A request to permit a four thousand, nine hundred sixty (4,960)

one hundred eighty-five feet (185') West of Somerset Lane).
This request is covered by Categorical Exemption, Class 3,
California Environmental Quality Act, 1986.
The Staff member, Laura Phillips, stated this was a request for
construction of a two (2) story, single family residence abutting on
the channel. This proposed dwelling would be located in the Coastal
Zone and would thus require a Coastal Development Permit. Adjacent
property owners were notified but Staff received no comments. Staff
recommended that modifications be depicted to the maid's quarters so
that they would become an integral part of the house. There should
be no outside entrance, no wiring for a stove, no garbage disposal
(single sink only), and only a small refrigerator should be
allowed. Staff indicated the fence, pool, and spa would require
separate permits. Staff recommended approval of the request with
these modifications and other conditions.

CONDITIONAL EXCEPTION NO. 87-60
Applicant: Donald R. and Carolyn S. Foster
A request to permit a three foot (31) side yard setback for a garage
addition in lieu of a required five foot (5') setback. Subject
property is located at 6672 Gate Hill Circle (South side of Gate
Hill Circle at end of cul-de-sac).
This request is.covered by Categorical Exemption, _Class 5,
California Environmental Quality Act, 1986.
Staff reported this was a "flag" lot which was allowed here in
Huntington Beach in the early 70's. The owner is proposing to
revise an existing garage into living area space and constructing a
(8990d) -5- 8/26/87 - OZA
Minutes of Meeting

Page 6
new two (2) car garage. The garage would be -located within three
feet (3') of,.the side yard setback instead of.five.,feet (5'.) and
there would be a straight driveway into the garage. When this tract
was approved by the Planning Commission, there was a condition that
these lots would be the same as shown in the file.located,in•the
Planning Department. Staff indicated the -configuration of the, -lots
to the Zoning Administrator. Staff recommended the request be
referred to the Planning Commission to.determine whether=ior:.not this
new plan would meet the guest parking•requirements•since the spaces
would have to be on the street rather than on the lot.
The Public Hearing was opened and the.applicant-'s Architect.andi
representative, Mitchell Sheltraw, was.;present. He said he had
shown, in previous discussions regarding the project, that there was
one hundred fifty. feet (150' )• of street parking spacel'-on- the.-
cul-de-sac.which could,be utilized and could accommodate ten (10)
vehicles. The driveway was in excess of sixteen feet (16') in width
and forty feet.(40') in length which could also accommodate
automobiles in a tandem ,fashion. :• j ta,+> =-
Mr. Palin said it was his understanding there:had.-already been some
modifications to the property which affected the originally -approved
plan for.guest parking--that•on-site guest parking;and.turnarounds
had been required for.all the ".flag" lots. Mr.- Palini•asked if•the
residence was a.two story unit and Mr. Sheltraw-replied-it-was only
a single story.- Mr..Palin suggested the additional square footage
could possibly be attained by addition of a second story or on the
back of the house. Mr. Sheltraw said the property backed onto a
golf course -and there would be objections from adjacent property
owners to blocking their "golf course" views.
The Zoning Administrator inquired about the square footage of the
existing residence, the existing.garage, and.the proposed -.addition;
Mr. Sheltraw was rather unsure,of the.footagesrinvolved.and,checked
his figures several times. This was followed by a discussion
regarding the percentage of lot coverage and Mr.•.Sheltraw,stated
they were to be allowed up_to;fifty-eight percent,(58%).
Diane Ranny, 6682 Gate Hill Circle, was present.and reminded
Mr. Sheltraw that the existing residence was larger than he was
indicating because she had the ,same model..home... She .also noted that
the applicant had previously added onto the original residence.
Ms. Ranny objected to the request because of the parking impact on
the neighborhood and further mentioned that planters were being
built along the driveway which would cut down on the available
parking space on the driveway.itself.
Another resident, Betty Engle of 6662 Gate Hill Circle, spoke in
opposition to the request because of the impact of additional
parking on the street.

