3 Measure E would end 30-foot height limit in Midway District NEWS

By DAVE SCHWAB | The Beacon

A battle is brewing over November ballot Measure E proposing the removal of the Proposition D 30-foot height limit from the Midway District and Pechanga Arena. Proposition D is a 48-year-old voter-approved initiative passed in 1972 to preserve ocean views. It restricts coastal development to 30 feet in height. Measure E proponents claim the height limit should never have been applied in Midway as the district enjoys no ocean views. They also point out the existing Sports Arena, in the early stages of redevelopment, is 77 feet tall. Detractors insist abolishing the 30-foot Midway height restriction would be a precedent-setting move that could have an unwanted domino effect elsewhere. The City Council voted 7-2 in July to place the removal of the 30-foot Midway coastal height restriction on the Nov. 3 ballot. District 1 Councilmember Barbara Bry and Council President Georgette Gomez cast the two dissenting votes. “I’m voting no on this item because it does not consider other development that is planned in this community, and it will have major impacts that need to be considered,” said Bry in July. Recently, M idway-Paci f ic

Highway Community Planning Group chair and third-generation Midway business owner Cathy Kenton denounced Bry’s opposition to Measure E in a letter to her. “If you had taken the time to consult with our community, you would know that Measure E has been backed by the Midway Community Planning Group,” Kenton said. “Why have you taken such a hard line against Midway, its residents, its businesses, and its property owners? We have been crying out for improvements and railing against the blight, crime, and utter decay in our community for far too long. “Why would you want to continue the tradition of strip malls, strip clubs, trash, and homelessness that is pervasive in Midway? Because you think we need more time dealing with these problems? We don’t need more time. We need to get on with the job of making the Midway/Sports Arena arena a jewel in the crown of San Diego.” “Measure E will allow for the construction of a new Sports Arena and transform the surrounding community into a thriving neighborhood with parks, shopping, and entertainment for the entire city to enjoy,” said District 2 Councilmember Dr. Jen Campbell. “It will also protect the coastal height limit in beach

communities and help enact the Midway community plan, which calls for ‘a vibrant, balanced, and pedestrian-oriented community that provides residential, commercial, office, industrial, institutional, military, and civic uses.’” But some Peninsulans remain unconvinced that removing Midway’s 30-foot height limit is desirable – or justifiable. “I am against lifting the 30-foot rule in Midway,” said Point Loman Mandy Havlik. “I think that it is the start of a slippery slope that will erode the protections of the 30-foot rule that has protected the coastal region from overdevelopment.” “The only way this measure would earn my support was if there was some protection for every other community in the Coastal Overlay Zone,” said Obecian Andrea Schlageter. “This could have looked like a number of things, a moratorium on any other votes to lift the height limit, requiring that a height limit raise originate from a plan update, or hold any future votes in just that planning area. Similarly to raising the height limit in the Midway District, all these options need to be approved by the voters of San Diego.” “While I am in favor of improving the Midway District … I am opposed to the exemption of the

Arena area,” said Point Loma attorney David Dick. “I’m not concerned about the precedent it sets – since I don’t think it sets a precedent. I think the fact that it’s even covered by Prop. D was the result of an oversimplified description of what should be subject to the limitation – everything west of I-5. My concern is centered on making sure that significantly more intense built environment planned for that area – whether all at 30 feet or in taller buildings – is supported by the infrastructure necessary to support it.”

30-foot height limit in the Midway District,” said Point Loman Korla Eaquinta. “Many believe the exemption will be for the Sports Arena development only but the measure language has no limitations, so it would be (for) the entire Midway District. When this was brought up at the CPC meeting in August, Clairemont jumped right on the bandwagon and wanted to raise the height limit there. I believe this is a slippery slope.” “I don’t object to removing the height limit in the Midway/Sports

San Diego Airport receives grant for noise mitigation measures Authority through the Quieter Home Program, the airport’s residential sound insulation program. The FAA has determined that residences within the 65 to 69 decibel level contour map around San Diego Airport may be eligible for sound insulation treatments to mitigate aircraft noise. The FAA has set a goal of reducing interior noise levels for eligible residents by at least five decibels inside the home, providing a noticeable reduction in noise.

