible exit. A man preparing the bar behind glass doors will not let us out and says he is calling security. I ponder how I can explain to his parents, the Rotary Club and the Malibu Woman’s Club how I got him tossed out of school after all he’d been through.
A security guard finally sets us free. We bid each other a conspiratorial goodbye. Von Oeyen heads for a practice room. He might be playing a nice transcription of “Fidelio.”
Andrew von Oeyen will appear with the Santa Monica Symphony Orchestra Dec. 13 at 4 p.m. at the Santa Monica Civic Auditorium.
City, Malibu Bay Company find little common ground on common ground
While Councilman Walt Keller argued with the Malibu Bay Company over which side is dragging its feet, community groups and landowners pledged, during a Land Use Subcommittee meeting last week, to work together on development of community centers, parks and recreational fields.
The Bay Company has offered to make available portions of its land parcels located in the Civic Center, Point Dume or Trancas area for use by the city in exchange for greater flexibility in developing its adjacent parcels. For the last eight months, however, the city council has shown little interest in reaching an agreement, according to David Reznick, a Bay Company official. “Obviously, we need further input from the city,” he said, in order to create a “thoughtful, sensitive plan.”
Keller blamed the Bay Company for the slow pace of negotiations. “You didn’t give us a concrete offer. We have to know what you’ll give us and what it will cost,” he explained, saying otherwise the city will not take any action.
At one point during the meeting, architect and local resident Ed Niles asked whether landowners have no choice but to give up land in order to be permitted to develop under the General Plan. “I guess it depends,” answered Keller.
The “most pressing” issue is where to build a senior center, according to Keller. Pepperdine officials were on hand to make a pitch for their proposed retirement community. Their “ideal location” would be behind City Hall and would include a commons building covering 18,000 – 20,000 square feet, according to John Elliot, senior real estate manager for the university.
The commons building would be open to all Malibu seniors, not just the 200 or so residents of the retirement community and their guests, if the city contributes about $300,000 available through the Community Development Block Grant Fund, said Michael O’Neil, vice chancellor for the university. However, he said, “If the city wants to build separately, then fine.”
The city has a tacit agreement that the block grant funds will be available through next summer, according to City Manager Harry Peacock. “However, after that we have no assurance that we can get a further extension,” he said, in which case the city would begin losing about $60,000 of the funds per year.
The city is considering building a center not just for seniors but for everyone in Malibu. “It’s a way to bring the community together and to realize we’re all one group wanting the same thing,” said Jo Fogg, a member of the Malibu Senior Citizens Club. Her proposal includes a daycare facility, a billiard room and an area for live music. “We would like to see this happen in our lifetime,” she said in disgust.
Aside from a community center, recreational parks should be built for the youngsters of Malibu, according to Stan Berk, president of Malibu Little League. “Malibu is not up to snuff in terms of what a normal Little League or soccer site is,” he said. Park users are so desperate for land, they are willing to take anything they can get. “We’re essentially being civic prostitutes,” he joked.
There are school district properties available that may be converted to recreational use, mentioned Peacock. Twenty acres are located across from Hughes market, another 20 acres sit next to the high school and six more acres are found in the Big Rock area, according to Peacock. He pointed out that some of the land is not flat, making recreational use difficult.
Before moving ahead with any plans for future parks, Keller said he preferred to wait until the Recreation & Parks Master Plan is completed in March, but those in attendance wanted to move ahead now. “I don’t think you have to wait until March,” said Joan Knapp. With everybody working together, she said, “we could come up with something specific very quickly.”

Roundtable invites public comment on business license proposal
Members of the Business Roundtable are urging the public to attend the November meeting of the roundtable to offer their views on a proposed business license program for the city. The roundtable plans to vote at the meeting on whether to recommend the program to the City Council.
The proposal, drawn up by a roundtable subcommittee, currently calls for an annual fee of $50 for storefront businesses and a $25 annual fee for home-based businesses. Nonprofit organizations and businesses earning less than $5,000 a year would be exempt from the licensing requirement. Under the proposal, the city would also take over the licensing of those businesses currently paying the county to operate — restaurants, service stations, liquor retailers and pawn shops.
“We urge everybody who has a feeling on it to come to the November meeting,” said roundtable chair Mark Ball.
The meeting will be Nov. 6 at 7:30 a.m. in the large conference room at City Hall.
