Huntington Beach, CA 92647
Dear Mayor Mays and City Council :
I appreciate your time and interest in my home remodel efforts.
While we complied with all City Code requirements we lost our
C.U.P. appeal due City Council discretionary findings . These
findings were generally centered around a perceived lack of
Harbour interest in third floors based on H.H.P.O.A. testimony.
We lost your vote ."fair and square" in public forum; our plans
for a third floor loft are dead.
Our Coastal Development Permit (C.D.P. ) was denied by default at
the same time as our C.U.P. The C.D.P. denial was based on the
slim technical grounds that with the third floor -denied the plans
are technically deemed to be "not compatible. " If we remove the
offending third floor loft our plans are once again compatible
and the C.D.P. can be approved by the City Council .
We are willing and eager to remove the offending third floor
loft. We are requesting your support of our request to
reconsider our C.D.P. denial and approve our revised home with
only two stories.
Failure to obtain a City Council reconsideration of our C.D.P.
will cause use great financial hardship and cost us needless time _
delay. All aspects of our plan have been approved by Staff and
the Planning Commission _ 100k. Removal of the loft brings our
plans into 100% total compliance with City Code. We do not seek
variance or exception, only approval of our C.D.P. so we can
proceed without additional needless expense and delay.
I would like to discuss the details of this request with you in
person. Please call me at (714) 846-4056 anytime at your
convenience so we can arrange a meeting before the meeting 16
April 1990.
Thank you in advance for your time and effort.
Sinc rel Sincerely,

Re: Appeal of Planning Commission Approval of
Conditional Use Permit No. 89-57
Coastal Development Permit No. 89-32
Mayor Mays and Members of the City Council, I am Manuel E. Perez, planner and licensed
architect,representing the appellants, Mr. William T. Dalessi and the Huntington Harbour
Property Owners Association. For the record, I would like to establish my credentials to
speak on this item. I am the immediate past chairman of the City of Long Beach Planning
Commission. I have been a member of, and chaired the City of Huntington Beach
Redevelopment Commission and Design Review Board. I have also served as the planner
for the City of Brea. Thus, I feel professionally qualified to speak on the subject before
. you.
The issue before you has been improperly reviewed by both staff and commission. The
appropriate action is to send the matter back to the commission for re-evaluation'and re-
hearing or to deny it. It cannot and should not be approved in its current state. It is not
surprising that your staff report discounts the reasoned appeal made by Mr. Dalessi and the
Huntington Harbour Property Owners Association. I am sure that they would like this
battle between neighbors to go away. However, the battle between neighbors has been
given greater import by the actions of the staff and commission. The way to diffuse the
potential explosion is to properly review and process the case. To do that you must send
the matter back for the commission and staff with the direction to properly consider the
issues of this case.
The issues are simple and should be of concern to you and your staff:
- The 452 angled parking is nor covered under the existing zoning ordinance and
therefore requires a change to the zoning code or a variance or "conditional
exception" for it to be approved. Furthermore, the applicant has not demonstrated
hardship or unusual conditions which would warrant their being granted this
approval which could be demanded by any other resident of Huntington Harbour.
i
The conditional use permit granted by the planning commission contains substantial
errors in fact. The commission's finding that '.'Privacy will not be affected as the
windows on the third story visible from the exercise loft face the street..." In fact
the windows face the garage and`entry of Mr. Dalessi. There are also numerous
other factual errors expressed by the staff and commission.
- Due to the many exceptions granted by the commission, it is incumbent upon the
City to adequately address the environmental impacts. The staff report states that
the appeal letter has taken the issue out of context. I offer that staff has taken a
conveniently limited and restrictive view of this issue. I suggest staff review
Section 15300.2 (b).on cumulative impacts, and 15300.2 (c) on significant effect. I
offer the opinion that the granting of a conditional exception under the guise of a
conditional use permit would have far-reaching and significant impacts upon the
City of Huntington Beach.
- The project, as approved by the planning commission, grants one individual, the
ability to build closer to the seawall than his neighbors. The project is contrary to
the CC&R's of the community in its front and seaside setbacks. I offer that in all of
these areas the project is in violation of the coastal development guidelines of the
City and the State.
I hope that the council will send the matter back to the planning commission or deny it
outright. The item before you has been improperly processed, heard and acted upon by
your commission. I hope that you rectify the error of your staff and commission by
requiring proper and appropriate review of this issue.

Huntington Beach Planning Commission
Huntington Beach, CA
Ladies and Gentlemen:
This letter is written on behalf of my wife , Dr. Alison
Locke and myself to express our unequivocal support on
behalf of Mr. and Mrs. John Briscoe regarding their
application to remodel their existing home on Ardsley
Circle, Huntington Beach, CA.
I wish first of all to make some general comments , then I
hope you will allow me the opportunity to make some
observations as a new American, a brain surgeon and
scientist, and as an ethnic minority.
I have had the opportunity and pleasure to meet the
Briscoes. They are a very fine, hard-working, kind and
elegant couple.
In their application to remodel their home, they have
followed every existing regulation and rule and have
complied in totality not only with the law, but in the
spirit of the law that exists in Huntington Harbor regarding
modifications , additionally, they have taken their plans to
most of the residents of Huntington Harbor who would be
impacted by their remodeling, and have explained in detail
their plans.
It is my understanding that . there are some people who
disapprove of the Briscoes' plans. Some of these
individuals I understand have not given the Briscoes the
opportunity to discuss their plans with them. This, in my
humble opinion, is unfair.
Let me now address you as a new American. I hear talk about
maintaining the `status quo' of the existing housing
structure plans in Huntington Harbor. Allow me to remind
you that this country of ours has become a great country for
many reasons; two of the most important reasons are that we
as Americans have insisted, and for the most part have
succeeded in advocating the rule of law.
J
PAGE 2
The Briscoes have followed the law, and to deny them the
opportunity to remodel their residence would not only be
unjust, it would be un-American.
Another reason that we as Americans have become so strong
as leaders of the space age, leaders .of medicine , economics
etc. , is that we have not been afraid to change the status
quo if the end results may be of greater benefit to the
larger body politic.
I look across the channel from my study and I can see the
Briscoes' home, and the fact is that the houses of
Huntington Harbor are tract homes . Some of us like to get
away from the tract-like appearance and modify our homes.
There' is no question in my mind that the modifications that
the Briscoes propose will enhance the scenery of the Harbor.
What is equally important is that their modification in no
way affects the view of anyone , certainly not of the channel
or the bay , which is why most of us purchase water-front
homes.
Might I remind you, honorable Commissioners , that on almost
every occasion that we Americans have insisted on the status
quo, that this has been to our detriment. For example, for
two decades , automotive engineers have advised us that we
must change our gas-guzzling cars , and change the shape and
quality of our cars. But we insisted on maintaining the
status quo, now the Japanese, the Germans and the Swedes
out-distance us. When we. Americans decided to change the
status quo, our cars have improved. This is just one
example of how detrimental the status quo can be to us.
Twenty-six years ago when I came to this country as a
foreign student to begin my neurosurgical training, I was
appalled at the injustice and racism that occurred openly in
this country. Many of us , young and old, black and white,
tall and short, fat and thin, journeyed to all parts of this
country to protest the status quo.
On a - personal note, I was twice beaten and have been thrown
in jail because of civil disobedience to demonstrate against
injustice and to encourage the rule of law. I have no
regrets for the pain that I suffered because, the status quo
was cruel , barbaric and un-American, and which of us today
would not agree that these efforts and pain and
determination by so many to insist on fairness and justice
and total respect for the law has not made this a better
land?
1
PAGE 3
As a neurological surgeon, there are procedures that I could
.not do ten years ago, because they were thought inoperable,
that was the status quo, but we as physicians and scientists
did not accept this . We plunged ahead and created new
tools and techniques so that now we perform some of those
"inoperable operations" , which today is of great benefit to
all of us .
I respect , the opinions of those who disapprove of the
modifications of the Briscoes' home because in a democratic
society, whilst we may not always agree with those that
dissent, their opinions should be heard and respected. It
appears to me that the Briscoe's have obtained the approval
and the blessings of the majority of the . residents of
Huntington Harbor. Since this is a. democratic country, I
implore. you to abide by the rule of law, and let us do the
truly neighborly and American thing, let the Briscoe's
modify their home, particularly since they have complied and
respected the laws and the ordinances and their plans. not
only enhances the scenery ( in our opinion) , but more
importantly, blocks no ones view.
As one who has fought injustice all of my life , in Europe,
the Caribbean and America, I recognize the absolute value of
freedom of expression, voting rights , and equality. These
are all guaranteed to all of us in the Constitution.
Almost two decades ago when my wife and I decided to migrate
to the United States, we chose this country because it is a
just country that proclaims equal justice for all , and
allows all of us the opportunity to equally express
ourselves . One of the most poignant, emotionally uplifting
experiences that we have had was on the first occasion that
we had the opportunity to vote as new Americans.. The
voting station was at the house of Dr. Richardson on Ardsley
Circle (please note that Professor Dr. Richardson has
approved the modifications) . They knew (the Richardson's )
that as new Americans this was our first opportunity to
vote, and they took time off from their duties to take
photographs of my wife and myself and some of the other
people in their home to celebrate this glorious event. That
was not only a neighborly act, that was the American way.
This is the Huntington Harbor that is forever seared with
gratitude and joy in our hearts.
My wife and I hope that you will approve-the remodeling
plans of the Briscoes. To do otherwise, in our opinion,
would not only be unfair, it would be unjust, and worst of
all , decidedly un-American.

