PROPOSED 1977-78 FY BUDGET - DISCUSSION
Assistant City Administrator Richard Harlow, commented on the budget in general
and presented viewgraphs showing various line items. He explained budget comparisons
and informed Council of the 8.297. increase in the total budget over the 1976-77
budget. Discussion was held with Council concerning a 1.3 million dollar Reserve
Account and a k million dollar Contingency Account.
Further discussion was held regarding the Continued Funding Level and priorities
in the Work Funding Level. Councilman Siebert suggested the addition of Work Load
priorities for Police, Civic Promotion and Administration, listed in the preliminary
budget as Nos. 159, 160, 169, 170, 187 and 200, and eliminating all other programs
below No. 158.
Councilman Coen suggested deferring added police personnel until an audit is made.
Mayor Pattinson commented on his reasons for agreeing with Councilman Siebert, as
did Shenkman, Wieder and Bartlett.
Councilman Coen discussed the ramifications of the Ocean View High School pool
funding. Glen Dysinger, representing Huntington Beach Union High School District,
stated that the costs would be less if a conventional pool were built, but the
High School Districts financial constraints were as such, that they could only
contribute $50 to $70 thousand dollars under a possible Joint Powers agreement.
The consensus of the Council was not to consider the pool at this time.
Councilman Pattinson suggested that priority programs Nos. 206, 208 and 214 relative
to needs in the Lifeguard and Fire Department be considered. Discussion was held
on this matter, but no action was taken.

Funding Levels below 158, and approved Workload Funding Levels Nos. 159, 160, 169, 170,

PUBLIC HEARING - APPEAL TO DENIAL OF CE 77-18 AND AR 77-66 - APPEAL DENIED
Mayor Pattinson announced that this was the day and hour set for a public hearing
to consider an appeal filed by L. D. Zehnder to the denial by the Planning Commis-
sion of Conditional Exception No. 77-18/Administrative Review No. 77-66, which are
requests to permit the construction of a 3 unit apartment building which exceeds
the permissible site coverage by 500 square feet, or 17%, and which also exceeds the
allowable building square footage by 1100 square feet or 30%. The subject property
is located on the east side of 15th Street, approximately 50 feet north of Walnut
Avenue in the Townlot Specific Plan Area One, Section B.
The City Clerk informed Council that all legal requirements for notification,
publication and posting had been met and that in addition to the letter of appeal,
she had received a letter from Mr. Leonard Wright, opposing the granting of the
appeal.
The Planning Director stated that there were a number of situations similar to that
under discussion which, in his opinion, should be dealt with by ordinance. He
stated that there were some 35 to 38 instances of the same nature in the Townlot
Specific Plan Area.
Mayor Pattinson declared the hearing open.
L. D. Zehnder, resident and appellant, addressed Council and stated that it was
his intention (should the appeal be granted) to increase the living area by some
20%, pointing out that his particular lot is 2M greater than the standard 50 foot
lot. He further stated that in his opinion the present code requirements did not
constitute good 'land use' or 'good planning', since tax, drainage fees, etc, are
based on lot size. It was his suggestion, therefore, that Council consider a change
or revision of the present code to permit greater variance in housing development.
There being no one further to speak on the matter, and there being no further
protests filed, either oral or written, the hearing was closed by the Mayor.
Councilwoman Wieder stated that she believed the Planning Department to be
supportive of Mr. Zehnder's point of view in their Summary Analysis; that the
ordinance is restrictive, and would like to encourage staff to revise it in order
to give more freedom, diversity, and flexibility.
Mayor Pattinson concurred with Mr. Zehnder's point of view with regard to
allowance of greater variance.
Councilman Shenkman stated that in his opinion, the long range of granting
conditional exceptions would have repercussions, causing greater density in the
City and reducing common 'open space'.
Councilman Coen stated that he was not opposed to the preparation of an ordinance
which would be more accommodating.
Page #5 - Council Minutes - 6/20/77
Councilman Siebert stated that he was in favor of sustaining the Planning Commission
and was concerned that a precedent of overruling the Planning Commission be avoided.
However, he was not opposed to staff making a revision of the area in question.
Councilman Bartlett stated that he was in favor of the matter being referred back
to the Planning Department and a new ordinance being prepared in this instance.
Mr. Zehnder stated his concern that a new ordinance would not prove beneficial to
him since time was of the essence.
Councilwoman Wieder inquired as to the length of time the present ordinance had been
in effect and it was established as being in effect some 18 months. She stated her
concern that if in this instance the ordinance was inadequate, that hardship would
result and in her opinion, the proposed revision of the code should be applied.
On motion by Coen, second Siebert, Council sustained the Planning Commission and
denied the appeal of Conditional Exception 77-18 and Administrative Review 77-66,
by the following roll call vote:
AYES: Bartlett, Coen, Siebert, Shenkman
NOES: Wieder, Pattinson
