Hoffman To permit the division of one (1) parcel of land into two (2) separate parcels pursuant to Section 9921 of the Huntington Beach Ordinance Code, located on the north side of McFadden Avenue ap- proximately 400 feet east of Gothard Street in an Ml, Light Manu- facturing District. Frank Hoffman Jr. and Frank Hoffman III were present at the meet- ing and indicated their receipt of and concurrence with the suggested conditions of approval previously forwarded to them. Board review found the parcel map so inadequately dimensioned that it is impossible to locate property lines, fence locations, ease- ments, or building location on the property. The applicants were informed that it is necessary to bring this existing use into com- pliance with code requirements in effect at present when changes of this nature are proposed. A continuance was suggested and the applicants explained the time constraints placed on them by the terms of their escrow, agreeing to make any changes on the property which the city might require. After an unsuccessful attempt to locate the engineer who drew the parcel map, the applicants outlined for the Board the dimensions as they understood them, and requested a conditional approval of the map. After extensive discussion, it was the consensus that the approval could be granted subject to sub mittal of a correctly dimensioned map and approval of Administrative Review No. 77-170. Any reciprocal easements on the property will be outlined on the Administrative Review.