Re: Residence for
John & Debbie Briscoe
16391 Ardsley Circle
Huntington Beach, CA
To The Honorable Tom Mays &
The City Council of Huntington Beach:
Ihave been engaged by John and Debbie Briscoe to review the
driveway design and several comments made by certain interested
parties.
I feel I can comment on these issues due to the fact that I am a
licensed Civil Engineer in the State of California (RCE #36655) ,
and possess a General Engineering (A) and General Building (B)
Contractors License (#382034) in this state.
In reviewing the driveway configuration, I feel that it is the
best possible design for a drive in a cul-de-sac, and for the
position of the house in its orientation to the street itself.
It forces the cars to egress and ingress in the natural flow of
traffic, i.e. counter clockwise in the cul-de-sac. As to safety
and general design, in my opinion, this is the best solution for
a cul-de-sac drive.
As to the issue of "folding" cars into a driveway, I cannot see
this being an issue; the plans that I have viewed show the
driveways are a straight shot into .the garages, not curved.
As to the issue of "stomping" landscape, the design shows 10,
wide drives for each car which for the average car being
6 ft wide, this gives 2 ft on each side for entering and existing
from the car. I doubt that any landscape destruction will occur.
Sincerely,
AR-CAL CORPORATION

Huntington Beach, CA 92648
Dear Mayor and City Council:
I am pleased and proud to have been a resident of Huntington
Beach during the 19801s. As a graduate of California State
University at Long Beach and a currently practicing industrial
engineer with Hewlett Packard I feel I am qualified to comment on
building design and safety.
Mr. and Mrs. Briscoe have asked me to review their plans as an
industrial and building safety expert. In this capacity I have
several comments to make regarding the Briscoe home remodel:
1. The proposed driveway configuration at the cul de sac end of
Ardsley Circle represents a unique design solution to a
difficult lot shape. On a curved circle all driveways will
meet in the center; there is no single "correct" exit angle.
Conclusion: The driveway is safe and represents good design.
2. The proposed walls and landscape barriers in the Briscoe
remodel plans prohibit any car from crossing over onto
neighboring properties; there is no possibility of trespass.
Conclusion: The driveway is safe and represents good design.
3. The proposed driveways will allow and permit a car to be
parked in front of each garage door on the driveway apron; in
addition to three parking spaces inside the garages for a
total of 5 (five) parking spaces.
Conclusion: The driveway is safe and represents good design.
As a former long time resident of Huntington Beach I believe the
overall proposed plans will be an asset to the community and add
value to neighboring homes.

Huntington Beach, CA
Ladies and Gentlemen:
This letter is written on behalf of my wife, Dr. Alison
Locke and myself to express our unequivocal support on
behalf of Mr. and Mrs. John Briscoe regarding their
application to remodel their existing home on Ardsley
Circle, Huntington Beach, CA.
I wish, first of all to make some general comments, then I
hope you will allow me the opportunity to make some
observations as a new American, a brain surgeon and
scientist, and as an ethnic minority.
I have had the opportunity and pleasure to meet the
Briscoe's. They are a very fine, hard-working, kind and
elegant couple.
In their application to remodel their home, they have
followed every existing regulation and rule and have
complied in totality not only with the law, but in the
spirit of the law that exists in Huntington Harbor regarding
modifications, additionally, they have taken their plans to
most of the residents of Huntington Harbor who would be
impacted by their remodeling, and have explained in detail
their plans.
It is my understanding that there are some people who
disapprove of the Briscoes' plans. Some of these
individuals I understand have not given the Briscoes the
opportunity to discuss their plans with them. This, in my
humble opinion, is unfair.
Let me now address you as a new American. I hear talk about
maintaining the `status quo' of the existing housing
structure plans in Huntington Harbor. Allow me to remind
you that this country of ours has become a great country for
many reasons; two of the most important reasons are that we
as Americans have insisted, and for the most part have
succeeded in advocating the rule of law.
i
NEIGHBOR SUPPORT
PAGE 2 16
The Briscoes have followed the law, and to deny them the
opportunity to remodel their residence would not only be
unjust, it would be un-American.
Another reason that we as Americans have become so strong
as leaders of the space age, leaders of medicine, economics
etc. , is that we have not been afraid to change the status
quo if the end results may be of greater benefit to the
larger body politic.
I look across the channel from my study and I can see the
Briscoes' home, and the fact is that the houses of
Huntington Harbor are tract homes. Some of us like to get
away from the tract-like appearance and modify our homes.
There is no question in my mind that the modifications that
the Briscoes propose will enhance the scenery of the Harbor.
What is equally important is that their modification in no
way affects the view of anyone, certainly not of the channel
or the bay. which is why most of us purchase water-front
homes.
Might I remind you, honorable Commissioners, that on almost
every occasion that we Americans have insisted on the status
quo, that this has been to our detriment. For example, for
two decades, automotive engineers have advised us that we
must change our gas-guzzling cars, and change the shape and
quality of our cars. But we insisted on maintaining the
status quo, now the Japanese, the Germans and the Swedes
out-distance us. When we Americans decided to change the
status quo, our cars have improved. This is just one
example of how detrimental the status quo can be to us.
Twenty-six years ago when I came to this country as a
foreign student to begin my neurosurgical training, I was
appalled at the injustice and racism that occurred openly in
this country. Many of us, young and old, black and white,
tall and short, fat and thin, journeyed to all parts of this
country to protest the status quo.
On a personal note, I was twice beaten and have been thrown
in jail because of civil disobedience to demonstrate against
injustice and to encourage the rule of law. I have no
regrets for the pain that I suffered because the status quo
was cruel , barbaric and un-American, and which of us today
would not agree that these efforts and pain and
determination by so many to insist on fairness and justice
and total respect for the law has not made this a better
land?

As a neurological surgeon, there are procedures that I could
not do ten years ago, because they were thought inoperable,
that was the status quo, but we as physicians and scientists
did not accept this. We plunged ahead and created new
tools and techniques so that now we perform some of those
"inoperable operations" , which today is of great benefit to
all of us.
I respect the opinions of those who disapprove of the
modifications of the Briscoes' home because in a democratic
society, whilst we may not always agree with those that
dissent, their opinions should be heard and respected. It
appears to me that the Briscoe's have obtained the approval
and the blessings of the majority of the residents of
Huntington Harbor. Since this is a democratic country, I
implore you to abide by the rule of law, and let us do the
truly neighborly and American thing, let the Briscoe's
modify their home, particularly since they have complied and
respected the laws and the ordinances and their plans not
only enhances the scenery (in our opinion) , but more
importantly, blocks no ones view.
As one who has fought injustice all of my life, in Europe,
the Caribbean and America, . I recognize the absolute value of
freedom of expression, voting rights, and equality. These
are all guaranteed to all of us in the Constitution.
Almost two decades ago when my wife and I decided to migrate
to the United States, we chose this country because it is a
just country that proclaims equal justice for all , and
allows all of us the opportunity to equally express
ourselves. one of the most poignant, emotionally uplifting
experiences that we have had was on the first occasion that
we had the opportunity to vote as new Americans. The
voting station was at the house of Dr. Richardson on Ardsley
Circle (please note that Professor Dr. Richardson has
approved the modifications) . They knew (the Richardson's)
that as new Americans this was our first opportunity to
vote, and they took time off from their duties to take
photographs of my wife and myself and some of the other
people in their home to celebrate this glorious event. That
was not only a neighborly act, that was the American way.
This is the Huntington Harbor that is forever seared with
gratitude and joy in our hearts.
My wife and I hope that you will approve the remodeling
plans of the Briscoes. To do otherwise, in our opinion,
would not only be unfair, it would be unjust, and worst of
all, decidedly un-American.

Mr. John Bowers
Staff Attorney Counsel
California Coastal Commission
631. Howard Street, Fourth Floor
San Francisco, Ca 94106
(415) 543-8555
Dear Mr. Bowers:
I am the owner of 16391 Ardsley Circle, Huntington Beach, CA
which has been approved for remodel under local CDP #89-32
(Commission Reference # 5-HNB-90-14) . There has been a serious
error in my permit process that must be corrected immediately.
Ms. Theresa Henry in my local South Coast Area California Coastal
Commission office has stated that you personally authorized a
change in administration of the law by the extension of my CDP
appeal period.
The City of Huntington Beach City Council/Redevelopment Agency
met on Monday 21 May 1990 to approve my CDP #89-32 . . This
approval was posted in City Council Meeting Minutes for public
viewing and comment; and the hearings were conducted in an open
public forum. My unanimous approval by City Council is a matter
of public record.
The City of Huntington Beach, through the offices of City Clerk
sent notice of approval to the South Coast Area Coastal
Commission on 25 May 1990. The local office lost this notice and
refuses to acknowledge receipt, and the Huntington Beach City
Clerk failed to obtain proof of delivery.
A corrected copy was sent 30 May 1990. A third corrected copy
was sent 31 May 1990. In each and every case the fact of City of
Huntington Beach City Council approval effective 21 May 1990 was
clearly indicated.
In a form letter dated 15 June 1990 the South Coast Area Coastal
California Commission admits to receipt of "local action on
coastal development permit #CDP 89-32 . The admitted date of
receipt is stated to be 1 June 1990. The proper and correct
legal appeal period would then extend ten working days from 1
June 1 to 14 June 1990.
According to the City of Huntington Beach in a public notice
published in reference to PRC S. 30603 that " . . .The appeal period
begins when the Commission receives this notice of action and
continues for ten (10) working days. . .Applicants are advised not
to begin construction prior to that date. "
T
The letter dated 15 June 1990 from the South Coast Area
Commission sets an appeal period that extends from date of
receipt 1 June 1990 until 25 June 1990. This arbitrary,
capricious and selective extension of appeal date beyond the
legal allowed ten working days is unacceptable. It is not in the
purview of administrative agencies to make-up new law on-the-spot
that abrogates legal guarantees specified in the code.
There is no compelling public interest in the arbitrary extension
of my appeal period. City of Huntington Beach approval of CDP
89-32 is a matter of extensive public record. Notice of appeal
period is a matter of public record through the "Notice of
Action" letters sent 25 May, 30 May, and 31 May 1990. The
selective and random assignment of appeal periods based on when
local offices get around to sending out letters is unacceptable.
ACTION REQUESTED
1. I demand that the proper and legal ten (10) day appeal period
be reinstated to run from date of receipt 1 June to 14 June 1990.
This must be confirmed with a corrected copy of "Notification of
Appeal Period" to be mailed by the South Coast Area California
Coastal Commission as soon as possible.
2. I request your acknowledgement of source responsibility for
the legal opinion that authorized extension of appeal deadline on
my CDP 89-32. In the event that you did not issue the opinion
please direct notify me of the source of the authorization.
3 . I demand a written legal opinion citing rationale and basis
for allowing capricious appeal period extensions for the South
Coast Area Commission office in general and my CDP 89-32 in
specific. You must cite California State law and precedents.
'ncerely,
J hn F. Briscoe

Dear Connie:
At the 7 May City Council meeting you may recall that I
protested having three letters from Mr. Briscoe (totally
unrelated to the Council topic at hand) entered into the
record and distributed to each Council person without
rebuttal . This is particularly so since I claimed that the
statements in the Briscoe letters were distortions of the
, truth, and contained inflamatory untruths.
I was pleased that the Council granted me the right and
/ opportunity to enters my letters, in response to Briscoe, .
|
into the same records.
�
Attached are my 4 response letters. I would appreciate your
duplicating them and distributing them to each Council
person, plus one for your records.
Sorry to put you to this extra work, and I do thank you.

