FINDINGS OF FACT - ADOPTED - APPEAL TO DENIAL OF CE #80-29 - HEARING CLOSED AND
APPEAL DENIED / 7/8
The Acting City Administrator informed Council that they had been provided with a
communication from the City Attorney regarding the denial of Conditional Exception
80-29 (Webb Morrow).
Councilwoman Finley requested that the Findings of Fact be amended as follows:
change the words "...on the largest house, 8,400 square feet, on the largest
lot..." to read,"...on one of the largest houses, 7,596 square feet, on one of
the largest lots
A motion was made by Mandic, seconded by Finley, to adopt the amended Findings of
Fact as stated in the City Attorney's memorandum dated February 26, 1981.
Discussion was held regarding the possibility of a split vote as not all Council -
members were present. Councilman Mandic withdrew the motion; Councilwoman Finley
withdrew her second to the motion.
Following further discussion, a motion was made by Mandic, seconded by Finley,
to adopt the following Findings of Fact:
1. There are no exceptional or extraordinary circumstances or conditions
applicable to the land, buildings, or premises involved, that do not
apply generally -to the property in the same district, in that there
are other property owners with custom built houses, on the same street,
with lots smaller.than applicant's lot., and all have legally developed
their property without the granting of conditional exceptions; that the
applicant's hardship, if one exists, is self-imposed and is caused by
the applicant's architectural design in developing his property; that
the size, shape and topography of applicant's lot is not unique or
substantially different from other lots in the neighborhood.
Page #6 - Council Minutes - 3/2/81
2. The conditional exception applied for in this case Is not neces-
sary for the preservation and enjoyment of applicant's substan-
tial property rights, in that a self-imposed architectural design
on one of the largest houses, 7,596 square feet, on one of the lar-
gest lots in Trinidad Island, is not a substantial property right
to be preserved and enjoyed by building a six-foot wall which en-
croaches three feet eight inches into the code -required fifteen -
foot front yard setback, where other property owners, similarly
situated, in the same -neighborhood, do not enjoy such rights.
3. The granting of such conditional exception would be materially
detrimental to public health, safety and welfare or injurious
to the conforming land, property, or improvements in the neighbor-
hood of the property for which such conditional exception is
sought, in that there is testimony evidence by property owners
in the same street that such wall would be materially detrimental
to their welfare and to the welfare of most of the people who
live in the cul-de-sac.
4. The City Council hereby incorporates, and attaches hereto, the
city's staff report in support of its findings herein (dated August
19, 1980).
5. The City Council is unable to make findings in support of and
relevant to the hardship standard, relative to the property, in
accordance with S. 9833 of the Huntington Beach Ordinance Code.
The motion carried by the following roll call vote;
AYES: Finley, Bailey, Mandic
NOES: Thomas, MacAllister
ABSTAIN: Pattinson
