Board of Zoning Adjustments January 20, 1982 Page Two PLOT PLAN AMENDMENT NO. 81-6 Applicant: J. bon Hartfelder,' A.T.R. To permit an addition to a previously approved plan located at 4121 Warner Avenue, zoned,ROS--CFR - Community Facilities (Recreational) District - Recreational Open Space District. The Chairman informed the Board that this request is a Categorical Exemption,.Class. 1E, California Environmental Quality Act, 1970. Acting Secretary Webb outlined proposal and stated that an additional 720 square feet for office space is requested for the operation of the restaurant and banquet room plus two (2) storage areas for a total of 430 square feet of storage'area. The public hearing was_opened. Don Hartfelder spoke in support of-his,request.._ He said the main intent of this proposal is to split the first floor main clubhouse and banquet facility into-two'(2) buildings on the lower level which are presently connected thereby -allowing, by this redesign, direct access,to the pool and beach area. On the second floor, where the two (2) buildings will remain'aonnected, they wish to construct two .(2) offices and one (1) small secretarial space. In so doing, they will eliminate 360 square feet of space which'is now used for restaurant_ tables and a portion of'the bar on the first floor and adding,to the second floor 720 square feet of office space including the small secretarial space. The applicant was advised that his plan is shortone(1) parking, space which would have to be.provided. Mr. Hartfelder stated that this would be -'no problem. Although he is adding 720.square feet of floor space upstairs he will not be increasing"his'parking requirements because the square footage he is deleting downstairs required the same number of parking -spaces that the addition will require. Even though he is adding more square footage than he is deleting, his parking requirement remains the same because the proposed office space he is adding requires less parking per square foot than the restaurant bar area he is deleting. Mr. L.A. Cardenas introduced himself and gave his address as 17044 Edgewater Lane. He said he felt'the long storage area on the platform would obliterate the view from one or-two'tennis courts allowing recreational viewing to be affected. He also expressed concern over the fact that by adding 1,000 square footage to a facility you increase traffic and all activities in the area. Mr. Cardenas also stated that he had not.been notified. of"today's public hearing and that he had talked to his friend, Mr. Hubbard, President of the Weatherly Bay Hom Owners Association -adjacent to the club, and was told he also had not been notified by mail of today's.public hearing. The public hearing was closed. -2- BZA 1/20/82 Minutes: H.B.

Dean Stubblefield, owner of the -apartments next door, spoke in favor of Use Permit No. 81-48, however, he -felt after reviewing the site plan that the proposed -units should be reversed on the -property with drive approach'on the North side. He stated his existing structure has a five (5) 'foot sideyard setback with individual private patios surrounded by a six (6) foot wall along the.property line and that to have the open area shown on Mr. Chi's plan changed to the opposite side would allow more open space between apartments and less noise for his tenants. -3- BZA 1/20/82 Minutes: H.B.