A:\EXECSESN (Executive Session) =_ y
T
Dear Mr. Selvin: `_
This letter is to confirm the contents and conduct of the HHPOA
meeting 2 May 1990.
CLOSED MEETINGS
After my wife Debbie and I requested HHPOA action on the gas station
violation of City Environmental and Public Works Code you called the
entire meeting into Executive Session. Without provocation you then
kicked out ORLY John and Debbie Briscoe. You allowed 4 other members-
at-large to remain including my neighbor Bill Dalessi.
In a gross misuse of Robert's Rules of Order you called the entire
meeting into secret Executive Session. The use of Executive Session
to conduct normal and routine business behind closed doors is unusual
to say the least; you errored in citing City Council Study Sessions as
your precedent. Study Sessions are not used for routine business and
voting on public matters. The City Council meets in public, publishes
public agendas, and makes decisions open to the public.
MEETING AGENDA & MINUTES
After repeated requests .by phone and in writing for meeting agendas
and meeting minutes the Board of Directors has failed to make these
available. This kind of conduct can only .lead to the conclusion:
a. Committee Meetings (Architectural Review Committee) are
held in secret, -unscheduled and unannounced sessions.
b. Committee proceedings are presented to secret and closed
"Executive Session" Board of Directors meetings.
c. Minutes are published and kept secret from members even
after requests by phone and in writing.
d. Agendas are not made available to members on request
which makes it impossible to speak on specific topics.
e. Architectural Review Committee decisions regarding the
homes in the harbour are kept secretly hidden away from
any public or HHPOA member examination.
NORMAL & OPEN CONDUCT
Secret meetings and hidden decisions are not the norm for our American
democratic organizations and institutions. I request that you open up
our HHPOA to the "sunshine of daylight. " Meetings must be conducted
in open view of the public and published minutes must be made
available to members of the HHPOA.

Dear Mr. Adams:
The Huntington Beach City Council has been generous in granting
us the opportunity to have our Coastal Development Permit (CDP
89-32) reconsidered. We look forward to a speedy review of our
revised plans without the third floor loft.
We believe that our revised plans meet both the letter and the
spirit of the law embodied in our City Building Codes . By
meeting all code requirements should assure approval of our. CDP
,89-32 . I would like to emphasize our intention to meet all
building codes; we ask for neither use variances nor exceptions
in our proposed home remodel plans.
Our plans have been subjected to multiple reviews and approvals
by Staff, Planning Commission, and City Council . The only
possible area discretionary judgement ( 3rd floor loft CUP) has
been removed. Since all other aspects of the plan have passed
this lengthy, costly and exhaustive review process I would like
to request the City Council condition CDP 89-32 approval on your
review as final- and binding. Anything less would cause us
additional needless expense and time in a process we have already
passed through.
I hereby request that CDP 89-32 approval by the City Council be
subject to review and approval by the Director of Community
Development Mike Adams. This review will assure compliance with
City Code and his decisions will be final and binding.
Thank you for your assistance.

A:\MISSMEET (Missing Meeting Minutes)
Dear Mr. Selvin:
This letter is to confirm the contents of our phone conversation
regarding errors, omissions, and corrections of HHPOA meeting
minutes as required under State of California Corporation law.
HHPOA minutes must represent an accurate and complete record of
business conducted by,the Board of Directors and Committees.
1. On 7 March 1990, as one of the first orders of business in
the regular meeting of the HHPOA, Norm Smith called for a motion
to, " . . .deny John and Debbie Briscoe the right to speak during
the meeting. " HHPOA President Norm Smith called for the question
and received a unanimous voice vote acclamation approval by the
Board of Directors approval without dissent.
This vote was missing from the minutes presented at the 4 April
1990 meeting; acting President Joe Rosen was asked to correct the
r, omission at the conclusion of the meeting.
2. On 7 March 1990, the Board of Directors approved a motion to
share expenses in collusion with William Dalessi for testimony by
Mannie Perez. The vote and discussion allowed Mannie to testify
before the City Council with a spending cap not more then
$200.00.
On 4 April 1990 during the regular HHPOA meeting, acting
President Joe Rosen submitted a motion to pay the invoice bill as
submitted by Mannie Perez in full. John Briscoe, attending
member at large, asked for disclosure of the amount and was
informed $900.00. J. Briscoe stated that $900.00 was much larger
then the approved amount; the recording secretary then asked Joe
Rosen, "Do I have to put his comments in the minutes, he wasn't
even invited to attend this meeting!" =Joe Rosen then ruled
attending member J. Briscoe out of order.
3 . On 4 April 1990 a Board of Director member raised the
question of taking an official vote by the Board to be on record
as opposed to all third floor additions. Acting President Joe
Rosen stated that this would not be wise since there might be
some occasions where a third floor could be approved and that the
Board should not pass such a motion. The motion died for lack of
a second after Joe Rosen's co ents.

A:\OPENQST (Open Issues/Questions)
Dear Mr. Selvin:
This letter is to confirm status of answered questions regarding
conduct of my HHPOA and renew my request for missing information.
For your review, I have attached copies of my original letters.
1. This confirms your statements that Architectural Review
Committee (ARC) meetings are unscheduled, unannounced and closed
to everybody including home owners with plans under
consideration. Further, you have refused to reveal and make
public any decisions made by the ARC; all plan approvals,
exceptions, and denials are held to be secret and only revealed
to the property owner. Repeated requests to see the 140
decisions Joe-Rosen- claimed the ARC made in 1989 have been
absolutely denied.
2. I have requested access to review the minutes of the Board of
Directors for the Huntington Harbour Property Owners Association.
This access has been denied and delayed and deferred and to date
I have not been allowed to see the minutes of my own HHPOA.
3. You have told me that I am not allowed to attend my own HHPOA
meeting as a member at large; and that I must petition and
request permission for the privilege to attend and speak during
the meeting. Further, when I notified you I would attend the
meeting of 2 May 1990 you told me by phone that I could present
my request. And then you went further to tell me that I would be
asked/directed to leave the meeting. The Board of Directors
meeting would then be-:closed to me and all other members not on
the Board of Directors.
Again let me, assure you that I believe the HHPOA has a valuable
role in my community. And I firmly belive in "sunshine meeting
conduct" where everything is open and above-board. Secret and
clandestine activities that violate the spirit of open public
accountability are a serious violation of trust.

1. The remodel addition to an existing two-story single family
residence with a third floor as proposed does not conform with
the plans, policies, requirements, and standards of the Coastal
Element to the General Plan with respect to compatibility to
surrounding properties.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Uphold the Planning Commission action and approve Coastal
Development Permit No. 89-32 with findings and conditions of
approval as shown on Attachment No. 2.
ANALYSIS:
On February 21, 1990, the Planning Commission approved the
applicant ' s request for an addition to an existing single family
home including a third story. This action was subsequently appealed
by the Huntington Harbour Homeowners Association.
The applicant ' s plans have been modified to replace the third floor
which was denied by the City Council as a part of Conditional use
Permit No. 89-57 with a roof deck. Additionally, the new setback
adjacent to the bulkhead has been modified to show a minimum of 10
feet. This will help to preserve existing views of Christiana Bay
from adjacent properties .
COASTAL STATUS
The proposed project is adjacent to Short Channel and is within an
appealable/non-categorical exclusion area of the Coastal Zone. All
projects within this zone are required to obtain approval of a
coastal development permit in compliance with the provisions
contained within Article 989 . 5 .
The project as resubmitted complies with all development standards
contained within the Huntington Beach Ordinance Code and is
consistent with the City' s adopted Coastal Element.
ENVIRONMENTAL STATUS:
The proposed project is categorically exempt pursuant to Section
15303, Class 3 , of the California Environmental Quality Act.

Mr. Briscoe:
This letter is in response to your letter dated May 1, 1990.
A letter to you from the writer dated March 6, 1990 endeavored to
answer the many requests and demands in your 4 different letters to
Mr. Joe Rosen, the HHPOA ARC Chairman, each dated Jan 27, 1990.
Read the March 6 letter again.
I must refuse to accept that your May 1 letter confirms the status
of anything, and repudiate your statements in your letter as, at the
least inaccurate, and perhaps even dishonest in places.
All 3 of your numbered paragraphs in your letter contains partial or
distorted statements, extracted from the more complete facts
previously given to you, and lead to your wrong statements and
conclusions .
Additionally, you seriously mis-stated the things you said to me and
that I said to you in our telephone conversations of 4/23, 4/24 and
4/26 with respect to your attending an HHOA Board of Directors
meeting, and I personally resent this bending of, and ignoring, the
truth to suit your own (unknown) objectives.
The HHPOA, not Your HHPOA, has operated for many years with full
support and approval of the general membership. It has earned the
respect of the community, and continues to do so. It has operated
within the guidelines of its by-laws. Your barrage of demands,
blatantly distorted statements and letters, and telephone
calls--despite our efforts to treat you with courtesy and
respect--has become disruptive and annoying, and has consumed time
disproportionate to its value.
Isn't there something more positive and constructive that you can
use your time for?

Mr. Briscoe:
This letter is in response to your second letter dated May 1, 1990, in
which you referred to ". . .the contents of our phone conversation. ."
etc.
It is unfortunate that you persist in distorting facts and extracting
partial facts to reach your desired end.
The minutes of the HHPOA Board of Directors meeting are reviewed by the
Board members, corrected if necessary, and then voted into the record.
We feel that the minutes are complete and accurate.
You reference the 7 March meeting of the Board, and quote the then
president, but you are very inaccurate in your quote. You were told by
the president that you were at a Board meeting, NOT a general
membership meeting, and that the Chair would afford you the privilege
of staying at the meeting provided that you did. not address the Chair
or the Board, and were silent. There was no motion or vote on this
topic since none was needed.
You insisted on attending the 4 April Board meeting, and were again
reminded of your situation, as at the 7 March meeting. Your letter
states ". . .the regular HHPOA meeting. . .". It was not. The meeting was
an HHPOA Board meeting, but you know that and choose to ignore facts.
You were out of order again in speaking out. Your conduct was
disruptive.
The vote by the Board to pay Mr. Perez invoice was proper. Mr. Perez
was retained to help the Board in its appeal before the Huntington
Beach City Council against two three story house CUP's.
To accuse the Board of Directors of acting ". .in collusion. ." with Mr.
Dalessi is despicable and a lie. We have acted to support several
large groups in the Harbour in opposition to two three story additions,
and Mr. Dalessi is a part of one of the groups.
I agree with the Board action in not passing a motion for categorical
opposition to ALL three story homes or third story additions in the
Harbour.
We hope this letter sets the record straight with more complete facts.
Won't you please do the same in future correspondence?

