Honorable City Council
City of Huntington Beach
Huntington Beach, California
Gentlemen:
DEC �.� � �96 — .
Kindly consider this letter as an appeal to use variance No. 879 ,
disapproved by the planning commission (4 to 3) , on December 7 ,
1965 because of "Bedroom" density . our property , consisting of
6. 2 acres is bounded by Florida , 17th , Clay , and Delaware tivenue .
It is zoned R-2 and now has an approved variance for 123 units .
(UV-680)
We are appealing to your body because we do not believe "Bedrooms"
were discussed at the publ.i . hearings held when the land-per-unit
density changes were made it the zoning code.
Also upon a detailed check of she staff report , we find that we
have an excess of two (2) off-street parking sp:wces ; not a short-
age of two (2) as described . We offered to correct the layout of
lots 1 and 22 by changing the units to a duplex with a carport ac-
cess directly on the alley , but our attempts to :satisfy the layout
requirem nts were met with a stonewall statement , "You are rezoning
by variance" . Vote 4 to 3 for disapproval .
But , Gentlemen , this just is not the case . In no instance are our
duplex , triplex , or fourplex lots reduced to density of 1250 spy .
£t . of land per unit as :specified for R- 3 . On our 60 ' x 100 ' lots
and a few irregular lots , we have land densities per unit of 3 , 000
so . ft . , 2 , 000 sq . ft . and none less then 1 , 500 sq . ft. The sat.
backs used are the Same as our present variance . As our land is
bounded on the Bast by C- 2 and R--3 (` arcus MacCallum) on the South
by R-4 (Chuck Derigo) , an,l owners or, the. West and North spoke in
our favor , we feel that our lane: area densities are closer to R-2
than R-3 , and are Compatible with the area . Except for bedrooms
the master plan calls for medium density but we understand that
this area has not been precisel,, studied since 1958 .
We also , might point out that our subdivision map requires not only
the dedication of a strip 15 ' by approximately 600 ' for the widen-
ing of 17th Street , but also includes the land required to rerout
17th Atreet up Florida Street to Garfield .
In view of the re,-e:rat report by the Urban Land Institute it seems
a shame that this eye-gore property should continue to remain va-
cant or be used for move-in buildings .
I
Bayport Enterprisers , rnc. , Dean Rickbetil , President is one of the
few builders who is q•aalified for multiple financing , but lenders
now rewire some three bedroom units, which is the reason for '.,he
additional bedrooms . our present variance calls for 69 bachelor
units , which are now tabu as far as financing is concerned .
'thank you for your consideration.

Yours truly,
SCOTTCO,p INC.

P. S. we would also like a 90 day extension to our final subdivision
map filing (expires February 4 , 1966) . This would be required
only if you look favorably on our appeal of W 879.
