Hi Tricia ,
I wanted to write you before your schedule booked up to see if you could meet with myself, Bob Turbin and Bob
Greenfield on December 3rd at 2pm (our original meeting date) . We feel the December 5th meeting with Archer
would be more productive if we could meet with you before then to talk about a few things.
Let me know .
Thanks again for your involvement in this. We really appreciate it.

Hi Tricia ,
I never heard back from you about future dates, but I know how busy you are. Not sure if we are going to try and
re-schedule before next Friday or not. I saw Elizabeth at a BHA meeting and she leaves to go out of town 12/20. Just
let me know .
Also, just wondering if you ever spoke with someone on the Archer team and what their response was.
If I don't talk to you before then , have a very merry Christmas and a healthy and happy new year.
All the best,
Thelma

Hi Thelma ,
I'm so sorry I haven't been able to schedule a follow up meeting yet. With the way my schedule is the rest of this

as possible in January tho. And I have started some initial discussions with archer, but need to keep talking ...

RE: ENV-2011-2689-EIR
I Support Archer's Campus Plan
Dear Mr. Villani:
As a resident of Brentwood, I am writin to su port Archer's Ian to im rove its cam us,
including the development of the residential 12ro e11ies that Archer owns immediately
In short, exceptional neighborhoods need to have exceptional schools , and our neighborhood
is fortunate to have both Brentwood School and The Archer School for Girls. However, while
Brentwood School has been allowed to develop its two campuses so as to provide its students
with modern facilities , Archer operates without basic facilities like a gymnasium.
As such, Archer simply intends to improve the former Eastern Star Home into a campus tha t
befits its excellent academics , and it intends to do so within the scale of the Brentwood
Village neighborhood. And if Archer is allowed to improve its campus , our neighborhood of
Brentwood gets improved as well.
Sincerely ,
iM~f Kv\e_

Dear Brentwood Homeowners Association and Brentwood Commun ity Council ;

Attached please find a letter I wrote back in November , 12, to Elizabeth English, Head of School at Archer.
voiced my concerns about their proposed project and , based on the DEIR which was j ust submitted , the size
and scope of the ir plan has not changed . Clearly , their plan does not respect the concerns of the neighbors nor
are they willing to make any concessions in order to preserve the integrity of our neighborhood. Elizabeth English
did answer my letter inviting me to a series of meeting so that they can
address specific concerns . She also made a point of saying that W ikipedia is NOT a legitimate sou rce of

RE: ENV-2011-2689-EIR
I Support Archer's Campus Plan
Dear Mr. Villani:
I am a physics teacher, grade-level dean, and soccer coach on Archer campus . In my two years at
Archer, I've found it to be a truly special place unlike any other school I've worked at or attended. One
of the things that makes Archer stand out to me is how involved both the faculty and student body are.
It is rare to find a student who is not involved in at least one extracurricular activity, and most are
involved in several. Students and faculty are able to pursue their interests and deeply engage in these
activities. As a result, there are countless events throughout the year, ranging from soccer games and
softball games, dance performances and music recitals, to art gallery openings and academic
conferences that students are involved in. Each of these events requires space and unfortunately, many
must take place off-campus because of our limited on-campus options. A consequence of this is that
many students are not able to take advantage of all the wonderful extracurricular options our school has
to offer . For athletes there is a strain on families having to transport from off-campus practice and game
locations . As a soccer coach, I see first-hand the toll this can have on students and their families,
having to travel to offs ite practice and game locations. Performers are sometimes forced to miss
valuable class-time in transit to their off-site rehearsals. Additionally, students and faculty who wish to
support their peers are less able to do so when so many events occur elsewhere in the city .
Archer's plan would provide modem athletic and performing arts facilities that would allow for most of
these extracurricular activities to take place on campus. This will make it possible for more students to
be involved, pursuing their passions and exploring new opportunities. It would also allow the rest of the
community to attend events such as home games and performances. We have an incredibly supportive
community here at Archer. This support helps the young women we serve become the confident and
multi-talented leaders of tomorrow . Please consider supporting our plan and help these students take
full advantage of the wonderful opportunities Archer offers .
Sincerely,
1~0~

Subject: Proposed -Archer expansion plan
April 25, 2014

Mr . Adam Villani
City of Los Angeles Department of City Planning
200 North Spring Street, Room 750
Re: oppose Archer Forward Plan As Propo sed (ENV-2011-2689-EIR)
Dear Mr . Villani,
I am writing on behalf of th e Upper Riviera Homeowners Association, which comprises approximate ly 65 homes north of Sunset in the
Pacific Palisades. Its offic ial mission is "t o promote the quality of life and safety in the Upper Riviera." The four streets included in thi s
association are: Umeo, Casale, San Onofre , and Alta Mur a, in addition to some houses on Capr i. Sunset Boulevard is the main artery to
and from our community. Adding more cars to the already congested Sunset Boulevard is not acceptable . However, it appears Archer's
propo sed expansion plan will do just that. We are concerned about the potential adverse aff,ects Archer's expansion will have on our
community due to the resulting increase In traffic .
With an expanded campus that would include five buildings instead of one, Arche r proposes an increase in other activities that will lead to
mo re visitors and car trips. Archer's plan would bring over 30,000 new visitors to an already congested area. To accommodate this
increased use, Archer proposes building a 212 car-parking garage that would be ut ilized duri11gschool hour s at capacity for staff and
stud ents and then again fro m 3:30pm to 10:00pm for visito rs coming to campus for athletic event s, special events, and performing art
events . This represents more than a 100% increase in the numbe r of cars currently exiting onto Sunset Boulevard during peak hours.
The Los Angeles Departmen t of Transportation (LADOT) analyzed Ar cher's propos al and states in t he DEIRthat the proposed proje ct will
create SIGNIFICANT Impacts at the following six Intersections that CANNOT be physically mitigated . The LADOT goes on to say tha t even
with the proposed mitigation measures, should the Project be built out , the impact at these inters ections during various event-day
scenarios will remain significant and unavoidable .
Bundy Drive and Sunset Boulevard
Saltair Avenue and Sunset Boulevard
.. Barrington Avenue and sunset Boulevard
Barrington Avenue and Montana Avenue
Barrington Avenue and Wi lshire Boulevard
Barrington Place and Sunset Boulevard
For th e last five years we have had to endure the effects of the 1-405 w idening project. Even 110 w with the Sunset Bridge open and the
project close to ending, traffic is regularly backed up to Paul Revere. Oftentim es Sunset Boulevard is th e only way for our resident s to
reach the freeway and it can take hours when it shou ld in reality take minute s. Now we will have to endure another six year s of
construction w ith Archer 's overly ambitious plan t hat will make traffic unbearable , an impact the DEIRsays will be significant and
unavoidable. While construction traffi c may appear to be temporary, t he reality is that it is not . With one project ending, another
begins-widen ing of Wilshire Boulevard near the VA for t he Wilshire Bus Rapid Transit Project ; California Incline Replacement; large
projects approved in Santa Monica; Archer School Expansion. With lane closures on Pacific Coast Highway because of the California
Incline Replacement, Sunset Boulevard is the only option to travel out of our community . And with cars being diverted from Wilshire to
Sunset and from PCH to Sunset, t raffic will be even more unbearable . The effect is that "te mporary" traffic from construct ion becomes
permanent as more cars alter their routines and do not revert to standard traffic patterns because of the endless construction projec ts on
the ir normal routes .

Hello Mike,
I'm the heartless timer who sat next to you at the SBRAAnnual Meeting where you spoke on April 17. I just wanted to point
out that Wendy Sue Rosenis on the warpath again and appears to be using information about the Archer project that is not
current. This observation is just mine, as someone who attended the last BCCmeeting and heard updates from Archer. Also I
haven't made a personal decision about the project yet, but responsesthat you get to WSR'spet ition will represent
responsesto a project that no longer exists as stated on-line.

first time i have seen neighbors stance so clearly articulated in bullet point form
Councilmember, 11th District
To : mike.bonin@lacity .org
Dear Councilman Bonin ,

I am writing to ask that you veto , or at the very least support the alternative plan to The Archer School massive
expansion plan. As a resident of Mandeville Canyon for the past 15 years, I have seen traffic going East on Sunset
and San Vicente Blvd. from Bundy Drive increase to the point where I either have to take side streets (when possible
- which it is not when going to the 405 Hwy.), or spend up to a half hour - or more if there is construction or an
accident - to just get from Bundy to Barrington or the 405 , or just turn around and not go to my local stores ,
restaurants , bank , etc. In fact the traffic has gotten so bad that it sometimes is stalled almost all the way to Mandeville
Canyon itself.
As I am sure you know , the report from the Department of Transportation indicated that the Archer School proposal
will create SIGNIFICANT impacts on both Bundy Drive and Sunset Blvd, and Barrington Avenue and Sunset Blvd,
Wilshire Blvd, and Montana Avenue, as well as Barrington Place and Sunset , which CANNOT BE PHYSICALLY
MITIGATED. The consequences of this is truly a nightmare for those of us who live in this wonderful area .
I think it is also very unfair for all of us who live here to have to suffer because the Archer School is choosing to
renege on their agreement with the Brentwood Homeowners Association , neighbors and the City who put in place
restrictions (made 15 years ago when they came here). Their new proposal has no commitment to keep the existing
use restrictions in place.
PLEASE HELP!
A number of my neighbors support an alternative plan that reduces the size and scope of the proposed project as well
as traffic and puts less burden on the neighborhood . I myself would prefer it to be vetoed in entirety but if not, I
definitely support their alternative plan over the terrible Archer Forward Plan.
Thank you so much,
Laurie Lerner

Hi Tricia,
I am cleaning out to WLA voicemailbox and there was a saved message from May 21st from Larry Watts of BCC for
you. Sending along in the event the interns didn't. If you've received it, please disregard .
Larry Watts called to speak with you regarding Archer , and states the BCC continues to try to work with the school to
narrow issues, and have remained fairly optimistic that they will be able to reach a compromise that works for
everyone . Please give him a call back if you get a chance.

'
I don't know this group at all, so I am not sure if there will be any Archer supporters there , or if the people in this group
will sha re the views of the BCC who are more focused on operation , the neighbors who are more focused on the
character of the built camgus or BHA who seems to be focused on traffic and the residentia l properties . So the
following bullets are intended to cover all the bases .
- You have seen and you and yoLir staff have been paying attention to all the comment letters that have been
submitted .
- You have been working closely with the neighbors , BCC, BHA , and with Archer as well, to identify the issues with
the project and to see whether and what solutions there are for the issues.
- As they can imagine , the overarching issue that you have heard from people who have commented is traffic, and
specifically the traffic impacts on Sunset.
- Traffic is by far the biggest issue for you as well , since as everyone knows, traffic on Sunset is unbearable.
- You have been carefully considering the comments from the community and balancing the needs of the school to
modernize their campus and to provide a competitive program that serves the students well.
- But that project has to be done in a way that minimizes impacts on the community.
- What you would like to see is a project that doesn't have significant traffic impacts , that is sensitive to the neighbors
and doesn't overwhelm the surrounding area with out of scale development, and that doesn't increase the activity on
campus in a way that is out of sync with the neighborhood .
- What you are pleased thus far is the traffic management measures that will continue to be undertaken and
improved on , and you would like to see other schools in the area follow suit. If all schools had robust traffic
management requirements , that could help the traffic on sunset in a way that no school operating alone could do.
Status
- The Draft EIR comment period is closed , and the Planning Department along with the Archer team is working on
preparing responses to all the comments that were submitted .
- As you can imagine, there were a LOT of comments submitted. Quite possibly hundreds ... ! don't have an actual
tally .
- There is no set schedule yet for when the responses to comments will be completed, but while that process is going
forward , you will be working with the Archer team to revise the proposed proejct in a way that responds to the issues
that were raised.
(Not for public consumption yet, but it looks like it could take until about September to respond to all the comments .)
Related note: Archer has their biannual Neighborhood Liaison meeting tomorrow Wed night at the school. Notices
were mailed out a couple weeks ago, and I am hoping that Norman can cover that meeting for me, be I have a
conflicting meeting tomorrow night.

