JULY 7, 1999 MEETING)
APPLICANT/
PROPERTY OWNER: Talbert/Sackin, 1815 Pine Street, Huntington Beach, California 92648
REQUEST: To subdivide an existing 100 foot wide lot into two 50 foot wide lots in
lieu of a minimum required lot width of 60 feet.
LOCATION: 1815 Pine Street (west side, north of Springfield)
PROJECT PLANNER: Peter Vanek
Peter Vanek, Staff Planner, displayed the site plan stating that the request was continued from the
July 7, 1999 meeting to allow proper notification time for the negative declaration. Staff stated that
the 20-day comment period had not expired as of the July 7 meeting. Staff stated the 20-day
comment period has run its course at this point.
Staff stated that this request is to subdivide an existing 100-foot wide lot into two 50-foot wide lots.
Staff stated that the minimum lot size is 60 feet, therefore, there is a variance. Staff stated that the
variance is in accordance with properties in the surrounding area and that the majority of the
residential properties in the general area have been subdivided to a minimum width of 50 feet under
previous requirements. Staff stated that there are no special privileges granted under the variance.
Staff recommended approval of the variance in conjunction with the tentative parcel map and the
negative declaration.
Mary Beth Broeren, Zoning Administrator, asked staff if any comments were received on the
negative declaration and staff responded that there were none.
In response to a question by Ms. Broeren, Staff stated that there was no development proposal at this
time, and that Staff understands that this is to be for future development of two single-family
dwellings.
THE PUBLIC HEARING WAS OPENED.
Philip Talbert, 1815 Pine Street, the applicant/owner, stated that the proposal is to retain an existing
older home on one lot, and then to build a new home on the adjacent lot that would be subdivided.
Ms. Broeren reviewed the plan and asked Staff if the existing home is in compliance. Staff stated that
it is.
THERE WERE NO OTHER PERSONS PRESENT TO SPEAK FOR OR AGAINST THE
REQUEST AND THE PUBLIC HEARING WAS CLOSED.
NEGATIVE DECLARATION NO.99-8/VARIANCE NO.99-8/TENTATIVE PARCEL MAP
NO.99-133 WERE APPROVED BY THE ZONING ADMINISTRATOR WITH THE
FOLLOWING MODIFIED FINDINGS AND CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL. SHE STATED
THAT THE ACTION TAKEN BY THE ZONING ADMINISTRATOR CAN BE APPEALED
TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION WITHIN TEN (10) CALENDAR DAYS.
FINDINGS FOR APPROVAL FOR NEGATIVE DECLARATION NO.99-8:
1. Negative Declaration No. 99-8 has been prepared in compliance with Article 6 of the California
Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines. It was advertised and available for a public
comment period of twenty (20) days. No comments were received during the comment period.
2. There is no substantial evidence in light of the whole record before the Zoning Administrator that
the project will have a significant effect on the environment.
FINDINGS FOR APPROVAL - VARIANCE NO.99-8:
1. The granting of Variance No. 99-8 for the subdivision of an existing 100 foot wide lot into two 50
foot wide lots in lieu of a minimum lot width of 60 feet will not constitute a grant of special
privilege inconsistent with limitations upon other properties in the vicinity and under an identical
zone classification. The majority of the properties within the general vicinity are 50 feet wide.
2. Because of special circumstances applicable to the subject property, including size, location or
surroundings, the strict application of the zoning ordinance is found to deprive the subject
property of privileges enjoyed by other properties in the vicinity and under identical zone
classification. The property is surrounded by single family residential development that consists
of single family dwellings on 50 foot wide lots.
3. The granting of a variance is necessary to preserve the enjoyment of one or more substantial
property rights. The variance request will permit the property owner to develop the subject
parcels in accordance with what has been granted to the surrounding property owners.
ZA Minutes 07/21/99
(99ZM0721)
4. The granting of the variance will not be materially detrimental to the public welfare or injurious
to property in the same zone classification. The proposed 50 foot lot width will allow the
property to be well integrated into the surrounding neighborhood, and will be more compatible
with the surrounding properties that contain one single family dwelling on one lot.
5. The granting of the variance will not adversely affect the General Plan. It is consistent with the
Land Use Element designation of Residential Low Density on the subject property as the subject
lots will comply with the minimum lot size, therefore not compromising the maximum density of
seven units per acre of the Residential Low Density general plan designation.
