REPORTS AND RECOMMENDATIONS:
ITEM NO. 3-A VARIANCE NO. 4117 - EXTENSION OF TIME TO COMPLY WITH CONDITIONS OF
APPROVAL•
PUBLIC HEARING: OWNER: Myrle Holloway. Subject property is 919-959 South Rnott
Street and this Variance allowing lots not abutting the public street was
processed in conjunction with a tentative parcel map.
Mr. Holloway stated his address is 19622 Frank Ave., Cerritos.
Ms. Santalahti asked, "what kind of timing do you expect on the parcel map?"
Mr. Holloway answered the parcel map has been approved and been preliminarily
checked and everything is done and is ready for signature, and they are waiting
for one because it has been involved with three or four owners, transfers, land
exchanges and it is down to one signature for subordination from one of the
second position lenders, then they will be ready to close escrow on it. Mr.
Holloway also stated that he is funded and ready to go and just waiting for
title to the property.
Ms. Santalahti stated that there is no environmental assessment necessary on
todays request because the determination was made in connection with the
original decision.
Linda Eaves, Code Enforcement staff, said there have been on-going complaints at
the over-all property for the last two years. Ms. Eaves stated that the
violations on the property currently are illegal dumping, the building is
covered with graffiti, there is a Christmas tree lot that hae never been
removed, there is a substantial amount of glass, and she would like to see if
all corrected.
Ms. Santalahti asked if a notice or notices gone out on the violations?
Ms. Eaves stated that there have been notices issued to prior owners and that
there is also a condition as part of the conditional use permit that a wall be
constructed on the west side of the property. She said she feels that is a
significant dilemma because the woman who owns the property on the other side
has a great Dane which has accosted a child. Ms. Eaves also stated that she has
not recently sent any letters because all parties have already been notified and
are aware of the problems.
Ms. Santalahti stated that, based on assumption that part of the problem is due
to multiple ownership, apparently no one has wanted to take full
responsibility. Ms. Santalahti also stated that she will grant the time
extension subject to all of the outstanding code enforcement violations being
taken care of within one month from March 21, 1992. Ms. Santalahti asked Mr.
Holloway if he had copies of the previous notices?
Mr. Holloway asked if consideration could be given due to the situation being
out of their control. He said, "We do not own the property at this point, we
are in there as part of the victim and we are the ones attempting to get these
things completed, we have written letters, we have sent a guy out to
.. ,. 4
MINUTES, ZONING ADMINISTRATOR, MARCH 19. 1992 PAGE 4
do some cleaning, if Mr. Roterferd had not gone, into surgery we .were prepared to
file against "One Stop" to try to push this thing along and we are working with
code enforcement to try as much as we can. We are in there as a tenant and more
or less the victim because we have an operating business in there which is being
severely hurt. He said he was concerned that if a condition were put upon them
then the other involved parties would refuse to do anything and the whole burden
would fall upon them".
Ms. Santalahti asked, "what are the operating businesses there now?"
Mr. Holloway stated it is "Pay and Play Racquet Ball" which they own, the
building on which they have a land lease with Larry Smith and which they have an
agreement to buy and do the conversion under the Conditional Use Permit.
Ms. Santalahti asked Mr. Holloway if he was looking at the "Pay and Play"
property and is it the one they are ultimately interested in?
Mr. Holloway stated that is the one they are really concerned with.
Ms. Santalahti asked Linda for her comments or problems on the "Pay and Play"
property.
Ms. Eaves stated that the property which is occupied by Pay and Play currently
has the moat serious dumping problem, the alley is obliterated and there are
piles of dirt.
Ms. Santalahti asked Mr. Holloway if there is a copy of a location map attached
to the staff report he has. Is the "Pay and Play" property the irregualarly
shaped parcel that goes along the railroad tracks?
Mr. Holloway stated yes that they are located at the rear. He said they would
be inclined to clean up anything within their property even though under their
agreement with Larry Smith, Larry Smith is responsible for all those roadways
but ae a condition they would be responsible to remove everything from their
section.
Ms. Santalahti asked Ms. Herrick and Ms. Eaves to look at the map to be sure
that it reflects the boundry lines for "Pay and Play".
Mr. Holloway stated that he has an actual site plan, the debris is back in a
corner.
Ms. Santalahti asked what the existing fence consists of?
Mr. Holloway stated that it originally was a block wall, that someone has
installed a gate or a piece of gate, and that he does not even know at what
point or how it was damaged or whether it was their responsibility to repair it.

MINUTES ZONING ADMINISTRATOR MARCH 19 1992 PAGE 5
Ms. Santalahti stated that the Zoning Code requires a 6-foot block wall along
all commercial boundry lines shared with residential uses.
Ms. Santalahti asked if Mr. Holloway will be the owner when this project is
finished?
Mr. Holloway replied that "It looks that way and that the property will revert
back to him".
Ms. Santalahti asked Ms. Eaves to obtain a copy of the boundary line exhibit to
place in the Variance file. Ms. Santalahti stated she will also add a condition
based on the boundary lines for the specific area that she expects to see
improved within the immediate future. Ms. Santalahti asked Mr. Holloway if 30
days would be a rational amount of time?
Mr. Holloway said yes.
Me. Santalahti stated that she will approve the time extension on Variance 4117
to March 21, 1993 subject to the condition that, within a period of 30 days the
responsible parties will take care of the "Pay and Play" property in terms of
removing the graffiti, removing any of the dumped trash, rubbish or over-grown
vegetation and repairing, replacing or somehow securing the fencing along the
west property line with temporary fencing consisting of chainlink fencing or
some material that would not be easy to tear down until the permanent 6-foot
block wall is fixed and maintained. Ms. Santalahti stated that the
correspondence that will be sent indicating approval of the time extension will
include the precise wording on what Code Enforcement will expect to see done
within 30 days, and Code Enforcement will also be receiving a copy of that
letter, and that the 30-day timing will start on March 21, 1992.
INFORMATIONAL ITEMS:
ITEM NO. 4-A - ADMINISTRATIVE ADJUSTMENT 0068: Waiver of minimum site area
(5,850 square-feet permitted; 5,000 square-feet proposed) to construct a 374
square foot bedroom addition to an existing single-family residence at 1757
North Rutherford Street.