Hi Trica
There is a meeting of the BCC Land Use Committee on Monday, and Archer is on the Agenda.
It really would help move forward the process of arriving at a Covenant if we could get Mike's and your comments on the
BHA draft Proposal.
If you would like to discuss it in person rather than email, let's try to find a time.

H i Mike,
I urge you to read between the lines of the email Rod sent to you las1 night regarding a meeting with all Brentwood
entit ies involved with Arc her. He is losing it, rude, defiant, swelled heads, ent itled and hard to take .
BCC will not being doing much until Larry returns from Europe in three weeks. BCC has worked diligently to see if
there is a way to save the community from more traffic which is a portion of the i:1i
e we think we are respons ible to
address . The neighbors and BHA want less cami:ius which can be done . That too will make less traffic.
Very disappointed in their demeanor and no intention to meet unless at the very least , a mediator is present. He
desp ises A rche r, influent ial people, any talk that Archer wants a particular a eel, the lawyers , etc . One unhappy
camper.
Hope you and Sean are well and happy. I am still smiling over your very spec ial wedding . It was one of the best I
have ever been to! Hope to see you soon and hear you really well!

Thanks Norman . Hi Tricia,

We wou ld love to meet w ith ou and Councilman Bonin and express our concerns. What is the timing of
Councilman Benin's decision? Michelle Bisnoff told us that her understanding from BCC is that Councilman Bonin
will likely agree with the outcome of the Archer + neighbor + BHA meetings. Is it true that Councilman Bonin is
only meeting with Brentwood Homeowne rs Association? I think there are at least 10 HOAs in Brentwood alone,
not to mention the Palisades. All of us stand to be severely im acted by any construction at the Sunse t and
Barrington cam('.!U
S for The Ar cher School for Girls.
I know our President. Eric Edmunds . sent a letter to your office. on behalf of Brentwood Hills Homeowners
Association BHHA) and another letter from himself personally. How can we open up these discussions to include
all the HOAs impacted, so that Councilman Bonin is completely aware of how his constituents in Brentwood feel
about the possibility of 3-6 years more of construction, impacting traffic flow along Sunset Boulevard?

Here's a quick description of what I wanted to chat with you about before the 3 pm meeting--you
might be able to just respond by email.
Archer wanted some clarification about your position on the 2 gyms/multipurpose
facility issue
that was discussed at our last meeting with Archer and the stakeholder groups. in that meeting,
you acknowledged the neighbors' concerns with the two gyms, and said that it will be an uphill
battle to convince you that having both gyms is going to be okay.
I talked to Steve today, and Archer is concerned that meant that you aren 't okay with having two
building -- and that the comments might have empowered the neighbors to think they could get
rid of the second gym. I took the statement to mean that having the two buildings ( one below
ground and one above ground) was okay -- but only if Archer could convince us that there were
not going to be impacts (traffic, noise, quality of life, etc) from having the second gym.
My question is. assuming that Archer can convince us that there will not be any traffic and
neighborhood quality of life impacts from the second facility. are you okay with them having both
gyms, and me telling the neighbors today that the issue is the impacts more than it is the
existenceof the facilities themselves?

Thanks. If there's any way you can get to Elizabeth sooner that would be good .
She has to speak to parents tonight at 5:00ish (me included) at back to school night hence the urgency
The email blast was a bit of a kick in the gut. I know she's concerned about how the archer community will perceive things ,
etc. There's the political piece of it (which we all get), but there 's also how things cou ld impact our commun ity, her leadership ,
etc.
Your telling her what you'll support will go a long way .
Thanks!

Happy Friday!
So once again the day is off and running at Barn!! I received an email with this link th is morning. It includes a
letter from the Archer Board to the Archer community. Many in our community have seen it and it is
upsetting to some. Especially the sentence "Rest assured , we will never agree to any changes that
compromise our mission for current and future Archer students ."
Just wanted to give you a heads up in case you get some feedback or emails. Maybe you've already seen
it. I hope this is not indicative of Arche 's o mitment to reaching a compromise. I get the sense that they
feel they don't need to respond to Mike's letter because they feel their modified plan already addressed all of
the issues, but clearly it did not. I guess I will never understand how they think they "worked " with the
neighbors when they stopped talking to us for six months yet somehow came up with a "neighborhood" plan
that still includes filming and Saturday use and 86 special events . And that their argument for a second gym
is "we need it." Oh well. We w ill keei:i moving forward and hopefully we can successfully resolve the issues.
Rest assured , I am trying to keep a level head and report only the facts on my website!! :)

The Archer Board sent a letter to its communit y in response to our lette r. The text of the let ter is
below.
have eard some concern s abou t Archer 's response, particula rly because of the line, " Rest
assure I we will never agree to any changes that compromise our mission for current and future
rcher students." Thelma is concerned that that means Archer isn't willing to comprosmise. I
actually think this helps to set up a constructive process forward because if Archer presents the
revised project to the BCC that addresses all of the issues that your letter raised, it can be seen as
you exerting strong leadership in response to com
ity concerns- -and gettin g results--and Archer
makin g changes that it represents work for its school.
Dear Archer Community:Three years ago, The Archer School for Girls embarked on a campus plan designed
to support our mission to educate future generations of girls in Los Angeles. To achieve our 2 1st century
mission, Archer must provide our students accessto modern facilities designed for the way girls learn
best.After count less meetings and hundreds of hours wo rking w ith community groups, neighbors, and other
stakeholders, Los Angeles CityCouncilmanMikeBonin issued a public letter today outl ining some changes to
the original Archer Forward plan that must be made in order to secure his support.We know that the
Councilman ultimately supports our educational mission and is clearly focused on a project he can actively
support. Many of the items he has outlined are issues we have already addressed w ith our neighbors, and
with his clear guidan ce both the community and Archer have a road map to fol low.Rest assured, we will never
agree to any changes that compromise our mission for current and future Archer student s. We remain

I actually like it. It puts you in the position of shepherding through a comprom ise plan . If/when a compromise Archer plan is
approved, Archer will crow about it like it is the greatest thing they ever did , and they will have already set you up as the guy
that made it possible .

I am plannin g on attending the BCC meet ing tonight, and we should touch base about what I should be

Cur rent ly, the agen da has Beth Gordi e making a presentation on behalf of Archer and Thelma making a
presentation on beha lf of the neighbors. For "norma l" projects, we don't typ ically speak at neig hborhood or
community counci l meetings because we want to make sure that each organizat ion has the opportunity and
space to make their own decisio ns about projects. However, I don't think our standard policy necessarily
MTC007
makes sense here because we have already made a very public statement about your position on the
proje ct .
My thought is that I ask to speak first and t hat I make statements essentially reiterating the terms of the
lette r. If you agree with this approach, I'll ask Bryan and Larr if I can speak first .
Here are my proposed talking points.
Talking Points for BCC
Than k you for giving me an opportunity to speak tonight . I would like to thank the BCC, and the
Land Use Committee for spending a considerable amount of time and effort on this project. I would
also lik e to thank all the other community stakeholders, including the Residential Neighbors of Archer
and the BHA, for countless hours and a lot of effort in working toward a project that is the right fit for
the community . Needless to say, a lot of people have dedicated a lot of time and brainpower t o this
project.
As many (or probably all) of you know, the Counc il member released a letter last week about the
Archer School's proposal.
It is true that Archer is an incredible academic institution, and it provides amazing opportunities
for our girls and young women.
It is also true that the project described in Archer's Draft EIR was ambitious, and for it to be the
right fit for the community, it needed to be scaled back.
As the Councilman has said, in evaluating this project, he is first viewing it through the lens of
how it will affect traffic and congestion. His primary concern is the impacts of the project on traffic-both in the surrounding neighborhood and regionally- -and making sure that the project does not
increase traffic impacts .
The second key issue (and a very close second) that guides the Counc il man's evaluation is how
the project will affect the quality of life of the surrounding neighbors.
And all of this is evaluated primarily through the lens of ensuring that the operational impacts of
the project do not unfairly or unduly burden the surrounding neighbors or the surrounding
commun it y.
The Councilman's letter detailed a number of changes--both big and small things--that needed
to be made to the project in order to gain his support. The changes fall into three main categories:
{l) changes needed to address traffic impacts, (2) changes to address neighborhood impacts, and (3)
changes to the physical footpr int of the project.
We have been working closely with Archer and the stakeholder groups fo r many months now,
and we know that this process started before the Councilman even took office. Based on those
meetings, we are confident that the issues laid out in the Councilman's letter can be addressed and
that working together, we can all make this project right for Brentwood.

I want to address certain process questions and concerns that were raised at the October BCC
meeting following Archer's presentatio n of its revised Archer Forward.
As our meeting demonstrated, large meetings are not effective ways to delve into the details of big
projects. So when Archer Forward first arose about two years ago, our LUC and Transportation
Committee were asked to study the project. Both committees are composed of volunteers. There
are currently 19 individuals on the LUC chaired by Bryan Gordon and 9 individuals on the
Transportation Committee chaired by Lauren Cole. As permitted by our by-laws, the committees
include some individuals who are not BCC members. Given the complexity of Archer Forward, Bryan
asked for volunteers who were willing to devote many hours on a special Archer subcommittee.

Subj ect: RE: Archer School Proposal
Dear Mike,
Congratulations !! Excellent letter. I am confident that everyone will strongly support you,
and rejoice at the realization that we have a very dedicated and intelligent Councilman ,
capable of realizing the nature of this major problem , and looking out for the whole
community.
Now let's try to get it done. Your first priority item is: "Eliminate ALL significant Traffic
Impacts from school operations".
In order for us to verify this, we need an independent traffic analysis, conducted by
professionals. It is my opinion, that for the commun ity to be convinced of th is, we need a
"Time Stud:i.!" identifying the delays in time units , as opposed to some vague intersection
designation such as A to F.
A Traffic Engineer estimated this study to be around $30,000. It is my opinion that it could be
closer to $50,000 after all is said and done. My request is that Archer de posit this amount
with CD- 11 for dispersion at our discretion. I believe, it is time to take some positive steps
forward .
Awaiting your respons , Thanks again. Ike
P.S.On the "Bundy Village" development proposal, Bill Rosendahl convinced the developer to
provide $25,000 for our proposed time study.

