There wae one pereon indicatiny hig presence in apposition to subject. requeat
and ~lthough the FitaEf report was not reAd, it is referred to and mAde a part
of tl~e minutea.
Gr~g Dickson, Windsor E~nanciAl CorpocaCion, explainecl he i~ cepresentiny
Windaor Financ••~~1 and the interests ~f the curr~nt ~roparty owners, Mr. & Mrs.
Maar~, and ~c~;.ntial projected users oi thio property who are four retail
tenants wh~~ nt~ve alreody siyned leases. He presented photographa label.ed A, B
& C to cl ciEy the issues, and explained there was a lot a~lit befoce the
SubdiviG on Map Act and the pcoperty they are pu[chasing is the vacant
pc~per+, shown on the righl in the photograph and the property line is about
18 ir~ :~es from Mc. Wo~~'e buildiny; and that the dr.ivewny indicated is tt~e
curr~i~t driveway used uff ttarbor which was encroaching by about G feet; that
Ext~:bit B is 'iooking towacd tlarbor Boulevarcl and showE ther.e are about tive
parkinr spaces which were E~cevi~usly encroaciiiny on the property; that Exh;':'t
C ahuws the westerly ~roF~t:~ y line and pact aE the asphatL has been remov.d
and ~he driveway currenkly used for the motel is abaut 1/3 encroaching onto
subject propecty.
Mr. Uickson stated Chey have ma~ie m~ny attempta to resolve the problem with
khe neighbo[, including lool:iny at practically ever}~ ~ption available, and
have not been able to come t~ an agceement, and t~ave made suggestions
regardiny a land swap aption whict~ would cesolve his access problem to Harbor
Houlevard and maintain that access wtiich he is c~rrc~ntly using. F;e stated at
this paint they are open to sugge~tions; and that this is a small aite and
they cannot lose too much gcoas leasable area withaut the ~ite becoming
uneconomical. Eie stated they would like some suygestion fcom the Planning
C~mmission relative to what kind of direction they should take.
Frank Carbone, Co[porate Counsei for Windsor Financial Corporation, stated
t•here is a dispute between the ownecs ot subje~-t prop~rty, Mr. & Mcs. Maas,
and the owner of the adjacent property, Mr. Woo, concecnfng whethPr or not a
prescriptive e~sement exists on the propecty; anc? that he ha~ investigated the
mattec, toyether with outside counsel, and it is c'~eir belief that there t+re
na prescriptive rights.
Chairwoman La Claire stated the Planning Commission is not going to get into
any arguments about property rights and will only review the request for the
variance, including the traffic pattern.
Mr. Cacbo~~e stated he wanted the Planning Cot-smission to k~ow that a lawsuit
was filed in an atternpt to have a prelimi.nary injur~ction ~ssued to force a
prescriptive driveway over the southerly 2U feet of this property and ti~at
matter is set for hearing in the Orange Cbunty Superior ~ourt on August 6, and
the prelin~inary injunction will either be granted or denied at that time.
Mary Wony, 6075 Windemere Way, Rivecside, explained she wa^ the broker who
sold the motel to Mr. 6 Mcs. w~o three or four year~~ ago and the motel is
their livelihood. She stated the motel iE about 2U years o1c~ and there is a
sQrvice station on the corner and it never occurred to her that the motel
wou" `~e jeopa[dized by the driveway someday because it has '7een there for 20
ye She stated i. was her responsibility to look into t,e title pulicy and

