What Have We Done Lately?

Intervened on behalf of numerous homeowners next to properties being illegally enlarged or altered.
Monitored zoning and permit issues at public hearings where Brentwood interests are involved.
Assumed a leadership role in support of such matters as banning on leaf blowers; limiting or prohibiting the intrusion of business uses into residential areas; oversight of traffic, parking and street improvements; preventing catering trucks from parking all day on residential streets; and more.
Halted visual blight by pressing for enforcement of the San Vicente Corridor ordinance to keep signage to a minimum and rooftop mechanical equipment from view.
Convinced the city to force the Bel Air Summit Hotel to re-install fire hydrants and fire lanes to reduce the threat of a fire spreading to our homes.
Negotiated a complex agreement with the Getty Center on operating hours, noise and other factors affecting Brentwood.
Protected residences located near commercial buildings by getting developers to reconfigure exhaust fan and other noise sources, provide more underground or on-site parking, and making other changes.
Worked with LAPD to prevent the elimination of a nightly patrol car in Brentwood.
Created a new Sunset/405 Initiative to fight area traffic and congestion, along with the Bel Air Homeowners Association.
Invested in the clean up of the 405/Sunset northeast ramp with a monthly program and have begun discussions to create a permanent initiative to fund clean up and beautification around the entire interchange.
Helped to fund the annual LAPD officer get-together to further bolster relations between our community and the LAPD.
Created a massive petition drive which prevented the development of shopping center in the middle of Brentwood which would have led to the taking of a part of Gorham by the developer.