Is Ike affiliated with the BCC or with any of the other community groups? I know that BCC and maybe the neighbors
have been or will be engaging their own traffic consultants. I am wondering whether he could work with them on
getting the info that he wants . However , before mentioning anything to him could you let me know if he is connected

NK, if you don't mind, perhaps you could respond saying that you were under the impression that BCC was
pplanning on getting an independent evaluation of the traffic conclusions already, and then just see what he says in
response to that. We can't make archer pay for a group to hire their own traffic consultant and I suspect they won't
be all that eager to do so voluntarily.

construction plans at Archer . You said to the all girls school , NO FIELD LIGHTS . You said to the all girls' school NO
POOL. You are also not allowing certain other improvements out of consideration to Archer's neighbors. And , Archer
has agreed to comply to every one of your demands ; they w ish to remain on good terms with their neighbors.
Council Member Bonin , why is it OK for Pali to have purchased and installed new field lights that are too high , too
bright , and are pointed directly into our homes and not down towards the field , but it is not OK for the Archer School
For Girls to have field lights AT ALL?
Council Member Bonin , why is it OK that Pali was allowed to build an outdoor aquatic center that contributes to the
constant noise pollution coming from Pali High and not allow the Archer School For Girls to build an (indoor?) pool?
I have made some very valid points that I would like to hear addressed ASAP.
Thank you for reading my letter .

approval. That letter is attached here . (ADD LINK)
My letter called for changes to the proposed structures in the project , and it called for
changes in the operational impacts of the project, addressing neighborhood impacts

Today, the project's Final EIR was released . I am pleased and grateful to see that
Archer has agreed to all of the structural changes I requested, including the
elimination of field lights, the elimination of the Aquatics Center, and LIST A FEW
MORE. I commend them for listening to me and to the community.
As for the operational changes, Archer 's efforts are underway , but far from finished .
I set an admittedly very high bar for Archer to address and resolve concerns with
traffic and neighborhood impacts in its Conditional Use Permit. There are
many operational changes still to made, and many operational issues still to be
worked out. That will take months more of continued collaboration and negotiation
with my office and the Brentwood community . In the end , I suspect the specifics of
the proposed Conditional Use Permit will need to revised significantly.
Often , in situations like this, an institution will react negatively , move into a hostile
and combative mode , refuse to make changes, and try to win approval without
community support. I appreciate Archer's willingness to act collaboratively ,
recognize its excellent academic programs are offered at an incredibly complicated
location , and agree to continue working with neighbors and local stakeholders to
modify the project.
We have a lot of hard work ahead. I remain firm on my demands , and I am
optimistic they can be met.

Here's my attempt at something that could possibly work. If this can't resolved in one more round
of drafts, I don't know that we are going to be able to get there.
On October 2, I sent a letter to the Brentwood Community outlining issues and concerns I had with
the Archer School for Girls' original expansion proposal for its Brentwood campus. In that letter, I identified more
than 30 necessary changes for Archer to make the project appropriate for the neighborhood and to win my approval.
That letter can be read here: http://www. l l thdistrict.com/archer school proposal.
My letter called for changes to the proposed structures in the project, and it called for changes in the opel'ations of
the project , to address neighborhood impacts and universal concerns about traffic . Archer promptly agreed to meet
all my demands and, with the release of the Final EIR, we got a chance to measure their progress in meeting those
commitments .
I am pleased and grateful to see that Archer has made all of the structural changes I requested, including key
structural changes like the elimination of field lights, the elimination of the Aquatics Center, and a reduction in the
size of the Performing Alts Center. I commend them for listening to me and to the community.
Along with the structural changes, Archer has agreed to make operational changes to avoid negative impacts on traffic and
on the neighborhood. I set an admittedly high bar for Archer to address and resolve concerns with traffic and neighborhood
impacts. Archer has committed to t his goal. To build on the th e operational changes included in the Final EIR, my office will
continue to work with Archer and the Brentwood community over the coming months to develop detailed language about
how the operational impacts w ill be addressed in the proposed Condit ional Use Permit .

Archer school presented to the Brentwood Hills Homeowners Association and I cannot understand why anyone would allow us
to be subjected to 5-6 years of ongoing construction and a new rush hour caused by added developments and events. I am
personally beside myself to learn that getting out of Mandeville Canyon will be harder for longer????? Mike - I heard you speak
at our Homeowners gathering. I thought I heard you would protect us. This is unacceptable - I asked you at that time to do an
ecumenic study on the loss of business to Barrington businesses and an emotional impact report on the neighbors. THIS ISN'T

I think the big point to make is that there hasn't been a "Compromise" yet, though there have been
comprom ises. We are still in discussion s with Archer, and with stakeholder groups, and the re ar e still details
to be worked out to determine how impacts like the ones she is mentioning can be addressed. One of the
many t hings t hat Mike asked for was for Archer to have a shorter construction sch edule, becau se we agree
that 5-6 years of construction would create impacts on the community . How const ruction impacts can be
reduced and how ope rational impacts can be reduced are all part of the on-going discussions and negotiations
that we are having .

Dear Councilman Bonin and Archer Neighbor Friends,
We are responding to Wendy Rosen's email regarding Archer School's plans for construction.dated November 25, 2014.
We are shocked to see Archer's supposed "Compromise Plan". Archer is not acting in good faith when they propose
"compromises" that are still increases in every part of their proposal.
Living in Brentwood, on Mandeville Canyon for over 35 years, we NEVER go east on Sunset after 1:30 PM. The traffic on
Sunset is HORRENDOUS , and as you said "one of the worst traffic choke points in the city". The situation has had.E.
serious impact on our ability to Shop, socialize and participate in important events .
We really support NO NEW CONSTRUCTION, however, any new work should be limited to the conditions stated in the
original CUP. NO COMPROMISES.
We plan to attend the Dec . 8 hearing at the University Synagogue. See you there.
THANK YOU ( and the residential neighbors of the Archer compromise plan) for your support and continuing efforts. WE
NEED TO STAND TOGETHER TO IMPROVE THE DAILY LIVES OF ALL THE CITIZENS OF BRENTWOOD!
Sincerely,

We saw it. I think the community groups are coming under pressure from constituents that are hearing Archer say that
there is a compromise. I wish they would stop saying that. It's not helpful. It's also not true yet.
Dear Councilman Bonin,
I am a homeowner and resident of Mandeville Canyon.

I Strongly oppose Archer's modified plan. This community cannot endure the construction impacts of
Archer 's overly ambitious modified plan. Five (5) long years of construct ion impacting Sunset Blvd is too
much for our community to bear. And for what , a private school that will Not benefit the community , just
a few people? Are you kidding? No it 's not worth it!

it's the plan that thelma has been showing you. It involves one gym (above ground so there is no excavation

It's very difficult to argue that archer can expand the campus without making traffic worse. It's counterintuitive. Even if archer
doesn't put a single additional car on the road, traffic on Sunset will grow regardless and residents will blame the Archer
project.. because it just makes sense.

Mike,
In a couple hours will be the hearing on Archer . I and my wife w ill attend and testify , and I trust you will be there too .
I am sure the room will be packed with Archer students, families , lobbyists and lawyers . As President of Brentwood
Hills Homeowners Association (you graciously attended our annual meeting in October), and Chair of Save Our
Mountains Inc ., a coalition of homeowners associations and 11,000 citizens who have signed our petitions, I want to
s12
eak up again about this subject.
We urge ou to enforce and ai;,plt Alternative 2 of the w oposal, providing that Archer live w ithin its current Conditional
Use Permit (CUP) .
Ten or fifteen years ago, I attended a standing-room-only mass meeting over Archer , held at the "Olymp ic Collection"
at Olympic and Sawtelle . The room was highly-charged, and I remember testify ing as President of Brentwoo d Hills .
At that time our ass ociation advocate d in support of A rcher's move from Palisades Village to the historic Eastern Star
Home. Why? Because we did not want to see the Home razed and replaced with condos. Then-Councilwo man
Cindy Misc ikows ki ultimately made the controvers ial decision to "green-light" the move, but imposed upon Arc her a
strict set of guidelines or "envelope" within wh ich it had to live (the Conditional Use Permit) .
In the ens uing years , two things happened. Traffic and afternoon gridlock on Sunset grew exp onentially wo rse, and
(unbeknownst to us) Arc her obtained four modifications and ex pansions of its CUP .
There is no other way to put it, traffi c on Sunset today has become unbearable. Afte r three in the afte rnoon, we are
essent ially prisoners in our own community. As you yourself have said, Caltrans' three-year proj ect widening Sunset
over the 405 and re-configuring the on-ramps and off-ramps, was absolutely useless and ineff ectual, whil e inflic ting
misery, pain and suffering on the com munity . There was no excuse for that, other than some bureaucrats in
Sacramento who could not care less about our quality of life.
Now , the 500-pound gorilla that not even Archer is talking about, is the FIVE YEA RS of co nstruction traffic misery that
Archer proposes to inflict on us. And that is Archer's best-case scenario: their original, and more ca ndid, sce nario was
six years . And when was the last time you saw a major const ruction project come in under budget and fas ter than
projected?
It would be one thing if overnight , a new Archer campus could be parachuted into place, w ith a 43-vehicle-increase cap
between 3 and 4 o'clock , etc etc. It's the five to seven (or more?) years of construct ion, and construction traffi c, we
are talking about.
Rumor has it yo u have made known that you are in favor of "some project", and that our commun ity "must
co mpromise" on this iss ue. I urge you to reconsider.
I don't know how to say this politely or di lomaticallyJ so I'll just say it. You could be a one-term councilman over this
issue. When my constituents are seething in afternoon gridlock, seeing their one-hour commute to the freeway expand
to an hour and a half or two hours (for whatever reason!), and they see dump-trucks , cement haul~~rfbed

We need to respond to him asap, well before the meeting tonight, with the response that Mike suggested pointing

Probably more supporters than opponents. However there were a lot of Archer studen ts in Archer parents in the room.
what is important to note is that the re were a lot of Archer supporters who are from zip code 90049 and not all of them were
just pa rents of students .
there we re obvious ly a lot of peop le there in opposition as well and the issues that were raised were the ones that we know

Norman is totally right. Arche r is the communities lightning rod for traffic on sunset.
we really do need to think about something lo address traffic on sunset because it isn't the fault of any one project on Sunset
but any project is going to get blamed. and it wo n't do any good for improving traffic j ust to keep denying these projects
because the problem exist desp ite the projects .

three years of 405 construction, we can't tolerate more traffic gridlock that this expansion will cause, both
during and after the construction.
I'm just one of many who've spent excruciating hours trapped on Sunset Boulevard. Navigating Sunset Blvd.
greatly impacts our daily lives.
Please encourage Archer to look elsewhere for its expansion plans, not in an area that simply can 't sustain
that kind of growth.

Councilman Mike Bonin

Dear Mike
The Home Owners Association of Upper Mandeville Canyon wants to express our firm
opposition to any expansion of the Archer School for Girls, which would increase traffic at
its location on Sunset at Barrington Avenue. We are also in sympathy with the immed iate
neighbors of the school , who would have to bear years of construction noise and
congestion . We note the arguments on all sides of the issue and feel that even a
compromise plan cannot avoid an intolerable impact on that intersect ion and on that
neighbor hood. In addition to delays and inconveniences , we dread the damage to
neighboring home values. Who wo uld purchase a home that is subject to so much
construction agony for such a long period of time? Facilities may need remodel ing, but thE
plans at Archer far exceed an updating of classrooms and equipment. If excellence in
education is the purpose of Archer 's upgrade , that can surely be achieved without such an
impact on the community.
Thank you for your attent ion to this matter.

