There should also be a five foot (51) setback from this -2- 11/28/84 - BZA Minutes, H. B. Board of Zoning Adjustments November 28, 1984 Page 3 view corridor and, because of that, this application needs to be readvertised. The person who owned that property negotiated with Mr. Armstrong and the City of Huntington Beach. There are people present here today who were not aware of that document. The view corridor was changed from the recorded map and not shown on our maps. With the fact that they have a vested interest in this easement and were not notified, the City has an obligation to readvertise. Staff stated this was the original view corridor which was approved by the Planning Commission but, in 1977, it was changed. Glen Godfrey asked if the City had been a party to the change and Ms. Pierce stated the City has a quit claim deed to the property from Mr. Armstrong. Daryl Smith suggested it might be appropriate for the Board to continue this action until problems could be resolved and other property owners notified. The Public Hearing was opened by Mr. Smith and the applicant, Mrs. Frank (Rita) Hill, was present. She explained they had already gone through escrow on the property and nothing to this effect had been discovered by the escrow or title companies. Felicia Cossell, Attorney, was present to represent other property owners, Carolyn Young and Bill Wen. Ms. Cossell said she would request a continuance but Mrs. Hill stated she would like to hear the Attorney's statements. Another property owner, Phil Halpin, spoke to the Board against the variance, after which the Public Hearing was closed.