Page 7
There was no one else present wishing to speak for or against the
project so the Public Hearing was closed.
Mr. Palin expressed concern over this request because a great deal
of Staff time had been expended providing an acceptable and workable
solution for parking when the development was originally proposed
and constructed. He added there was a definite need for on -site
parking and turnaround space on these "flag" lots in order to
prevent backing a long distance into the street. The Zoning
Administrator added he was denying the request because it would
grant a privilege not enjoyed by other "flag" lot properties in the
area. Mr. Palin reminded the applicant's representative that his
decision was appealable to the Planning Commission.
CONDITIONAL EXCEPTION NO. 87-60 WAS DENIED BY THE ZONING
ADMINISTRATOR, WITH THE FOLLOWING FINDINGS:
FINDINGS FOR DENIAL:
1. Since the subject property can be fully developed within
regular established setbacks, such a Conditional Exception is
not necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of substantial
property rights.
2. Although the property is irregular in configuration, the size
of the lot satisfies the minimum size of 6,000 square feet.
3. Granting of Conditional Exception No. 87-60 would constitute a
special privilege inconsistent with limitations upon properties
in the vicinity.
4. The subject property was legally subdivided and developed in a
manner consistent with applicable zoning laws.
5. The placement of structures on the lot was approved pursuant to
Conditions of Approval for Tentative Tract No. 7421. The
approved placement was intended to provide resident and guest
parking on -site, as flag lots precluded guest parking on the
street.
6. The proposed structure would eliminate turnaround on -site and
require backing a considerable distance onto a cul-de-sac.
CONDITIONAL EXCEPTION NO. 87-64
Applicant: Southridae Homes/Yorktown Associates
A request to permit 1) a wood wall at zero foot (0') setback along
the southerly property line in lieu of a masonry wall and 2) a
thirteen foot, four inch (13'-4") minimum front yard setback in lieu
(8990d) -7- 8/26/87 - OZA

of fifteen feet (15'). Subject property is located at
2418-2420 Huntington Street (Southeast corner of Yorktown Avenue and
Huntington Street).
This request is covered by Categorical Exemption, Class 4,
California Environmental Quality Act, 1986.
Ms. Phillips stated this project had originally been approved by the
Board of Zoning Adjustments and had been before the Board again as a
Site Plan Amendment for changes to the site and elevations. The
applicant now wishes to construct the rear wall of the garages with
wood rather than masonry construction. Staff indicated -a point
where concrete was poured incorrectly at thirteen feet, four inches
(13'-4") when it should have been at fifteen feet (15'). Staff
recommended denial of the request because the applicant had not
shown justification for the variance. Staff further added she had
received a letter from the adjacent property owner stating
opposition to allowing wooden fencing rather than masonry.
Mr. Palin asked the height of the wall and Staff replied it was
thirteen feet (13') high with the parapet and would be five feet,
six inches (5'-6") from the structures on the adjacent property.
The Public Hearing was opened and Tony Ursino, R. L. "Duf" Sfreddo,
and Emil Benes, the Architect, were present to represent the
applicant. The property owner, "Duf" Sfreddo stated the
justification was that they had taken the project completely through
plan check. It had been approved as a wood wall and now the City
wanted a masonry wall. The curb was poured and the City inspector
allowed pouring of the slabs. We thought we were doing what was
correct.
Mr.•Sfreddo continued that the setback error was only for a length
of about five feet (5') at the corner of one building, and the
average was to be fifteen feet (15'). Ms. Phillips corrected the
property owner with the statement that the average dimension was to
have been twenty feet (20') with a minimum of fifteen feet (15').
Mr. Sfreddo said he would have his Architect address the technical
points of the project.
Another representative of the applicant, Tony Ursino, discussed the
height and distance of a block wall and indicated where it dropped
down to thirty inches (30"). After questioning by Mr. Palin,
Mr. Ursino indicated the wall was not on the property line.
Mr. Palin added it would create an area for bugs, trash, etc., to
collect.
Mr. Palin and Staff reminded the applicant's representatives they -
originally had an approved site plan before they requested the site
plan amendment. Mr. Ursino said they had the project primarily set

