Dave Eadie gave a brief history of the background of the Specific
Plan for Area One, noting the changes which had been made as a
result of direction from the Commission at their April 22, 1975
Study Session. He read a letter of opposition which had been re-
ceived from an attorney representing an owner of property in this
area.
Chairman Pro Tempore Higgins opened the public hearing.
Robert Jarrard, representing the Huntington Beach Landowners
Association, spoke in opposition to the landscaping requirements.
He felt that only parkway trees and sprinkler systems should be
mandated.
Robert Crorle stated that he felt a legal problem could be con-
stituted by the downzoning in the area, and expressed opposition
to the plan.
Ralph Hupha expressed his pleasure in the proposal, stating that
he felt the reduction of density in this area would create a better
living environment.
Dave Kirchner stated that he felt that any planning for this area
should be done in conjunction with VTN. .

He was advised by Ed Selich that the VTN is a separate issue
from Area I plan, and stated further that the VTN plan is
taking into consideration the Townlot area and surrounding areas.
Fred Kirkpatrick stated that he felt the density is controlled
at the present time without changing the zoning to R1 and
questioned the premise whether people would want to build
single family dwellings next to existing apartments.
Theresa Reilly approved of the downzoning and cited examples
of fourplex and sixplex apartments which are not kept up
and the noise created by them. She felt that a better living
environment would result with the proposed Specific Plan for
Area One.
Arthur Rufe stated that he had bought property in the area
with the intention of developing it within the R4 code re-
quirements and under the proposed plan he would be unable to
develop his property. He felt that monies should be budgeted
to compensate property owners whose properties would be down -
zoned. He concurred with Robert Crorle on the legal aspects
which might result.
Robert Stanko spoke in favor of the plan, stating that he
felt the value of single family homes would decrease if more
apartments were allowed in the area.
D. Galitz requested clarification on nonconforming uses.
He was advised by Deputy City Attorney John O'Connor that
a nonconforming use can continue to exist so long as it is
maintained in a safe condition.
Sally Gipple stated that she was very much in favor of the
development standards as outlined in the Specific Plan for
Area One.
Richard Tracy spoke in opposition to the plan, stating that
he had bought his property with the idea of building a rental
unit over the garage and he felt that he was being penalized
by the proposed change of zone.
Mel Hoeffliger, L. Jacot and Gordon Lewis were in favor of the
proposal and commended the staff and Commission for the work
they have done on the Townlot Specific Plan for Area One,
stating that the entire value of the area will be enhanced by
this type of program.

jection to noise created by apartments.

include a requirement for a tree in the parkway, only when such
does not already exist.

Tentative Map No. 8821 was originally before the Planning
Commission at the April 1, 1975 meeting at which time the
Planning Commission discussed cut and fill operations, problems

averaging. Action was continued to allow the developer time
to revise the layout.
Jim Palin discussed the amended conditions of approval and
noted that a new map was on display for viewing by Commission.

Element of the General Plan has it designated for Low Density
Residential use.
Clark Leonard, representing the owner and developer addressed
the Commission and indicated his agreement with suggested

by the Planning'Commission. '