Mr. Briscoe:
Reference your letter of 3 May, to which I am replying. You did NOT
confirm the . ."contents and conduct of the HHPOA meeting of 2 May,
1990."
The meeting you attended on 2 May was NOT, as you state, an IHPOA
meeting. It was a meeting of the Board of Directors of HHPOA. You are
not a member of the Board. You do not have the freedom to attend such
meetings unless invited by the president.
The true facts are not as you reported them. They are:
Immediately after the Board meeting was convened, and the roll taken to
confirm a quorum, the Chair announced the presence of four guests
invited by the chair for the purpose of their being considered for
committee or Board membership. The Chair also advised the Board that
Mr. Briscoe had been invited by the Chair at his request specifically
and only to tell us of a property maintenance problem at the gas
station at the corner of Algonquin and Davenport.
The chair acknowledged Mr. Briscoe, who told the Board of his perceived
problem that required action. After a brief discussion, the Chair
turned the Briscoe matter over to the Property Maintenance Committee to
investigate, to act on or report back to the Board at the next Board
meeting.
At that time the chair advised Mr. Briscoe that he had no further
business before the board, and he was to leave. The chair advised
Briscoe of the related portion of the HHPOA By-Laws that mandated that
the Board of Directors, under the By-Laws, operates under Roberts Rules
of Order. The pertinent section of Roberts Rules was read to Briscoe,
wherein it was described that Board of Directors meetings are normally
conducted as "Executive Session", closed to all except as invited by
the Chair for some specific purpose, and only for that purpose.
The chair again asked Briscoe to leave. Out of order, Briscoe asked
any board member to invite him to stay. Out of courtesy, the Chair
permitted the Briscoe request to stand. There was over 30 seconds of
silence, with no Board member replying. The chair again instructed
Briscoe to leave, which he did with mumbled threats and protests.
SPY
SELVIN to Briscoe--May 11, 1990--Page 2
Mr Bill Dalessi, who had been invited by the chair, immediately asked
to be excused and left the meeting.
There was no reason for the chair to call the meeting into executive
session, and I did not. It already was. I did not cite Huntington
Beach City Council procedures, others did. The HHPOA is not the City
Council. The HHPOA is not a governmental agency, nor is it subject to
"Brown Act" rules. The HHPOA operates in accordance with its legally
registered California corporation By-Laws.
The chair did not err in its procedures or rulings, and you should
stick to ethical reporting of the facts, not the way you wish they
were. Don't lecture us about things you are so twisted about that you
will not listen or learn.
You write of Meetings and Minutes:
My letter to you of March 6 covers the points you try to make. Please
read it and the HHPOA By-Laws again. You will find that your statements
in your May 3 letter are not truthful, and since you keep repeating the
same groundless complaints and accusations letter after letter, many
people feel that you are only writing to harass the organization. This
must stop!
Normal and Open Conduct is your next section of lecture and complaint:
I really don't like to get lectures from a biased pedant who seems to
only know how to distort the truth, lie, and not contribute a positive
thing.

Mr. John Briscoe
16391 Ardsley Circle
Huntington Beach, CA 92649
Dear Mr. Briscoe:
At the February meeting of the Huntington Harbour Property
Owners Association (HHPOA) Board of Directors there was a
discussion of the several requests for information which you
had sent to Mr. Norman Smith, HHPOA President, and Mr. Joseph
Rosen, Chairman of the HHPOA's Architectural Review Committee
(ARC)
I was requested to reply to your requests, in the context of
the Board's discussion and agreement. Since there is overlap
and duplication in some of the letters, I am taking the
liberty of consolidating the responses in the. interest of
brevity. The following should answer your questions and
requests:
You asked for a copy of the HHPOA By-Laws. The rules of order
you referred to are referenced within the By-Laws. This
document is available to any member who requests one. A copy
is attached.
The HHPOA Articles of Incorporation may be made available for
your inspection by your contacting the President of the
HHPOA, who will try to arrange a mutually convenient time.
You have been provided with the names and addresses of the
members of the ARC. Telephone numbers are not provided,
because we feel that contacts should be through the Chairman
of the ARC. We do not encourage individual homeowners who
have an action before the ARC to individually "lobby" ARC
members.
The ARC reports to the Board of Directors of the HHPOA, as
stated in the By-Laws ; not directly to the general HHPOA
membership. The ARC meetings are not regularly scheduled,
but are held when- particular issues arise, plans are
submitted that require review, or other matters need ARC
review or action. At least two of the three members meet on
such topics. Meetings can be as frequent as several times a
week, or spaced by a month or more, as the circumstances
dictate.
copy -�,�.a.cd 'I
HHPOA--BRISCOE--March 6, 1990--Page 2
The general ARC philosophy with respect to proposed building
construction and modification plans is that "the submitted
plans speak for themselves". Therefore we prefer that
homeowners not attend ARC meetings. The ARC Chairman does
accept telephone calls from homeowners and the ARC tries to
make it easy and comfortable to work with us. When plans are
not clear, or we are uncertain of some detail in the plans,
we contact the homeowner directly, and visit the homeowner,
preferably at the homesite. Topics of uncertainty or possible
conflict with the CC&Rs can be discussed and usually
resolved. This is what the ARC attempted to do when two ARC
members visited you at your home and reviewed your plans with
you on Jan. 13, 1990.
Letters of approval or denial are sent by the ARC directly to
the homeowner after such review, and on-site meetings if such
are required.
I should add that any homeowner who has a particular topic to
present or discuss with the Board of Directors may request
permission to attend a Board meeting by contacting the
President of the HHPOA and explaining his desires and
topic(s) . We try to accommodate such requests and set aside
agenda time whenever possible.
We hope the above material answers the questions and requests
contained in your letters, and helps you understand how the
HHPOA and its ARC operate.
I was pleased to hear from you in our telephone conversation
of March 4 that your plans presently being revised for
submission to the Huntington Beach planning board will show
that you do not plan to expand you house toward the bulkhead
line, and that it will remain at least 10 feet back from the
bulkhead line.
Sincerely,
AS�#aldlvin, Secr.

CITY OF HUNTINGTON BEACH
�. INTER-DEPARTMENT COMMUNICATION
HUNTINGTON BEACH
Michael T. Uberuaga, Mike Adamsi°
To City Administrator From Director,
Community Development
Subject TIHRD STORY ADDITIONS Date April 16, 1990
IN HUNTINGTON HARBOUR
This memorandum is in response to conversations I have had with Councilpersons Winchell
and Green concerning a request for reconsideration of Council action on the Briscoe
application (for a third story addition at 16391 Ardsley Circle).
Staff can support a reconsideration of the Coastal Development Permit application due
to the fact that the standard coastal findings for approval can be made. This project will
not have a detrimental effect on the existing infrastructure nor impede public access or
recreational activities. The project is also consistent with the City's General plan and
Coastal Element as the request is to retain a single family residence.
Action for reconsideration of the Coastal Development Permit will not, in and of itself,
allow for any expansion to the existing dwelling but rather allow the proponent to keep
his application active and provide him with an opportunity to redesign his submittal in an
effort to comply with City codes.
The extent and nature of the redesign may or may not trigger the requirement of a
conditional use permit which would then be subject to another public hearing.
This item was one of two such projects acted upon at the Council hearing of.April 2,
1990. These projects are:
1. Conditional Use Permit No. 89-57 & Coastal Development Permit No. 89-32
2. Conditional Use Permit No. 89-25 & Coastal Development Permit No. 90-1).
If Council does take a reconsideration vote for the first item, it may be appropriate to
include both projects.
Action for reconsideration of this item should be scheduled for the next available City
Council meeting.

Re : Appeal of Planning Commission Action - 16391 Ardsley Circle
CUP 89/57 , CDP 89-32
Hearing Scheduled April 2 , 1990
Dear Mayor and Council Members:
The Huntington Harbour Property Owners Association (HHPOA)
supplements its letter of March 5 , 1990 , Appeal from Planning
Commission Action CUP 89-57/Coastal Development Permit 89-32 , by
providing the following information supporting our request for
your denial of subject permits .
In August of 1989 , Mr . John Briscoe, current owner of the property
located at 16391 Ardsley Circle , submitted an incomplete set of
,plans to the Architectural Review Committee (ARC) of the HHPOA
and requested that the plans be reviewed. By letter dated
September 25 , 1989 (copy attached) , the ARC disapproved Mr.
Briscoe ' s plans stating that they were in violation of the CC&Rs .
Mr . Briscoe' s letter of December 29 , 1989 (copy attached) ,
ignores the ARC ' s September 25 , 1989, letter and claims that his
plans were approved. The ARC letter of January 4, 1990 (copy
attached) , advises Mr. Briscoe that his plans were disapproved
and were improperly submitted . On January 13, 1990 , Mr . Briscoe
submitted a revised incomplete set of plans to the ARC for
review. This revised set was also disapproved by ARC' s letter of
January 29 , 1990 (copy attached) . Notwithstanding his submittal
of a revised set of drawings and all of the correspondence
included herewith, 11r. Briscoe stubbornly maintains the position
that the plans for remodeling his residence on Ardsley Circle
have been approved by the ARC. Nothing could be further from the
truth.
What is true, however, is that when Mr . Briscoe purchased his
dwelling in Huntington Harbour he became legally obligated to
observe, perform and be bound. by the CC&Rs. Now, Mr . Briscoe is
seeking aid from the City of Huntington Beach in the form of a
v
-1- \
Conditional Use Permit strengthening his resolve to break the
obligation to abide by the CC&Rs.
The CC&Rs were legally recorded with the Orange County Recorder
by the developers of Huntington Harbour in the early 1960s . The
purpose of the CC&Rs is to assure the proper use and appropriate
and uniform development and improvement of Huntington Harbour
property. For more than twenty-five years the property owners in
Huntington Harbour have reasonably respected the conditions and
restrictions set forth in the CC&Rs. However, in recent years
with the value of Huntington Harbour property increasing
significantly, speculators have been acquiring homes , remodeling
to maximize profits and then reselling the homes . This activity
has given rise to the receipt of more and more complaints by the
HHPOA from the concerned residents of the community. They are
crying that enough is enough and they will not stand for it any
longer. They are insisting that the HHPOA take action to stop
the construction and remodeling of homes that are not in
compliance with the CC&Rs.
In view of the demands being made by our property owners , HHPOA
sent out over 2800 questionaires polling the owners on their
views of three story developments in the Harbour. While the poll
could not be completed by this writing the results so far
indicate that 787 do not want any three story homes in the
Harbour, 12% would consider three story home under certain
conditions and 10a believe three story homes are appropriate. Of
the 127 that would consider three story homes under certain
conditions , the most common conditions stated were: 1 ) the home
was subject to the neighbors ' approval, 2) the three story
residence would not interfere with anyone' s view . In other
words, the conditions placed on approval of third stories would
virtually exclude third story construction making the number of
property owners not wanting three story homes adding up to over
90%. We hope that final results of the poll will be available by
the April 2 , 1990 , meeting whereupon they will be made available
to the Council.
Article 9110 . 4 (a) ( 1) of the Huntington. Beach Ordinance Code
requires that the Planning Commission consider the safety and
welfare of surrounding residents prior to approving a Conditional
Use Permit (CUP) . The poll taken (see paragraph supra) would
indicate that neither the welfare nor the safety of our
surrounding residents have been considered .
Article 9110 . 4 (a) (3) requires that the Planning Commission
consider the age and anticipated permanence of buildings on
adjacent properties prior to approving a CUP . For the most part ,
the buildings surrounding 16391 Ardsley Circle are one and two
story homes . Our poll results to date indicate overwhelmingly
that three story homes are not desireable in this community and
that third story remodeling is not contemplated by the vast
majority of our neighbors . Our CC&Rs exclude the construction of
three story homes leading us to seek legal relief in the event
that the Council does not recognize the stated wishes of our
community .
Article 9110 . 4 (a) (4) requires that the Planning Commission
consider any other criteria it deems necessary to preserve the
health, safety, welfare and convenience of the neighborhood. It
is conceivable that the Commission was mislead by Mr. Briscoe ' s
Neighborhood Petition wherein Mr . Briscoe obtained the signatures
of 33 residents of the Harbour representing approximately 19
households stating that they approved the proposed plans submitted
by Mr. Briscoe . It was '_earned later that man; of the signatures
obtained by Mr. Briscoe were obtained under false pretenses .
Some of the signatories to Mr. Briscoe ' s petition stated that
they signed the petition because they were informed that Mr .
Briscoe changed the plans and eliminated all of the objections by
all of the neighbors . After learning that most all of the
neighbors still objected to Mr. Briscoe ' s plans and that he did
nothing to eliminate the objections , many of the signatories
signed a new petition prepared by the neighbors repudiating their
previous signatures and confirming their objection to Mr .
Briscoe ' s plans. Mr. and Mrs . Kramer did not sign the petition,
but did send a separate letter to the Mayor and City Council, a
copy of which is attached .
Nevertheless, whether the Commission was mislead or not , it is
clear now that the residents of the community of Huntington
Harbour do not want any more three story single family residences
in their community . We ask you, our elected representative, in
view of Article 9110 . 4 (a) to respect the rights and judgement of
our community by overturning the Planning Commission' s action and
denying the Conditional Use Permit NO . 89-57 and Coastal
Development Permit No. 89-32 .