On Sept. 1, U.S. Secretary of Transportation Elaine L. Chao announced the Trump Administration will award San Diego International Airport a total of $18,023,885 in two airport safety and infrastructure grants through the Federal Aviation Administration for noise mitigation measures. The $18 million in grants marks the largest annual amount given to San Diego Airport by the FAA for its Quieter Home Program. The funds are administered by the San Diego County Regional Airport

“I am the taxpayer advocate in the race,” countered Briggs. “I’m running for three reasons: I want to end politics in the office. I want the City Attorney’s legal work to make not headlines for the City Attorney, but a difference in your (public’s) life. The City Attorney’s office should be working on issues important to you (taxpayers), not the City Attorney’s political career. I want the office to be fully transparent. I want to restore confidence in the quality of lawyering coming out of the office.” Added Briggs, “You need a lawyer who actually knows how to be a lawyer. I’m the only candidate who’s made a payroll, the only candidate who’s advised small-businesses. I don’t take money or endorsements from lobbyists. I’m beholden only to taxpayers and voters, and I only take donations from regular San Diegans.” Both candidates were queried on short-term rentals. Elliott answered that City regulations governing short-term rentals still need clarification. “We need to have reasonable regulations on the books, and the code says that if the use is not listed, it’s not permitted, not allowed,” she said. “I’m looking for leadership from the mayor and council to

“Brookfield’s proposal best aligned with the City’s desire to select a proposer that would provide a high-level of service to the local and regional community and overall operate the site in a fiscally responsible manner,” wrote City Deputy Chief Operating Officer Erik Caldwell in an Aug. 28 letter to San Diego Mayor Kevin Faulconer. “This proposal also encapsulated the City’s vision for a vibrant pedestrian- and transit-oriented entertainment area that is a landmark and attraction for the MidwayPacific Highway Community and surrounding communities incorporating a mix of entertainment, office, retail, residential, public and park use,” Caldwell added. “We are honored to have been selected to put forth a master plan that will transform this site into a world-class, mixed-use entertainment district,” said Chase Martin, a senior vice-president at Brookfield Properties. “We look forward to working with the City to deliver a project that will celebrate sports and entertainment while creating a community. Both Brookfield and ASM are excited about this vision and look forward to starting the conversation with the community to bring it to life.” Added Martin: “ASM Global operates some of the premier entertainment facilities in the world.

Returning to Margarita’s for a delicious meal By JUDI CURRY | The Beacon

It has been a long time since I had breakfast at Margarita’s. It used to be a favorite place for my husband and me, but since he passed away I haven’t been back. In fact, I wasn’t headed that way today, but an interesting thing took place. My breakfast companion was Ibrahim Al Nashashibi, better known to most of us as Al, the owner of Fairouz restaurant. I don’t think I have ever dined with a “restaurateur” before. We originally were going to have breakfast at the Breakfast Republic but the

wait was over 30 minutes and Al said he never waited more than 10 minutes for a seat in a restaurant. Even though we gave them our name, hoping that we would have a table sooner, we began walking down Newport to see the changes taking place. When we got to Margarita’s, there was a sign that read, “join us in our outside patio,” and we decided to check it out. In all the years I ate there I never knew they had an outside patio! It was small, intimate, and away from the exhaust of cars driving by. All but one of the tables was occupied, and we found ourselves sitting in the middle of

BE SURE TO "FUND" YOUR TRUST AS PART OF THE ESTATE PLANNING PROCESS By: Dick McEntyre and Chris von der Lieth, Attorneys at Law You may have a beautifully prepared trust instrument (Declaration of Trust or Trust Agreement) which sets forth your exact intentions and directions as to whom is to receive the property in your trust (in the trust estate) when you die. However, unless you transferred your titled assets (examples: house, bank accounts, stock brokerage accounts) at or after the time you created your trust, when you die these titled assets, depending upon their values, may well require a probate (long, costly court procedure) to enable their respective titles to be transferred into your trust, before your successor trustee can transfer these assets out of the trust to your intended trust beneficiaries. Simply listing these titled assets on a schedule attached to your Declaration of Trust is not enough. You must transfer your legal ownership in each such asset to yourself as trustee of your trust.

