Applicant: Valley Consultants, Inc., for Jack Santiago
Appellant: Ron Winterburn for Valley Consultants, Inc.
This is a request to permit a five foot encroachment into the required
ten foot front yard setback for property located on the west side
of Delaware Street, approximately 27 feet north of Elmira Avenue.
John Cope presented aerial slides of the structure and reviewed the
staff report. He indicated that this application had been denied
by the Board of Zoning Adjustments at its December 1, 1976 meeting.
Dennis Harwood, attorney representing the applicant, addressed the
Commission and stated that he felt that an honest mistake had been
made by the applicant when the property was surveyed.
Ron Winterburn addressed the Commission and stated that the survey
was done in May of 1975, and further discussed the needs for a variance.
It was noted that the applicant had actually brought the error in the
survey to the attention of the City when he went to pour cement in
the rear yard.

and spoke in opposition to the granting of the variance, stating that
it was in direct violation of the Huntington Beach Ordinance Code.

be granted the same right. He stated that it cut down on the view
from his property.
The public hearing was closed.