Dear Mr. Rosen:
I am pleased to confirm my residence and home ownership in Huntington
Harbour, at 16391 Ardsley Circle. After consultation with my attorney
Mr. Jerome M. Bame, I am writing this letter to affirm my rights under
the terms of Limitations, Covenants, Conditions, and Restrictions and
Reservations affecting my home.
This letter is to confirm your receipt of my home remodeling plans 30
August 1989. My wife, Debbie Briscoe handed you our home plans in the
front yard of your home located at 16915 Edgewater Lane 30 August
1989, which initiated the waiting period covered under the terms of
Clause IV Section 18 subsection (b) . This section states "If notice
of disapproval is not so sent, the plans and specifications. . . .shall
be deemed to have been approved by the Architectural Review
Committee. . . " The Committee has sent no notice of disapproval, hence
my building plans are approved.
Let me commend you and your committee on your wise decision not to
undermine the City of Huntington Beach building codes. Your personal
inspection of my home apparently revealed the obvious violations of
City and Huntington Harbour "CC&R" codes by my neighbors on all sides.
Your wise decision to let the City enforce building standards under
the power of City law was a good one.
Additionally, I applaud how you carefully read Clause IV Section 24
wherein you are charged with " . . .the right and privilege to permit the
owner of any lot. . .to deviate from any or all of the Covenants. . . "
Further, you are charged with an important responsibility to make your
decisions " . . .without the consent of owners of other lots. . . " (Clause
IV Section 24) .
I will submit my landscape plans after we have built our basic home in
order that our landscape architect can correctly design plant
locations to building size.
Thank you again for your help and support in the construction of our
home. If you have any questions please call (714)846-4056 or write.
Let me compliment you on the progress of your home; it is certainly
another beautiful large-scale home addition to our Huntington Harbour.
Sincerely,
l

Dear Mr. Briscoe:
Re; Your letter dated 29 Dec. 1989:
Pleased be advised that the Huntington Harbour Property Owners
Association (HHPOA) sent a letter dated September 25, 1989, to you
at 16391 Ardsley Circle. In this Letter the Architectural Review
Committee (ARC) of the HHPOA disapproved the plans which you
submitted to the ARC on 30 August, 1989, for the reasons stated
therein. A copy of this letter is enclosed herewith.
Additionally, it is brought to my attention that at the time you
submitted the plans you were not the owner of the property on
Ardsley Circle. Plans submitted for ARC consideration in
accordance with the CC&Rs must be submitted by the property owner
or his duly authorized agent.
Further, as you were advised during a telephone conversation a
complete set of plans is required prior to any approval by the
ARC. Since you did not submit a complete set of plans on 30
August, and in fact have not submitted a complete set to this
date, even if you were the property owner the 30 day rule would
not take effect until the missing plans and specifications were
submitted.
If you are now in fact the owner of 16391 Ardsley Circle and wish
to submit a set of plans conforming to the Limitations, Covenants ,
Conditions , Restrictions and Reservations affecting your Property
we will be pleased to review them.
Sincerely,

Mr. John Briscoe

Dear Mr. Briscoe:
Please reference the HHPOA letter of September 25, 1989, wherein you
were advised that the plans submitted by you on August 30, 1989 would
not meet the set back provisions of the Declaration of Limitations,
Covenants , Conditions , Restrictions and Reservations (CC&Rs) applicable
to your property at the above address .
After reviewing the plans which you offered to J. Selvin and myself on
13 Jan. 1990, the Architectural Review Committee finds that this
offering fails to correct the setback violations as stated in
referenced letter. Further, it now appears that set back requirements
have not been met on both the street side and water side of the
residence.
Additionally, we continue to find that the third floor (loft) is out of
keeping with the general intent to maintain two story residences in the
area and would not be harmonious with other residences on Ardsley
Circle.
Consistent with our findings both in the referenced letter and herein
the Architectural Review Committee cannot approve your plans as
submitted.
Sincerely,

Concerning Appeal from Planning Commission Action

Please be advised that we signed a petition for John Briscoe
approving his .house plan upon being told by Mr. Briscoe that
he had revised the plan to meet the requirements of his next-
door neighbor and that except for Mr. and Mrs. Noring whom
he said objected because of the traffic going up and down
Ardsley Circle, and Mr. and Mrs. Larry Webster whom they had
been unable to contact, they had the approval of all the neigh-
bors.
We find that this is not -true and, had we known the true facts ,
we would not have signed his petition.
Please withdraw our names as supporte s of his project because
we oppose it in its present form.

Dear Mayor and City Council : `w = '`
This letter directly answers each issue and concern raised irl tue
5 March 1990 letter requesting an appeal to the City Plannir
Commission unanimous 7 to 0 approval of our home plans. In
addition, this letter will address accusations against Staff
reprimanding them with accusations of failure to perform their
jobs with due diligence.
Debbie and I have purchased and moved into our home on Ardsley
Circle in 1989. We had plans developed for remodeling our home
in April 1989 and showed these same plans to our neighbors
William (Bill) and Margo Dalessi. William (Bill) T. Dalessi Is.
a high-powered influential attorney in Long Beach. Using his
position as a lawyer, Bill has consistently opposed new buildings
on Ardsley Circle over the past few years and our home is no
exception. Unfortunately for Bill, he has failed to demonstrate
any basis in City of Huntington Beach code or law for denial of
our building permit. After his most recent loss in front of the
Planning Commission, Bill has persuaded the Huntington Harbour
Property Owners Association (H.H.P.O.A. ) to pay for his efforts
in front of the City Council. Bill has somehow persuaded thb
H.H.P.O.A. into violation of their own By-Laws that require total
compliance with all City laws. Bill and the H.H.P.O.A. are using
member dues to pay for testimony that contradicts City code and
violates H.H.P.O.A. By-Laws.
And now William T. Dalessi, attorney at law, has produced a three.
page appeal filled with many claims and accusations. Our letter
will address each issue, item by item.
We look forward to the City Council sustaining the unanimous
approval from Staff and Planning Commission. Thank you.

Re: Appeal of Planning commission Action - 16391 Ardsley Circle
CUP 89/57 CDP 89-32
Hearing Scheduled April 2 , 1990
My neighbors, and I, have appealed the action of the Planning
Commission approving the above project. We are supportive of
reasonable remodeling, rehabilitation and additions to the homes
in Huntington Harbour. However, we are dismayed by the apparent
.lack of concern shown by the Planning Commission to our existing
Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions , and to the Zoning Code
regulations of the City of Huntington Beach. This wanton
disregard for the explicit laws , rules and regulations of our
community will result in the destruction of a beautiful and
desirable community amenity, spacious dock-side homes with indoor
and outdoor living and entertainment areas. Oursis not a
community which needs to have its homes built to the excessive
maximum proposed by our neighbors , Mr. and Mrs. Briscoe.
There are three issues which you must consider: 1) the lack of
environmental review of the proposed project, 2) the conditional
use permit regarding the third story, and 3) the "conditional
exception" or "variance" for the oddly designed driveways. The
key issues are as follows :
1 . The .project was not reviewed for its potential impact on
the environment . A "categorical exception" should not be applied
to this proposed project which stretches the bounds of reason in
planning and environmental impact. they should be required to
prepare required environmental documents such as an Environmental
Impact Report, Focused EIR or Negative declaration. The house,
as designed, will encroach into the established set-back lines
from the bulkhead line, it will also be casting permanent shadows
on my southerly property line. Their driveway, as proposed, will
necessitate crossing over my driveway and running the full length
of the sidewalk in front of my home to park their cars. These
are all foreseeable impacts which should be discussed in an
environmental document.
I 2. The City of Huntington Reach Zoning Code (Section 9110. 4 )
allows a maximum building height of 30 feet and/or 3 stories
provided that :
" (a) The proposed building shall not have a detrimental
effect on the general health, safety, welfare or privacy of
surrounding residents . . . "
" (b) The location, site plan and building design shall be
harmonious and compatible with the streets, driveways ,
property lines, and surrounding neighborhood. . "
It is my belief that neither or these conditions have been met, or
even addressed, in the Planning Commission approval. obviously,
the proposed project does have a detrimental effect on us, the
surrounding residents , and the proposed design is not harmonious
or compatible with the surrounding neighborhood. It is my belief
that Conditional Uses should only be approved when there is a
compelling reason for their being allowed. If they are simply to
be automatically granted, then why would you need to have a
conditional use?
3. The approval of the driveway design can only be done as a
"Conditional Exception" (variance) . This major deviation from
the established standards of the Zoning and Subdivision Codes
requires that the applicant show why complying with the existing
standards is not possible or would deny them a basic right
enjoyed by others in this same zone. The proposed design attempts
to obtain rights which others in the same area do not have. The
enclosed sketches show the difficulties foisted on my property if
this variance were to be approved. This is not a request to have
the same rights as the neighbors , but a blatant attempt to obtain
unique rights .
In addition, the applicant proposes to build a cantilever deck
across the entire water-side property line. The City' s
regulations limit the amount of coverage to 80% . This proposed
deck appears to extend across the entire bulkhead, with the
exception of the ramp to the dock. This again is a blatant
attempt to obtain rights that other neighbors do not have.
Therefore, I ask that you deny their request to obtain special
rights and privileges which are not warranted or deserved.
Please overturn the decision of the Planning Commission.

