The Mayor announced that this was the day and hour set for a public hearing to
consider an appeal filed by K. A. Reynolds to the Planning Commission's denial
of Conditional Exception #85-93 to permit an addition to a single family resi-
dence which encroaches five feet into the required ten foot rear yard set-
back. Subject property is located on the north side of Leilani Drive, west of
Bushard Street (9421 Leilani Drive).
The Deputy City Clerk announced that all legal requirements for notification,
publication and posting had been met; Mayor Mandic stated that a letter dated
March 12, 1986 in opposition to the appeal was received from Lorelei Turner
adjacent property owner. 0
The Director of Development Services presented a staff report.
The Mayor declared the hearing open.
Ken Reynolds, appellant, presented viewgraphs showing the addition he wants to

There being no one present to speak further on the matter and there being no

A motion was made by Kelly , seconded by Thomas, to overrule the Planning Com-
mission and grant the appeal to Conditional Exception No. 85-93 based on find-
ings set forth in an RCA dated March 17, 1986. The motion failed by the fol-
lowing roll call vote:
AYFS: Kelly, Thomas
NOES: MacAllister, Finley, Mandic, Bailey, Green
ABSENT: None
A motion was made by Green, seconded by Bailey, to uphold the Planning Commis-
sion action and deny the appeal to Conditional Exception No. 85-93, with find-
ings as set forth in the RCA dated March 17, 1986 as follows:
Page 3 - Council Minutes - 3/17/86
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 or premises involved which do not apply generally to property
of class of uses in the same district. The parcel is similar in size and
shape with other parcels in the subdivision and is relatively flat.
2. Exceptional circumstances do not apply that deprive the subject property
of privileges enjoyed by other properties in the same zone classification
because it is a typical 60 by 100 foot R1 zoned lot.
3. Since the subject property can be fully developed within regular esta-
blished setbacks, such a conditional exception is not necessary for the
preservation and enjoyment of substantial property rights.
4. Granting of Conditional Exception No. 85-93 would constitute a grant of
special privilege inconsistent with limitations upon properties in the
vicinity.
5. Conditional Exception No. 81-49 was approved by the Planning Commission
in 1982 and is still effective which and permits an addition to encroach
2 feet into the required 10 foot setback.
The motion carried by the following roll call vote:
AYES: MacAllister, Finley, Mandic, Bailey, Green
NOES: Thomas, Kelly
ABSENT: None

consider realignment of Gothard Street south of McFadden Avenue. The proposed

imately 250 feet and align that portion of Gothard Street, south of McFadden
Avenue. to Center Drive.
The Deputy City Clerk announced that all legal requirements for notification,
publication and posting had been met, and that she had received no communica-
tions or written protests to the matter.

would abstain from discussion or voting on the issue.

Page 4 - Council Minutes - 3/17/86
The Mayor declared the hearing open.
Stephen Chase, attorney representing Southern Pacific Transportation Company,
stated that they had no plans to abandon the rail line involved in the pro-
ject. He stated that the railroad has a pending lease that has been consider-
ably delayed and suggested that if the Council approved the realignment of
Gothard Street the City should be prepared to purchase the property immedi-
ately.
Orrin Burge addressed Council and explained he wanted to build a mini -ware-
house in the area and was opposed to the realignment of Gothard Street.. He
questioned information the City had received and the cost effectiveness of the
project.
Ron Pattinson, representing the Pacific Coast Corporation which has the lease-
hold interest on the property in question with the railroad, stated that a
1984 study of Huntington Center and the realignment of Gothard Street indi-
cated that such realignment was feasible only if the railroad line was
removed. He stated he did not believe the realignment would be cost effective.
Bob Getzfrid, a resident of Westminster,. said he lived on the first street
north o Gothard Street, and was concerned about traffic coming from Vermont
Street and the loss of the traffic light at Vermont Street if Gothard'is
realigned. He was also concerned about future truck traffic on Gothard
Street. He suggested that his tract be annexed into the City of Huntington
Beach.
There being no one present to speak further on the matter and there being no
further protests filed, either oral or written, the hearing was closed by the
Mayor.

the purpose of the noticed hearing was to allow those owners of land in the

most compatible with the greatest public good and the least private

ington Beach Company's title to be turned over to the developer, regardless of
testimony presented at the public hearing. He described a court of appeals