up for a density bonus and then they changed architects. City Staff
members had also made recommendations for.changes to the elevations
and the applicants had tried to conform to those suggestions.
The new Architect, Emil Benes, stated he had gotten involved with
the project after the site plan was approved but he could not make
it work legally. He added they had redesigned the basic units and
the City had requested more information on the elevations. The
project was approved and building permits were obtained. Mr. Benes
further explained their design was for a one (1) hour fire wall with
parapet but the City then informed them it should have been a block
wall. This was not a Building Department requirement but rather
from the Planning Department. Mr. Palin then stated it was a City
requirement which had been adopted by the City Council.
Mr. Palin and the representatives held a lengthy discussion relative
to changes in the site plan, moving the garages to'the easterly side
of the project, height and construction material of the wall,
requirements of the Fire Department with relation to fire protection
and fire hydrants, distance tenants would have to walk to and from,
garage locations, etc.
The Zoning Administrator then informed the representatives of the
applicant he was not inclined to approve this request because of the
many problems they had discussed. He asked representatives if they
would like a continuation to see if these stated problems could be
corrected and offered his assistance in "ironing" out the problems
with and through other departments. After a consultation, the
applicant's representative agreed they had no alternative but to -
accept the continuance. Mr. Sfreddo officially requested a
continuance to resolve the situation. After a discussion between
the Zoning Administrator and Staff, it was determined the request
would have to be readvertised because of the proposed change in
location of the wall and garages. This readvertising would require
that the request be continued for a period of two (2) weeks - to the
meeting of September 9, 1987. Mr. Sfreddo then agreed to this
delayed continuation.
There was no one else present wishing to speak for or against the
request and the Public Hearing was left open to the future meeting.
CONDITIONAL EXCEPTION NO. 87-64 WAS CONTINUED BY THE ZONING
ADMINISTRATOR, AT THE REQUEST OF THE APPLICANT'S REPRESENTATIVE, TO -

USE PERMIT NO. 87-66
Applicant: Casey Jurado
A request to permit a four hundred ninety-four (494) Square Foot
addition to a single family dwelling with existing nonconforming
setbacks. Subject property is located at 502 Thirteenth Street
(Northeast corner of Pecan Avenue and Thirteenth Street).
This request is covered by Categorical Exemption, Class 1,
California Environmental Quality Act, 1986.
Staff reported this was a one-half size lot on the corner of
Thirteenth Street and Pecan Avenue. The applicant wishes to
construct an addition to a residence with nonconforming setbacks.
It would be within one foot (1') of the rear property line. The
side yard setback is presently required to be ten feet (101) but
Staff members are rewriting the Ordinance to require five feet
(5'). The garage entrance would be from Pecan Avenue at six feet
(6')-rather than the required twenty-two feet (22'). The applicant
wants to add a bath and bedrooms upstairs. Staff could -not find a
copy of the original tract map creating this lot. Staff recommended
approval of the requeELt with conditions.
Jim Palin questioned Staff further regarding creation of the lot and
advised the applicant he was not sure this parcel would be a legal
building lot. Staff said the size of the lot was fifty-five feet by
sixty-nine feet (55' x 69').
The Public Hearing was opened and the property owner, Joe Drucker,
was present. Mr. Drucker said he had made an attempt to determine
legality of the lot by researching the property back to 1958. -
Mr. Drucker added he would like the additional square footage to
make more livable quarters for his family.
After a lengthy discussion with the property owner relative to the
history of lots in that area, the Zoning Administrator stated he did
not feel comfortable with approving the request without -legal proof_
of creation of the lot. Mr. Palin asked the applicant if he would
like a continuance to give him more time to work with Staff to
determine the legality of the lot. Joe Drucker requested the
continuance.
There was no one else present wishing to speak for or against the
project and the Public Hearing was left open.
USE PERMIT NO. 87-66 WAS CONTINUED BY THE ZONING ADMINISTRATOR, AT

reason for requesting the extension, and Staff replied it had
indicated a problem with financing.
Upon questioning by Mr., Palin, the -applicant's representative, Eric
Mossman, stated he did not know why the property owner was
requesting a time extension. Mr. Palin asked if -the -applicant's
representative felt the property owner was "stalling"-unti•l the'City
had built the Warner -Avenue improvements.- Again; Mr: Mossman said
he did not know the property owner's intent. Mr. Palin added that
installation of these street improvements might be very far in the

continue the request for one (1) week so.that Staff and the --
applicant's representative could determine the exact reason-for'the
extension of time. Mr. Mossman agreed to the continuance and said