FINDINGS FOR APPROVAL - TENTATIVE PARCEL MAP NO.99-133:
1. Tentative Parcel Map No. 99-133 for the subdivision of one lot into two 50 foot wide lots is
consistent with the General Plan Land Use Element designation of Residential Low Density on
the subject property and other applicable provisions of this Code, with the exception of the lot
width reduction from 60 feet to 50 feet.
2. The site is physically suitable for the type and density of development. The existing 100 foot
wide lot will be subdivided into two 50 foot wide lots for the future development of two single
family dwellings. The development of two single family dwellings on the two lots is consistent
with the surrounding development which consists mainly of single family dwellings on 50 foot
wide lots.
3. The design of the subdivision or the proposed improvements will not cause serious health
problems or substantial environmental damage or substantially and avoidably injure fish or
wildlife or their habitat. An environmental analysis and Negative Declaration has been prepared
as the proposed project will not produce any substantial negative impacts.
4. The design of the subdivision or the type of improvements will not conflict with easements,
acquired by the public at large, for access through or use of, property within the proposed
subdivision unless alternative easements, for access or for use, will be provided. No easements
exist on the subject property currently.

ITEM 2: VARIANCE NO.99-6 (COOPER GREENHOUSE) (CONTINUED FROM THE
JULY 14, 1999 MEETING)
APPLICANT/
PROPERTY OWNER: Mark S. Cooper, 8402 Jalm Drive, Huntington Beach, CA 92647
REQUEST: To allow a two foot six inch side yard setback in lieu of five feet and a
five foot building separation in lieu of 10 feet for a new proposed 754
square foot greenhouse.
LOCATION: 8402 Jalm Drive (on Jalm Drive west of Newland Avenue)
PROJECT PLANNER: Sandra Thornton
Sandra Thornton, Staff Planner, displayed site plans, stating that the surrounding uses are residential
to the north, east and south, and the Good Shepherd Cemetery to the west. Staff stated that the
applicant is requesting to allow a two foot six inch side yard setback in lieu of five feet and a five foot
building separation in lieu of 10 feet for a new proposed 754 square foot green house. Staff stated
that at the July 14, 1999 meeting staff was directed to explore the possibility of a time constraint
variance and to draft findings for approval. Staff did not feel that a time constraint is necessary, and
has drafted findings for approval. Staff outlined the suggested findings for approval and stated that
the greenhouse would not set a precedence for other property owners because the City currently
allows encroachments such as bay windows and chimneys.
Staff stated that she has received only one telephone call from a neighbor expressing concern on the
location of the greenhouse.
Mary Beth Broeren, Zoning Administrator, reviewed photographs and site plans reflecting the
neighboring property where the greenhouse would encroach.
THE PUBLIC HEARING WAS OPENED.
THERE WERE NO PERSONS PRESENT TO SPEAK FOR OR AGAINST THE REQUEST
AND THE PUBLIC HEARING WAS CLOSED.
Ms. Broeren asked Mark Cooper, the applicant/property owner, why the greenhouse could not be of a
smaller size. Mr. Cooper's response was that the structure of the greenhouse would be compromised
because it is an existing prefab structure.
Ms. Broeren addressed the requirements of the building permit. Ricky Ramos, Staff Planner, stated
that a building permit is needed, stating that anything greater than 120 square feet requires a building
permit.
Ms. Broeren raised the question regarding a different fire rating on the wall, and Staff advised that is
only needed when walls are within three feet of another wall.
Ms. Broeren instructed Staff to add in the findings that the adjacent property on one side is vacant,
and to reflect in the conditions of approval that a building permit would be required prior to
installation and that there are no other building requirements.
ZA Minutes 07/21/99 5 (99ZM0721)
VARIANCE NO.99-6 WAS APPROVED BY THE ZONING ADMINISTRATOR WITH THE
FOLLOWING MODIFIED FINDINGS AND MODIFIED CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL.
SHE STATED THAT THE ACTION TAKEN BY THE ZONING ADMINISTRATOR CAN
BE APPEALED TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION WITHIN TEN (10) CALENDAR
DAYS.
FINDINGS FOR PROJECTS EXEMPT FROM CEOA:
The Zoning Administrator finds that the project will not have any significant effect on the
environment and is exempt from the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA)
pursuant to section 15305 Class 5 of the CEQA Guidelines, because it is a setback variance which
will not result in the creation of any new parcels.