STATEMENT OF ISSUE•
Transmitted for your consideration, is an appeal by William T.
Dalessi and Joseph Rosen, representing the Huntington Harbour
Property Owners Association, to the Planning Commission' s approval
of Conditional Use Permit No. 89-57 and Coastal Development Permit
No. 89-32 . Conditional Use Permit No. 89-57 is a request to
construct a third story loft to a single family dwelling. Coastal
Development Permit No. 89-32 is required pursuant to Section 989 . 5
of the Huntington Beach Ordinance Code as the subject property is
located within an Appealable/Non-Categorical Exclusion Area of the
Coastal Zone.
RECOMMENDATION•
Planning Commission action taken on February 21, 1990 :
A MOTION WAS MADE BY BOURGUIGNON, SECOND BY MOUNTFORD, TO APPROVE
CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO. 89-57 AND COASTAL DEVELOPMENT PERMIT NO.
89-32 WITH FINDINGS AND AMENDED CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL, BY THE
FOLLOWING VOTE:
AYES: Leipzig, Mountford, Williams, Ortega, Kirkland,
Bourguignon, Shomaker
NOES: None
ABSENT: None
ABSTAIN: None
MOTION PASSED
FINDINGS FOR APPROVAL - CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO. 89-57:
1. The proposed three-story dwelling does not have a detrimental
effect on the general health, safety, welfare and privacy of
the surrounding residents or on surrounding property values . \
The proposed structure will be constructed in compliance with
all Huntington Beach Ordinance Code development standards and
in accordance with the Uniform Building Code as adopted by the
City of Huntington Beach. /��
PI O 5/85 Y
Privacy will not be affected as the windows on the third story
visible from the exercise loft face the street and the other
windows as conditioned will not permit views onto adjacent
properties; therefore, no additional visibility onto adjacent
properties will be present as a result of the increased
building height and third story.
2 . The location, site plan and building design are harmonious and
compatible with the streets, driveways, property lines and
surrounding neighborhood. The property is located within a
cul-de-sac; therefore, the possibility of a traffic conflict
pulling out of the subject drive is minimal . The proposed
project is located on Humboldt Island which already has 15
homes with a third floor. Additionally, there is a two-story
home located on each side of the subject property.
3 . A majority of the homes on- Humboldt Island were constructed in
the mid to late 1960s . As a result of the increasing land
values, - numerous remodels/rebuilds are occurring and will
continue to occur throughout the island. The proposed
three-story dwelling is compatible with the recent
remodels/rebuilds on the island.
FINDINGS FOR APPROVAL - COASTAL DEVELOPMENT PERMIT NO, 89-32 :
1. The proposed single family dwelling conforms with the plans,
policies, requirements and standards of the Huntington Beach
Coastal Element of the General Plan.
2 . Coastal Development Permit No. 89-32 is consistent with the CZ
(Coastal Zone) suffix, the R1 zone as well as other provisions
of the Huntington Beach Ordinance Code applicable to the
property.
3 . At the time of occupancy, the proposed single family dwelling
can be provided with infrastructure in a manner that is
consistent with the Huntington Beach Coastal Element and
Coastal Land Use Plan of the General Plan. The proposed
development is within a tract which already has full public
improvements.
4 . The proposed single family dwelling conforms with the public
access and public recreation policies of Chapter 3 of the
California Coastal Act. No public access exists presently, nor
will exist after construction of the proposed structure.
Staff Recommendation:
Planning staff recommends that the City Council uphold the Action
taken by the Planning Commission on February 21, 1990, by denying
the appeal .
RCA 4/2/90 -2- (5165d)
ANALYSIS•
The applicant proposes to extensively remodel and add on to an
existing single-family dwelling at 16391 Ardsley Circle. The
proposed project includes a stairway tower to a third floor exercise
loft and attic area. As approved by the Planning Commission, the
proposed single-family dwelling will have approximately 5,000 square
feet of habitable area and a 767 square foot garage.
In their letter of appeal, Mr. Dalessi and Mr. Rosen, representing
the Huntington Harbour Home Owners Association, contend that
Planning staff improperly processed the subject application and that
the project should be sent back to the Planning Commission for
"proper" analysis and review. The appellants have cited three major
areas in which they believe staff erred. First, the project
requires a "Zoning Standards Variance" for the third story loft and
the garage configuration in lieu of a Conditional Use Permit;
Second, the project was given inadequate environmental review and
requires an environmental impact report; and third, the project is
not in compliance with the plans, policies and requirements of the
Coastal Land Use Plan. Each of the above arguments is discussed
below.
1. VARIANCE REQUIRED IN LIEU OF A CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT
The appellant has stated that a variance to the development
standards is required to approve the proposed third story loft.
This statement is incorrect. Section 9110.4(c) of the Huntington
Beach Ordinance Code specifically states "a maximum building height
of thirty (30) feet and/or three (3) stories may be permitted
subject to the approval of a Conditional Use Permit. " Using the
definition of building height contained in Section 9080 .23 of the
Code, the proposed project will have a maximum height of
twenty-eight (28) feet.
The appellant has also stated that the proposed garage configuration
requires a variance as it encroaches into the front yard setback.
Section 9110. 6 of the Code requires a twenty-two (22) foot front
yard setback for front entry garages or a ten (10) foot setback for
a side entry garage. The proposed garages are at a forty-five (45)
degree angle to the street and could, therefore, be classified as
either a front or side entry.
In either case, the intent of the code is to require two (2)
enclosed parking spaces as well as to provide adequate space for
parking two (2) vehicles on-site without overhanging the sidewalk or
public right-of-way. The applicant ' s proposal does provide for
three (3) enclosed parking spaces (two (21 in tandem) and two (2)
driveway parking spaces (one full-sized and one compact) . Given the
additional parking space provided in the garage and the two (2)
spaces provided in the driveways, staff is satisfied that the
proposed garage configuration provides adequate on-site parking and
meets the intent and letter of the Code.
RCA 4/2/90 -3- (5165d)
At the February 211, 1990 Planning Commission meeting, concern was
raised that the driveway configuration would require or encourage
vehicles to cross over the neighbor' s property to get into the
driveway. Staff does not believe this is a legitimate concern as
the approved plans indicate a low block wall (less than forty-two
[421 inches in height) along the property line to the public
right-of-way. This wall would effectively prohibit any vehicular
ingress or egress over the neighbor' s property. Additionally, a
condition was placed on the project that required the landscaped
areas to be reviewed by the Director of Community Development to
assure adjacent property compatability.
2. Inadequate Environmental Review:
The appellant has indicated that the proposed project is not exempt
under Class 3, Section 15303 of the California Environmental Quality
Act (CEQA) because " 'only. . . . small facilities and structures . . . .
where only minor modifications are made. . . . . . ' fit this category" ;
therefore, an environmental impact report is required. The quote
from CEQA is taken out of context and is misleading. The extent of
the remodel and addition essentially amounts to the construction of
a new home. Under Class 3(a) of CEQA, " . . . in urbanized areas, up to
three (3) single family residences may be constructed or converted
under this exemption. " Additionally, the project also falls within
the Class 1 exemptions of CEQA as *the project is an alteration to an
existing : structure, i:s less .than 10, 000 square feet, is located in
an area where all -public -services and facilities are available for
maximum development of the general plan, and is not located in an
environmentally : sensitive area.
3 . Coastal Development Permit:
The appellant has stated that the project does not conform to the
City' s Local Coastal Land Use Plan. The project as approved by the
Planning Commission conforms to all development criteria contained
within the Code. The mandatory findings required to approve a
coastal development permit are discussed in the attached Planning
Commission staff report. In this case, the Planning Commission
determined that all mandatory findings were present.
Summary:
In response to the letter of appeal, staff believes that the subject
conditional use permit and coastal development permit were processed
in full compliance with both the letter and spirit of City and State
requirements . A detailed analysis of the project is contained in
the attached February 21, 1990 Planning Commission staff report.
FUNDING SOURCE:
Not applicable.
RCA 4/2/90 -4- (5165d)
ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS:
The City Council may approve the appeal by overturning the Planning
Commission' s action taken on February 21, 1990 and denying
Conditional Use Permit No. 89-57 and Coastal Development Permit No.
89-32 with findings .

