BOARD MEMBERS PRESENT: Godfrey, Smith, Evans, Poe STAFF MEMBER PRESENT: Pierce MINUTES: ON MOTION BY EVANS AND SECOND BY SMITH, THE MINUTES OF THE REGULAR MEETING OF APRIL 4, 1984 WERE APPROVED AS TRANS- CRIBED BY THE FOLLOWING VOTE: AYES: Godfrey, Smith, Evans NOES: None ABSTAIN: Poe REGULAR AGENDA ITEMS: CONDITIONAL EXCEPTION NO. 84-18 Applicant: Mr. John Thomson, A.I.A. To permit a setback of 1819"'from property line to garage door versus 22'. Subject property is located at 17012 Marina Bay Drive. Chairman Smith introduced the applicant's request and stated that this proposal is categorically exempt, Class. 5, under the California Environmental Quality Act of 1970. Staff informed the Board that this particular piece of property was previously developed with a single-family dwelling allowing for a side entry garage. The applicant is proposing to relocate his garage to the southwest corner of his property, with an addition above the proposed garage, encroaching 3+ feet into the sideyard setback. He intends to convert his existing garage into habitable floor space. Upon analyzation by staff, it was felt that,., -although the lot is basically rectangular in shape, the property could be developed in compliance with the Zoning Ordinance. Staff has three main concerns: 1) future use of the property and 2) the fact that by redesign, the fireplace could be moved eliminating the requested encroachment and 3) cars parked on driveway may extend into/onto public right-of-way. Minutes: H.B. Board of Zoning Adjustments May 2, 1984 Page Two The public hearing was opened by Chairman Smith. Mr. John Thomson, A.I.A. for the project, addressed the Board. He stated that this particular neighborhood,in Coral Cay,does not warrant a rental unit. He cited where adjacent neighbors and others in the local vicinity have relocated their garage - some at 17' from the front property line. Mr. Thomson was informed that parity is not considered hardship. He referred the Board to the site plan submitted and informed them that the layout of the applicant's home was not as originally approved with the garage entry at twenty-two (22) ft. and that, had it been constructed as approved, there would be no need for a variance request. He mentioned that the Coral Cay Architectural Board had approved their request. Alternative locations for the fireplace were discussed. There being no one else present wishing to speak in favor or opposition of the applicant's request, the public hearing was closed. It was the consensus of all of the Board Members that by redesign, the applicant could enjoy the same privileges enjoyed by other properties in the same vicinity eliminating justification for approval of the requested variance. ON MOTION BY SMITH AND SECOND BY EVANS, CONDITIONAL EXCEPTION NO. 84-18 WAS DENIED, WITH FINDINGS FOR DENIAL AND VOTE FOLLOWING: FINDINGS FOR DENIAL: 1. -Because of the size, configuration, shape and lack of unique topographic features of the subject property, there does not appear to be exceptional or extraordinary circumstances or conditions applicable to the land, buildings of premises involved that does not apply generally to property or class of uses in the same district. 2. Since the subject property can be fully developed within regular established setbacks, such a conditional exception is not necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of substantial property rights. AYES: Godfrey, Smith, Evans, Poe NOES: None ABSTAIN: None CONDITIONAL EXCEPTION NO. 84-20 and USE PERMIT NO. 84-23 and TENTATIVE PARCEL MAP NO. 84-574(W) Applicant: Charles H. Bol,lma.n -2- BZA 5/2/84 Minutes: H.B. Board of Zoning Adjustments May 2, 1984 Page Three C.E. Request - To permit an existing single -garage to satisfy parking requirement. U.P. Request - To permit an addition to single-family dwelling with nonconforming yards (single -car garage with street access) T.P.M. No. 84-574(W) - To permit consolidation of two lots by parcel map waiver. Subject property is located in the Townlot Specific Plan area - 308 Tenth Street.. Staff informed the Board Members that the applicant wishes to continue use of his single -car garage taking access from a street entry whereas the Zoning Code for the Townlot Specific Plan Area states that access to a garage shall be made from an alley. Additionally, a single -car garage is being proposed in lieu of a double -car garage required by Code. The applicant's property is unique as it's encumbered in the rear by an oil facility prohibiting the applicant from taking access from the alley. The applicant is proposing a second -story addition over his existing dwelling considered to be nonconforming due to parking and access into a single -car garage. The public hearing was opened by Chairman Smith. Mr. Bollman addressed the Board and stated that,hopefully, in three to five years the oil facility will be removed at which time a two -car garage will be constructed with alley access. He stated his unwilling- ness to provide a minimum area for two enclosed parking spaces which could be arranged in tandem provided a second exit is equipped for utilization when property is freed from encumbrances. He felt this to be an unreasonable request as he owns the duplex next door and may park one of his cars on the adjacent drive apron. Many concerns were discussed with the applicant: 1) the existing Fire/Oil Code states that an eight (8) ft. wall must separate the dwelling from the oil encumbrance in lieu of existing four (4) ft. wall, 2) direct exposure of second -story to heat generated from oil facility felt to be a fire hazard and 3) the fact that the applicant is doubling the size of his dwelling felt to encourage a less than ultimate use for the next twenty years instead of recycling when the oil lease expires contributing to the deterioration of the neighborhood. The public hearing was closed. Findings for denial were discussed. ON MOTION BY EVANS AND SECOND BY POE, CONDITIONAL EXCEPTION NO. 84-20 WAS DENIED WITH FINDINGS FOR DENIAL AND VOTE FOLLOWING: FINDINGS FOR DENIAL - C.E. No. 84-20 1. The applicant is unwilling to provide Code requirement for enclosed parking. 2.

