Dale Dunn, Manager of the Huntington Beach Chamber of Commerce, addressed the Board and requested that the variance requests be referred to the Planning Commission for action and that modification of the ordinance regarding use of the 50 ft. setback be considered to allow greater flexibility.

Donald Harwood, Attorney, representing Groth Chevrolet, addressed the Board and asked various questions regarding the continuance.