Typically at the time your trust instrument is prepared, your attorney will prepare the deed necessary to transfer legal title to your home into your trust, and you yourself will be responsible for transferring the other titled assets into your trust. This process is often called "funding" your trust. And it is somewhat of a "hassle" for some folks to do this. This is because you usually must personally visit your bank to change title to bank accounts and must correspond with stock brokerage firms and complete lengthy forms to transfer such brokerage accounts. But all your effort is certainly worthwhile, if by doing so you avoid a probate!

The above statements are not to be taken as legal advice for the reader’s particular situation. Richard F. McEntyre practices law in the area of estate planning and administration, having served the San Diego community as a lawyer for over 40 years.

the patio. But in spite of that, the tables were situated in such a way that we didn’t really “see” the others at the tables around us. One of the things about Margarita’s is that they already had a menu in place prior to the Covid-19 crisis. And it is extensive with appetizers, combos, ala carte, salads, kids items, breakfast, both Mexican and American, omelets, pancakes, and even lunch. When I say extensive, I mean it! I was a little surprised that Al was not real familiar with Mexican food. He decided to order a combination of eggs, sausage, hash brown, and choice of pancakes or toast (he chose wheat toast). For all that delicious food, the cost was only $7.75! A real bargain. And this was not a “special.” This came off the breakfast menu. While he was waiting for his breakfast, he was served piping hot coffee, and we were both given ice water. I have always liked Machaca

and was able to order it ala carte instead of as a combination. The combination would have been a little bit more than the $9 plus $1 for corn tortillas that we paid for ala cart, but I knew I would not eat the rice or beans. It came to me piping hot and was very tasty. Al had never had Machaca and said he liked it when he tasted mine. The tortillas were so hot that at first, I couldn’t even handle them.

San Diego breweries aid in recovery with a beer to benefit San Diego Brewers Guild When COVID-19 abruptly shut down breweries across San Diego, one collective pooled its resources to help the local beer industry thrive. Now, Stone Brewing, AleSmith, Modern Times, Mother Earth, Pizza Port, Port Brewing, and Thorn announce the epic collaboration beer benefiting the San Diego Brewers Guild, San Diego Brewers United Double IPA. The San Diego Brewers Guild provides imperative resources, guidance and marketing support to more than 120 San Diego County

breweries of all sizes. The Guild was forced to cancel many of its revenue-generating events and generously froze membership fees to offer relief to its members during business closures. The safety measures left the organization with little revenue to support the local guild. Proceeds of the San Diego Brewers United Double IPA will directly benefit the San Diego Brewers Guild.

Our waitress came to the table several times to ask if there was anything else we needed. I was a little surprised that rather than refilling the coffee, Al was brought a separate cup and when our waters were refilled we received new glasses. The total bill came to just under $24. Everything was hot, delicious, and someplace we will go again. I stayed away too long.

Pointing out closing is “bittersweet” after 83 years in business,” Jacobs acknowledged, “I will miss it, but I won’t miss having to be responsible for everything.” Asked about his retirement plans, Jacobs said, “I’m going to get a nice bike and ride that a lot more. I’ll play my guitar more, maybe start up a band. As soon as it gets to be safe, I could travel.” Belonging to the Point Loma Association and a board member of the Point Loma Optimist Club, Jacobs intends to remain active in both.

Plans are for A.L Jacobs and Sons to remain open until they no longer have inventory to sell. “We started a closing sale last month that will likely last through October,” said Jacobs, adding how long the sale lasts “will depend on what I have left, and what kind of reception I’m getting as far as people coming in.” Previously at 2445 Truxtun Road in Liberty Station for a

number of years, A.L. Jacobs and Sons eventually moved down the road to Point Loma Village, where the business continued to offer custom-designed jewelry and unique collections such as Rhythm designers' collection of diamond necklaces and pendants. Over the years, A.L. Jacobs has done appraisals, jewelry, and watch repair as well as estate buying.