Request - To permit a second floor addition to a single-family dwelling with nonconforming yards. T.P.M. Request - To permit con- solidation of two lots into one and waiver of parcel map. Staff informed the Board that the applicant's dwelling was constructed across a property line of which waiver df;)Parcel Map No. 84-576(W) will eliminate if approved. The applicant is proposing an addition to his single-family dwelling which is nonconforming as covered parking is not provided for two vehicles and access is taken from the street rather than from an alley (property located in the Townlot Specific Plan Area). Planning staff feels the property is large enough to accommodate parking at the rear of the property allowing access from alley. If approved, a condition should be imposed that the front drive and curb -cut be eliminated. The public hearing was opened by Chairman Smith. Mr. Paul Alford introduced himself to the Board. He stated that at the present time his existing home is an eye -sore requiring upgrading including the roof. He stated that at the moment is was not economically feasible for him to construct a two -car garage. The permit process, with six (6) month concurrent inspections, was explained to the applicant. Mr. Alford felt he could start construction of a two -car garage within six (6) months after his addition was completed keeping the permit process alive. The public hearing was closed. -5- BZA 5/2/84 Minutes: H.B.

Request - To permit a seasonal parking lot in excess of two (2) consecutive seasons. A.R. Request - To permit a seasonal parking lot.

The applicant has once again exercised his option to renew the lease covering the 1.7 acre rectangular parcel of land in front of the generating station owned by Southern California Edison. The applicant, Mr. Overby, was present and was informed of Ordinance No. 2691 presently being enacted allowing a maximum of five (5) successive summer seasons, in lieu of two (2), subject to annual approval of an Administrative Review application by the Board of Zoning Adjustments.

The revised plan depicted a curve in the landscaping, in lieu of a ten (10) percent corner cutoff of the building,as required by Code, felt to create more of a traffic conflict for the drive -up. A condition for approval of Use Permit No. 82-40, covering the existing shopping center adjacent to the subject site was that they would agree to participate in a future circulation agreement with the developer of the subject site for ingress and egress. The revised plan does not reflect this particular condition.

Mr. Herand M. der Sarkissian, A.I.A. for the project and Vice -President of California Federal,introduced himself and asked that the Board act favorably on their project. As the corner cutoff was not felt to be a problem, Mr. Sarkissian requested that the Board impose conditions covering their concerns which would allow them to proceed with their building as their problem, logistically, is time.
