MAY R ’S CORNER
La Habra Heights must not become another
wildfire statistic like Paradise and Malibu!
N
ow that the wonderful rain has ceased, much vegetation growing
on our hillsides will become dangerous fire fuel. As homeowners
living in a very high fire-severity zone, we need to take care of Core samples have revealed that damage to

threat must be job one! As you know, some insurers won’t even insure extensive than previously understood.
in the Heights.
Recent councils (themselves concerned homeowners) focused
on these fire dangers by enacting more aggressive, year-round brush
clearance requirements, by increasing inspections and by enacting
a fee schedule that will penalize repeat offenders. In addition, we
purchased a program that enables fire inspectors using handheld
computers to immediately enter property inspection data.
Unfortunately, a few property owners just refuse to clear tinder
brush—and thus endanger themselves and their neighbors. These
few generate an inordinate amount of cost and work for the Fire
Department, and we are taking action to recapture those costs.
You should have received the 2019 Annual Brush Clearance
Program mailer. Just to clarify, initial inspection of all properties is
included in the yearly fire fee. However, if a property fails an initial or
subsequent inspection, the owner will be charged for re-inspection.
If a property is not cleared, the City will hire a contractor to do the
job and will assess the cost to the owner. As a last resort, the City is
authorized to record a lien against a property to recover these costs.
You must clear roadside dirt, debris and runoff
We embarked on a vigorous, 10-year, citywide road maintenance
and paving program after residents passed a road-maintenance fee
assessment in 2018. Dirt sluffing onto roadways causes more rapid
deterioration of underlying pavement and interferes with road repair
and maintenance. All property owners are legally required to keep dirt
and debris from their property off public roadways that border their
land. Better pavement management requires continuous cleaning of
dirt and debris off pavement.
At a joint meeting of the City Council, Planning Commission and
Roads Advisory Committee, we reached a consensus that the City
would assist in clearing dirt that had accumulated on some streets
over many years. At the April 8 council meeting, the City authorized
purchasing a Caterpillar 226D skid-steer loader to assist with road
maintenance, including cleaning in front of City-owned lands and
lifting heavy storm grates.
However, one machine cannot possibly clean all our roads, so we

their customers. In 1968, the Good family moved to La Habra
Heights, which they called “Eden.”
Six months later, they received word that a 16-acre parcel next to
their property was slated to become a 32-home subdivision, which
meant, in Jean’s words: “Our newly found Eden was about to be torn
apart.” Jean and a group of her neighbors fought back—and “arrived
on the threshold of 10 years of the most difficult land-use battles
in La Habra Heights’ history.” (See the article that Jean wrote about
those ongoing battles in the December 2018 issue of Heights Life.)
During the ensuing eventful decade, Jean’s citizens group kept
their community from being annexed by the City of La Habra,
prevented a large landfill from being built, developed a General Plan
that is still being used today and defended the Heights and its rural
lifestyle numerous times in “many long, raucous Board of Supervisor
meetings,” Jean said. One of her early responsibilities was repeatedly
filling buses with Heights citizens to attend those meetings.
Along the way, Jean took an Environment Law course at UC
Irvine and a Political Action class at UCLA to better equip herself
for the continuing struggle. She, along with others in the Heights
group, concluded that the best way forward was self-government.
Thus began the long, difficult campaign for that ended victoriously
