Tiger Sanctuary appeals denial of CUP, David Casselman, Isis Sanctuary

Tiger Sanctuary Proponents Try Once More

Posted: Friday, July 25, 2014 7:00 am | Updated: 8:55 am, Fri Jul 25, 2014.

Just when the dust seemed settled, advocates of the proposed tiger sanctuary in Ventura County just west of Malibu have re-opened the case, filing suit to overturn the decision against the facility.
Irena Hauser, who claims years of experience working with tigers, was denied the conditional use permit (CUP) to build a tiger training and housing facility in March and then lost a June appeal. This will be her third attempt to obtain permits for the tiger sanctuary.

On July 14, Hauser filed an appeal against the Ventura County Board of Supervisors, asking for a reversal of the original decision.
“The decision of the Board must be reversed and remanded,” reads the suit, which cites "deprivation of fair hearing" and "abuse of discretion" as the basis for the appeal.
The Ventura County Superior Court will now take the case, which was filed by Casselman Law Group on behalf of Hauser.
Hauser and her sister Sophia Kryszek seek a permit to construct a 13,500-square-foot exercise arena and enclosures. Hauser and her family tout years of experience training and working with the tigers. Hauser and Kryszek own ISIS Preservation, which supplies the white tigers for filming in the entertainment industry. 
The sanctuary is controversial in Malibu and southern Ventura County, where many residents fear the tigers could pose a threat to native wildlife, as well as the people and pets living nearby.

Isis Preservation on 20/20, Good Morning America - White tiger sanctuary Malibu

Isis Preservation, Irena Hauser, Sophia are on 20/20. Below is a three minute intro clip to the segment which will be aired later today. Only the white tiger in this video belongs to Isis Preservation. The other tigers, alligator, snake, bear belong to other people. It was a bit irresponsible of the video crew to all those other images. Dumped unwanted alligators and snakes have nothing to do with this situation.



ABC News | ABC Sports News

The two real estate "experts" don't know what they are talking about. The Playboy Mansion has a zoo. Ellen Degeneres bought the home next door few months ago for $35 million. She just sold it for $50 million. The Playboy Mansion's zoo did not affect the property value. Some of their animals freely roam the compound. Currently there are wild mountain lions, coyotes, bobcats, foxes, raccoons... around the property. That has not affected the property value either.

Barbara Corcoran is not a real estate agent, broker or appraiser. She is a TV personality who lives in New York. She is not a real estate "mogul." She had a business which she sold which wrote about real estate trends. She knows nothing about animals or how they related to property values.

Daniel Irwin Bercu at 11345 PACIFIC VIEW DR, MALIBU, CA 90265 is a real estate broker since 1992. What he said is completely untrue. Currently almost all the neighbors have horses, dogs and other farm animals. Statistics show you're more likely to be attacked and killed by a horse, dog or other farm animal than a tiger. A home next door to a property with an animal enclosure would not be worthless.

Below is transcript of the above video.

"Back now at 7:42. Outraged homeowners in a wealthy malibu neighborhood fighting to prevent their neighbors from keeping tigers in their backyard. The neighbors say they're not breaking any laws but the homeowners needless to say feel it's a risk to their safety and also their property value. That is know not a tiger. They got more than tiger. ABC's Rebecca Jarvis will tell you more. ? Reporter: High above malibu, California, amidst the cliffs and views is a rustic neighborhood called deer park. Nanette and Dan thought their home here was their castle. Until one day they say something reared its ugly head. The threat is something they never anticipated. Ooh. Reporter: A white siberian tiger, trainers irina Howser and Sophia creshak brought one in a temporary cage to show us. Around this entire area would be a perimeter fence with barbed wire on top. Reporter: The sisters thought it would be a formality to get a permit to permanently keep the tigers on their property. They thought wrong. They are our closest neighbors and a tiger can get here in 30 seconds. Reporter: The family lives a few hundred yards away. We're a young family. Last thing we want to worry about is tigers getting lose and eating our children. Reporter: They weren't the only ones upset. Signs went up all along the roadside. Deer creek not tiger creek. As mothers we empathize. It is safe. No tiger has ever escaped a property and gone to a neighboring property and killed anybody. Reporter: But Dan bercu isn't just a concerned father, he's in the real estate business. A property adjacent to a wild animal preserve is basically worthless. Reporter: It's come up before. It's legal to own exotic animals of some sort in 29 states so homeowners in a Cincinnati neighborhood had to worry about this 16-foot python and imagine how residents at this mountain pleasant, South Carolina, apartment felt when they discovered this skin from an african viper. Going through what we've gone through and maybe die from some rare african viper. Reporter: How do you think they felt about a girl parading her pet bear cub on the front lawn. Animals and real estate, never a mix. From a barking door next door will diminish your value to a lion down the street. What you got to do is check out the neighborhood before you make the offer and most people don't. Reporter: For "Good morning America," Rebecca Jarvis, ABC news, New York. I love that. Barbara Corcoran. Barking dog, the lion down the street. A common problem. Wow. You can see more of this incredible story. Rebecca's report tonight "20/20" on ABC 10:00, 9:00 central. Who is one of the hosts? I've heard of it. I heard he has fabulous hair. Just a clue. Coming up, the lady in red."

