COASTAL DEVELOPMENT PERMIT NO. 86-36 (REVISION)
applicant: Gale Kramer
A request to add forty-four (44) Square Feet of living area and
balcony to a previously approved single family -dwelling. Subject
property is located at 16632 Baruna Lane (East side of Baruna Lane
at intersection with Bolero Lane).
This request is covered by Categorical Exemption, Class 1,
California Environmental Quality Act, 1986.
The Staff member, Laura Phillips, reported this was a request to add
forty-four (44) Square Feet of living area and a balcony to a single
family dwelling which had been previously approved under a Coastal
Development Permit. Staff recommended approval of the project since
the revised plan would still meet setbacks and other aspects of the
Code.
The Public Hearing was opened by Chairman Dennis Krejci and the
applicant's representative, Dwayne Carter, was present. Mr. Carter
stated they were just increasing the size of the proposed balcony
and putting a roof on it.
There was no one else present wishing to speak for or against the
project so the Public Hearing was closed.

CONDITIONAL EXCEPTION NO. 87-44
Applicant: Kenneth M. Wy eken
A request to permit one (1) open space area to be eight hundred
twenty-two and one-half (822.5) Square Feet in lieu of nine hundred
(900) Square Feet and to have a minimum dimension of twenty-three
and one-half feet (23.51) in lieu of twenty-five feet (25') feet.
Subject property is located at 20081 North New Britain Lane (West
side of North New Britain Lane approximately two hundred forty feet
(240') South of Northport Drive).
This request is covered by Categorical Exemption, Class 5,
California Environmental Quality Act, 1986.
Staff stated this request was for a room addition to a single family
residence. The Code requires minimum open space areas as well as
minimum open space dimensions. This lot has more than the required
square footage of open space area but not in the proper locations.
Staff recommended denial of the project since there was no
land -related hardship. Staff reminded the Board she had prepared
alternative Findings and Conditions for approval if the Board so
desired.
Michael Strange asked how much open space was located in one
specific area and Ms. Phillips stated there was 822 Square Feet in
one area and 595 Square Feet in another.
Daryl Smith stated that in review it appeared the house had been set
on the lot in such a manner.that it could not meet the minimum
dimension requirements. Ms. Phillips verified Mr. Smith's statement
that there might have been a mistake in placement of the house on
the property.
The Public Hearing was opened and the applicant, Kenneth M. Wyneken,
was present. He asked Peter Toghia to speak in his behalf.
Mr. Toghia said there had been an error in placement of the house on
the lot and the back yard was one and one-half feet (1-1/21) less
than it should have been. He added the applicant had a total open
space area of 2,738 Square Feet if the side yards were included. He
further stated Staff had recommend shifting the room addition to the
Southwest corner of the property; however, this would place the
family room addition adjacent to the bedrooms instead of the kitchen
and breakfast nook. Mr. Toghia requested approval of the project as
it was originally planned.
There was no one else present wishing to speak for or against the
project so the Public Hearing was closed.
Daryl Smith said he would move for approval of the project with the
additional Finding that, since the original siting of the home on
-3- 6/17/87 - BZA

the lot does not meet the minimum dimension requirement, it would be
inappropriate to apply that section of the Code at this time.

Agnlicant: Cavan Associates. Ltd.
A request to create eight (8) parcels for development purposes.
Subject property is located at end of Metzler Lane (East of Gothard
Street and North of Talbert Avenue).
This request is covered by previously approved Negative Declaration
No. 86-63.
Staff stated this map was being filed to fulfill Conditions of
Approval for an industrial building on this site. Staff recommerled
approval with conditions.
Daryl Smith asked Staff about a condition which referred to
"compliance with all applicable City Ordinances", and said it should
have a notation added that "with the exception to those changes
which occurred prior to other action that we have taken". Staff
replied that the variances were already on record. Dennis Krejci
clarified Mr. Smith's statement by adding that, if the applicant was
required to comply with all City Ordinances, the exceptions would
not be valid. Michael Strange said it should read "with the
exception of previously approved variances". Ms. Phillips said
there were not any variances noted - that the previous action had
been under Administrative Review No. 86-56.
The applicant's representative, William G. Borden, was present. He
agreed to the suggested conditions with the exception that Metzler
Lane should be dedicated to the City, and stated it was to be a
cul-de-sac. Les Evans stated his concern was that the area was
shown on the map as part of Parcel 6. Mr. Borden asked if the
boundary did not go around the cul-de-sac and Mr. Evans indicated it
went right through the cul-de-sac. He added that even if it had
already been dedicated, it would have to be shown on the map.
Mr. Borden also asked about another item concerning Metzler Lane and
added the legal description showed the rights had been dedicated.