thare ie no recocded easement, but the motel w~s devel.ope~1 by Mr. & Mrs. MAas
who were tha owners ot both properties at one time and ~.t~cy must have known
that the motel would heve to have an eahement.
Ms. Wony stated there were som~ thinga omitted from Mr. <'atbone's lettec ia
the Pla~ning Commisaion, such bs they suggested that: the new nl~op~,iny cFt~ter
be relocated in ~ difterent direction with lhe long ~ide on Vermank anc? the
shurt side to the motel parking lot which would allow them to share a common
driveway. She statecl with the der~ign oE the :~hupping center as pcoposrd, the
kraEfic north and south on liarba~ will k~e able to see if: and it will be mare
valuable ta their develoument. :;he stal•ed the shoppin;y center i:~ xztil] in the
planning otages and it could be cedesigned to beneEit both parlies.
Ms~. Wong stated she developed a motel at tlarbor and the Riveraid~ F•-eeway and
when they were developiny it, it waa adverti.r~ed for sale; howeve , ahe was
aaked why she advertised the motel Eoc sale befor~ the E~~ -~it wAS c~ran~ed.
She stated Mr. Dickson atated they were puttiny a financiAl burden on them
bec~uae they had already leased some oP t:h~ r~paces for the oho~ping center and
changiny the des~.gn would delay the project.
James McCuigan, Akto[ney, Santa Ana, stated this matter was continued by the
Commisaion on June 24, 1985, and the applicant strongly opposed a continuance
at that time until the Commiasion indicated they were less than favorable to
the a~plicakion and he was yiven the occasion ta pcesen~ a r.odified site pl.an,
but there has not been a modified plan and "he applicant has not addressed tt~e
adjoining oroperty awner's concerns. He stat~d there was a 3b-f~ot wide
driveway in place on June 24 and alao thece was one p~jrking space foc evecy
motel unit, but at 7:00 a.m. on ,1une 27 a bulldozer came in and removed the
asphalt and they have no access whal•soever from Harbor Boulevard and Vermonl
Street deadends and there is almost no traffic on thac street, so they
victually have no access to the motel. Hc:~ stated the common access was shared
by the motel and servicc st~tion f~r 23 years uncler common ownership and now
the motel business car~not funclion and i~ losing revenues at ar~ astonishing
rate.
Mr. McGuigan stated he would like to c~.rECt what may be a wrong impr~~ssion
fr~m the attorney; that a lawsuit has been filed •:nd there wi11 be a hear.ing
on August 6, but khere is ~resencly a temporary restraining order to prohibit
the property c~wner~ frcm building any permanant stcucture above ground within
20 feet of the property line, an3 there is similarly a t~mp~rary restraining
order from the Grange County Superior Court that permits them to repair anc7
refurbish the sa~ne 20-foot area on the commor ~~st/west border with asphalt.
He added the Orange County Superior Court does not make such an order imposing
permissive or cesl•cictive acts on other people's pr~perty ~~,~less they feel
there is significant merit from what has been submitr.ed to them.
Mr. M~Guiqan stated he read the letter submitted by Windsor and it seems they
carry forth wil•h the 3ame theme that Mz. Woo has a problem and noted he had no
problem on Juae 23rd, and he would suggest Windsor ,~as ~ s.light problem =,nd
have perh~ps ovescommitted themselves by saying they have the units leased.
Mr. McGuigan responded to Chairwoman La Cl~:re that he believed these is

another contiigurAt~on whiah wou~d be more campatible with the Woo's operation
oP the motel. He ata~:ed there i~ a comment i~ the statement for ~ustification
tt~ar, 1.8~3/4 Eeet will be ~,'cUn fcom th~ existinq parrel for widening of l~Arbor
Boulevard, bul only 4-1/2 teet will be takent and thot there i~ a 20-foot high
buildiny proNosed wxlhin ti teet of the rnotcl of.Eice hlocking off access to the
otEic~ and one or two of the motel unit~ an~ noted that would be a ffre t~tazerd
with no emeryency access.
Mc. McGuigan s~ated staft's cecommEndation for a condition requiring
dedicatian of somz of ti~e motel property along Harbor is probably n~ce~sery
f~r aafety and if they can corne up with a plan that ie acccptable, they will
cooperatE fully and they are not adverse to development.
Rick Leslie, Architect, stated botl~ of the previous speakers have menti~ned
redesign oE the center and the~ l~ave made numerous attempta to give ttiem space
and acc:ess and have changed tt;c confiyuratic~n of their building somewhat so
they can still have access to Nacboc; however, no shopping centec can be
f lipped tu r~ny other configuratiori, pointin~ out the traffic or. Ve:~nont i~
almost ni1 anci nobody would want a comme~cial store facing a Rtreet wit~ ~o
trafYic and also because ~t the narr~w dimen~ion o~ r.-~N site, especially d~e
to the wi~eniny of Narbor and khcy are going to have to uadicate 18-1/2 feet
~or that widening. He ad~ed t.hey t~a~~e to hav~~ a dr.iveway off Nbrbor and that
this is the confiyuration of buildiny that can take place ~n this site.
Gteg Aickson s~cated they have no objection t~ a common driveway on }I~rbor
Boulevard; however, be heard n~ positivQ suggestions on c.he oppasitxon'~ part
reg3rding some of ttie 31tPrnatives they have discussed whir.h they are willing
to consider to solve this probiem. He added thece seems to be a dea~ilock and
he ~ uld sugyest that they aould be wil:!ing to aeC the buiidi~g back ten feet
and have a common driveway off tiarbor; ana that they would be wil?ing to ga
along with the l~na swap oc many oth~r atte.natives and th~y aze laoking for
dicection from lhe Commiesion.