20/20 TV episode about Isis Sanctuary filmed on the property with a tiger, lawyer David Casselman and the Hausers

It was supposed to have run a few weeks ago but was bumped by another story. I will post the date it will be on TV. I've been told one of the tigers is on the site with the family and their lawyer David Casselman. David Casselman is the number one animal rights attorneys in the US. http://www.wcclaw.com/Bio/DavidCasselman.asp

Appeal hearing before the Board of Supervisors today

We will be posting video from the appeal hearing today at the Board of Supervisors as soon as it is available.

Before the meeting started the lobbyist most likely paid by Lisa Siderman named Cheline Lundin put stickers on 2/3 of the chairs in the room. This caused there not to be enough room for Isis Preservation supporters to fit in the room. Some sat outside in the lobby and viewed the meeting on the tv screens.

Before the meeting an elderly woman with white hair came over to the supporters side and said "No tigers! No Russians!!!" directly in the face of Irena, Sophia and their lawyers. This same person whom I will name when I am 100% positive of her name then confronted a supporter physically. Security had to repeatedly warn this old white hair woman to control herself or she would be ejected and could be jailed. Before the hearing in the lobby these people stated that "someone should pick them off with a sharp shooter," "these people will never be our neighbor." During the meeting they stated that people might "cut open the cages and free the tigers."

At a previous hearing Planning Commissioner stated she would be able to see the roof of the enclosure from the Serrano horse trail. This was a bold face lie. There is no place on the trail where one could see the roof. Today Lisa Siderman showed photos stating you could see the side of the house from 1.2 miles away and below the structure. This proves Commissioner Nora Audukis lied when she stated she'd be able to see the roof. The side of the house will always be visible no matter if there are enclosures or not. The Hausers offered to put camoflague netting and add more trees need be.

Many other similar and very disgusting things happened before the hearing and afterward. These included falsified emails, defamation, libel, slander, threats to children and much much more.

One interesting thing came up today. It turns out Irena is an aerospace engineer who graduated from UCLA cum laude. She worked on the docking mechanism of the Space Shuttle. More tomorrow.

We do not know the plans of Isis Preservation at this time. We do know that one must appeal a Planning Commission decision to the Board of Supervisors. The BOP are voted in. They are not appointed. Therefore the BOP would want to do what what most people in Ventura county who can vote want to do. The case cannot be appealed to the State level until after it's appealed and denied by the BOP.

One last interesting thing was that the eight year old son of a supporter noted today that the detractor's logo is in fact a double negative. This means their logo actually means "yes, tigers."

Carlos Siderman article from Save Our Oak Trees Foundation

We were emailed the below last night from Save Our Oak Trees Foundation. Here is the original link.

Carlos Siderman, Property ID illegally bulldozed protected creek, oak trees, coastal zone
by Save Our Oak Trees
Sunday Jun 8th, 2014 6:46 PM

Carlos Siderman President of Property ID and Deer Creek Ranch Malibu was reported by multiple individuals to government agencies for illegally bulldozing a protected creek and oak trees in the Coastal Zone in Malibu, California. Carlos Siderman is currently under investigation by Ventura County planning, zoning and the coastal commission.
illegal_road.jpg
illegal_road.jpg

Through the results of State Information Act Requests it was revealed that multiple individuals have reported Carlos Siderman to authorities for bulldozing a protected creek and oak trees. Carlos Siderman was reported December 2013, March 2014 and on other dates. Carlos Siderman was also reported for running an illegal business on the same residential property. In order to run a business in a residential zone he would need a conditional use permit which he does not have.