I agree that this could be helpful. The two major goals that sti ll need to be met are clear, detailed
operational constraints on the project that will ensure neighborhood protection (done in a way that still
allows for the school to reasonably operate) and clear, detailed construction conditions to minimize the
number of days that there is construction activity and to minimize the traffic impacts from that activity.
(Related to this, I had a meeting with Archer's construction team today to get into the details - -I can brief
you).
This could also be a chance to start reframing the issue of Sunset traffic not being just about any one
project but really an issue that everyone has a responsibility to solve and that we need to look at it
holistically, and get the right expertise to focus on it .

Larry ,
Thank you for offering to help . Unfortunately , we have not made any progress in reaching an understanding with
Archer. The primary concerns for the residents remain the same-the size of the project and the intensity of use .
Archer 's modified plan does not address these issues ; therefore, we need your help in supporting Alternative 2 at
the next BCC meeting since it is the only real comprom ise. Alternative 2 allows Archer to develop its campus while
preserving a measure of protection for the residents who bear the burden of Archer 's expansion . To be clear, the
increase in athletic events under Alt 2 with the new gym will impact traffic and will need to be mitigated, something
Archer recognizes in the DEIR (see Table V-1 in the DEIR). As I stated in my presentation to BCC in October,
Archer has merely taken off the table items it knew it could never get approved. In order to have a real
compromise, Archer must be willing to address our concerns with meaningful changes to the project. Your support
of Alternative 2 will hel Archer move toward a compromise .
Thank you ,

FYI. I suspected based on her comments at the last BCC meeting that Thelma has tuned out. Her
attached response to me seems to confirm this . I had a meeting yesterday with Robert Rene,
Brentwood HOA president. It went well. He doe sn't seem wedded to Alt ern ative 2. He suggested a
meeting between Leber, an Archer decision maker and me . He said he had warned the BHA board
of allowing ideologues ta ke the lead on Arche r. I asked whether the BHA board would go along with
whatever we might come up with and his response was, "I can make it happen." He agreed with the
approach of identifying a list of issues and checking them off one by one and recogni zes the futility
of endless discussions about the entire project. He agreed the physical build out should not be an
issue except in terms of adding to length of t ime to complete the project. He will talk to Leber and
will get back to me .
It is late in the day to start this discussion, but probabl worth a tr . Getting BHA and Archer on the
same page would make our job a lot easier.

I just saw this email, I'm not sure what the question is but wanted to give you a heads up before I called him. I'm also
drafting a response back to Nancy .
I an going to assume the question is similar to what Nancy was asking , namely whether you are okay with the site
Ian. If that's what he's asking , the answer to that is,.you need to see that the operations can be managed so that the
proposed buildings don't impact the neighborhood . If we can get to a consensus on that then the site plan won't be an
issue .

Try very hard to kill the narrative that the Council Office proposed a "plan." That's the source of all of this confusion (and
Archer has had a lot to do with causing it).
We put a framework in place for getting to a plan that included structural as well as operational changes. We've seen those
structural changes, but until we also see the operational changes there is no plan for us to support.
If Archer is out there suggesting we are supportive of a plan, then our message needs to be closer to opposition in order to
counteract that narrative.

Here's a draft response . I want to make sure we are firm but that we don't seem like we are opening up the door to everything
again . If there is a chance that the BHA and BCC (each separately of course) can focus on operational constraints instead of
fixating on the ooti:irint we might actually be able to get to an agreement.
i Nancy,
J'hanks for the chance to clarify this. I haven't actually given Archer a "plan ." I have given them a framework. I've given them a
list of conditions that they need to meet in order to get my support for their project.
I have told Archer that I am not going to support a project unless Archer can satisfy all of the conditions I outlined, including
addressing the traffic impacts from the project. If they can meet that admittedly high bar, I would be okay with the physical
footprint (as it has been modified}.
As for the construction period, I have asked Archer to reduce the timeframe during which construction activities would happen.

Rod / Thelma,
We are formulating a list of proposed conditions to the CUP that relate to Archer traffic during peak hours . The list below is a
starting point to be discussed at a joint meeting of the BCC's Land Use Committee and Transportation Committee. As noted
below, this is a list of conditions only relating to peak PM traffic resulting from sporting events and special events , and does not
deal with events outside of peak, operations, the physical facilities, or anything else. These issues will be dealt with separately,
but we need to deal with the PM peak traffic now as a matter of priority. It does not imply that the rest of the issues have been
approved. (We are aware of separate negotiations between the neighbors, CD 11 and Archer which will likely result in a
reduction in the number of off-peak events.) Ultimately the LUC and TC will make a recommendation to the full board of the
BCC when it comes time to vote on the matter.
I am sending this to you in a spirt of openness and cooperation. I hope we can work together on this extremely important
community issue. Please let me know if you have any questions.
Thank you.

Hello Norm,
a thousand thanks for last night, Mike is just so wonderiul and so adorable, we all could see how much people love him ,
it's so great !!
Norm
l have a small question , and so sorry to invade already your mai l box.
On February 3rd, we are going to have our BCC meeting , and it promises to be a rather heated one with much
discus sion about Archer .
Our Transportation Committee @ BCC has written a resolution which I think is pretty wise, but Eric Edmunds will put up
the question of Alternative 2 a d there will be a vote . We , Kathleen and I, have sent a support for Alternative , ore
in a mean to gather
pressure on Archer than as a definitive choice for the future .
Because Mike last night talked so wisely about the efforts of Archer on using buses for their students , and how we
should work towards
greater communal efforts of all schools around this area , I would love , when I have to vote on February 3rd , for MCA , to
do so
in a way that supports Mike 's efforts and yours.
I am cc-ing Kathleen on this, as she is still our president for a few more days , and she is, anyway going nowhere else ,
as I and my board need all her
wisdom and adv ice !!
No problem, if you feel you can 't help me on this, I am also tak ing much advice from my beloved Nancy Freedman and

February 3 at BCC is developing as a showdown meeting between Eric Edmunds (per Eric's remarks to me he has been
organizing for a political confrontation), who has taken the most harsh stand against Archer, a modified Alternative 2 with all
details not yet disclosed, a d what I'll characterize as the those seeking to find a fair middle ground, led by BCC Chair Larry
Watts.
Although MCA has written a letter supporting Alternative 2, Flo, the incoming MCA President, is asserting her leadership by
demonstrating that she wants MCA to be collaborative and problem solving.

I like the idea of a PowerPoint - it puts tour
osition , literally , in
big, bold language that can't be misinterpreted (and can be P-Ostedand

shared afterwards ).
If we go with a PowerPoint, it should be for the entire presentation

and not just the archer section in order to avoid framing the meeting
as blu focused on archer. That means we will need images for
Bundy/Mayfield and other topics .
Can we meet this week to agree on a rough outline so I can get started

- We are all on the same page about the schedule. You appreciate them agreeing to moving the hearing back
to April 23, and you know that they are concerned about how that will affect the overall hearing schedule. We
are all working towards the same goal of getting this through the hearing process before Council recess for the
summer so that we are not starting another school year with this still pending. (The point here is not to
commit to a particular outcome , just to alleviate their concerns that by moving the hearing back to April that
they end up pushed into another school year before this is resolved.)
- You are asking them to stay the course on negotiating with the neighbors. We still think there is room for
compromise--the last meeting seemed productive--and we want to keep working on an agreement with
Thelma. We're going to want to speed up that process, but we want to keep on that course at this point and
not change st rategy now.
If you can call Ron to tell him those two things, it would be very helpful for me to keep everyone heading
down the same path.

The Archer EIR is required to have analyzed cumulative impacts from nearby projects . I am not sure whether
those projects are specif ically included in the EIR--because that would depend on whether they were at the
proper stage whe n the Arche r EIR was being prepared (i.e., had an application been filed, were they app roved
but not yet built, were they otherwi se pend fng). The person who wou ld best be able to answer this ques tion

My husband and I have seen Mar Vista grow and change. We are not wealthy people , but we have worked hard over the years to

help fund our retirement. Many older Angelenos, like us, have always thought of our house as part of our retirement plan if the
need to sell and downsize becomes prudent.
It seems that the upcoming ICO's are very restrictive to new construction . Our house was built in 1953 and is a modest 1700
square foot tract home . It is not large, although it has been comfortable for the two of us. We have recently sold our home to a
builder who wishes to put a newer and bigger house on the lot. Unfortunately, our home may fall out of escrow because of the
ICO.
The fact is that buyers today want larger homes ; whether it is to accommodate grow ing families, to care for elderly parents, to
have room for a home office , or for a myriad of other reasons . I don't advocate building the Mediterranean Stucco Boxes that
proliferated during the late 20th and early 21st century, we have one next door to us. Nor am I particularly pleased with the
aesthetics of most of the current Modern Boxes that are being built today. However , I feel that the good intentions of the antimansionization ordinance , especially in Mar Vista and East Venice where no exceptions will be made to allow a large home, will

H i Tricia :
This message is long overdue , but I found myself working on things other than Archer , including my businesses and
family:) .
With the vote by the BCC and the unity of the Brentwood neighborhood I wanted to arrange a status meeting
between BCC , BHA , RNA and CD11 . I know CD11 was not in support of our decision to unify behind Alt 2, and I
think it best we re-establish how to most productively proceed . Mike's comments at our Annual Meeting reflected
what I think is a misinterpretation of the current CUP , and I think it does the process a disservice to disseminate that
philosophy . Possibly in the same wa'i you feel support of Alt 2 was counterproductive .
I know we all agree we must work together for the best outcome and the BHA stands ready in hopes Archer will be
willing to scale down their project to a reasonable size that the community can tolerate .
best ,

Dear Mike:
I have been asked formally by the BHA Board of Directors to correspond with you
regarding the status of the Archer discussions. As you know , community groups total ing
10,000+ residents voted to support Alternative 2, until such time as there was a real effort
at a comprom ise plan. At your suggestion , the BHA agreed to temporarily stand aside and
allow you to facilitate discussions between Archer and the proximate neighbors, in hopes
an agreement could be reached.
Mike, to be quite frank, we remain very concerned. All along, we have said that in three
years of discussions , Arche r did not want to compromise , did not want to reconc ile
commun ity concerns and in the end, would choose to build a plan suitable for Archer and
Archer alone. You have made a commitment to protect the interests of our community,
and tasked Tricia with forging an agreement that worked for both Archer and the
neighbors . However, there remains no concrete evidence that Archer wi ll ultimately
agree to a plan that accommodates Brentwood .
Recognizing the promises you have made to the community, we support your near term
efforts. However, should our ongoing concerns materia lize and Archer refuses to agree to
a more moderate plan, we expect that you will uphold your commitment to Brentwood and
its residents and stop Archer until such time as it reasonab ly capitu lates. There is a long
history of CD 11 doing the right thing and your reputation indicates above all you will not
let us down on this one . We believe we have the commitment not only of our
homeowners , but from other HOAs and community groups throughout the westside , who
have indicated they ultimate ly will stand with us.
Due to its unique location , and with ingress and egress flowing directly into our central
choke point, we believe the Archer development is a cred ible threat to an alr
67
0~
overtaxed and vital community condu it. We cannot force the commun ity to bear the
perpetual and irreversible impacts of this project.
Please let me know the status of the current discussions and perhaps our board can meet
with you to reaffirm your support.
Mike, this is a time of critical community need and we are absolutely counting upon your
leadership and protection .
Respecfully ,
Rod Liber

I'm inclined to respond to Ray and just say that in my opinion it's better to keep the hearing date as is.
Besides , Archer has to agree to any further continuance, and I don 't think that they will do that because the y
would very much like to have this done before the fall school year begins just because it's been such a dra n
out proce ss and I don't think anyone wants this spilling over into another school '[ea .