Commissioner Herbst sCated tfe request is f~r u variance to put the building
nn the ~,roperl~+ linP and he would not vote for d wa~ver such as that which
would inteCfere with `:~~ neighbor. FIe stated this property is not adequate
for a shopping cente ittiout v~riances. Mr. Jickson stated they are willing
to relocate th~ lauiluing~ but having to provide the 1G feet on both sfdes
would make thF ptoject uneconomic~l. Commissionec I!erbst stated the prop~ ty
owners should ~e able to get together and resolve tt~e problems wit~~out having
to Urgue it out bef~re the Planning Commission.
Chairwoman La Claire stated ev;.~n if the variance is not granted, it will nat
prevent them from blocking oFf the neighbor's property, and suggested thPy

A. ~. Johnson, agent, explaine~ they propose to remodel the existing service

'~everayea~ including off-aale beer AnJ winet and that the/ Anticipate ~Oe of
he mini-~market cuatomers witl be exiating service station cuatomera who ere
A1reAdy on thP gite.
Myuny Soo Chuny, 290U W. Lincoln, AnahPim, stated he is speaking as ~ private
citizen and iA opposed to lhE request becauae there are alr~ady four liquoc
store~ in one block and this mini-market ia not needed uecause of the existing
problem with drunken dri_verss and that he is also opposed because the
bu~inesses will be destroying eacl~ other aith too m~~ny in one ~rea.
Khanh Ton, Lindale Market~ atated there nre ~even liquor st~res within a
three-block area and if thia is allowed, it will destroy his business.
Juhn Mistoquiteb (Secretary cculd not verlfy name) st~ted he is closeat lo the
gas station and he brought his market five or six yeais ago and is not evt~n
making ~ living now and if thie is al.lo~ed, it me~ns he will h~ve to close his
busine~s because they will be offeriny the same things he has to sell.
Hyo Si~ Lee, 2837 W. Lincoln, An~heim, stat~d ttiere are four liquor stores now
and approval of this will make tuo many.
Mr. Juhns~n stated most of the op~osition was to the number of stores in the
area and they £eel that most of tbeic trade wiil be with existing customer~
and they feel ~he campetition is good and they would not be looking at tY~e
are~ if they felt it was overbuil.t at this time, and the,y feel this wi:l be an
asset to khe area and neighborhood.
THE PUBLIC HEARING WAS CLOSED.
~ommissioner Mc Burney stated il is quite obvious that the Planning Commiesion
t~as an attitude tawards this type of mixtur.e between gasoline sales and the
sale of beer ar-d wine and he has t~ear~ nothing presented to change his mind
and he would still be opposed.
Commissioner Bouas asked if the mini-market with the sa~e of beer and wine
would increaAe the bus;ness, and Mx. Johnson responded it would not increase
the ga~oline sales significantly. He stated the purpose of the mini-market is
to fully utilize the property in order to remain cnmpetitive in a competitive
business. He staLed their primary pucpose is ta inerease gcoas salea by
selling other than gasolxne prod~~ts.
Commissio~rer $ouas asked xf they would be williny to have the mini-ma[ket,
witt~out the sale of beer and wine. Mr. Johnsan stated that is not economical
and the sale of beer and wine represents the difierence between a successful
ope:ation and an unauccessful operation. Mr. Johnson respdnded ta

FA~LEU TU CARRY ((:omrt:i.ssioners Nerbst, La Glaire, Lawicki, Mc Burney and Messe
voting no) that t-.~~ Anaheim City ~~lanning Cortur~ission does hereby grant wai.ver
of code requireRient on the basis that there are others in the area with the
same privile~,:^s and there is no negative impact on suzrounding propecties.
Conimissioner. Herbst ex~lAined his negative vote was because service stAtions
were yranted a privileye not enjoyed by othPr prnperties in the area in that
they were allowed to encroach on the cornera to secve the tcaveting public and
other markets t~ave had to meet setback requirement~~, etc., and the 3ervice
station~ have gotten away from se[vi.cing the traveling public by eliminating

