Deirdre Newman Daily Pilot COSTA MESA -When Perry Valantine and Mike Robinson first started at City Hall, beans were growing cm the north side of Costa Mesa and' there was a Woolworth's at South Coast Pla7.a. Between the two, they have more than 60 years of planning experience and three general plans under their beits -all with the city of Costa Mesa. Valantine started as an intern in 1972 and is now the assistan t development services director. Robinson start· ed in 1973 as an assistanl plan- ner and is now the planning and development manager. This past year has tested the city's planning limits as the City Council approved a downtown condominium project with dou- ble the density allowed in the general plan and considered adding a huge area to the re- development zone. But it's just par for the course for the bus- tling planning department these days, Valantine said. "If we rnmpan.• it 10 20 years ago. just about .my year is un- usual now." he saJJ . "I remember when we used to have time to sit in the office and read a planning magazine. !Those days arel long gone. Probably Mike and I are the only ones who can remem- ber that time. lt'i. i.o busy that you don't even have time for that now." . On Feb. 17, the w und l recog- ni7.ed VaJantine and Robinson for their JO years of i.ervice. Their dedication to Costa Mesa is a testament 10 the em- ployment culture of the time they started working. said Victo- ria Basolo, professor of social ecology at UC Irvine. "If they've been in it 30 years, they would have been in a differ- ent period or culture. where you do stay with your city," Basolo sald. ''Nowadays people coming out linto the workforce! ... they don't stay long·term. Public. pri- vate, state. federal, nonprofit -if you're involved in planning-re- lated work. people change jobs now more than they used to." The two have worked together so often that they have been known to finish each other's sen- tences. Valantine said. Except for the time they both focused on advanced planning tu hash out the city's first general plan in the late 1970s. the two are like yi n and yang, Robinson sald. "l\lalantinel is stronger at cur- rent planning," Hobinson said. "I think I'm more effective in Ion..:· range. advance planning." "Mike's a deep thinker and I do better with lines 011 paper, .. Valantine concurred. Both are quick to joke and laugh. a trail that has served them well over the decades. they say.

Valantine )>aid. Valantine got his internship straight out of college, after graduating with a degree in ur- ban studies. He was interested in city planning and lived in Custa Mesa so it seemed a natural fit . he said. One of the first projects ht• worked on was gathering infor· malion for a land-use database, so he went around and counted things like swimming pools and driveways. "It was a good way to get to know the city." he said. Hobinson also studied urban and regional planning and did his internship in Fullerton before joining Costa Mesa's planning department. Ironically, one of the first projects he worked on is one the city is grappling with now: whether the Westside bluffs should be convened from indus- trial to residential. In the early '70s, the area was 75% vacant and contained active oil fields, Hobinson said. And the industrial vroperty owners there didn't see any need to change. so nothing happened. he explained. "It reminds me of a . 4uote from Yogi Berra: 'When you see a fork in the road. take it,'" Valan- tine said. "TI1at didn't happen." "We took the spoon instead," Hobinson joked. The early 10 mid-1970s was a booming time for planning de - partments throughout the Matf' since the California Environ · mental Quality Act had jui.t heen passed and applied IC> private property planning, Robinson said. In Costa Mesa. there was a ~urge in interest in planning b- sues, like the Westside Commu- nity Plan. he added. Also. devel- opment pressures started to exen themselves in the city. as commercial and larger multi- family rel>idences joined single- family tracts, Valantine said. "Then the freeway came lo town," Valantine ~aid. Planning has gotten m ore complicated as the city has run out of raw land to develop, the two agreed. And the develop- ment concepts are getting m ore Internet. Volunteers for that program must be at least 12 years old. (714) 546-1826 or www.bestbuddies.org.

The concept of redevelopment has permeated most parts of the city as developers look to en- hance areas that have already been developed. Robinson said. "All the easy things have been done." he said. Both planners say they have benefited from profei.sional seminars, confer- ences and clas'\es. <L'> well as visiting other citie~. Hobin~on also has a master's degree in public administration. "You start looking at the de- tails of urban fabric." Robinson said. HYour vacation pictures end up being of buildings. parks and open space." One of the concepts Valantine has seen in his trnvels that Costa Mesa is exploring is mixed-u:.e. where developments arc created with both commercial and resi- dential uses. In addition 10 help- ing solve the problem of lacking land, it also helps case traffic congestion. he said. "In Paris. you almost couldn't teU it was rush hour because so many people walk and take the metro," VaJan1inc said.

BOLTON LETTER TO THE EDITOR Where will the dolphins migrate now?