The December 2013 complaint CV13-0505 states Carlos Siderman "Brush or vegetation removal (oak trees)and grading without required planned development permits." (pdfhttps://drive.google.com/file/d/0B6QQek7gVUpyVl84ZlhnRWVrSkE/edit?usp=sharing )

March 2014 another complaint was made for "illegal removal of oak trees, bulldozing a running creek on protected coastal zone, running a business in a residential zone without a conditional use permit and illegal signs." (5 MB pdf https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B6QQek7gVUpydDF3YmRpNHBiaUE/edit?usp=sharing )

Carlos Siderman currently runs Deer Creek Ranch Malibu from a residence located at 10995 Pacific View Drive, Malibu California 90265. Deer Creek Ranch breeds, sells, boards, horses, goats and ducks besides offering horse rides off trail in the Santa Monica mountains to prospective horse buyers. ( http://www.deercreekranchmalibu.com )

Neighbors believe that Carlos Siderman bulldozed the creek so he could ride his horses across his neighbor's property and into the protected Santa Monica mountains. Carlos Siderman and his wife Lisa Siderman have been seen riding on this illegally created horse trail into the protected Santa Monica mountains off trail.

Earlier this year Carlos Siderman and his wife Lisa Siderman paid a lobbyist to try to harass their neighbor into moving. It seems Carlos Siderman has eyed his neighbor's property for many years so he can go across it to access the Santa Monica mountains on his horses. He also wants to have prospective horse buyers ride on these same off trail areas.

While investigating this land situation the true history Carlos Siderman has come to light. He and his business Property ID were sued by the Department of Justice, Department of Housing Urban Development and class action plaintiffs for violations of Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act of 1974 ("RESPA"). Carlos Siderman was found guilty of giving illegal kick backs in real estate transactions. HUD forced Carlos Siderman to pay a $7.5M fine which is disgorgement of ill gotten gains.

"WHEREAS, RESPA § 2607(a) prohibits the giving or accepting of any fee,
kickback, or thing of value pursuant to any agreement or understanding, oral or
otherwise, that business incident to or part of a real estate settlement service
involving a federally related mortgage loan shall be referred to any person, and
§ 2607(b) prohibits the giving or accepting of any portion, split, or percentage of
any charge made or received for the rendering of a real estate settlement service
involving a federally related mortgage loan other than for services actually
performed;"

"WHEREAS, Property I.D. has agreed to pay $7,500,000, which will be
allocated among the three Berger settlement classes described above and which
will be available to pay Property I.D.’s NHDS report customers (hereinafter the
"Class Settlement")."

Full settlement agreement is below. Carlos Siderman, Property ID were sued in a class action by people who had bought their hazard information. (http://portal.hud.gov/hudportal/documents/huddoc?id=DOC_19714.pdf )

Because the illegal kickbacks, false advertising, unfair trade practices came to light his son left Property ID and started his own company. His son Sergio Siderman was then forced to sue his father Carlos Siderman for unfair and unlawful competition, defamation per se, trade libel, misappropriation of trade secrets, malicious prosecution, conversion, tortious interference with prospective economic advantage and false advertising. (pdf https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B6QQek7gVUpyb3NveFFiTEtlb1k/edit?usp=sharing ) ( http://www.reuters.com/article/2008/01/17/idUS251025+17-Jan-2008+PRN20080117 )

In that lawsuit Carlos Siderman's ex wife Mirta and his son Sergio made sworn declarations against Carlos Siderman. Mirta stated that Carlos Siderman lied when he said he started Property ID in 1974. Carlos did not even arrive in the United States until 1976. He started Property ID in 1994 twenty years later. (pdf https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B6QQek7gVUpyNXZzdnZMZGppZlU/edit?usp=sharing )

Carlos Siderman's son Sergio also made a statement. Sergio Siderman states he worked at Property ID with his father Carlos Siderman from 1993 to 2007. I believe he meant 1995. Carlos Siderman fired his son when his son questioned certain business transactions and policies. After Carlos fired his son he defamed him. Sergio started his new business and Carlos tried to destroy it by defaming Sergio. Carlos went so far and so low as to send a defamatory flyer about Sergio's business to his clients. Sergio claims that Property ID made no profits in 2006 and 2007.

