C. A. Com- for var-munications, Inc., property lying Easterly of Huntington iance. Beach, fronting on Bushard Street. We agree to fill and develop said land to make it useful for residential or industrial pur- poses. Our agreement binds us whereby we fill the land and let it aerate and dry before we put in additional fillings on the land. We are asking a variance, in order that we may have the priv- ilege of filling and developing this property. It is very Important and necessary to get action on this variance as quickly as possible, owing to time and conditions specified in our agreement with the R.C. A. Communications, Inc., and also for fear of early heavy rains." Chairman Schryer informed Mr. Talbert that in accord- ance with the contents of his letter it would not come within the scope of the Planning Commission to pass on'the request for a variance as it was not filed in its proper form upon which a public hearing would have t6 be set in order that the Planning Commission could hear it, and further that the letter referred to merely filling and developing land which, in his belief, did not require a permit or special permit from the City Council for -such purposes, provided it wasn't rotary mud -or of some nature of -fill that would require special consideration, and it wasn't in the province of the Planning -Commission to pass upon such request without having gone through the proper pro- cedure for public hearing. Richard R'. Workman, of the firm of Tibbetts and Workman, appeared before the Planning Commission -in regard to -the matter read by the Chairman and stated that his firm had leased the 83 acres of land owned by R. C. A. Communications, Inc., located in the flats in Huntington Beach, under an agreement to fill and develop the land to make it usable for residential purposes, and the process would be dumping of rotary mud diked in by beds and filled in to a depth of'9 to 10 inches and then each bed to dry for one year and then to continue the process until the land was filled, and that his firm is in the vacuum tank truck business and also J.ave purchased the Schlager vacuum truck business -in Huntington Beach. Attorney -at -law Ray H. Overacker appeared before -the City Planning Commission and stated he has a dlient that will be filing a petition for conditional exception to operate a molding and assembly plastic operation in the building located at 214 - Fifth Street, which is presently being used for storage of second hand cars, and merely wished to advise the Commis- sioners of the nature of the variance that will be filed.