Why is that every time I see someone from next door I feel as if I was punched in the stomach. I can't take it anymore . I feel
like I am fighting goliath all on my own while trying to fend off the gnats. It's too much and I can't take it anymore .
I think when this is over (well, it won't ever be over for me because after the temporary disruption I get the permanent
disruption) I am going to slink away. Beth said they are thinking of bringing all the girls again to the hearing . If they do, I don't
know what I will do. I am tired of crying and worrying and feeling as if my life has been hijacked and being attacked because I
want what all of the Archer families have--peace and guiet a nigh and on the weekends .
I'm sorry. I think they've finally broken me. I don't think I'll be the same and I don't think I can have drinks with anyone from that

To : Tricia Keane <[email protected]>
Tricia:
Ray and Thelma have been keeping me posted on the progress of your talks . During the years of discussions , even those
most immersed in the talks (me Thelma, Ray) had to be constantly reminded we were never "taking anything away" from
Archer .
I was pretty sure coming out of that meeting two weeks ago that our goal was to craft a compromise Archer COULD accept,
not one they absolutely WOULD accept. More specifically , we were to back up to the most "lean" project that technically
satisfied Mike's previous statements and commitments , thereb giving the community the best chance at the least impacts .
Since I like to look at the "big picture" and I mentioned several times in the meeting even the simplest community supported
proposal is a win for the school , I ask you to look at the attached chart and see the current talks give them easily more than
50% of their ask and thus represents an incredibly generous compromise .
Thank you for all your exhaustive and tenacious work .
Respectfully,
Rod

Haha! Yes , but I have no friends now because my life has been taken over by the monster that shall not be named!!! I got 8
hours last night so I'm back to just slightly annoying.
So one of my neighbors asked me if Archer was behind this new school "just 15 miles from the 405/Sunset intersection ,"
Beacon School for Boys. Sure enough , the founders are moms at Arche r. Have you heard of it? It will be in CD-11. Granted
15 miles could be anywhere , but is it possible Archer could become affiliated with them so they could use Archer's facilities?
Have you seen the description of the use of site for Archer?
Last time we worke d on a CUP, Archer bought two parcels they didn't tell us about. I would not be surprised if the same thing
happens with an affiliate school. I am sure Jeff will reach out to you too since I just emailed him. But based on l)ast
experience I would not put it past them .

I think simultaneous construction and school operation, saturday construction, etc. ends up being all fine if the perf arts ctr
space goes away.
I still think in order for Archer to say yes to the perf arts ctr, there has to be something else in it for them that isn't just getting
the ~ommunity to not challenge even more parts of the project.
The community's position is that the only way they were going to be willing to live with the term sheet the way it is, is if the perf
arts ctr space went away. It was part of a larger package deal. But if the perf arts ctr stays, then they want more operational
restrictions. Jeff has said that. Archer thought your 3-year mandate overrode the need for there to be an overall deal.
Archers position is that they want the term sheet the way it is AND the perf arts ctr space. And the only way to get them to take
more restrictions on either the perf space or operations is to give them a break on something else.
If you see Thelma tonight , please please please be gentle. She is about ready to call it quits . hand Jeffs info over to a
neighbor of hers who is much more interested in fighting, and we will lose probably the most reasonable voice on the
opposition's side. She is feeling incredibly beat up over all of this, and feels like she is getting demonized for representing what
a larger group of ppl want. I think it could be helpful for you to tell her that it's not a done deal yet, that we do want to push
Archer to take something that is better for the community, that we do want RNA and BHA on board, but that we are also trying
to be realistic in how far we can push (on either side) before this totally falls apart. Stress how much you have been doing to
MTC155
make sure that the neighbors are protected , and how much you appreciate what she has been doing to get to a yes. We don't
want Thelma to walk away from this.

It seems like taking the house on

barrington has been the plan all along .
Archer is getting their way.
You would have had to know this all the time .

Subject: can you talk now?
I am trying to rally the community behind our term sheet. But once again, Larry is communicating ith Archer and doing
everything he can to sabotage this.
This is the email I received from Lauren Cole.
Why is Larry saying that Arche
who pulled out of the talks?
oni
a d Jeff agreed to a term sheet but RNA never respon@sl so basically say_ing ii is RNA not Arch er
So instead of trying to focus on the facts of the term sheet , Larry is letting Archer say our term sheet is unacceptable and that we walked
away . That is not the case.
Please , at what point Is Larry stopped? He sends the emai l with his notes from the LUC meeting where Jeff spoke about our term sheet to
Archer (which, oops , went to Chris tina) . He refuses to let me speak Tuesday until 9:10pm when everyone has left. He writes an
unauthorized email to the City saying his expert's report on the DEIR is not what he intended because they have no problem with increased
events . He tells Robert Rene that he has a direct line to Archer and that he talks with Cindy every week . Can you please make this stop?
This is what I cannot take .
If you think we walked away_, please let me know . We were never shown the term sheet because Steve said wait , the board is wa iting to
decide about what to do .

Just fyi , Jeff told me that there is going t o be an flye r in the paper, probably this weekend or early next week,
telling everyone to go to the upcoming hearing . it isn't going to mention our office, and it isn't going to
mention th ings that they know have been changed about the project, but it is going to mention things that are
sti ll issues of concern for the community. I know that we will get a lot of ema ils/calls in response. I wanted to
give you a heads up. It is what it is, but I wanted to mention to you before I told MB.
I also suspect that Archer is going to kick off its own ad and community outreach campaig n at the same time
the staff re12ort comes out . So we are going t o be hea g from a LOT of people next week.

Okay .
Also, when you talk to him, let him know that I've gotten emails from Rod, Ray, and Thelma, and I want to
make sure that we're not all talk ing past each other. I haven't sent the response to Rod yet be I can't now tell
who I really should be talking to on their side. I sent Jeff and email to that effect, but if you get a chance to
mention it, that would be great. Just ask him who I should communicate with on their side so this thing gets

RE : ENV-2011 -2689-EIR
I Suppo 11 Archer ' s Campus Plan
Dear Mr. Villan i:
I write as a resident of Brentwood , and as Archer's Head Librarian . In August I returne d to
California (after spending 13 years in N ew York) specifica lly to work at Archer, whose
reputation as an innovative program dedicated to prov iding girls with the very highest quality
educatio n is known throughou t the coun try.
The written word cannot possib ly do this school , and the commun ity it fosters, justice. It is
not an exaggerat ion that I marve l eve1y single day at the dedication of Archer's faculty , the
infom 1ed effo11s of the administra tion, and, most importan tly, the inquisi tive, creative and
ambitious nature of Archer students. I have worked as an educator in a number of settings;
none rivals Archer's effectiveness in developing its studen ts into wel1-roW1ded, passionate ,
confident, socially aware and adept individuals .
I think that it is incredibly important that the City recognize the value of developing female
leaders, and that the City publicly demonstrate a commitment to educating girls throug h
supporting the development plans of a phenomenally run institution eager to strengthen its
acade mic and athle tic programs . It is more important than ever tha t girls have access to the
top tier technology, equipment and facilities required to foster top tier leadership and
innovation.
I urge you to prior itize the developm ent of this deserving community of innovators .
Warmly,

He was not supposed to send the support letter about the term sheet to the City. He was supposed to send it
to RNA for them to distribute to us. The City doesn't care about the term sheet (be that is the basis for the
private covenant). So he retracted the letter because it doesn't belong in the actual record for the project.
He misunderstood who he was supposed to send the letter to.
We have it, and we have one from Belair Skycrest.
they should only be sent to us.
I suspect we will see a few others today as well.

Slight change, Steve and Beth need the meeting at 2 pm. I told them it was fine and that we wanted to
accommodate th eir schedules as much as possible.
I think we can get this conversation done in 30 min. The message that real ly needs to be delivered is that yo u
want a deal, that you see a path to a deal on the table, and that you rea lly want them to take the offer
seriously--but there are things that you wou ld support them making a counter proposal on (1) the saturday
construct ion hou rs and (2) the t rip caps are the two key things that you see room for some additional
reasonable) compromise.

Dear City Planning Commissioners :

Please DO NOT approve the Archer School proposed expansion plans .
The project size and operations are not compatible with the surrounding neighborhood, and adversely impact the public health,
welfare and safety.
The major issues and concerns of the community are legitimate and supported not only by documented assessments , but by
common sense.
1. The three-year construction period provides a target, but will likely be exceeded without enforceable and substantia l
pena lties.
2. A 60% increase in structures and a new 85,000 square foot parking garage would require mass ive excavation and result in
an out-of-scale development for a residential street.
3. A 60% increase in special events would bring thousands of additional visitors and ignores the limitations of the site.
4. A 122% increase in on-site parking brings more cars everyday exactly to a place that can tolerate no more cars .
5. A 15% increase in enrollment, as well as more faculty and staff needed to service additional students and facilities, ignores
the promises of a carefully crafted conditional use perm it.
6. A 78% increase in vehicle traffic to the campus for sports activities and specia l events WILL contribute to a further
deterioration in traffic flow .
Please recognize the specific challenges thousands of commuters face on Sunset Blvd ., Please respect and protect the rights
of homeowners .

As a member of the Brentwood community for over 30 years, I fully support the latest plan that has been put forth by the Archer
School for Girls . Councilman Bonin has done an excellent job of brokering a compromise plan that allows the school to have
modern facilities comparable to other schoo ls, with a minimum impact to the neighborhood.
As a parent with two daughters who attend the school, I can say from first hand experience what a wonderful school Archer is
and what a valuable asset it is to the community. As the school has now agreed to everything asked for by Councilman Bonin, I
hope you will approve this project and enable the young women of Archer to have the campus they deserve .

I don't know if there is data about how the other users break down but the percentage of traffic that archer comprises of
what flows through the sunset Barrington intersection was studied in the traffic report and the eir. So we have the numbers
in those reports.
At the 6-7pm hour with trips capped at 126, archers traffic on sunset would be a tiny percentage of the cars that travel that
part of sunset. I can get numbers when I can look at the eir.
We can extrapolate to some extent what Brentwood schools traffic percentage weighs be based on their enrollment and
busing percentages .

