COMMUNICATION: ORANGE COUNTY PLANNING COMMISSION
The Secretary read a communication submitted by the
Orange County Planning Commission regarding Use Variance No. 5681,
which would allow the construction of a duplex having less than the
required number of open off-street parking spaces and with the covered
garage having less than the required depth on a parcel containing
less than the required area in the R-4 Suburban Residential District.
The Commission reviewed the request and it was their
unanimous recommendation that this variance be denied because the
project will result in excessive lot coverage and inadequate off-street
parking.

Council should adopt a resolution and send a delegate to Sacramento

recommend to the City Council that a resolution be adopted and sent
to the State Highway Commission asking them to consider removal of

COMMUNICATION: The Secretary read a letter submitted by Doyle
Development Company pertaining to the Standard
Conditions of Approval for Tentative Tract maps . which requires retaining
walls to be provided where there is a difference in elevation of one
foot between adjoining lots abutting city. righ t-of-way. It stated that
this condition is in conflict with the City's grading ordinance which
allows property to be graded to a specified slope in lieu of constructing
a retainin.; wall.
In view of this, the company requested that
they be relieved of this requirement for all -tracts they have recorded
during 1965.
Assistant Building Director, Samuel Ferguson,
stated that where property has been graded in accordance with the
grading ordinance, the Building Department has not xe qui red a retaining
wall and that there are instances where the wall would create problems.
Richard Harlow, Associate Planner, stated that
this condition was placed on the list of,Standard Conditions of Approval
f or Tentative Tract Maps several years ago because the city did not
have a grading ordinance in effect and this condition put the Building
Department in a better position to require proper grading of lots.