FINDINGS FOR APPROVAL - VARIANCE NO.99-6:
1. The granting of Variance No. 99-6 to allow a two (2) foot -six (6) inch side yard setback in lieu of
five (5) feet and a five (5) foot building separation in lieu of ten (10) feet for a new proposed 754
square foot greenhouse will not constitute a grant of special privilege inconsistent with limitations
upon other properties in the vicinity and under an identical zone classification. Encroachments
into the five (5) foot setback are allowed in the case of bay windows and chimneys and are
common in this zone classification.
2. There are special circumstances applicable to the subject property, including shape and
topography and the strict application of the zoning ordinance is found to deprive the subject
property of privileges enjoyed by other properties in the vicinity and under identical zone
classification. The subject property is a pie shaped property with a slope condition in the rear yard
that prevents the installation of the requested greenhouse in a manner that will comply with the
zoning code.
3. The granting of a variance is necessary to preserve the enjoyment of one or more substantial
property rights. The two (2) foot -six (6) inch side yard setback in lieu of five (5) feet and the five
(5) foot building separation will allow the installation of the requested greenhouse which will
only encroach into the side yard setback five (5) square feet.
4. The granting of the variance would not be materially detrimental to the public welfare or injurious
to property in the same zone classification. Encroachments into the five (5) foot side yard setback
are allowed in the case of bay windows and chimneys and are common in this zone classification.
In addition, the encroachment into the side yard setback abuts a large vacant portion of the
neighboring property which will allow a large buffer zone between the greenhouse and the
neighboring residence. The building separation of five (5) feet in lieu of ten (10) feet will affect
the applicant only and will not be detrimental to the general public or other properties in the same
zone classification.
5. The granting of the variance will not adversely affect the General Plan. It is consistent with the
Land Use Element designation of Residential Low Density on the subject property which permits
the proposed use.
ZA Minutes 07/21/99 6 (99ZM0721)
6. The proposed accessory structure will comply with the development standards and provisions of
the Residential Low Density land use district, and other applicable provisions with the exception
of the reduced side yard setback and building separation.
CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL — VARIANCE NO.99-6:
1. The site plan, floor plans, and elevations received and dated June 14, 1999 shall be the
conceptually approved layout.
2. Walls within three (3) feet of the property line shall not have any openings and must be of one
hour fire rating construction. (BD)
3. Building permits are required prior to the installation of this structure.
4. Plans, calculations, and details required at plan check submittal. Design to reflect current
Building Code standard. (BD)
5. The Planning Director ensures that all conditions of approval herein are complied with. The
Planning Director shall be notified in writing if any changes to the site plan, elevations and floor
plans are proposed as a result of the plan check process. Building permits shall not be issued until
the Planning Director has reviewed and approved the proposed changes for conformance with the
intent of the Zoning Administrator's action and the conditions herein. If the proposed changes are
of a substantial nature, an amendment to the original entitlement reviewed by the Zoning
Administrator may be required pursuant to the HBZSO.
INFORMATION ON SPECIFIC CODE REQUIREMENTS:
1. Variance No. 99-6 shall not become effective until the ten day appeal period has elapsed.
2. Variance No. 99-6 shall become null and void unless exercised within one year of the date of
final approval or such extension of time as may be granted by the Director pursuant to a written
request submitted to the Department of Planning a minimum 30 days prior to the expiration
date.
3. The Zoning Administrator reserves the right to revoke Variance No. 99-6, pursuant to a public
hearing for revocation, if any violation of these conditions or the Huntington Beach Zoning and
Subdivision Ordinance or Municipal Code occurs.
4. All applicable Public Works fees shall be paid. (PW)
5. The development shall comply with all applicable provisions of the Municipal Code, Building
Division, and Fire Department as well as applicable local, State and Federal Fire Codes,
Ordinances, and standards, except as noted herein.
6. Construction shall be limited to Monday - Saturday 7:00 AM to 8:00 PM. Construction shall be
prohibited Sundays and Federal holidays.
ZA Minutes 07/21/99 7 (99ZM0721)
7. The applicant shall submit a check in the amount of $38.00 for the posting of the Notice of
Exemption at the County of Orange Clerk's Office. The check shall be made out to the
County of Orange and submitted to the Department of Planning within two (2) days of the
Zoning Administrator's action.
