tdentifted and studied a~nd all the signiflcant fsctors exami~ed, can a plan be davised
that matntains the balance necesssry for the survival of this Oak woodla~d. Eve~ when

will Bertach~ 70 3 Namlock P1ecQ~ steted he is opposed to thls prpJe ct becauae tha
p~ecedent was set for the two-:tory bullding without a~y notiftcatton ta thc prope~tY
owners end now the patitioner keeps referrtng co that proJect which they feel was put over
on them. He dld not understend how ~i8 units~ w(th 84 parking ap~ces an three lots woutd
not affoct the d~nstty. Another concer ~ Is che congestion that w111 be caused on La Palma
a~d the t~affic that will be routed pas t thelr streets beceuse traffic will not be able to
make a left turn on Ls Palme. He state d tha devetoper worked wlth the immedlste property
owners as far as the details were cance rned~ but the denaity (s stttl proposed a~id
accomplished by the height; that he wo uld be willing to have the two-story units on.the
f~ont, with single•story apartments on the rest which would reduce the denslty. He felt
48 t s e lot of apa rtrr~ents 1 ~ th) s res i dent i a 1 ~rea and suggested that condomi n i ums be
dovelopec~, and ~eferred to other rental units tn the area which are not well•maintained.
He dld not see how three-sto ry units ca n be built within the 24•foot height limltstio~.
He atated egain he is opposed to tha denstcy of these epartments which Is cauaed by the
multiplo stories.
Carri~ Beeson~ 1219 E. Wilhelminie~ stated she hae besen a resident here since 1954 a~d
this ls an R-1 tone and she a~d her neighbors enJoy the R-1 Zonc; that shc does not obJect
to improvement or developme~t of sub3ect property. but does ob)ect strenuousiy to a three-
story unit. Sh e stated she drove in atl directtona oP thls prope~ty and found no three-
story apartmants t n the area.
Ann Dunlavy, 728 Juniper Place~ stated ahe lives at the end of tht tul-de-sac and was
concerned that allowing three stories wauld set a precedent for throe story-apartments all
across La Pain~a behind her; thet there Is vacant prope~2y to the west and the owner has
tried to get it zoned comnercielly and she felt if this proJect ls allowed~ there would b~
nothing to stop the development on other streets which would completely box her property
in. She stated shc ts not oPposed to two-story unit: and realizes the lend has been idle
and has been a ftrc trap, but is opposed to three-stories because there are no other
three-story u~its in the area. She feit tt is time Anahelm sticks to a pla~ and does not
a11ow two~story, then three-sto~y units to be developed giving an up and down appearance.
Mr. Bowman pointed out property locations of those both in Favor and those opposing the
p~oJect. Ha stated his insurance age~t has Indicated that the lnsurance ratas would not
tncrease. He dtd not have any control over a precedent being set. but pointed out the
lots towa~d Eas t Street a~e approxima tely 1/3 the length and the~e has bcen no land
sssemblege. He referred to the oppositions' comment th~t the p~operty owners were ~ot
nottfied of the hea~ing for the veriance at 1260 East La Palr+a artd stated Mrs. Bartsch was
prese~t at previous heari~gs.

been achtaved by grading dewn.
Commisslo~ar Nerbst stated the Commisslon haa been studylnq apa~tnent standsrds for some
time and has had Joi~t meetings with the City Counctt; chat he has been one of the
p~oponents for meintalning the 150-foot setback~ but tirtws do change and due to the cost
of construction and lack of housing~ they are evelueting the Codes and trying to
compromise. He felt the developer has compromi~ed with the i5~foot buffer~ but tn turn
we~ts three-stortes~ ~nd ls willing to keep them within two-story hetght limits. Ha felt
tho desig~ of the u~tta wtth the carports for p~otection wili lessen the tmpact o~ the
natghbors obutting the proparty and felt the project~ ~s redesic~ned~ is as good as any he

Commissioner Herbst asked if staff could recommend a tree that would graw high enough
wlthin a reesonable length of time to buffer the wall.
Annika Santalahti. Assistant Director for Zoning. explained stsff has asked some
d.*.velopers to propose speciftc tree specles whlch a landscaper has said will mature within
a five yea r perlod to a reasonable hefyht and breadth to buffer adJacent aingle-famtly
p~operttes. Occesianally a developar looks at a p~o~ect the Cemm(ssion ts famtliar with
and uses the same techniq ues. She stated the CitY does not have a particula~ lfst but
uses nnamples such as the apartment proJect on Romneya a~d State College or the comnercial
propsrty on the southwest corne~ of Sunkist and Ltncoln (Ralphs) where the trees a~e 20-

building a home todby. Ne stated there are qulte a few undeveloped lots in the arna. but
deveiopers would not construct a singie-famtly $100.000 home on these lots. especially
next docar to a:torage yard. Developers nced somc incentive that tha whole ~~ea will be