Re: Appeal from Planning Commission action
CUP 89-57/Coastal Development Permit 89-32
As neighbors directly affected by the proposed building, we
request that the City Council of the City of Huntington Beach
return to the Planning Commission the above project as being
improperly processed and approved by them. The project requires
"Zoning Standards Variance" approval and not a "Conditional Use
Permit" for the additional story, the improper design of the
angled driveway and encroachment into the required setbacks on
the front and rear yard. The project also requires an adequate
environmental impact report of the discretionary permits being
requested from the city. Furthermore, we ask that the council
direct staff to property document, analyze and report on the
specific relief being requested by the applicant from the city' s
zoning, subdivision and building codes. The details are as
follows:
Conditional Use Permit Vs. Standards Variance:
The applicant' s request for a height variance is not a function
of a conditional use or deprivation of right enjoyed by other
neighbors-except for one neighbor, located directly across the
street. What is the purpose of having zoning standards if it can
be simply altered by an incorrect application for a Conditional
Use Permit with no environmental clearance? They are asking to
develop a home which will exceed, in square footage, the land
area of their lot. They are also asking to be permitted to
disregard existing covenants, conditions and restriction. While
it is not the responsibility of the City to enforce the CC&R' s,
it should not be approving projects which are in acknowledged
direct violation of them.
The design, as presented, is a farcical attempt to obtain
approval for a full third story. The "open" railing on the third
floor looks down directly into the bathroom of the front bedroom.
Is this a new design concept? The applicant should be requested
to go back to the drawing board.

c�n m�
Mayor and City Council

The parking layout in both the straight and turn-in garages
allowed by the City allow one to park a car on the apron
approaching the garage. The design, as proposed, will not allow
one to park an automobile in front of the garage area without
overhanging on the landscape. In other words, the nice sketches
show a curved driveway, yet we know that automobiles cannot be
"folded" to fit on the narrow driveways as shown. The result
will be a trampling of landscape as drivers attempt to enter the
garages "straight-on" .
Coastal Development Permit:
The staff report indicates that the first finding of fact
required by the Coastal Development Permit is " . . .that the
proposed project conforms with the plans, policies, requirements
and standards of the Coastal Land Use Plan. . . " How can staff
support a project as being consistent, which requires so many
variances from existing regulation? The project was before the
planning commission because it deviated from existing regulation.
There are numerous other concerns with the way in which the staff
has ignored the city' s responsibility for upholding the
requirements of the Coastal Act.
Environmental Clearance:
Staff indicated that the proposed project was "categorically
exempt" from the requirements of CEQA. That is not so. Review
of Class 3 exemptions indicates that only " . . . small facilities
and structures. . .where only minor modifications are made. . . "
fit in this category. Therefore, we believe that staff is in
error in not reviewing the potential impacts of this project on
the scale and character of the neighborhood, its shading of
adjacent structures and the potential dangers of its vehicular
entry design in a neighborhood which has "rolled curbs" . It is a
tortured logic which states that this project will not have an
impact on its site or to its neighbors.
In conclusion, it is our hope that the City Council will remand
this case, back to the Planning Commission, to be heard with
complete, correct, and meaningful information. Specifically, we
ask that the project be required to:
1 . Apply for a standards variances for:
-Height
-Number of stories
-Encroachment into established building setback areas
-Design of driveways which do not permit parking of cars
without overhanging the required landscape areas

2. Obtain Coastal Development Permit for the above variances
3 . Provide full and appropriate environmental documentation
of the above actions in the form of an Environmental

As long time residents of the City of Huntington Beach, it is not
our desire to "limit change" , but to insure that change contains
the quality which we, and our neighbors, have enjoyed in this
area. What is being proposed is simply quantity - without
quality. The City can benefit from having a remodel and addition
to this existing house which has the support and concurrence of
the affected neighbors, not their opposition and mistrust. Send
this project back to the staff and Planning Commission for
proper and appropriate review and hearing.

9 . 0 ISSUES AND ANALYSIS:
The applicant proposes a remodel and an addition, including a third
floor loft, to an existing single family dwelling. at 16391 Ardsley
Circle. The proposed structure includes a stairway tower to a third
floor exercise loft and attic area.
Section .9080 .23 of the Huntington Beach Ordinance Code states that
building height is determined by .the vertical distance from a
referenced datum (existing grade) to the average height of the
highest gable of a pitched or hipped roof and, in an R1 zone, the
highest point of the roof shall not be more than five (5) feet above
the maximum permitted height. Therefore, a single family dwelling
with a maximum height of 25 feet could have the peak of .its roof at
30 feet. The proposed structure' s roof has a height of 28 feet as
measured by Code with the peak of the roof at 30 feet above existing
grade.
The following is a zoning conformance matrix which compares the
proposed project with the development standards.

* Conditional Use Permit requested
** Discussion of garage configuration below.
Staff Report - 2/21/90 -3- (4665d) .
The development, as proposed, has two garages at a 45 degree angle to
Ardsley Circle, one with area for two cars in tandem and the other
large enough to accommodate one car (three cars total) . The garage
corners are setback 10 feet from the front property line. This is a
hybrid garage configuration which the Zoning Code does not
specifically address .
A true front entry garage would require a 20 foot setback, while a
true side entry garage would permit a 10 foot setback as requested.
In either case, the intent of the code is to require two garage
spaces as well as to allow the parking of two vehicles on the
driveway without overhanging the sidewalk (see Attachments 3 and 4) .
The applicant ' s unusual proposal would provide three garage parking
spaces (two in tandem) , and two driveway parking spaces (one full
sized and one compact) . Given the additional parking area to be
provided within the garage, staff is s ' sfied that the driveway
configuration provides adequate off�-s t parking. Also, since the
garages are angled at 45 degrees, oii' he corners approach the 10
foot setback, with the roll-up doors((((( a gling away from the front
yard. Staff believes that this configuration provides adequate
on-site parking and front yard setback. The Commission, however, may
. wish to condition that the one compact driveway space be expanded to
full size.
Article 9110 .4(a) requires that the Planning Commission consider the
following guidelines when considering the request for a third story
addition:
(1) The proposed building shall not have a detrimental effect on
the general health, safety, welfare or privacy of surrounding
residents, or on surrounding property values .
(2) The location, site plan and building design shall be harmonious
and compatible with the streets, driveways, property lines, and
surrounding neighborhood.
.(3) The age and anticipated permanence of buildings on adjacent
properties shall be considered.
(4) The Commission shall consider any other criteria it deems
necessary to preserve the health, safety, welfare 'and
convenience of the neighborhood.
The applicant ' s project will be constructed in compliance with all
applicable provisions of the Huntington Beach. Ordinance Code, except
height . A three-story structure exists directly across the street
at 16386 Ardsley Circle. Privacy should not be negatively affected
as the windows visible from the exercise room face towards the.
street, not adjacent properties . Staff is recommending that the
other windows or openings on the third floor which are accessible
from the attic area be frosted or have some .other treatment
acceptakile to the Department of Community Development to eliminate
views into the adjacent properties.
Staff Report - 2/21/90 -4- (4665d)
i
The proposed project including two on-site parking spaces will be
compatible with the streets, driveways, property lines, and
surrounding neighborhood. The building design is mediterranean in
style with a red tile roof and should fit in well with the many
custom homes in the immediate vicinity.
Two petitions have been circulated through the neighborhood, one
opposed to and one supporting the project . The one opposing the
project was submitted by the Huntington Harbour Property Owner' s
Association and argues that the project does not comply with the
community' s CC&Rs in respect to building height and rear yard
setback. The petition is signed by two officers of the association
and eight property owners in the immediate of the subject property,
six with Ardsley Circle addresses . The City historically has not
enforced private CC&Rs as they are private agreements between the
association and the property owners . The City' s jurisdiction is
confined to the provision of the Zoning Code. The petition
supporting the project was submitted by the applicant . The petition
is signed by 33 property owners representing 20 properties in the
immediate vicinity, 9 with Ardsley Circle addresses. Both petitions
and maps to show who signed the petitions are a part of this report
as Attachments No. 6 and 7.
10 . 0 RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the Planning Commission approve Conditional
Use Permit No. 89-57 and Coastal Development Permit No. 89-32 with
the following findings and conditions of approval:
FINDINGS FOR APPROVAL —CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO, 89-57:
1. The location, site layout as conditioned, and design of the
proposed two story single family dwelling with a maximum height
of 30 feet properly adapts the proposed structures to streets,
driveways, and other adjacent structures and uses in a
harmonious manner. The structure is proposed to be consistent
with the development standards contained within the Huntington
Beach Ordinance Code.
2. The granting of Conditional Use Permit No. 89-57 will not
adversely affect the General Plan of the City of Huntington
Beach because it is consistent with the policies of the Land
Use Element.
3 . The proposed three-story single family dwelling with a maximum
height of 28 feet is not detrimental to the general health,
welfare, safety, or privacy of the surrounding residents, or on
surrounding property values. The subject structure is proposed
to be constructed- in compliance with all Huntington Beach
Ordinance Code development standards and in accordance with the
Uniform Building Code as adopted by the City of Huntington
Staff Report - 2/21/90 -5- (4665d)
Beach. Privacy will not be affected as the windows on the
third story visible from the exercise loft face the street
and the other windows as conditioned will not permit views
onto adjacent properties; therefore, no additional
visibility onto adjacent properties will be present as a
result of the increased building height and third story.
FINDINGS FOR APPROVAL - COASTAL DEVELOPMENT PERMIT NO, 89-32 :
1. The proposed single family dwelling conforms with the plans,
policies, requirements and standards of the Huntington Beach
Coastal Element of the General Plan.
2. Coastal Development Permit No. 89--32 is consistent with the CZ
(Coastal Zone) suffix, the R1 zone as well as other provisions
of the Huntington Beach Ordinance Code applicable to the
property.
3 . At the time of occupancy, the proposed single family dwelling
can be provided with infrastructure in a manner that is
consistent with the Huntington Beach Coastal Element and
Coastal Land Use Plan of the General Plan. The proposed
development is within a tract which already has full public
improvements.
4 . The proposed single family dwelling conforms with the public
access and public recreation policies of Chapter 3 of the
California Coastal Act. No public access exists presently, nor •
will exist after construction of the proposed structure.
CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL:
1. The site plan, floor plans, and elevations received and dated
December 21, 1989, shall be the conceptually approved layout
with the following modifications:.
a . Third floor windows or openings which face adjacent
properties shall be frosted or treated to prohibit views
into the adjacent properties .
b. Roll-up garage doors shall be required.
2 . Prior to issuance of building permits, the applicant/owner
shall complete the following:
a. All applicable Public Works fees shall be paid.
b. The property owner shall sign, notarize, and record with
the County Recorder a "Letter of Agreement" assuring that
the single family residence will be maintained as one (1)
dwelling unit.
Staff Report - 2/21/90 -6- (4665d)
3 . Fire Department Requirements are as follows :
a. An automatic fire sprinkler system shall be approved and
installed pursuant to Fire Department regulations.
b. A two (2) inch domestic/fire water service connection shall
be required.
c. The applicant shall meet all applicable local, State and
Federal Fire Codes, Ordinances, and standards.
4 . The development shall comply with all applicable provisions of
the Ordinance Code, Building Division, and Fire Department.
5 . All building spoils, such as unusable lumber, wire, pipe, and
other surplus or unusable material, shall be disposed of at an
off-site facility equipped to handle them.
6 . Construction shall be limited to Monday - Saturday 7: 00 AM to
8 : 00 PM. Construction shall be prohibited Sundays and Federal
holidays.
7. Conditional Use Permit No. 89-57 and Coastal Development Permit
No. 89-32 shall become null and void unless exercised within
one (1) year of the date of final approval, or such extension
of time as may be granted by the Planning Commission pursuant
to a written request submitted to the Planning Department a
minimum 30 days prior to the expiration date.
11 . 0 ALTERNATIVE ACTION:
The Planning Commission may deny Conditional Use Permit No. 89-57
and Coastal Development Permit No. 89-32 with findings.