Loving — Working — Playing On the Peninsula

A.L. Jacobs and Sons, an 83-year-old family-owned Point Loma jewelry shop, is holding a liquidation sale. Third-generation jeweler Chris Jacobs, the last remaining family member in the business, has decided to call it a career. “I am retiring and closing the business,” said Jacobs, the son of the son of a jeweler whose grandfather, Alocious Leo Jacobs, started the business in downtown San Diego in 1937. A.L Jacobs and Sons had four different locations from 1937 to 1996 when the family closed its last downtown location. Admitted the 67-year-old Jacobs, “I’d been thinking about retiring for a while.” Jacobs said his decision was hastened by the pandemic. “We were closed from March 9 through May 6, and those six weeks with nothing happening … it made [retiring] a lot easier. I’d been working in the store for 44 years.” Jacobs noted the family business once employed not only his father and grandfather but two aunts and two uncles. “I’m the only one from my generation who stuck with it,” he said. The retiring jeweler also noted that stiff competition from internet sales was a “big factor” in his final decision to close. “It’s hard to keep your business afloat when you’re competing against people (online) who actually have no overhead and can therefore sell stuff cheaper because they do not have a brick-and-mortar shop,” Jacobs said. “I did my best to meet their prices, but it was difficult.” Though Jacobs pointed out storefronts do continue to enjoy some advantages over online. “With

Family photos lined the Point Loma jewelry shop’s walls. A continuous video on the back wall depicted the jewelry-making process. A certified gemologist, Jacobs graduated from the Gemological Institute of America. Twice a year, he would go to gem shows in Phoenix and Las Vegas to pick up specific things he needed, or to find things that would set his store apart from traditional jewelry stores. Jacobs has done lots of jewelry appraisal work “mostly for insurance purposes.” He noted that the appraisal determines not only the insurance premium the customer pays but also the ceiling on the insurance company’s liability for having to replace it. In closing, Jacobs noted: “I really have some beautiful (jewelry) pieces in here. I’d love to find a nice home for them.”

OB Hostel reopens under new management By DAVE SCHWAB | The Beacon

The OB Hostel, with its iconic rooftop ’60s peace sign, has emerged from the pandemic pause under new ownership. “We were closed from the end of March up until the end of August, but are so happy to be able to open our doors safely to guests,” said new hostel general manager Julie Jamgochian, with Samesun Ocean Beach, which now operates the facility at 4961 Newport Ave. “We have several other Samesun locations in California and throughout Canada. We pride ourselves on making sure guests have a safe, comfortable, and clean environment to stay in.” Samesun plans to open the OB Hostel’s kitchen “as soon as we are legally allowed,” said Jamgochian who added, “We hope to get activities back as soon as is safe for our guests and staff alike. We’re happy to be so close to the beach and in this incredible community.” Added Jamgochian, “The company name has changed but our staff has stayed the same. We have hired back the staff who worked here previously under USA Hostels.” Of the transaction, the new hostel GM noted, “The sale was quick as the building is in great condition and has been maintained thoroughly throughout the years.” There are some changes because of COVID-19 in regards to activities and kitchen accessibility, pointed out Jamgochian. “We have converted a lot of dorms to beautiful private rooms," she said. "We are maxing out at half capacity per San Diego COVID-19 guidelines. And we have hand sanitization stations throughout the building. We also now require masks to be worn when walking through the halls and socially distanced back patio.”

BUSINESS 10 When working from home becomes working on your home FRIDAY · September 11, 2020

THE PENINSULA BEACON

OB HARDWARE AND OTHER HOME IMPROVEMENT STORES SEE UPTICK IN BUSINESS described by Ted Teran, general manager of Dixieline in the Midway District, as a real boon for the local industry. “It’s sad but true … We’ve seen a real uptick in business,” said Teran, speculating people at home more now were coming in to buy building materials. “The lumber side of the business never slowed down as people were still remodeling their homes, taking care of projects they normally wouldn’t have had time to do.” But Teran added, “As people are going back to work, we could see it (business) trailing off a little bit.”

