Planning Commission February 17, 1970 Page 3 The Assistant Planning Director made a presentation of all parcels in question. Mr. Harlow stated that the location of the proposed Handyman store has been rearranged so their parcel takes all the frontage on Brookhurst St. with a minimum amount of frontage on Adams Ave. It was suggested by the staff that Division of Land No. 69-43 could contain a requirement that Parcel #2 not be used for resi- dential purposes and that future construction shall be architec- turally compatible with other building on the corner. It was also suggested that the plot plan pertaining to Handyman store be submitted to the Board of Zoning Adjustments for conditions and final approval. James DeChaine, Assistant City Manager, Newport Beach, stated that he was in favor of having as a condition of approval a provision that architectural con- trol on the proposed and future developments be required to insure continuity.

Philip Anshutz, Coldwell Banker Company, stated that the planning staff has control over the architectural design. COMMISSIONER BAZIL: Commissioner Bazil excused himself from further participation at 7:55 P.M. Jack Shea, representing Beacon Bay Company, stated that the car wash structure would cost approximately $250,000 and that he will present plans for approval when ready for construction of the proposed restau- rant. Edward Kerins, representing the Meredith Gardens Homeowners Assoc., opposed the overall develop- ment on the grounds that traffic circulation will be increased tremendously and there are too many curb cuts. Mr. Kerins requested that the overall plan be denied, as the car wash was not a community business.