ITEM 3: ENTITLEMENT PLAN AMENDMENT NO.99-5 (WEST BAY CAFE)
(CONTINUED FROM THE JULY 14,1999 MEETING)
APPLICANT/
PROPERTY OWNER: Jay Buettner, 16600 Pacific Coast Highway, Huntington Beach, CA
92649
REQUEST: To delete Condition of Approval No. 7 of Use Permit No. 95-4, Coastal
Development Permit No. 95-2, and Variance No. 95-7, which limits the
sales of alcoholic beverages to beer and wine only at the West Bay
Cafe. The request is to permit the sale of hard liquor/cocktails in
addition to beer and wine.
LOCATION: 16600 Pacific Coast Highway (northeast corner of Pacific Coast
Highway and Admiralty)
PROJECT PLANNER: Jane James
Jane James, Staff Planner, displayed site plans, and stated that the request is to upgrade the existing
alcohol license from beer and wine only to all types of alcohol. Staff stated that the item was
continued from the July 14, 1999 meeting where the previous conditions of approval were reviewed
and were primarily drafted to increase the compatibility between the restaurant and adjacent residents.
Staff summarized the previous conditions of approval. Staff stated that the reason for the continuance
was to allow more time to address concerns that were presented by neighbors, and to review any
possible conflicts between the City's conditions and those of the Alcohol Beverage Control board
(ABC).
Staff advised that the applicant's reason for not complying with the condition of a chainlink fence in
the parking lot was to avoid any liability in preventing access by emergency vehicles. Staff advised
that the fire department considers this to be a secondary access (a delayed access) and recommended
that the chain be placed across the parking lot and secured with a Knox Box. Therefore, Staff stated
that she added condition 2.c outlining the requirements for the chainlink fence. Staff stated that
another condition of approval was added requiring that all previous conditions remain in effect.
Staff stated she received a telephone call from an adjacent resident advising her that because there
was no chainlink fence in place, a delivery truck made a delivery at the restaurant on Monday
morning at 5:12 A.M. Staff stated that time has prevented the applicant from responding to this
complaint.
Staff recommended approval of this request noting that the police department has expressed no
concerns, and that the ABC has preliminarily approved the upgrade in license. Staff stated that the
applicant should be aware that all of the previous conditions of approval will be enforced by the City
ZA Minutes 07/21/99 8 (99ZM0721)
[ I
C
Mary Beth Broeren, Zoning Administrator, inquired into code enforcement violations and/or
complaints. Staff briefly presented the three violations as outlined in the July 14, 1999 meeting.
Staff mentioned that last week she was asked by the Zoning Administrator to pursue the previous
condition of approval that the applicant was to repair a wall that was actually serving the Tiburon
residents when the project was originally approved. Staff stated that although they do not have
building permit records of that repair, the applicant did provide Staff with a letter to the residents that
discusses the repair and cost of the block wall stating that she believes the repair did occur. Staff also
noted that in response to a second request by the Zoning Administrator last week, there have been no
code enforcement complaints regarding truck deliveries.
THE PUBLIC HEARING WAS OPENED.
Jay Buettner, 17212 Sims Street, the applicant/property owner, stated that the subject newspaper
racks in the code enforcement complaint are not on his property but on the sidewalk. Mr. Buettner
stated that the wall was originally built by the owners of the homes on Tiburon as part of their
association, and was permitted by them and is actually on their property and not on his property. In
response to a question by Ms. Broeren, Mr. Buettner stated that the repair was actually done by Team
Construction.
Ms. Broeren asked the applicant why the chain was a problem. Mr. Buettner's response was based on
the issue of liability.
Ms. Broeren asked if and when the applicant would comply with the recommended condition for
securing access and placing a Knox Box. Mr. Buettner stated that the chains are ready, that he would
comply, and that the Knox Box was to be done by the fire department.
The applicant requested that the condition state (as in the original condition) that access be chained
when the restaurant is closed and upon departure of the last employee. Staff noted that this was a
CUP condition. Ms. Broeren reviewed the ABC condition. Ms. Broeren instructed Staff to change
condition 2.c to reflect the wording "when the last employee leaves."
THERE WERE NO OTHER PERSONS PRESENT TO SPEAK FOR OR AGAINST THE
REQUEST AND THE PUBLIC HEARING WAS CLOSED.
