The Staff member, Laura Phillips, stated this was a request to
construct an addition;tbo_,both the First and Second Floors of a two
(2) story existing residence on the channel. The 1.3 percent excess
site coverage would constitute an area of approximately seventy (70)
Square Feet. The project is located in the Coastal Zone and
requires a Coastal Development Permit because the overall addition
would be in excess of ten percent (10%) of the existing structure.
The adjacent property owners were notified and no written response
was received in objection to the request. Staff added the proposed
project conforms with Code requirements with the exception of the
site coverage and Staff recommended approval with conditions. Staff
noted the suggested conditions but the Board members had no
questions.
The Public Hearing was opened by Chairman Dennis Krejci. Steven
Cruz, the applicant, was present and stated he was the consulting
engineer for the addition. Mr. Cruz added that the property owner,
Norma Cowles, was also present, and Ms. Cowles identified herself.
An adjacent property owner, Dr. Herman Stevenson, stated he had not
responded in writing but was present to learn exactly what was being
proposed. Dr. Stevenson said he wanted to be sure his water view
would not be blocked by the two-story construction being proposed.
The Board members invited Dr. Stevenson to look at the plans, which
he did. However, since Mr. Cruz could not assure him the water view
would not be blocked, Dr. Stevenson requested a set of plans from
the engineer so that his Father, an architect, could check it out.
Mr. Cruz assured Dr. Stevenson he could have a set of plans for his
use, and Dr. Stevenson replied he would have no objections to the
project if his view corridor was protected.
Michael Strange inquired as to whether or not the applicant was
maintaining the five foot (51) setback and Ms. Phillips said he was.
There was no one else present wishing to speak for or against the
project so the Public Hearing was closed.

REVOCATION.OF HOME -OCCUPATION PERMIT NO. 87-1
Licensee: Tim Vescovi
General Reason: Alleged violation of Section'S.9730.36 (4), (g) and
(h) of the Huntington Beach,Ordinance Code, referring to use of
commercial vehicles and storage of materials used in the business at
the home in conjunction with the Home Occupation Permit.
General Location: Subject property is located at 9461 Tiki Circle
(North side of Tiki Circle approximately two hundred fifty feet (250')
East of Luau Lane).
Staff reported the Licensee's permit was authorized May 7, 1986, and
Mr. Vescovi-signed-the application that he would abide by the
restrictions of the Home Occupation Permit. The Land Use Division of
Development Services has received complaints from an adjacent
resident, A. J. Molitor, who stated trucks used in the -business come
and go from the residence at various -times, trucks are parked at the
residence over the weekend, and materials and equipment are stored in
the garage. All of these are violations of the Ordinance Code. The
Land Use Technician, -Donald G. Shaw, investigated the situation and
wrote letters to the Licensee on October 13, 1986; December 17, 1986;
and February 4, 1987.
Donald G. Shaw verified Staff's report and stated the only response he
had received from Mr. Vescovi was after the second letter, at which
time Mr. Vescovi telephoned Mr. Shaw and stated he was using the
trucks for personal use. Mr. Shaw added he had investigated the
complaint further and had taken photographs in February. The Land Use
Technician continued that he had then referred the matter to the Board
for Revocation, and he presented the photographs to the Board for
their reference.
The Public Hearing was opened and the Licensee, Tim Vescovi, was
present. Mr. Vescovi said he was unaware that the -Permit prohibited
storing supplies or equipment in his garage. He said he did store
containers of soap in the garage and admitted one of his employees ha
lived in his garage for a period of about four months. The Licensee
added he used the trucks for recreational purposes such as trips to
the mountains. Mr. Vescovi added he had received no complaints about
-4- 3/25/87 - BZA
Minutes, H. B. Board of Zoning Adjustments
March 25, 1987
Page 5
his business until Mr. Molitor moved into the neighborhood - that
Mr. Molitor had nothing to do but water his lawn and watch his
neighbors.
At this point, Chairman Krejci interjected with instructions to keep
the testimony on an impersonal basis.
Tom Poe arrived at the Meeting at this point - 1:50 P.M.
Daryl Smith, in summation, said Mr. Vescovi was indicating he felt the
allegations were inaccurate; however, Mr. Vescovi had admitted he had
an employee living in the garage which is not allowed by the City, and
he stored supplies in the garage which is in violation of the Permit.
Mr. Smith added the fact Mr. Vescovi also used the trucks for personal
business did not preclude his using them in his business. Mr. Smith
continued that parking trucks and equipment in front of the residence
was also in violation.
Mr. Vescovi said the trucks, other than his personal brown truck, were
now stored in Newport Beach. He added he had not seen the pictures
Don Shaw had taken. Michael Strange showed Mr. Vescovi the
photographs.
Beverly Williams, 9441 Tiki Circle, said she had lived at that address
for one and one-half years and she did not even know the Licensee was
operating a business at the residence. She added that Tim Vescovi had
made arrangements to move the truck immediately after the Police
Department left.
The complainant, A. J. Molitor, 9471 Tiki Circle, said the problem had
existed for about six months and, at one time, the Licensee had four
trucks on or about the premises. Mr. Molitor continued that he had
taken pictures (around February 24, 1987, at the request of Mr. Shaw)
of the trucks and damage the trucks were doing to the streets. He
added he also had tapes of the noise created by the trucks and
equipment which were brought to the residence for storage.
Mr. Molitor was asked by Chairman Krejci if the photographs could be
retained by the Board and Mr. Molitor replied in the affirmative.
Mr. Molitor then added he had invested every penny he had when he
purchased this home and he did not want to see the neighborhood
deteriorate by allowing a business of this nature to exist in a
residential area.
Roger Kunkle, 9472 Tiki Circle, said he had no complaints regarding
the business being conducted at the residence, their property values
were soaring, and he was unaware of any damage to the streets.
Mr. Vescovi stated he had just purchased new vehicles about the time
Mr. Molitor moved into the neighborhood and he had told Mr. Molitor it
was a temporary arrangement. Mr. Vescovi said occasionally an
-5- 3/25/87 - BZA
Minutes, H. B. Board of Zoning Adjustments
March 25, 1987
Page 6
employee would come by his residence when the employee.was unable to
reach him by telephone at his other office.
Dennis Krejci asked about storage of the compressor and the Licensee
said it was stored in the garage at night to prevent theft. There was
a discussion regarding the compressor, storage of chemicals -(cleaning
compounds), parking -trucks on the street, etc. Mr. Shaw said the Code
allowed the Licensee to park the compressor in the garage since it was
a licensed vehicle.
Sherry Kunkle stated it was her understanding the trucks were allowed
as long as they were not parked overnight, but Michael Strange said
any increase of vehicular traffic in the neighborhood was in violation
of the restrictions on a Home Occupation Permit.
There -was no one else to speak for or against the Licensee so the
Public Hearing was closed.
Daryl Smith said he believed, based on the evidence and testimony,
that Mr. Vescovi deserved some time to satisfy the needs of the City
and the residents of the neighborhood, and added he would move that
the Board not revoke the Home Occupation Permit.