By DAVE SCHWAB | The Beacon

Peninsula home-improvement businesses, large and small, have fared better than most during the ongoing pandemic. That has proved true for OB Hardware at 4871 Newport Ave., Dixieline Lumber and Home Centers at 3250 Sports Arena Blvd., and The Home Depot at 3555 Sports Arena Blvd. The coronavirus, which has closed many other businesses since mid-March, has also forced many people, unemployed or not, back into their homes. That was

Mike DeEmedio, who has coowned OB Hardware along with Michael Grimes since March 2019, agreed the pandemic proved to be a plus for business, not a minus. “During the height of the first shutdown things got crazy,” said DeEmedio. Cautioning they’d just taken over a struggling business a year ago, DeEmedio added, “We were doing very well (this year), a lot better than we had around springtime last year. “Our business picked up as people were doing a lot of renovations and improvements. We definitely saw an uptick. April and May were our busiest months.” Since then, DeEmedio noted business has “settled back down a little,” but added, “We’re still up.” Judging by frequent long lines outside The Home Depot in the Midway District, business – and demand – have been solid during the pandemic. Contacted by the Peninsula Beacon, The Home Depot’s corporate headquarters in Atlanta said that, as a private entity, the company does not break out sales trends for individual stores. Rather, the popular hardware chain publicly reports business trends quarterly through earnings announcements. But Home Depot spokesperson Margaret Watters Smith did

Dixieline Lumber and Home Centers at 3250 Sports Arena Blvd. DAVE SCHWAB/PENINSULA BEACON

comment on the national company’s overall performance earlier this year. “During the first quarter, we saw strong sales across the store with all departments showing mid-single to double-digit comps,” she said. “As customers prepared to shelter-in-place, we saw particularly strong growth with certain categories like cleaning and safety and security, but we also saw growth above our expectations in other core categories. “During the last three weeks of the quarter … we saw strong comps across most of our departments, as customers focused on a number of home improvement projects,” said Watters Smith. DeEmidio of OB Hardware added the pandemic this spring was “a busy time in our garden department.” He pointed out that “people

were at home sitting around and they all started a garden. Our gardening department went crazy.” Acknowledging COVID has been a “tough spot” for the economy, DeEmidio noted that, for his neighborhood hardware store, “It’s been good for business.” Dixieline’s Teran surmised that long lines elsewhere may have explained, in part, why more customers “who didn’t even know we existed” were starting to come in. “Hopefully, we did a great job of servicing these new customers,” he said. While admitting the pandemic “spike” will likely level at some point, Teran concluded, “I don’t see that happening for a couple more months at least. We obviously don’t want this thing (virus) to continue. But we’re ready to take care of the customers.”

The light blue, medical-style masks have become more accessible. But unfortunately, those coverings have become an environmental enigma as people toss them on the ground. PHOTOS BY JACK GATES

Face coverings: Like or dislike them … just don’t be a mask litterbug By JACK GATES | The Beacon

“They’re everywhere,” exclaimed Ian Monahan, marketing manager with I Love a Clean San Diego. “People are discarding protective masks on the beaches, streets, along curbs, and sidewalks. And it’s not just a beach issue, we’re seeing a huge increase in PPE (personal protective equipment) litter countywide.” It’s another by-product of the pandemic. More people might be wearing masks to protect themselves and others from transmitting coronavirus. But now more people are tossing those masks aside, leaving a trashy trail of litter on the ground. “If people take the responsibility to wear a protective mask, why wouldn’t they take the responsibility to dispose of it properly?” wondered Monahan. “A disposable mask does not mean dispose of it on the ground.” Monahan said he recently walked up from the beach and through several alleys in Pacific Beach. “In just a half-hour, I picked-up 30 masks that had been tossed on the ground. It’s become a larger litter problem than most people think.” Those light blue, medical-style masks have become more accessible. But unfortunately, those coverings have become an environmental enigma. “Most people don’t realize those light blue masks

are also made of plastic and plastic doesn’t go away. When a person litters those light blue masks, it’s like littering plastic grocery bags. It’s a huge burden on the environment.” And even cloth masks, which are washable and reusable, are also being tossed along beaches, streets, and sidewalks. “We’d like to see people use and reuse cloth masks properly and be safe. But we also want to keep the environment safe.” The I Love a Clean San Diego organization is holding its 36th annual Coastal Day Clean-up on Saturday, Sept. 26. Volunteers can now register to take part in the environmental event. And this year, Monahan said, one of the big enemies will be those discarded protective masks. “We’ll be asking volunteers to keep tallies of how many littered masks they pick up, just like we tally cigarette butts. We want to get a snapshot of the widespread mask misuse.” Monahan said the group will use that information to hopefully come up with an anti-littering mask campaign. He added, “To take action and to help out is the collective responsibility of us all.” Another issue to tackle in this extraordinary year of 2020. Anyone interested in volunteering for this year’s Coastal Clean-up Day can contact I Love a Clean San Diego at ilacsd.org or 619-291-0103.