ENTITLEMENT PLAN AMENDMENT NO.99-5 WAS APPROVED BY THE ZONING
ADMINISTRATOR WITH THE FOLLOWING FINDINGS AND MODIFIED CONDITIONS
OF APPROVAL. SHE STATED THAT THE ACTION TAKEN BY THE ZONING
ADMINISTRATOR CAN BE APPEALED TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION WITHIN
TEN (10) CALENDAR DAYS.
FINDINGS FOR PROJECTS EXEMPT FROM CEOA:
The Zoning Administrator finds that the project will not have any significant effect on the
environment and is exempt from the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA)
pursuant to Section 15301, Class 1 of the CEQA Guidelines, because the project is a minor change to
the continuing operation of an existing restaurant.
ZA Minutes 07/21/99 9 (99ZM0721)
FINDINGS FOR APPROVAL — ENTITLEMENT PLAN AMENDMENT NO 99-5:
1. Entitlement Plan Amendment 99-5 to delete Condition of Approval No. 7 of Use Permit No. 95-
4, Coastal Development Permit No. 95-2, and Variance No. 95-7 to allow the sale of hard
liquor/cocktails in addition to beer and wine at West Bay Cafe will not be detrimental to the
general welfare of persons working or residing in the vicinity or detrimental to the value of the
property and improvements in the neighborhood. The existing restaurant has been in operation at
this location for approximately three years with the sale of beer and wine. The Police Department
has reviewed the request and has no concerns with the change in operation. In addition, there has
been no history of code enforcement complaints relating to alcohol use or noise issues. The
addition of hard liquor/cocktails will not cause the restaurant to become incompatible with the
surrounding uses.
2. The entitlement plan amendment will be compatible with surrounding uses because all other
previous conditions of approval established with the original approval of the restaurant with beer
and wine -sales ensure compatibility. The existing conditions of approval regarding hours of
operation, closure of rear restaurant doors, securing the parking lot after hours, restrictions on use
of trash area after 10:00 PM, and limitations on delivery hours, etc. were designed to ensure
compatibility with adjacent uses and will remain in effect.
3. The proposed entitlement plan amendment will comply with the provisions of the base district
and other applicable provisions in Titles 20-25 of the Huntington Beach Zoning and Subdivision
Ordinance and any specific condition required for the proposed use in the district in which it
would be located. No development or physical changes to the property are proposed at this time
and the existing restaurant was approved with the appropriate entitlements.
4. The granting of the entitlement plan amendment will not adversely affect the General Plan. It is
consistent with the Land Use Element designation of Neighborhood Commercial-F-1 on the
subject property. In addition, because the existing conditions of approval will remain in effect,
the project is consistent with the following goals and policies of the General Plan:
a. Achieve the development of a range of commercial uses (LU 10).
b. Require that commercial projects abutting residential properties adequately protect the
residential use from the excessive or incompatible impacts of noise, light, vehicular traffic,
visual character, and operational hazards (LU 10.1.6) .
CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL — ENTITLEMENT PLAN AMENDMENT NO 99-5:
1. The site plan, floor plans, and elevations received and dated June 18, 1999 shall be the
conceptually approved layout.
ZA Minutes 07/21/99 10 (99ZM0721)
�J
2. The use shall comply with the following:
a. Prior to the sale of hard liquor/cocktail type alcoholic beverages, a copy of the amended
Alcoholic Beverage Control Board (ABC) license, along with any special conditions imposed
by the ABC, shall be submitted to the Planning Department for the file. Any conditions that
are more restrictive than those set forth in this approval shall be adhered to.
b. All existing Conditions of Approval of Use Permit No. 95-4, Coastal Development Permit
No. 95-2, and Variance No. 95-7 with the exception of Condition of Approval No. 7, which is
hereby amended, will remain in effect.
c. As required by the previous conditions of approval, the applicant shall secure the parking lot
with a cable/chain when the restaurant is closed and upon departure of the last employee. A
Knox lock system, reviewed and approved by the Fire Department, shall be provided on the
parking lot chain or cable.