The only thing not changed , but highlighted is the date when compliance reports would be due (transportation and

My concern is which CUP governs during construction --current or proposed? Need to make sure .
1) An Academic Year where the School holds more than 47 Special Events , or 2) prior to the issuance of the first
Certificate of Occupancy

Hi Tricia,
Attached is the BHA rebuttal letter to the Staff Report sent to the City Planning Commission .
The end of the two-page letter says
6e5b7bc83a951261 _0.1.1
Would the Council Office join in a request to hold the Hearing on Thurs (can't be avoided) but defer a Decision by the CPC
for 60 days?
The purpose would be to give all parties time to arrive at a compromise Covenant.
At a future meeting of the CPC, assuming no compromise , they could reconvene and without further testimony , render their
Decision .
We did that with Bundy Village , and we almost had a compromise . Back then , one of the strong Commissioners told Bundy
Village they should agree to the continuance, and Dale Goldsmith got the message and agreed .
Of course , it would help if Archer is also asking to defer any Decision. But if Archer opponents and CD 11 are both asking ,
it has a good chance .
What do you think?

Is that the way it played out, or d id the playbook change?

Dear Mike: I attended the Archer hearing today and want to express appreciation for the public 12ositionyou have
taken to attempt to reduce negative traffic impacts of this project on the neighboring communities -- in particular the
statement related by Tricia that traffic is the "primary lens" through which you view the Archer project and will view all
future school projects in this area.
It is unfortunate that not all of the modifications you requested were accepted , but I am hopeful that one of our
significant concerns -- possible overlap of the Archer construction with the CA Incline project -- can be avoided.

The CPC unanimously approved the project today with some, but not all, of the revisions that we asked for. I noted
below which ones were included and which ones were not. The CPC asked for Archer's reaction to these
conditions. Any tlrnt A.1:chersaid yes to were included. Any that A.Jcherobjected to or where there needed to be
additional clarification, CPC left out. That way the item could move fo1ward today without the need to see revised
condition language or have fin1her discussion. CPC and Archer both said, we know this isn't the last time there will
be a hearing on this. I responded that obviously we would prefer them to include eve1ything, but we too suspect it
wouldn't be our last opp011unity to get the conditions incorporat ed.
David ran an excellent hearing. Each side had 30 minutes to present their supp011or opposition . Both sides were
well organized, articulate, and respe ctful. The opponents, naturally, were not happy with the decision, but they did
express appreciation for our effo11s. The Archer side was ecstatic. Elizabeth Ron and several others wanted me to
ass on their thanks to you and said that des itc how hard it has been and how much you have demanded the do
a reciate you and all your efforts to reach a compromise . I will need to debrief with you on next steps, because this
will be appealed and there are still outstanding issues to addres s--particularly since the Commission didn't include
everything we asked for. Obviously , 1 can provide whatever other detail you want.

Steve/Ron-
i spoke to South Brentwood Residents Assn last night, and when Archer came up, I explained how the school created only 2%
of the traffic at SunseUBarrington , and had the best traffic mitigation program on the corridor . I explained that under my
conditions the school would reduce its traffic impacts, and would create the Archer Standard that other schools and institutions
on the corridor should meet. I explainedthat when any institutioncomes before the City for a discretionaryapproval, they are going to
need to meet the same standards. And I told them that I expectedto have their and the general public's supportwhen I urge and cajole he
institutionsthat are not seeking City approvalsfor anythingto also meet the Archer Standard.
Archer deserves credit for what it is doing and is going to be doing . I'd encourage Archer to own that, and say something like
this regarding the traffic stuff:
As a school, we strive for academic excellence. And as a neighbor, we try for excellence as well. That is why we have
always had an exceptional traffic management program, and it is why we are proud to meet Councilman Bonin's call
for us to model the best traffic management plan of any school in the area, and we look forward to supporting his call
for the other schools and institutions and on Sunset Boulevard to meet the Archer Standard.

After valid arguments fell on the deaf ears of the Planning Commission , your vigilance is the only thing that can save us against
Archer 's relentless pursuit of their plan.
The SHA and other community groups may have to ramp up the rhetoric if Archer ref uses to create a path to a covenant.
Without one, it's all just window dressing .

You can hear them out, but I am done making any asks of Archer , other than those we made at CPC or those small clean-up
things we need to do at council to make sure arc her complies with my terms .
Larry Watts tells me he thinks Archer has little interest in a covenant with BHA at this point , and is more interested in one with
Thelma .
Any idea when this comes to PLUM and counc il?

Thanks for taking the time to meet with me. I really do hope we can get this done by summer! :)
The document I gave you basically highlights changes to the conditions that I want, you asked for and what Beverly mentioned
in her letter. It's an easier way than going through the entire CUP and I tried to make it easy to follow . I will bring it again
Wednesday and Y..Ocan act like you never saw it.:)
And of course, I have a revised , revised VCUP (Jeff rolled his eyes on that one!) which reflects your changes outlined in Mike's
letter , Elva's technical changes, and changes I have subsequently made from the first one you saw. I will send you that CUP
after Wednesday's meeting in case Ray or Wendy have some changes . (I promise I am just trying to make things easier!!)
I think for Wednesday we can follow Chad's advice and focus on the term sheet and Mike's letter and see what remains that
matters to Ray and us (e.g. construction) . What will be interesting is to see what Ray wants in a covenant that isn't necessarily
in the term sheet, especially since he wanted the term sheet to be more specific and we said we would work out those details
later. All I know is I want to be the one "working" out those details! ha
Maybe you and I can talk after Wednesday's meeting to strategize about future meetings based on our conversation
Wednesday . (Since Archer has taken over your work life, why change now at the end!! haha) And if you can, I would love to
hear what Ray's "dea was regarding a covenant.

Got your letter that

I proves an entire community west of the 405 was thrown under the bus for a private school
catering to a few. The same thing will happen when the C ity Council votes - The aP-proval indicates clea I that the
taxpaying residents do NOT count. Archer didn 't scale this down , nor will the city council vote this down. You may
suggest it be scaled down , but without heavy lifting from you r office and the Mayor 's office , t at Ci council who
does not have to live in this horrendous congestion , has noth ing to ga in by voting against its passage . Silly us
neighbors . we thought that our voices were going to count but since the Planning Commission only had photos that
showed no traffic at all , it's pretty obvious it was a biased decis ion .
Imag ine others loo king in from outs ide of this corne r of the wor ld , shak ing their head that any respons ible off ice
wo uld ap prove such a crazy overs ized develo pment in the most congeste d area in Los Angele s.
You lost all of us wh o trusted you to protec t our qu ality of life, fro m more traffi c - traffic that is unb ea rable - traffic
that literally affects how we cond uct our lives . But 11 home owne r associatio ns made that very clear . And you
knew that. You assu red us nothing was settled and you were go ing to go the ext ra mile to have those concess ions
met. Not only were they not met, the y increased everything .
Unques tionab ly, the re's something very w rong a picture that looks like this: 100% A rche r stude nts , Archer Board
Membe rs, A rcher Donors accommoda ted : 82% of the students don 't live in this area ; 11 home ow ner groups
represen ting 36,000 peop le and business igno red.
Lesson learned.
030833
I am not enti rely sure how to explain in more detail than this letter that there were a bunch of reductions,
that they were made because the community asked fo r them, and that the re will be even more reduct io ns
and requ irements placed on the project o n apP,eal.

First , I don't recommend yo u respond in writing . It will go straight up on her HOA blog .
You should call her , and attempt to explain that we get our chance to finish add ing in the remaining concessions at

certainly the perception in the community

Incidentally , I haven't ready the Draft CUP , but what we've always said is that on our end we were going to ask for Mike's
Letter + Term Sheet # 1. The rest would need to be negotiated as part of a covenant. Right?
As far as I know, that is still MB's position.

In my opinion the CM has not been clear enough that he won't approve the project without either a covenant or more
restrictive requirements. Archer believes he will approve no matter what. It puts all the power in their hands.

Jeff , by saying that he won't approve a project without a covena nt the CM woul d essentially be abdicating his responsibili ty and
letting others write the policy on Archer. That might make it easier for us, but it's not the right thing to do .
Short of that, the CM has been extremely clear with both sides abou t his position: Mike's Lette r + Term Sheet 1. Everyth ing
else needs to happe n in a covena nt, and we strongl y urge both sides to find the w ill and motiva tion to make it happen.
He can't force a covenant. He can show Intense dis pleasure that there Is not one. and he has. but at the end of the day it's the
two sides that need to sign on the dotted line.

Hi Tricia:
I hope your summer is beginning well.

It's been a while since we spoke , and I wanted to touch base on Archer .
When we last met in person, we discussed three key issues , two of which have been substantiated in writing by
the councilman. We still believe the third element , the signing of a covenant , is equally as important and is the
only thing that will cement the intended project and operations and prevent future expansions.
The BHA has engaged legal counsel to help us fine tune a covenant agreement we have drafted with RNA (Thelma)
and we are prepared to present this imminently. Conversely , we will not consider any document prepared by
Archer , should they happen to be going down that road. We are not going to get Into yet another situation where
we are perceived as chipping away at their vision.

No. We have never said that his support was contingent on a covenant. We've said it is his strong preference for a
covenant, and he has conveyed that to both sides, but that can only be negotiated by the two sides .

Fellow Council staff and City Hall colleagues:

As the Council Recess approaches us, it is incumbent upon all of us to work diligently with our Committee Clerks to ensure that
all items that need to be scheduled and acted upon by July 1st are processed appropriately .
It is the Council President office's preference to schedule the bulk of items before recess between the dates of June 22nd-30th.
We will not be waiving any items to be scheduled for July 1st unless they are necessary for financial or budget reasons and
cannot wait until July 28th. All other items must be in process by Thursday , June 25th, including time-limited files.
Please feel free to contact myself or Justin if you have any questions.

issue is basically done. After all most ppl thought it was finished after CPC.
It would be better to have the hearings closer together, but I'd rather have a larger gap btw PLUM and council than more
time before we get to PLUM. All the negotiations are happening now knowing that there is not very much time left so ppl

Apparently CM Huizar wasn't originally planning on havina PLUM on 6/30, but then the clerk coordinated with
his office about scheduling Archer for that day, but it's not clear if that was cleared all the way up to the CM.
So there's a chance they want to cancel that day --but I really don't think we want to push this back till after
recess .
There has been a LOT of progress on negotiations in the last few days, and we need to keep that momentum

Hey Paul,
We're hearing that your boss may cancel PLUM on June 30. We have a critical item on the agenda that day (Archer School for
Girls project appeal), and we are very concerned that waiting until after Council recess to consider the item could derail some
extremely sensitive negotiations we are currently facilitating between the neighbors, the community, and the school. Mike is
asking if you could please keep the June 30 meeting on the schedule?

Because of notice requ irements on the appeal, the 30th was the earliest we could have it heard. The notice has gone out .
So now if it is delayed, we'll need to redo the notice, and it adds a ton of time to the process and throws off the negotiations.
We are very close to getting the school to compromise and sign a covenant with the neighbors/community, which would make
this process way easier to get through , and the 30th is acting as a deadline to make that agreement happen. Without the 30th
looming , ii lifts the sense of urgency , which could allow all kinds of new issues to pop up in the negotiations .. and if that
happens we have no idea where this could end up.