From the beginning. this was a project that represented the intentions of a relatively smaJJ group of people who ignored established city procedures -the gujdance of the Newpon Beach Arts Commission for starters -as well as input from several art expens with related businesses in Corona del Mar.

Olal1ces are It would be a sculprure, though. not a statue. Just a thought. • LAUAI MENDENHAU is a Newport Beach resident. That city codl' seems to also be completely i.:nored by our city leaders. Ont' rehabilitation center in the IROO l>lock of West Oceanfront opl·rates 27 beds for addicts with only three parlc.inK spaces. according to city documents from the fire marshal. With only three parking space~. this rehab center should only be allowed nine beds. The dramatic increase in drug and alcohol addicb, and these businesses, in our residential communities in the direct resuJt of no city action. In contrast. the city of Irvine enjoys a well-enforced city zoning code !similar to Newport's). resulting in no residential ly-based rehabilitation centers. What a difference a little city leadership makes. Hundreds of Newport residents have been ill served by the city's capricious decision to "do nothing." It makes one wonder: If the city won't respond to residents' complaints to enforce and regulate current zoning code on drug rehab centers; what trust can we have that city leaders will lead with integrity on the proposed new hotel development on the peninsula? Capricious leadership? Residents of the city deserve, and should be demanding. more. As city leaders study their options, one rehab center makes $250.000 per month. City council's failure to enforce the law is profiling these businesses and costing residents the peaceful enjoyment of their homes. Welcome to Newpon Beach: drug rehabilitation' favorite city.

In that case, a ruthless killer narnct.I Steven Allen Abrams drove his car into a preschool, with lhe stated intent to harm irmocents. He succeeded. kiUing two children and injuring four 0U1ers and an a.Ide. Our story three weck.s ago, which we did issue a correction 1111, stated that the parents of the two young children who died, Brandon Wiener and Sierra Soto, had lost their petition to sue the preschool. Southcoast f;.arty Otlldhood teaming Center. in hoth superior and appellate courts. We reported that the parents Wefe 'going to take the matter IQ the stale Supreme Court. • We were wrong. The parents did win the right to sue the preschool al the appeDate court level. a fal1 we reported In April, and it Is the prt!IChool operatora, oot the parenla, who have appealed that ruling to the state Supreme Coun, TONY DODE RO Whcthl'r tJ1e parents' lawsuit against the preschool and the church that operated it can go on still must be decided. If the state Supreme Court rules for the parents, then a lawsuit will commence. Hope that clears things up. But the~·s more to dlscu111>. 'rhat editorial also opened up some old wounds with the Wiener family, who weren't happy with its message. "The chun:h and preschool should be held accountable since there had been a pl'evious accident at the same site a few years before," Brandon's mother Pun Wiener wrote In letter rebutting our editorial this week. "llad the playground been in the courtyard or a safer barrier been Installed, the children would not have been as visible or such easy target.au they were that honible day. Thia lllwsuit Is, u Ondy SolD......, Siena's mother, stated In the lut artkle, 'to draw attention to the Issue of ¥'ety In preschools and to set a precedent, that someorw will -;et· this as a warning signal 111 make• a change that will make them more accountable.'" We couJtln't aJ,rree with that la11t point more. We did our besl in the c<l.itoriaJ to avoid offending the families of Brandon Wiener and Sierra Soto. ·n1at's because we too have a deep conne<..1ion to that tragic day five years ago and we can't even begin to understand their pain. We don't want to add to It. Still. we can't Jet thal stop us fmm voicing our concerns. I was in the newsroom that horrible day. I wasn't the editor in chief lhen, but a senior editor for our parent company. r hopped Into the fray to edit and direct some of the coverage. l'U never forget my emotions or the emotions of others In the newsroom. The photographer Don Leach and reporter Greg RWJng. who now worts for the A'i.'iOClaled Pres.'!, were some of the first to arrive on the scene. The sight of children Injured and killed took a dreadlu.t toll and both of these newam<>pl wterans choked up u the htkh1 wore on. II gnawed at me, too.

But a~ain, that's nur poinl. Sierra Soto and Br.mdon Wiener aren't here today h<'rausC' of the actions of a killer. not because of the nC?Wlgenre of the preschool operators. Abrams is till' culprit. clear and simple, and ht!'s now behind hars for life. Could there h<.' some lesson In this for future prest.:honls to learn? Some new regulations to require stronger fences or gates? I suppose so. But no matter how much you try tn pmtcct your children from ham1. no matter how many rrccautions you take. now matter how much you pray that nothing had wi ll ever happen to them, tJ1ere·~ atways the possibility that circumstances or even downright evil will prevaif against you.