3. The Planning Director ensures that all conditions of approval herein are complied with. The
Planning Director shall be notified in writing if any changes to the site plan, elevations, floor
plans, or operations of the restaurant are proposed in the future. Building permits or new
Certificate of Occupancy shall not be issued until the Planning Director has reviewed and
approved the proposed changes for conformance with the intent of the Zoning Administrator's
action and the conditions herein. If the proposed changes are of a substantial nature, an
amendment to the original entitlement reviewed by the Zoning Administrator may be required
pursuant to the HBZSO.
INFORMATION ON SPECIFIC CODE REQUIREMENTS:
1. Entitlement Plan Amendment 99-5 shall not become effective until the ten day appeal period has
elapsed.
2. Entitlement Plan Amendment 99-5 shall become null and void unless exercised within one year
of the date of final approval or such extension of time as may be granted by the Director
pursuant to a written request submitted to the Planning Department a minimum 30 days prior to
the expiration date.
3. The Zoning Administrator reserves the right to revoke Entitlement Plan Amendment 99-5,
pursuant to a public hearing for revocation, if any violation of these conditions or the
Huntington Beach Zoning and Subdivision Ordinance or Municipal Code occurs.
4. The development and restaurant operation shall comply with all applicable provisions of the
Municipal Code, Building Division, and Fire Department as well as applicable local, State and
Federal Fire Codes, Ordinances, and standards, except as noted herein.
5. All signs shall conform to the HBZSO. Prior to installing any new signs, or changing sign
faces, a building permit shall be obtained from the Planning Department.
ZA Minutes 07/21/99 11 (99ZM0721)
6. The applicant shall submit a check in the amount of $38.00 for the posting of the Notice of
Exemption at the County of Orange Clerk's Office. The check shall be made out to the
County of Orange and submitted to the Planning Department within two (2) days of the
Zoning Administrator's action.

CA 92648
REQUEST: Revocation of Coastal Development Permit No. 95-12/Conditional Use
Permit No. 95-37 for violations of Condition of Approval Nos. 1, 2, 3,
and 6 that pertain to the location of the outdoor dining.
LOCATION: 200 Main Street No. 101 (northeast corner of Main Street and Walnut
-- Avenue)
PROJECT PLANNER: Jane James
Jane James, Staff Planner, displayed site plans stating that the project was originally approved in
1995 for outdoor dining and was permitted to have such use on private property only. Staff stated
that the revocation is a result of code enforcement activity. Staff outlined various code enforcement
violations such as tables and chairs going beyond their approved boundaries and encroaching onto
public property. Staff displayed photographs as evidence of these violations. Staff stated that code
enforcement issued a notice of violation and three administrative citations for noncompliance.
Staff stated that Pete Rogers, the director of operations, contacted her last week inquiring on how to
amend or correct the situation. Staff stated that he was given an entitlement plan amendment
application in order to pursue expanding the outdoor dining area. Staff stated that he was advised that
at this time, he should comply with the current conditions of approval immediately. Staff stated that
code enforcement's inspection last week verified compliance. -
Staff stated that the application for the entitlement plan amendment was submitted this date at 1:00
P.M. Therefore, Staff recommended that the item be continued for one month to allow continued
observation and inspection by code enforcement, and to make sure that compliance with the approved
conditions remain while they pursue the entitlement plan amendment.
Mary Beth Broeren, Zoning Administrator, asked if all fines associated with the administrative
citations have been paid. Staff stated that the first fine had been paid but not the second and third
fines.
THE PUBLIC HEARING WAS OPENED.
Alain Bally, 700 South Flower St., 11" Floor, Los Angeles, CA 90017, spoke on behalf of the
applicant and apologized noting that this is not the manner in which the applicant does business. Mr.

Bally stated that they are prepared to comply with the prior grant, remediate the conditions and
submit the entitlement plan amendment. Mr. Bally stated that the fines would be paid on Monday.
Mr. Bally asked what the scope of discretion is under a revocation. He asked if the conditions could
be modified on the original grant, or does it occur through the application that they are applying for
today. Ms. Broeren stated that the latter case applied.
Mr. Bally presented the items that would be requested in the amendment and photographs were
reviewed.
THERE WERE NO OTHER PERSONS PRESENT TO SPEAK FOR OR AGAINST THE
REQUEST AND THE PUBLIC HEARING WAS CLOSED.
Ms. Broeren stated that for the record the applicant is to see to it that the fines are paid prior to the
next meeting, and that she will expect the applicant to have the plans completed and reviewed by
Staff by the next meeting.