Hi, M ike
I thought I should let you know that I sent this text out today under the UMCA letterhead ,
signed by me, to most of the residents of Upper Mandeville Canyon . I think it expresses
the dominant attitude of the neighborhood about what will happen to Sunset traffic , which
on many occasions is already backing up from Barrington to Mandeville (going
eastbound) . It took me four hours to get across town to Echo Park last week. Most of us
who don't have to don't go in town or downtown for morning or evening activities . I do
think there will be an uprising among commuters when Archer , Mt. St. Mary's and Ric
Caruso's project all get rolling .
I know you are trying hard and we really appreciate your work. But it's getting impossible
over here . Archer should spend their money on the best teachers in the world , not
crippling our neighborhood

Victor from Manatt , Phel~s and Phillips called about Archer . I know him well, so I gave him a little background . He is
working on the Covenant for BHA. He is getting worried because the hearing is next week , and he hasn't received a
response yet to their draft . Can you give him a call when you get a chance and touch base?
His number is 310-312-4305 .

Dear Tricia ,
The language of the condition regarding the BMO as applied to the Performing Arts Center needs to be very
precise in order for it to have the meaning that Mike intends. After consulting with counsel, here is the language
we think is necessary to give meaning to the condition :
iThe Performing Arts Center shall be developed on the Chaparal Parcel in accordance with the residential development standards,
including heights limits, setbacks, and the maximum floor area limits that would apply to a residential use under the City's Baseline
Mansionization Ordinance (Ordinance No.179,883), as that ordinance 's provisions apply to the lot area, shape, and boundaries of
the Chaparal Parcel as they existed on the date of the Planning Commission Approval.
Happy to discuss or Jeff can fill you in further.

Here's the chart of the requirements from our letter to CPC, the things agreed to by Archer in the origina l term sheet,
and how they are going to be responded to for PLUM.
Archer wants to subm it its letter before the end of t he day tomorrow, so if we can discuss tomorrow morning, that would be

Hi Cha d and Tricia,
Attached is our letter to PLUM , with Exhi bits A, B, and C.
We tried to simplif y and condense the BHA request as follows:
"If PLUM and City Council choose not to overturn the CPC Determination, the following revisions
should be made :
1. Adopt all the requirements in the letter, dated April 22, 2015, from Councilmember Mike Bonin
to the City Planning Commission .
2. Adopt the "Permitted Hours of Operation" set forth on Exhibit A hereto.
3. Adopt the "Restrictions on Special Events" set forth on Exhibit B hereto.
4 . Adopt "Trip Restrictions for Interscholastic Athletic Competitions and Special Events" set forth
on Exhibit C hereto."
Of course , there are several more items , as well as monitori ng and enforcement provisions , that are included in the draft Covenant we gave
to Arc her on June 15.
Archer was finally ready for a meeting on June 25, and the re is another meeting scheduled for Jun e 28. I believe tha t reso lution of all
issue s, and approva l by the Boards of the parties , by June 30 is ve1y unlikely.
I still think the best course of action for all concerned would be a continuance of the matter by PLUM until the end of July/beginning ofi
August. It seems this could easily be obtained if Archer, BHA , and Mike were all aski ng for this.
Thanks
Ray

As you probably heard , we were in meetings over the weekend, and all day today, in an effort to hammer out a deal with
Archer . The BRA acquiesced on almost every clause, reducing the intensity of Ifie draft covenant, and result ing in more lenient
restrictions and penalties. We are hopeful this will be enough to get a signed agreement. If this still does not satisfy the Archer
board, we hope the council office will stand firm with the BHA and Neighbors in an effort to retain some protections for the
community .
Thank you for your on oing support and dedication to this exhausting process .
Respectfully,
Raymond Klein and Rod Liber

Signed covenant attached. Distribute as necessary. I don't have everyone's email address.
Great work e e one!
they are exceedingly difficult. This agreement actually manages to reduce Sunset Blvd. traffic to levels lower
than what exist today , and at the same time it allows this already great educational institution for young
women to become even greater. This is huge.
And I want to ask everyone one of you to give Tricia a big CD-11 hug when you see her next . She has
worked day in and day out , engaging in countless incredibly difficult discussions, breaking down some of the
most complex issues of development, bringing along community stakeholders with many different and
passionate opinions, and she has done it all like a ro. She made all of us, and our boss , look like first-rate
public servants.

I cannot tell you have amazed and grateful I am by this result. Along with the minimum wage and getting the Metro

Tricia is a genuine superhero . She steered and conducted negotiations liked an expert diplomat, out-lawyered some of the
smartest lawyers in town, juggled incredibly challenging personalities (including my own), and managed to do so at all times
with her trademark quirky humor. I could not be happier about, prouder of, or more thankful to her.
Kudosas well to Chad,withoutwhomwe wouldnot haveclosedthe deal. He spent countlesshourson the phoneand in
meetings with BHA and neighbors, and essentially locked everyone in a room to hammer out the final agreement - which,
in a highly dramatic twist -- did not actually happen until PLUM was in sessio and public testimony on this issue was
already unden@Y.
Both Tricia and Chad displayed a patience I could never muster. I woke up yesterday not expecting there would be a
compromise, and even when council ended, I was not confident it would happen. But Tricia and Chad brought it home.

We will need to know that archer has reached out, and Sharon will need to know some details, and whether or not
she can provide a copy of the covenant. We also need to give her an answer to the inevitable question-Brentwood
community Council was involved in negotiations up until recently, so I want we involved in the final negotiations over

Those two were withdrawn at the hearing, yes, although the City Attorney noted that it was too late for them to be
formally withdrawn. The action that went forward was to deny the four other ones and deny the two withdrawn
ones in part so that they could place additional conditions on the project.

Planning is working through a number of things that need to get done before the project can be put on a
Counci l agenda . Among the things they are doing is making sure all the conditions that were requested at
PLUM are incorporated into the CUP, and we will need to make sure that we get anything else from the
covenant that we want in the CUP included (obviously, without making the type of changes that would trigger
any more hearings). In order to get that done and get some additional environmenta l review squared away
(Errata #5 needs to be posted to the web), we need to have this go to Council in August --probably the week
of Aug 10. We originally had 7/28 held for Archer, but it looks like we are going to need either 8/11, 8/12, or
8/14.
I wanted to give you a heads up before we talked to CD10 to get an August council date.

Agree.
Tricia- off all the things you mentioned that take time to do, I'm most worried about this additional environmental step. Can you
describe what that is, and what the legal requirements are in terms of timing and posting? Not sure I understand what's
triggering it.
In terms of adding conditions into the CUP, if it helps Planning to get it done quicker, are there conditions in the covenant that
don't need to be in the CUP? I mean, if it's in the covenant, then it will be enforced, right?
I'm just trying to think about how to streamline the work Planning needs to do.

The "Errata #5" is supplemental environmental information that updates the Final EIR to accurately reflect
the version of the project that was approved at PLUM. Per CEQA rules, it needs to be posted for 10 days
before the Council can act on the project. This means that at the earliest, this could go to Council on 7/31-because Planning could post the errata on Monday, and we'd have enough time to make 7/31.
There are two categories of changes to the CUP that we need to address:
1. The changes that were made at PLUM -- so the conditions from Archer's letter that we supported, the
additional conditions that we requested at the hearing, and the conditions that Thelma asked for at the
hearing . These need to be incorporated into the CUP that goes to Council because they are what PLUM
actually approved. We are all working on those now, and I am meeting with Planning on Monday to make
sure we're all on track.
2. Any additional things that are in the covenant that we want to include in the CUP - - we talked about
putting some of the provisions from the covenant into the CUP as well. We don't have to do this. But,
before we decide not to, I want to be clear on what conditions would only be in the covenant so we can
make sure we're okay with that. I met with Thelma and Beth already to talk about this categor and we
are going to talk again next week to make sure we're all on the same !)age.
After my meeting with Planning on Monday, I'll have a much better idea of whether there are any other
tim ing obstacles to getting this to Council the week that Council is back from recess. But I hear you re
timing and I'll do whatever I can to get it to Council as soon as possible.

Hi, Mike
I thought I should let you know that I sent this text out today under the UMCA letterhead, signed
by me, to most of the residents of Upper Mandeville Canyon. I think it expresses the dominant
attitude of the neighborhood about what will happen to Sunset traffic, which on many occasions
is already backing up from Barrington to Mandeville (going eastbound). It took me four hours
to get across town to Echo Park last week. Most ofus who don't have to don't go in town or
.downtown for morning or evening activities. I do think there will be an uprising among
commuters when Archer , Mt. St. Mary's and Ric Caruso's project all get rolling.
1 know you are trying hard and we really appreciate your work. But it's getting impossible over
here. Archer should spend their money on the best teachers in the world , not crippling our
neighborhood
Sincerely
John

We'll work on a response, and get an update on the status of the brown bag.
Just as an fyi, Archer is continuing to meet with the other appellants, which include people who are members
of the UMCA (though not the UMCA itself), to try to settle with those groups as well.

This is only going to get worse. They have a website, and are gearing up for a big campaign, and undoubtedly other homeowner groups that
have not signed the covenant will join on. It is essentia l that this be heard in Council the Tuesday or Wednesday immediately after recess
ends.
That is still the Qian, ight?

Mr. Molnar:
I'm writing to request a meeting with you and/or Counc ilmember Bonin at your earliest
convenience this week.
My wife Zofia and I are former leading members of "RNA" (the Residential Neighbors of
Archer), and I am a Co-Chair of the recently formed Sunset Coalition, which also now
represents RNA.
We understand that your office believed that Thelma Waxman represented the many
members of RNA (thus, essentially, Archer's nearest residential neighbors) in negotiating a
settlement with Archer on June 30, dur ing the PLUM hearing.
However, the reality is that none of the Archer neighbors (except the Whitesell family) were
kept informed of Thelma's final negotiations with Archer, or approved the terms of her
settlement.
In fact, the terms we have now seen (the covenant published on BHA's website) are
contrary to the key positions of RNA over the past three years: That the Archer Forward
project is far too large and far too impactful on the local neighbors and on Sunset traffic,
and thus that the RNA members opposed the Archer project and were (and remain) in
support of Alternative 2.
My wife Zofia and I were the largest financial supporters of RNA other than the Waxmans.
We attended many meetings of the RNA group, and supported Thelma at her request at
meetings of the BHA Board, the BCC Board, the CPC Examiner hearing, the CPC hearing and
the PLUM hear ing. As you may know, we are also among those who have filed formal
appeals of the CPC's decisions.
Since June 30, we have spoken with many neighbors who had been involved with the RNA
group, and not one of them agrees with the terms on which the Waxmans settled. Some
neighbors are indeed feeling alienated and angry especially in light of the notices that have
gone out from your office and the Waxmans announcing that "RNA" has agreed to the
condit ions in the covenant. The simple fact is that the Waxmans (and the Whitesells and
BHA) settled, and no one else.

Hey Jeff ,
Thanks very much for checking in. It would be great if Thelma told Mariella that Mike and his staff worked very hard to ensure
neighbor's concerns were addressed and that the deal we got is a big win for the comm unity. The more she can focus on how
bad the original wo osal was oing to be for the neighborhood and how tough {but fair Mike and staff we re, the better.