Shelter Island Boat Launch project honored by American Public Works Association The Port of San Diego has been recognized by the American Public Works Association (APWA) San Diego-Imperial Counties Chapter with an honor award for the Shelter Island Public Boat Launch project. The honor award is a component of the annual APWA Awards Program, which recognizes outstanding individuals, groups and chapters representing the best in public works. The project was honored in the program’s Structures category, which includes new public structures or the preservation or rehabilitation of existing public structures including municipal buildings and parks. Award criteria included: • Planning, design, construction management techniques, and regulatory compliance; • Degree to which the project enhanced a public facility/service; • Community engagement and safety;

• Environmental protection/mitigation; and • Adverse conditions encountered during construction. The Port’s application focused on the magnitude of the project scope, the importance of the Shelter Island Boat Launch to the boating and fishing communities in San Diego as well as visitors, and the continued public involvement during both design and construction. “The Port of San Diego is honored to receive this award from the APWA San Diego-Imperial Counties Chapter,” said Chair Ann Moore, Port of San Diego Board of Port Commissioners. “This launch ramp is a very popular amenity on San Diego Bay and we are pleased that we could provide these upgrades so that it can be enjoyed by our residents and visitors for years to come.” Read more online at sdnews.com

important, whether they lived a worldly life full of exotic experiences, or a simple life of home and family.” Of her exhibit subjects, Fotinos Burrell said, “There’s so much beauty in their life experiences and it all shines through their faces and their eyes.” The church director was also inspired by church senior pastor Karla Shaw who exhorted her ministry directors to “do things in a creative way.” So Fotinos Burrell responded by “coming up with the idea to photograph them and feature their stories.” The exhibit of 22 men and women ranging in age from 80 to 98 includes, besides their portraits, information revealing their life histories discussing their formative experiences and work and family lives, as well as answering questions regarding their favorite age and happiest and saddest days. The photographic and literary portraits include a discussion by seniors of their most profound life lessons. The photographic exhibition was supposed to run in May but was delayed by the pandemic. Fotinos Burrell pointed out the changed exhibit timeline is “good especially now while our cherished seniors are most vulnerable and invisible due to the pandemic. Let us honor and no written objection is timely filed, the court may grant the petition without a hearing. NOTICE OF HEARING a. Date: 10/05/2020 TIME: 8:30 AM DEPT: 61; b.

The personal characters of the living legends gracing Point Loma Community Presbyterian Church’s outdoor photography exhibit absolutely radiate from their spirited black-and-white portraits. Elithe, 93, is Jewish, has spoken four languages fluently, and was a professional violinist who performed at the Hollywood Bowl, Copley Hall, and Tijuana Concert Hall. She was an athlete who played numerous sports and danced professionally at age 17. Her mother lived to be 105. Bob, 85, born on a Texas farm, was “entrepreneurial.” He owned, along with four partners, a large gold mining company. He also sold aircraft in Europe, Africa, and Asia as well as building condos in South Carolina and establishing a yacht business and two large self-storage companies. Then there is Fran, 93, a Marine, and dean, 90, who looks like a senior model in a fashion ad. These are just a few of the seniors showcased in “Your Life Is a Work of Art: A Celebration of People in Their 80s and 90s,” now showing at the Presbyterian Church at 2128 Chatsworth Blvd. A few of those depicted are native San Diegans. Several are from the Midwest or rural backgrounds. “I was inspired to do this project through my work with seniors here who are 80 and 90 years old and above,” said Elaine Fotinos Burrell, director of senior adult ministry at the church. “I would hear their wonderful life stories and learned so much from them. I felt that their stories needed to be told, and their beauty celebrated through a portrait.” Added Fotinos Burrell: “Being blessed with a long life certainly has its challenges, but there is beauty in the faces of our precious octogenarians and nonagenarians that only comes from life experience. Each person’s story is valuable and