Sergio Siderman stated that Carlos Siderman lied when he said he is a lawyer. In actuality Carlos Siderman does not have a college or law degree. He most certainly never passed the bar. Sergio Siderman states that Carlos Siderman forged a law degree and hung it on his office wall. Carlos Siderman for many years at many public business events held himself out to be an attorney but he is not. (pdf https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B6QQek7gVUpyNDlJQU9zSVdpVk0/edit?usp=sharing )

While researching further it was uncovered that Carlos Siderman's business partner in 1995 was none other than Horatio Vignali whom the LAPD and DEA suspected of being a major drug lord for over 20 years.
http://www.laweekly.com/2005-05-26/news/la-s-underground-power-broker ) Horatio Vignali's son Carlos Vignali was a convited drug dealer who was ultimately pardoned by Clinton in what is now known as "pardongate." ( http://articles.latimes.com/2002/mar/26/news/mn-34745 )

Please, contact Ventura County Planning, the Coastal Commission, County of Ventura Compliance Division, Santa Monica Mountain Conservancy to express your displeasure at the bulldozing of a protected creek and protected oak trees in our sensitive coastal zone.

More information about this situation can be found here. Author is not related to this blog but found the materials in this blog. Author is only interested in the illegal destruction of protected creek and oak trees.

Lawsuits against Carlos Siderman, Property ID - Deer Creek Ranch Malibu

Through the course of litigation it is discovered that Carlos Siderman has been lying about when Property ID first originated. Carlos Siderman claimed he started it in 1974. He actually started it with a partner in 1995 over two decades later. That partner is later revealed to have been a suspected drug lord. If the DEA and LAPD knew his partner was a drug lord, I would assume Carlos Siderman knew as well.

Carlos Siderman, Property ID sued by his son Sergio Siderman for unfair and unlawful competition, defamation per se, trade libel, misappropriation of trade secrets, malicious prosecution, conversion, tortious interference with prospective economic advantage, false advertising.

Mirta Siderman Carlos Siderman's ex-wife writes a declaration against Carlos Siderman. In her declaration she states Carlos Siderman did not start Property ID in 1974 but in 1994. Corporation documents show it was started in 1995. Mirta Siderman states she was married to Carlos Sider from 1971 to 1994. He was involved in construction and steel doors before 1994. Carlos Siderman did not even arrive in the US until 1976.

In this same statement Carlos Siderman's son Sergio Siderman makes a statement. Sergio Siderman states he worked at Property ID with his father Carlos Siderman from 1993 to 2007. I believe he meant 1994. Carlos Siderman fired his son when his son questioned certain business transactions and policies. After Carlos fired his son he defamed him. Sergio started his new business and Carlos tried to destroy it by defaming Sergio. Carlos went so far and so low to send a defamatory flyer about Sergio's business to his clients. Sergio claims that Property ID made no profits in 2006 and 2007.

Sergio Siderman stated that Carlos Siderman lied when he said he is a lawyer. In actuality Carlos Siderman does not have a college or law degree. He most certainly never passed the bar. Sergio Siderman states that Carlos Siderman forged a law degree and hung it on his wall. Carlos Siderman for many years at many public business events held himself out to be an attorney but he is not.

Carlos Siderman, Property ID, not an attorney, no college degree
Carlos Siderman hired an attorney to find plaintiffs to file a frivolous and meritless class action lawsuits against all his competitors. That lawsuit was dismissed as frivolous but unfortunately all the competitors were forced out of business by the false charges. Carlos Siderman also falsely claimed they were the oldest property disclosure business. That is totally untrue.

When it was revealed that Property ID was started in 1994 and not 1976, Carlos Siderman corrected the falsity in Property ID's website. Very recently he has changed the origination date back to 1976. Below is an image of the page from today.
Carlos Siderman, Property ID lies about origination date. It is not 1976 but 1994.

Below is a copy of the true corporation ID number and origination date. Property ID was formed in 1994 not 1976.

Carlos Siderman's murky past, ex business associate Horacio Vignali, Property ID, Deer Creek Ranch Malibu

This article from 2005 shows that Property ID was formed in 1995 not 1976. It seems Carlos Siderman started Property ID with a fellow Argentinian Horacio Vignali. Horacio Vignali according to DEA documents was an "alleged underworld figure who boasted of trafficking in heroin." Horacio's son Carlos Vignali was a convicted drug dealer who was sentenced to prison. He appealed twice and lost both times.

Carlos Vignali Jr convicted drug dealer pardoned by President Clinton
His father Horacio used his wealth and connections in Los Angeles real estate to get his son pardoned in what was referred to as "pardongate" in 2001. Supposedly Horacio Vignali donated by Bob Hertzberg, Antonio Villaraigosa and Becerra. They in turned petitioned to Clinton to get Carlos Vignali pardoned. People were very upset that a major convicted drug dealer was pardoned. Even though no one wanted to have anything to do with Horacio, Carlos Siderman became his business partner. At that time it appears people knew that Horacio was most likely the drug lord supplying his son with drugs that he sold. From the article linked below,

"One former business partner of Vignali claims in court papers that he had a more unsettling experience. Carlos Siderman is the president of Property I.D., a land-research firm that investors use to evaluate industrial properties. Court records show that he and Vignali formed the company as a joint venture in 1995, and were co-owners of the building at 1001 Wilshire Boulevard until Vignali sold back his interest to Siderman in 2000. Court records also contain an account of a disturbing confrontation in 2000.