I met with Planning staff and Archer's lawyer this morning regarding getting this to Council as quickly as
possible . The first feasible day is August 4 . Given the volume of work that needs to be done to finalize the
CEQA documentation and getting everything posted 10 days before Council, this really is the earliest that it
can happen. In order to have made 7/31, they would have to post everything by tomorrow, and Planning
confirmed this morning that the CEQA documentation has not yet been finalized. Planning will finish and post
everything by this Friday, which would allow us to get to Council on August 4.
I'm happy to go into whatever detail you need on the log ist ics of getting this done (there are many). But I
believe that August 4 is really the first feasible day that we can do. This timing assumes that we aren't adding
anyth ing else to the CUP that wasn't clearly discussed at PLUM--so we aren't putting anything from the
covenant into the CUP unless it was specifically called out at PLUM.
I went through the CUP in detail with Archer and Planning this morning, and I don 't think we are missing
anything critical by taking this approach. Regardless, we need to take this approach if we want to make 8/4.
If we add anything that wasn't discussed at PLUM, we run the risk of triggering the need for a public hearing at
Council (and that has a 24-day notice requirement, not the 10-day requirement for the Errata).
Let me know if you're okay with 8/4, so that we can talk to CD10 today and get them to put Archer on that
agenda.

Hello All :
Thanks for letting our office know about the new CEQA document. This CEQA document was not before PLUM Committee
on 6/30 , so I can't include it in the PLUM report. If the CEQA document is submitted through Novus now , it will have to be
waived from PLUM . Logistically , this may cause confusion during the 8/4 Council mtg because PLUM acted on all eleme nts
of Archer except this recent CEQA document.
In order to have all elements of this project before Council on 8/4, see below for suggested actions that can be taken .
Please note that the 8/4 Council date cannot be secured until the PLUM report is submitted. I cannot submit the report until
a complete list of the updated Findings and Conditions of Approval is emailed to me . Planning , will you please email me
this information by Friday, 7/24 ? Thanks!
1CEQA document should be submitted at the 8/4 Council meeting; not through Novus - Planning should submit the
original CEQA doc and 35 copies to the CLA's desk in the Council Chambers at the 8/4 Council mtg.
2. Either the PLUM Chair or CM Bonin should introduce a written Motion to address the new CEQA doc.
Our
Council Clerks suggest that it is best to to work with CLA and CAiiy to develop the appropriate language to include in the
Motion . The Motion should be attached to the original CEQA doc with copies circulated at the 8/4 mtg .

Hi Tr icia,
Errata #5 is on our website. You can access it, by visiting the planning websi te, clicking on the "Environmental" tab on
the left hand side, followed by "F inal EIR" . the Archer EIR is the 8th project EIR down from the top . Cl icking on the
Archer EIR link will open a new window where you can find Errata #5.
I confirmed with our commission staff that the determinations and condit ions were uploaded to the City Cle rk today so
i hould hopefully be accessible on CFMS by tomorrow AM. Not quite sure what the Clerk's turn around is to actually
post it.
Let me know if you need help with anything else.

I am completely devastated by your "compromise" with the Archer School. If you are familiar with the neighborhood(lol) you
would realize that regardless of the power of the Archer supporters , this strip of Sunset Blvd and its homeowners are under
siege. It has taken me, on four diff occasions one solid hour to travel from La Casa and Bundy to Barrington and Sunset! ONE
MILE!!!
Would you consider leaving your house at 4 o'clock? Under the best of circumstances , during a normal week that time to
make it to Sunset is fifteen minutes, at best, during traffic hours and gridlock is ever increasing .
A rcher never should have been allowed to buy that property and should now look for another campus to use as an upper
school campus . Other schools have done so quite successfu lly. Their impact will be horrendous and will make the quality off
and on campus intolerable.
I already have several neighbors , both new and old to the area putting their houses on the market as they fear the dangers
inherent in the present as well as the future .

I know you worked with our wonderful Councilman Bill Rosendahl who recommended you and was
tireless in his caring for our district , and especially about our safety . That is why I am writing , trying to
understa_ndhow you could allow all of our lives not only to be highly inconvenienced by the Archer School
proposal, but hugely increases the risks to life due to traffic congestion being so much worse than it
already is on Sunset. Eastbound traffic sometimes backs UP.all the way to Mandeville - and it frequently
backs up to Kenter/Bundy.
Even if you choose to ignore the tremendous increase in the amount of time that all of us residents and
the people who work in the area will spend in traffic on Sunset , when a fire should arise , how much more
time will it take for emergency vehicles arrive? FYI, in the years that I have lived on Mandeville I have
been told to prepare for possible evacuation 2 times , and the 3rd time there was a fire 3 doors down from
me. How much damage might have been done if it had not quickly contained? How much more
dangerous is it now that we are in a serious drought? And what about ambulances for medical
emergencies?

Hi Chris,
Thanks for sharing. We are confident that between the conditions of approval that we requ ired for the project,
the mitigation measures, the project design features, and the terms of the covenant that was signed, thatlhe
transportation management plan will be the most stringent for any school around. The measures that we
requ ired were designed to ensure that on any given day A cher's operations would result in less Archerrelated traffic on Sunset than there is today .
I'm happy to discuss if you have any questions or would like any add itional info .

Just a follow up -- if possible (and if accurate) , ii might be good for Mike's message to include a reference to traffic impacts
during construction , ie, measures will be in place to mitigate traffic impacts during the limited construction period as much as
possible.
I believe the opponent who Is organizing and publicizing this is getting lots of people worked up to somehtr ~'7'3i~would be
possible to stop the project altogether (since that would be the onl way to avoid construction impacts) . IMHO (sP.eaking
individually only) I believe that to be completely unrealistic.

The f irst clip is just the teaser prev iew where they men ti on that Archer's expans ion plans are causing
controversy In the community .
The segment is actually fine. You did great, Barbara Bruser had good quotes too, and the only person from
the opponents' side was Eric Edmunds, and he was fine but not as articulate as you or Barbara. The clip of
you was talking about all th e conditions/measures that we required to manage traffic once the school Is up and
running. The clip of Barbara was talki ng about them doing everything they could to mitigate construction
03048 1
traffic. It was a pretty short piece and so obviously didn't get into any real substance -- other than your
comments about specific traffic measures.

This needs to be more granular. It needs to do three things -- 1) explain my prism (traffic) and how i made my decision
(basically, some form of my LAT quote), 2) and then explain HOW (because people do not believe it) -- need to list specifics on
how traffic is limited, 3( commit to do same for other institutions

You can say anything that he has already said abou t this issue, and yes you can say that he supports the current proposal because it will
reduce traffic on Sunset Boulevard . lf they ask "how can that be?" You can say that Archer agreed to mandatory busing of an unprecedented
76% of its students to the school, which is a higher percen tage than any other school in the We tside, and that will take cars off the road.
Archer also agreed to ve strict limits on the number of cars allowed to come to campus duri11gpeak hours, as well as restrictions on games
and events held on the cam s. You can a:t that Mike's # I riority for this pro~ was to reduce traffic on Sunset Bouleva
and these big
com romises from Arche r accom fish that.
If they ask about construction impact~ you can say that Mike insisted on a scaled down proj ect that resulted in reducing the const ruction
time from 6 years to 3, and that Archer committed to mitigating the construction impacts as well.

Hi Tricia:
I was going to send out to my board this blurb from Mike's new newsletter:
Archer Compromise - For years , the proposed expansion plans for the Archer School for Girls in
Brentwood was an incredibly controversial topic in Brentwood. After months of negotiations, however, Mike
helped broker a ground-breaking covenant between the school and neighbors , allowing the school to
modernize its fac ilities while ensuring that the local neighborhood is protected from traffic, noise, and other
community impacts. Importantly , the agreement will actually reduce the Archer-related traffic on Sunset
Boulevard .
Or is there going to be another/moredetailed message about this (ie, should I hold off sending anything until later today)? I'm
fine with sending jus this, by the way (whatever you think!).

Chris Spitz

Hi David,
From what I gathere d from th e LATimes story , the compr omise includes:
Cutting construction in half from six years to three years
Getting rid of a plan to build an aquatic center
Reducing the size of the performing arts cente r
Taking out field lights and an outdoor system
Is there a more complete list of what changes were made?
Also, obvious ly, as you can see below, some folks don't th ink this compromise will actu ally im prove traffic , and would
still lead to more congestion. What is Councilman Benin's reasoning behind t hinking tha t the compromise w ill cut
congestion, even making it better? Do the above concessions on an aquatic center, performing arts center and fie ld
lights mean tha t the school will have a more lim ited capacity t o hold public event s th at attract peqple, perhaps in the

In addition to that, we need to give her four or five key conditions, bulleted. Otherwise, she will not report what we want her to

"Thanks to groundbreaking mitigations and strict conditions , the project the Council approved today will reduce traffic on
Sunset," said Councilmember Mike Bonin. "This sets the high bar that I will require of other institutions along the corridor , and if
they put in place similar traffic plans, we will see a big improvement in daily commutes on Sunset."

"Lingering concerns? " - more like the significant, unaddressed concerns of a vast majority
of Brentwood residents . Also , it should be noted that the Times article did not use the
Sunset Coalition's full statemen t in which the organialion also registered its deep
disappointment with Councilman Bonin.

I would like to change "Residential Neighbors of Archer" to "neighbors of Archer " since the group never formed an
entity.

Hi Tricia,
I hope you're staying cool during this heatwave !
We are getting ready to schedule the kick off meeting for the Sunset Educational Corridor Association (SECA) required as
part of Archer Forward, and we suspec t it could be important to have your office involved - at least at the forma tive stages to ensure active participation . I'm thinking especially about St. Martin of Tours as there is no CUP imperative for them, so
as I get ready to send out the invitat ions I'd like to be able to say that you or perhaps even Mike himself?) will be attending
to conve_ythat this is significant and making this successful is a must.
Could you please let me know your thoughts about this? Attached isa draft Agenda , and I'd welcome any edi ts or
suggest ions from your office .
Also, assumi ng you all agree, wou ld you let me know if one of the follow ing dates (ove r the lunc h hour - lunch would be
served) does NOT wo rk? That way, when I send the invite I can include only dates we know work for you all .
11 :30 am to 1 :30 pm: Septe m ber 22 , 23, 24, 25, 28, 30

Thanksl I hope you have a nice weeke nd.
Best,
Rick

Rick
Thanks for reactilng out. I appreciate it.
I would like to ask Archer NOT to do this yet. I have a big "traffic on Sunset" event coming up in October, and ii is very
important that effort precede what Archer is looking to do here. I need to frame the issue properly, define what is possible for
traffic solutions, explain how future proposals from other institutions will be handled, and outline how I want the institutions to
work together for j oint traffic management. I think it is crucial that events happen in the right order.
I cc'd Steve Sugarman and a few folks from my team.
THANKS
Archer & SECA

Hi Tricia ,
I hope this email finds you well. I'm writing on behalf of David Grannis and would like to set up a time for Councilman Bonin
and David to meet. David and I are going to be working to develop, design , and deploy SECA for the independent schools in
the Sunset Corridor . We are working with Archer, have met with Brentwood, and are helping Rick Benfield to design the kickoff
meeting .
David really wants to understand Councilman Benin's views, perspective and ideas so that going into this effort, we can keep
these in mind in our design and deployment of mobility services . David is currently on vacation but returns on September 9th .
Could you send me a few dates/times that would work for Councilman Bonin?
Thank you and I look forward to hearing from you .
Kindly,
Tiffany
