Seal activists continue rope barrier pursuit A San Diego Superior Court judge tentatively denied the Animal Protection & Rescue League and La Jolla Friends of the Seals’ request for a preliminary injunction in a July 21 hearing. The injunction would require Mayor Jerry Sanders to immediately replace the rope barrier at the Children’s Pool. Seal activist and Animal Protection & Rescue League attorney Bryan Pease said Judge Jeffrey Barton “clearly thought there was something there that warranted further looking at.” If the tentative denial is upheld, Pease said the activists might pursue a motion to reconsider. “There’s no question in anybody’s mind that [the rope barrier] will be approved eventually,” he said. “The mayor is refusing to replace the rope barrier on an emergency basis in the meantime.” Pease said he believed that the park ranger, who began supervising the area in early July, helps mediate contact between human and seals but is not present enough to solve the problem. “He has been helpful when seals are on the beach with asking people to keep a safe distance, but he’s just not there all the time,” Pease said. “When he’s not there, people go right back up to the seals and the harassment continues.” Cave Street properties seek new home Efforts to relocate two historical properties at 1261 and 1263 Cave Street have been renewed. Marie Lia, an attorney representing the property lessees, is working with local community planning groups to facilitate a relocation of the properties to 2503 Ardath Road. “It’s a long process,” she said. The Fourth Church of Christ, Scientist, owns the property and leased it to the current lessees with the understanding that the lessees are responsible for creating a surface parking lot on that property to help provide more parking in La Jolla Village. “In order to do so, they need to relocate the houses,” Lia said. The process of finding an appropriate relocation site has continued since 2001. The lessees hope to implement the relocation and rehabilitate the properties to produce a single-family home with a guest house and a garage “in a manner that meets the National Park Service standards for relocation of historical homes and the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for Rehabilitation,” Lia said. Lia said the lessees, who she added are “experienced developers,” plan to then sell the home “for an amount that will yield them a return on this investment.” “The end result is that the needed increase in public parking for the Village and the long term preservation and protection to two historical resources will be accomplished without any cost to the taxpayers,” Lia said.
