Jaspal SonI, 16138 Elza Drive, Hacienda Heights, owner of Dreamland Trailer Park, stated that he wanted to clarify that Steve Duggan was a disgruntled handyman, who thinks he's a licensed contractor, but he's not. He misrepresented himself as a licensed contractor but when the City checked up on him, found that he was not licensed. When the trailer park work was completed, he could not afford his wages or afford working with his attitude, so he let Mr. Duggan go. He further stated that Mr. Duggan is not a licensed electrician, that he was in partnership with someone, that Mr. Duggan used his partners license to work. He asked if Mr. Duggan was appointed by any State authority to make a judgement? He stated that the State had completed its inspection and that he has the approval of the State and it is exhibited in the brief. He stated that he is asking for the license to operate the trailer portion of the park and that the apartments are a different issue. He does not want the violations of the apartments to hold back his operation of the trailer park. The City has no jurisdiction over the trailer park. Pankaj B. Shah, General Contractor, 725 New Hampshire, Los Angeles, stated that he had been hired by Mr. Soni to give a proposal for the construction of the apartment units. The construction on the interior of the apartments can be done without problems, for security purposes, a 6 ft chain link fence will be installed during the construction period. There being no other speakers, Mayor Vargas declared the Public Hearing closed. In response to City Attorney Bower, Mr. Soni stated that all 12 pads have been certified by the State. Attorney Hendrickson stated that at the top of the page on Exhibit E, it states the total lots shown and that all 12 pads were approved by the State. She further stated that the February 7, 1996 letter stated that three mobile homes were not in compliance at that time, he was authorized to occupy 9 of the 12 lots. He subsequently removed the three trailers and that is why 12 can now be occupied. City Attorney Bower stated that in view of the late submission of the Public Hearing Brief, he suggested that Council take it under submission, that staff further review the information contained in the brief as well as looking at some of the allegations regarding violations that still exist, to see if they bear on the trailer park portion of the property, and that the appeal be brought back to the next meeting for a formal decision. It was moved and seconded to continue the Public Hearing to the next meeting.
