Chairman Tindall introduced the application to the Board. Secretary Lipps briefly outlined the application stating that the applicant is required to establish a hardship in order for the Board to grant approval (i.e. being deprived of privileges enjoyed by other properties in the vicinity). Chairman Tindall opened the public hearing on Conditional Exception No. 80-25. Mrs. Gay Boyer was present to represent the application. Mrs. Boyer described the configuration of the home, stating that additional space was desired as her family was growing. Chairman Tindall questioned the applicant if other alternatives had been explored. He suggested that an addition of 9 feet in lieu of the requested 14 feet would seem more feasible. Mrs. Boyer stated that an addition of 9 feet would not be financially equitable nor would it make that much difference to the overall -interior, space -'of the home. Minutes: H.B. BOARD OF ZONING ADJUSTMENTS July 2, 1980 Page 2 Secretary Lipps noted that the lot is'unique in shape as the depth is short compared to adjacent lots. Also, the subject property backs to Newl Street and would not infringe upon other residential property. Fire Representative Hosmer stated that the addition would pose no problems from a fire standpoint. Chairman Tindall stated he was opposed to the request as there were several different options available with less of an impact on the property. ON MOTION BY LIPPS AND SECOND BY HOSMER, CONDITIONAL EXCEPTION NO. 80-25 WAS APPROVED WITH THE FOLLOWING FINDINGS, REASONS AND CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL BY THE FOLLOWING VOTE: FINDINGS: 1. The granting of a Conditional Exception will not constitute a grant of a special privilege inconsistent upon other properties in the vicinity and under an identical zone classification. 2. Because of special circumstances applicable to the subject property, including size, shape, topography, location, or surroundings, the strict application of the zoning ordinance is found to deprive the - subject property of privileges enjoyed by other properties in the vicinity and under identical zone classifications. 3. The granting of a Conditional Exception is necessary in order to preserve the enjoyment of one or more substantial property rights. 4. The granting of a Conditional Exception will not be materially detri- mental to the public welfare, or injurious to property in the same zone classification. S. The granting of the Conditional Exception will not adversely affect the General Plan of the City of Huntington Beach. REASONS: 1. The lot depth and configuration is such that it deprives the applicant of the property rights enjoyed by adjacent property owners. CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL: A.
