To permit waiver of a requirement for a recorded maintenance ease- ment between two abutting single-family dwellings located'on the east side of 14th Street approximately 100 feet south of Pecan Avenue in the Townlot Specific Plan Area One, Section A. This request is a Categorical Exemption, Class V, California Envir- onmental Quality Act, 1970. Chairman Eadie opened the public hearing. Robert F. Garrett, owner of subject property, was present to represent the application, ex- plaining that his neighbor is willing to allow access but will not agree to a recorded easement for that purpose. There being no other persons to address the Board in regard to this matter, the public hearing was closed. The Board reviewed the proposal with the applicant, outlining the necessary findings of hardship upon which any approval must be based and considering alternative ways of siting the buildings on the lot to eliminate the need for a maintenance easement. ON MOTION BY EADIE AND SECOND BY CROSBY CONDITIONAL EXCEPTION NO. 77-67 WAS DENIED FOR THE FOLLOWING REASONS, BY THE FOLLOWING VOTE: REASONS FOR DENIAL: 1. The applicant has failed to demonstrate sufficient hardship to justify granting of the conditional exception, as alternate lay- outs are available to permit construction of the dwellings on the site. 2. Granting of the conditional exception would constitute granting of special privilege. 3. Granting of the request could mandate trespass on adjacent prop- erties whenever maintenance became necessary.