Bruae Jordan, aqent, stated they have reviewed the conditions and agree with

asked ~o submit a parking denand study which was done and in the past a higher
degree of variance has been granted. He added these uses gen~rate ver,y little

for temporacily allowing the driveways to be blocked. Paul Singer responded
he would have no problem with temporary blockage by chaxn, provided the chain

cars displayed in fcont of the driveway will help the situation. He added he
would cecommend khat the condition only be granted for a perind of 18 months.
Chairwoman La Claace stated Condition No. 2 could be modified, Mr. Heinz

and they du not feel the satety of the neighborhood wo~~id be leopardized.
P. U. Harwell, owner of the A-plex at 1823 W. Neighbors which is next door
west to subject property, stated the two people who spoke have a great deal to
be tt~ankful for; however, he would have been more satisfied if Mr.. Belmont had
brought in aome~ of' the failures from the program. tle stated there is an error
in the staff teport which indicates the building is 4,613 square feet and all
the unit~ are alike a~nd they t~ave 3,400 syuare f.eet.
Mr. Hacwell stated h+~ understands there is going to be daytime supervision on
site anci the C.lOS@3t supervision is al• the hospi.tal over 600 or 70U feet ~away
a.t niyht and askecl if that i~ correct?
Mr. Harwell stated four yecra agc. ~hey focmed an aasocistiun in the area for
khe purpose of improving the uverall appearance, as well aE the maintenance
and repair of the neighborhood; that they presenked the Mayor and City Council
a li~t oF existing zoning violations and received the coopert-tion of the City;
that he received the notice of this hearing on Saturday and was surprised and
didn't know an,ythiny like this was being pcoposed; that on Zhursday he
received a lettec from Larry Jacobson fcom the hospital and there was nothing
in the letter about a meeting on N'riday night. He stated the Program Director
at Martin Luther stated i~ his lettet that tt~ey are proposing to use thie
property for up to lu critically depPnden~ adults, not stEreo-type street
addicts, but employed produ~~:tive members of our community who have becom•~
chemically dependent, He s~r.ated he is not we11-informed on the yood, bad, or
indifferent characterisr.ics of chemical.ly dependent adults, but fcorn z,ll he
has read a~id the numerou~ criminal acts described in newspapers a~~~ r,n
television of caurt cases in this state und his own feeling is that a dope
actdict is a dope addict, 'J:1P~her it is alcohol, pot, or. whal:ever. He stated
it is only too obvious that the hospital's pcime motivation is making money
and they don't care that 16 people will be domiciled in a residential
community where hundreds of children live. He explained al.l the four-unit
buildinys in the area contazn appcoximately 850 sq. ft. in each two-bedroom,
two-bath unit, in a medium eent range, and there are al~~~ays many small
childr~n in the area.

no homeowner in the Anaheim Shores community, which is immediately ad~acent to
the hospital parkiny lot, was n~t.ified of this proposal~ thatnMrthBelm~nt the

they have tried consistently with the City and the hospital to resolve that

communitles he cepre3ents cunsist of over 5~0 homes and this is a

this is a very poor place to tty to put a dcug rehabilitation c~nt~±r, right in

noise issue xs entirely different. He stated their power plant is on the west
s~.de ot tt~E propert~y and they do their best to try to rceep it ar quiet as
possible, but when there are emergency problems in the City, they must run thc~
emergency power and it makes noise.
Mr. belmont stated they did no~ Anticipate the kind af concern expressed here
today and they did qet the letters t~ the neiyhbor~ much too late And it
appears they needEd more time to hav~ khe q~estions ~3nswer~~d and that was not
done ana that was the I~ospitdl's error. He suggested a c~r.;;inuance ir. order

ttieir concerns. Ne stated they are concerned about wliat happens to the
neighburhood and will do evecything in their powec to work with them.
THG PU6LIC HEARING WAS CLOSED.
Chairwaman La Claire stated she thought it was a very good idea to request the
continuance. She stated substance abuse is her ffetd and she knows quite a
bit about it, ana she understands t~ow these ~laces are run and al~o know~ th~~t
the average person does not understand substance abuse, how it is treated or
~~ho the abuser ia or who becomes dependent on dcugs. She stated 1 out uf 10
Americans is an alco~iolic, and 1 ou~ 3 peof~le is affected by somebody who is
abusing something and it is a very widesprpad problem and the abusers are
people like all of us, and they are noL• th~ •skid row" type; that 43$ of the
children abused a,re moles~ed by fathers or step-fathers, and ar,other 438 are
molestzd by people they know. She stated she thought it is timc we faced the
facts and s~arted talking and listening and learniny about these things. She
added she is not saying that she is in favor oF tha.s particular facility in
this particular plac~, ~ut d,id think it behooves everyone to learn m~~re about
it and felt the continuance is appropriate so they can find out abnul :t.
Conimissioner Herbst stated khere are several o£ these type places in Southern
Califarnia and suggesteci that i£ a continuance is granted, the hospital locate
those places and take sort:e people frem the neighborhood so they can visit the

