Gutt To permit the construction of an office building pursuant to S.9401 of the Huntington Beach Ordinance Code located on the southeast corner of Edinger and Waikiki Lane in an R-5, office professional district. Mr. Koebig, representing the applicant, was present. Minutes: H.B. Board of Zoning Adjustments Wednesday, March 13, 1974 Page 4 The Chairman informed the Board that the Environmental Review Board granted Exemption Declaration No. 74-2 February 13, 1974 with the following additional information: No environmental impact report has been prepared for this project. The Negative Declaration issued for the project was properly posted in the office of the City Clerk. Findings are based upon the initial study information submitted to the Environmental Review Board, as well as the applicant's intent to work with the BZA in resolving problems with the plot plan and the traffic engineer's concurrence on the location of the drive exiting onto Edinger Avenue from the project. The Chairman presented a letter from Mrs. Psaros which included a petition from neighbors to the Board why a 6 ft.'wall should exist to separate the office professional district from the residential district. She felt that due to the buildings directly south of,the proposed development have children passing through an alley, going to school, would create a hazard for those children. She further felt that a wall would isolate the business activity and as such, driving and parking would be away from the residential section, thus also alleviating a lot of noise. She further stated that one of the patios of her apartment building opens directly onto the alley which would also create a hazard. In summary, Mrs. Psaros felt that access to the professional building off of the alley would be dangerous. Mr. Koebig presented a revised plan to the Board showing an additional 10 ft. wide dedication area on the alley. Board discussed plans with applicant. The Chairman informed the Board that a plan check revealed the revised plans to be within ordinance code requirements. Additional dedication was discussed. A 4 ft. planter along the southerly portion of the property to preclude vehicular ingress and egress from the main parking area and the alley was discussed. It was noted that such a planter should have a 32" decorative masonry wall within the planter. Board discussion followed. Conditions of approval were discussed.
