Craig Watson spoke of alleged violations of Conditions of Approval for
Conditional Use Permit for Garfield's Nite Spot. He stated that
bottles were being thrown over the fence, parties taking place in
vehicles, and residential streets were being used for parking. He was
wondering why the Planning Commission allowed this type of
establishment to go into a R3 area. Glen Godfrey stated that staff
was aware of the complaints and an investigaton was underway. He
stated that the County has been requested to monitor the noise and the
owner of the Nite Club has been advised to adhere to the Conditions of
Approval. He recommended that staff continue to monitor the club and
bring back a report at the next meeting.
Commissioner Higgins recommended enforcing the conditions of approval
if they were infact allowing 250 people instead of the allowed 35 to
45 people. Mr. Godfrey stated that people were waiting outside to get
in and this was the main cause of the problem. Chairman Livengood
requested the attorney's office report back to the Planning Commission
as to what can legally be done to enforce the Conditional Use Permit.
He instructed staff to review the conditions and report back.

CONDITIONAL EXCEPTION NO. 84-37 (APPEAL)
Applicant: James R. Slatton, Sr.
Appellant: John Erskine
A request to permit a 70 inch high electric control vehicular gate
and pedestrian gate at the front property line encroaching 15 feet
into the required 15 foot front setback. This application was
denied by the Board of Zoning Adjustments on July 18, 1984.
Mike Adams made staff presentation and recommended upholding the
Board of Zoning Adjustment's denial. Glen Godfrey noted that the
issue of on -coming traffic was discussed at the BZA meeting where
the majority of the members agreed that this was not a serious
concern.
The public hearing was opened. Bill Hartge, Civil Engineer, made
his presentation. He requested that the Planning Commission
reconsider based on the following points: The BZA vote was three to
two, the fence will not obstruct neighbors vision while backing out
of driveway, will act as a barrier to on -coming traffic, and would
provide added security in preventing possible burglary. Bob Slatton,
owner of the

property stated that the main idea of the fence was to provide added
security and act as a barrier from on -coming vehicles. He further
stated that the request is for permission to build a gate 28" higher
than code. Barbara Steinburg, who lives adjacent to the subject
property spoke in favor of the project and requested the Planning
Commission's approval. The public hearing was closed.
Commissioner Higgins stated that he was not opposed to granting this
request but recommended staff to make a code amendment for this type
of open fencing. Commission Schumacher stated concern over
increased accidents with this type of gate with vehicles waiting in
the street for the gate to open. Secretary Palin stated that there
is nothing in code that addresses a gate being at property line less
than 42", however, this is more than a gate.
ON MOTION BY ERSKINE AND SECOND BY HIGGINS CONDITIONAL EXCEPTION NO.
84-37 WAS APPROVED OVERTURNING THE BZA DENIAL WITH FINDINGS AND
CONDITIONS, BY THE FOLLOWING VOTE:
FINDINGS FOR APPROVAL:
1. Subject property is located within a tract abutting a harbor
channel: the Coastal Commission required these properties to
have a public walkway installed along the rear 8' of each
property.
2. Because of the location of the property at Walrus and Venture,
the property is subject to impact of traffic from Walrus Lane
and that the fence would act as an additional barrier to that
traffic.
3. The granting of the Conditional Exception will not constitute a
grant of a special privilege inconsistent upon other properties
in the vicinity and under identical zone classifications as
there are other homes in the area that have either a structure
or wall within a ten (10) foot front yard setback.
4. The granting of a conditional exception is necessary in order to
preserve the enjoyment of one or more substantial property
rights.
5. The granting of a conditional exception will not be materially
detrimental to the public welfare, or injurious to property in