In a request for a restraining order filed on June 22, 2000, Siderman, a fellow Argentine, filed court declarations that during a business dispute in their conference room on June 21, 2000, Vignali became enraged and punched him in the ribs, forced him to the floor and threatened his life and that of his family. A month later, Siderman filed a civil complaint for damages. In court declarations in August 2000, he stated: “I declined to agree with Mr. Vignali regarding a specific business matter, at which point he became very agitated. He rose from his chair and began yelling profanities only inches from my face. He then proceeded to threaten my life and the lives and well-being of my family, yelling ‘I am going to kill you and your whole family. You don’t know who you are fucking with.’ I suggested that we end the meeting and consult our respective attorneys. Mr. Vignali responded by yelling, ‘I don’t need a lawyer. I’m going to solve it my way. I’ll just fucking kill you.’ ”

Siderman filed a preliminary complaint with the police and received emergency medical attention, court records show. Two of Siderman’s employees filed court declarations stating that they witnessed the elder Vignali standing over the fallen Siderman, fists clenched. They stated that the elder Vignali sometimes carried a gun. However, neither employee witnessed the alleged punch in the ribs or the alleged threats. Vignali filed court declarations stating that he suspected Siderman of bilking the company, and when he confronted him an argument ensued. Vignali stated that Siderman threw himself against the wall and feigned injury. He denied making any threats. Vignali also stated he has a license to carry a gun, which he does on rare occasions when he is carrying large amounts of cash related to his businesses. The elder Vignali then filed a counter-lawsuit for slander. The entire matter was settled out of court under a confidentiality agreement, according to attorneys for Siderman and Vignali. R. Jeffery Ward, an attorney for Vignali, says he believes Siderman filed a civil action to give him leverage in a pending business dispute. “It’s like a spouse anticipating divorce, usually the woman, who files a complaint that she’s been battered,” Ward says. Reached for comment, Siderman asked for a written request for an interview. He never responded to the request submitted by the Weekly.

Despite the falling out, Siderman and Vignali once had grand plans together. In 1994, before construction began for Staples Center, Siderman was pushing a plan to bring gambling to downtown Los Angeles, according to a story in the Times’ Sunday edition on September 11, 1994. The idea that the Convention Center needed a luxury hotel to attract more visitors was not new, yet the idea of a hotel-casino surfaced briefly before falling by the wayside. Public records indicate Vignali was president of a company called Convention Center Entertainment Complex. According to the Times story, he had hired Siderman, the president of City Midland Development Company, to lobby for changes in the law that would allow for a casino. Siderman proposed a three-phase project for a “mega-center of entertainment” on property owned by Vignali, the Times reported.

Experienced real estate developers and city officials now say the plan was never taken seriously. It encompassed 345,000 square feet of property bounded by Figueroa and Flower streets and Pico and Venice boulevards — some of which Horacio Vignali still owns. Then-councilmen Mike Hernandez and Richard Alatorre were in favor of the plan. Alatorre told the Times, “Gambling is a fact of life . . . People that want to gamble are going to gamble, so why not benefit from it?”

Carlos Siderman's business partner Horatio Vignali was considered to be a major drug dealer and most likely his son Carlos Vignali's supplier.

"Federal agents for more than 20 years suspected that a wealthy Los Angeles businessman, who recruited top Southern California law enforcement officials to persuade President Clinton to free his cocaine-dealing son, was involved in drug trafficking.

Horacio Vignali gained national attention last year as the dedicated father who successfully enlisted Los Angeles County Sheriff Lee Baca, former U.S. Atty. Alejandro Mayorkas and a host of elected officials in a longshot bid to win the early release of his son. Clinton eventually freed Carlos Vignali, who had served six years of a 15-year sentence for dealing kilos of cocaine.

A congressional inquiry into pardons and commutations granted by Clinton on his last day in office turned up confidential federal law enforcement reports containing unproven allegations that the elder Vignali also was in the cocaine business. One informant told the federal Drug Enforcement Administration that Vignali was his son's supplier."
