 From 1978 to 1983, I was very active in the Ocean Park
Community Organization in the City of Santa Monica, starting public Recycling
Centers in Los Angeles County and I worked on creating Neighborhood parks. I
made presentations to the City Council in many of these and other issues. My
commitment to community issues continues to be a major activity of my
professional and personal life.
From 1978 to present, I have been very active in the
preservation and creation of the Santa Monica Mountains for design and
maintenance of public hiking, bicycling and equestrian trails linking Woodland
Hills to the Pacific Ocean and providing grants to the local elementary schools
for environmental educational programs.
At present, I am a Member of the Board of
LINC Housing
working toward affordable senior housing. I continually work with Homeowners
Associations in regards to specific projects and City Planning issues. I have
designed building and negotiated agreements with local Homeowner Associations,
Developers and Government Agencies. I continue to review proposed and active
Zoning and City Planning Ordinances in Los Angeles, supplying written and oral
suggestions and comments. I have been actively working on the Woodland Hills
section of the Streetscape Committee for the Ventura Blvd. Specific Plan and
also on the Bike Path proposal of the MTA Right-of-Way Beautification Project.
We are creating a new ambiance to renew the spirit within our community.
My commitment to the health, safety and welfare of the
occupants of any project is at the forefront of my thoughts. I study building
product environmental effects and work toward specifying less toxic building
materials. I consider the materials origin, production and installation prior to
their selection, and in relation to the budget and building program. I am active
in the Los Angeles Eco-City Council, an extremely active group of people who
work toward and disseminate information on urban sustainable design concepts and
social behaviors. My contacts for earth friendly developments are with Local,
State and Federal Agencies and Utility Companies. Our access to information is
extremely broad.