REVOCATION OF HOME OCCUPATION PERMIT NO. 87-2
Licensee: Mark Stemmer
General Reason: Alleged violation of Section 9730.36 (a), (c), (f)
and (i) of the Huntington Beach Ordinance Code, relating to storage of
materials in the home, employment of persons residing off the
premises, and creation of noise which is readily detected at the
boundaries of the property in conjunction with the Home Occupation
Permit.
General Location: Subject property is located at 509 Seventh Street
(West side of Seventh Street approximately one hundred feet (1001)
North of Pecan Avenue).
Staff reported the Licensee's permit was authorized in March, 1979,
for a tree and shrubbery trimming business. At that time, the
applicant signed an agreement that he would abide by the restrictions
for the permit. Early in January, 1987, a complaint was received by
Donald G. Shaw of the Land Use Division that trucks were loading and
unloading equipment and doing work related to tree trimming, such as
operating a chain saw, in the alley behind the Licensee residence and
the noise was very bad. A letter was sent to Mr. Stemmer on
January 12, 1987, advising him of the complaint and that he was in
violation of his agreement. Another complaint was received on
February 12, 1987, and Mr. Shaw referred Mr. Stemmer's Home Occupation
Permit to the Board for revocation.
Donald G. Shaw, Land Use Technician, stated he had visited the site
but it was shortly after 8:00 A.M. The complainant had said the noise
and activity occurred early in the morning and late in the afternoon.
Mr. Shaw continued he had written to Mr. Stemmer but had received no
response from him; and, after the third complaint, he had referred the
matter to the Board for their action.
The Public Hearing was opened and the Licensee, Mark Stemmer, was
present. Mr. Stemmer said he was delighted with the way problems are
resolved in Huntington Beach. Mr. Stemmer added he had started his
business in 1979 when he was going to college full time and his
-7- 3/25/87 - BZA
Minutes, H. B.-Board of Zoning Adjustments

Page _8
business had grown tremendously since that time. -Mr.-Stemmer said he
had taken a vacation when Mr. Shaw's letter was -received and then had
received a notice to appear before the Board - that he had received no
complaints about his operation from any neighbors.
Dennis Krejci=asked Mr. Stemmer if he was saying he would comply with
the restrictions and the Licensee replied in the affirmative. The
complainant was not present at the meeting so Mr. Krejci asked Donald
Shaw if the complainant had been notified of the Hearing. Mr. Shaw
said the complainant's name was not on the list of adjacent property
owners.- Mr., -,Shaw then added it was his understanding the complainant
was a tenant so he would not have received a notice of the Hearing.
Mr. Stemmer added_a lot of construction had been going on in the area
and the complainant might have thought the noise was from his company
rather than the construction.
Les Evans addressed the Licensee with the comments that apparently
someone felt he was violating his Home Occupation Permit and pointedly
asked Mr. Stemmer if he intended to stop the violations. Mr. Stemmer
said he would stop.
There was no one else present wishing to speak for or against the
Revocation so the Public Hearing was closed.

OCCUPATION PERMIT NO. 87-2 WAS NOT APPROVED, WITH THE FOLLOWING

existing two (2) dwelling building. The driveway would only be ten
feet (10') wide but the Code says it should be twenty feet (20') wide
for from an one hundred foot (100') length and over. The patio area
would encroach five feet (51) into the required fifteen foot (151)
front setback. Staff said there was no land -related hardship and
recommended denial of the Conditional Exception and the Use Permit
because the project was not feasible without the variance.
The Public Hearing was opened and Devon Robertson was present.
Ms. Robertson stated she was working with the developer and was
coordinating the project.
Jim Severance stated he was the contractor on the project and said
they were interested in combining the two (2) existing units with two

(10') driveway -and the encroachment into,the front -yard setback.
Mr. Severance continued-that,they would lose one (1) of the required
parking spaces if they were forced to remove the existing garage.
Michael Strange asked Mr. Severance if the property owner to -the East
had been approached.;relative to a reciprocal driveway arrangement.
Mr. Severance said he did not know where to contact the adjacent
property owner.
A further discussion occurred regarding demolition of the garage, the
costs involved in such a procedure, and the loss of the front patio
area., Mr. Severance said°hecould demolish the garage but it would
make a tight'situation._ Dennis Krejci suggested that the applicant
might be attempting to place too many units on the property.
There was no one else -present wishing to -speak for-or-against,the
project so the.Public Hearing was closed.