ATTACHMENT TO APPLICATION FOR A
CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT
n Response to required written narrative Item # 11.
11a. This application is necessary to allow construction
of a residence in the R1-CZ zone pursuant to Article
911 , Section 9110. 1 (c) . This section allows for
building heights of (30) thirty feet subject to a
Conditional Use Permit.
It has been determined that the new added off-street
parking (new three car garage versus old prior two car
garage) eliminates possible ground floor exercise room
location. Maintaining existing bedroom count at four
in both prior and proposed eliminated an exercise room
on the second floor. New garage space and keeping
bedroom counts the same left only one option: a third
floor loft as proposed.
The high point of the exercise loft roof peak exceeds
( 25) twenty-five feet and thus requires this approval
as noted in the Code discussion of " . . .either a third
floor or thirty feet. "
11b. Humboldt Island is a re-developing residential area
serving single families. The newer of these homes in
the area exceed the (25) twenty-five foot height limit
and many have been built with three. stories. Lot 36
almost directly across the street is three stories
high. Additionally, the roof line of Lot 41 (16362
Ardsley Circle) exceeds the (25) twenty-five height
limit on the same street as the proposed project.
llc. The project will consist of a single family residence
on an existing site with established utility services.
11d, All the surrounding uses are single family homes in
this R1-CZ zone.

3. THIS AREA OF HUNTINGTON HARBOUR WAS DEVELOPED PRIMARILY TO
LIMIT SINGLE FAMILY STRUCTURES TO TWO STORIES, AS EVIDENCED BY THE
DECLARATIONS OF LIMITATIONS COVENANTS, CONDITIONS RESTRICTIONS
D RESERVATIONS CC&R s . THE CURRENT OWNERS OF THE PROPERTY
WERE AWAREIS RESTRICTION WHEN THEY PURCHASED THE PROPERTY.
PAGE 1
IF A CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT IS GRANTED THKN THE
OTHER RESIDENTS OF HUNTINGTON HARBOUR WILL BE •
OBLIGED TO SEEK CIVIL ACTION AGAINST A NEIGHBOR TO
PREVENT VIOLATION OF THE CC&RCS . ACTIONS OF THIS
NATURE DO NOT ADD TO THE GENERAL WELFARE , HEALTH OR

APPLICANT: BILL RIDGEWAY DESIGN

Conditional Use Permit No. 89-57 is a request for a remodel and
addition to an existing single family dwelling which includes a
gymnasium on the third floor. Article 9110.4 states that the

2 stories . A maximum height of 30 feet and/or 3 stories is
permitted subject to the approval of a conditional use permit.
ENVIRONMENTAL STATUS:
The proposed project is categorically exempt pursuant to Section
15303, Class 3, of the California Environmental Quality Act.
COASTAL STATUS:
The proposed project is adjacent to Short Channel and is within an
appealable/non-categorical exclusion area of the Coastal Zone. All
projects within this zone are required to obtain approval of a
coastal development permit in compliance with the provisions
contained within Article 989 . 5 .
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Approve Conditional Use Permit No. 89-57 and Coastal Development
Permit No. 89-32 with findings and conditions of approval .
THE PUBLIC HEARING WAS OPENED
Bill Ridgeway, 5828 E. Naples Plaza, Long Beach, applicant, spoke in
support of the request. He asked if condition l(a) could be
modified to read, "to be determined during construction if there is
a problem. " He said he agrees to all other conditions and urged the
Commission to approve.
John Briscoe, 16391 Ardsley Circle, owner, spoke in support of the
request . He gave a short history of the construction and said the
proposed addition will not present any view impairments and feels it
will improve his neighborhood. He said his designs are consistent
with all CC&Rs of his Association which do allow heights up to 30
feet . He agrees with all conditions of approval imposed by staff
and urged the Commission to approve.

Joe Rosen, 16915 Edgewater Lane, Chairman of the Homeowners
Architectural Review Committee, said the committee rejected these
proposed plans because they did not feel they were harmonious with
the surrounding neighborhood and felt that the proposed driveway
would present a safety hazard.
Chuck Bohle, 16431 Barnstable Circle, addressed his concerns with
the proposed design. He said there are eight three-story homes on
the island which are mostly located on the main channel . He does
not feel a three-story home is consistent at this location.
W. T. Dalessi, 16385 Ardsley Circle, felt it was unfair that a
property owner has only four minutes to voice opposition to a
project yet the applicant has months to establish good relations
with staff and the Commission. He said Mr. and Mrs. Briscoe are
"spec builders" and feels they will overbuild this house, sell it
and move on, and the adjacent neighbors will be there forever. He
does not want to live next door to a house that resembles a high
rise. He feels that 5,761 square feet is definitely an overbuild
for this location. His main objection is to the proposed location
of the garage with the driveway having a 45 degree angle. He feels
this will make an unsafe condition.
Joan Peoples, 16184 Mariner Drive, realtor, spoke in support of the
request. She feels the owners have taken all necessary steps to
improve the home and make the neighborhood more desirable. She
feels the remodel will upgrade the values of the adjacent homes .
Robert Lund, 16472 Barnstable Circle, said he looks directly across
the channel at the proposed home and feels it will be an enhancement
to the area.
Julie Lund, 16472 Barnstable Circle, said she lives across the water
from this home and also feels it will be an improvement. She read
into the record a letter from another adjacent homeowner (Dr. Locke,
16462 Barnstable Circle) .
Joan C. Lund, 16472 Barnstable, spoke in support of the proposed
request. She said she will be the most visually impacted and feels
it is an improvement.
Margo Dalessi , 16385 Ardsley Circle, said she is not objecting to
the remodeling of a home, however would like to views, light and air
protected and would like safety insured. She feels the proposed
driveway is unsafe. She said the applicant received signatures on
his petition after holding a meeting at her house with the concerned
neighbors . She felt that he presented misleading information to the
neighbors .
i
Cheryl Orr, 16381 Ardsley Circle, said she is opposing losing her
view or her sunshine. She plans to stay in the area permanently and
hates to see a spec house in the neighborhood.
PC Minutes - 2/21/90 -4- (5120d)
Bill Marshall, 16386 Ardsley Circle, said his plans for a
three-story home was denied by the Architectural Committee and that
he was responsible for killing the grass in the area because of his
three-story home across the street. He spoke in support of the
plans .
Norma Marshall, 16386 Ardsley, said to give a facelift to a 25 year
old home is beneficial. She said she improved her home a few years
ago and caused a lot of commotion in the neighborhood. She doesn' t
understand why people object to changes and does not feel that this
home is a "spec" home.
Ruth Moore, 16481 Ardsley Circle, spoke in opposition to the
request. She feels this house will block the views of all adjacent
homes except for the one on the corner.
There were no other persons present to speak for or against the
request and the public hearing was closed.
A suggested amendment was made to condition l. a which stated that
"the condition shall be reviewed at first framing inspection and may
be waived if it is determined that privacy to the adjacent
properties has been preserved" . Also, an added condition requiring
review of all landscape areas by the Community Development Director
to assure adjacent property compatibility.
A MOTION WAS MADE BY BOURGUIGNON, SECOND BY MOUNTFORD, TO APPROVE
CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO. 89-57 AND COASTAL DEVELOPMENT PERMIT NO.
89-32 WITH FINDINGS AND AMENDED CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL, BY THE
FOLLOWING VOTE:
AYES: Leipzig, Mountford, Williams, Ortega, Kirkland,
Bourguignon, Shomaker
NOES: None
ABSENT: None
ABSTAIN: None
MOTION PASSED
FINDINGS FOR APPROVAL - CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO. 89-57:
1. The proposed three-story dwelling does not have a detrimental
effect on the general health, safety, welfare and privacy of
the surrounding residents or on surrounding property values .
The proposed structure will be constructed in compliance with
all Huntington Beach Ordinance Code development standards and
in accordance with the Uniform Building Code as adopted by the
City of Huntington Beach. Privacy will not be affected as the
windows on the third story visible from the exercise loft face
the street and the other windows as conditioned will not permit
views onto adjacent properties; therefore, no additional
visibility onto adjacent properties will be present as a result
of the increased building height and third story.
PC Minutes - 2/21/90 -5- (5120d)
2 . The location, site plan and building design are harmonious and
compatible with the streets, driveways, property lines and
surrounding neighborhood. The property is located within a
cul-de-sac; therefore, the possibility of a traffic conflict
pulling out of the subject drive is minimal . The proposed
project is located on Humboldt Island which already has 15
homes with a third floor. Additionally, there is a two-story
home located on each side of the subject property.
3 . A majority of the homes on Humboldt Island were constructed* in
the mid to late 1960s . As a result of the increasing land
values, numerous remodels/rebuilds are occurring and will
continue to occur throughout the island. The proposed
three-story dwelling is compatible with the recent
remodels/rebuilds on the island.
FINDINGS FOR APPROVAL - COASTAL DEVELOPMENT PERMIT NO 89-32 :
1. The proposed single family dwelling conforms with the plans,
policies, requirements and standards of the Huntington Beach
Coastal Element of the General Plan.
2 . Coastal Development Permit No. 89-32 is consistent with the CZ
(Coastal Zone) suffix, the R1 zone as well as other provisions
of the Huntington Beach Ordinance Code applicable to the
property.
3 . At the time of occupancy, the proposed single family dwelling
can be provided with infrastructure in a manner that is
consistent with the Huntington Beach Coastal Element and
Coastal Land Use Plan of the General Plan. The proposed
development is within a tract which already has full public
improvements .
4 . The proposed single family dwelling conforms with the public
access and public recreation policies of Chapter 3 of the
California Coastal Act. No public access exists presently, nor
will exist after construction of the proposed structure.
CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL:
1. The site plan, floor plans, and elevations received and dated
February 14, 1989, shall be the conceptually approved layout
with the following modifications :
a. Third floor windows or openings which face adjacent
properties shall be frosted or treated to prohibit views
into the adjacent properties . This condition shall be +
reviewed at first framing inspection and may be waived if