particulax proje~t either, but he wanl•~d a~l the Eact~ on the t~blet that
ther.e is a prublem in tha cammun~ty and nobudy wanta something like thi~ next

earlier showiny her praperty faciny Illinois with the rear of her property
across ttie alley n~~th vf the rear of the petitionec's lot. She stated they
have had an on-goiny parkiny pcoblem with people using the alley for parking
and she cannot enter. her garage. She stated she also has a carport or patio
which is used to pack a second cac and the 25-foot rear section of her
property wag only ar.quired 10 yeara ago fcom the prior owner and ik is vacant
property, anr~ adjacent to that between her garage and patio there is a little
space wt~ich allows her to drive her car in~a the garage ~c the carport. She
stated they have an on-going communication problem because of the language
barriec and the only concern she has technically doe~ nut deal with the
expansion o£ the front section of their duplex, but wilh theic access to their
patking area because she also has plans to build an the rea: of her pcopert}.
She stated the petit.ioner's existing gaxage (20' x 20') is on the northeast
cornec of their property which is right across from her vacant property and
Gdjacent to their garage, they have a huge metal fence built on the property
line and they cannot open the gate without driving onto her property. She
atated ahe would not deny a n~i9hbor access to hi.s yard by driving across her

of her garaga ar carpoct, she has to go over and have them move the vehicle.

to het knowledye, both duplexeH are oc:cupied, in addition to tt~e liviny
quatters in the garagP and ~hPre were tenants in the renr of. the home which
created the duplex.
Ms. Hacvey ~aked foc elaritieation ~~ ~;o what the petitioner is~ pcopooing,
wondering if they are intending to uae the two-car yarage and reconvert it and
tlien ad)acent to ~hat ~dd another 20 feet for A carpoct with a 1S-foot open

Kendra Mc~r.cies, Assiatant Planner, atated Htaff is Aware that the applicant ia
cur:rently illegally occu;ying the garage and that will be converted back to

coverEd parkiny spaces And one open apace muGt be providec3.
My. Narvey pointed out the width of the ailey varies at ~3, 16.5 and 20 feet
and explained the alley wae improved and all Che property owners were asked to
dedicake 3-.1/2 f~et And she did not c~edicatF 3-1/2 feet along her pcoperty
where the patio is lc~cal•ed because it would have destroyed the patia. She
added her only concer.n is the access and parkiny, but a coll-up door would
help the situation, however, she would still question ttie turning radiuA into
the second packing arEa, pointing oist there i~ only 16-1/2 feet between hec
fence and the petiti~ner's property line.
COMMISSIUNER FRY I.rPT THE MEETING AT 4:40 p.m. AND DID NOT. RETUttN.
Mc. Gonzales stated Ms. Harvey has never talked to him about the ptoblems;
khat st~e was right in stating t~er property was used far parkiny when t~e was
fixing up the house Gecause several family members helped. He stated she told
him that they could not park on --~er pcoperty and they did not pack there
again. He regponded to Chairwoman La Claire that thE occupants of his
properCy park in the back yard ar~d they can park 4 or 5 cars there. He
explained he built a new fence from the garage r,o the praperty line with a
gute and the gate opens toward L•he alley. He explained he will build a
carport and will install khe roll-up garage door.
Comrnissioner :~erbst stated from the plans suhmitted and the d~awing submitted
by Ms. Eiarvey, he did not know how the Commission can approve this carport
with only a 16.5-foot back-up space.

alley ia 20 feet wide. Commisaioner Herbst stated the drawing aubmitted by
th~ o~pasition ahowR the alley at one location ie 13 feQt wide and ~9lcectly
behind l•he petitioner's cACport, the alley ie 16.5 feet wide and '10 feet in
othec ar~as. Ms. Morrie~ stated Chat will have to be verified.
Jay 'ritue, Uffice Engineer, explained the properl•y owner of oubj~ct property
has dedicated 10 feat on their eide. ~ommibaioner Nerbat ~ointed out the
pet~tioner hae enown a 2U-foot alley directly behind his carport, but his.
Harvey says it is only 16-1/2 Eeet so he cannot back hia car oul• without going
onto her prope~ty.
~y Titu~ skated tt~e ulley t~as been dedicated to tt~e ultimAte l0 feet on the
south ~ide, but not on the nor.th side.
Ch~icwoman La Claire stAted there s~ems to be a discrepancy. Commissioner
Herbst stated the City haa not ~Llowed n 16-1/2 back-up space. Mr. Gonzalea
stated a lot of ~~kle park on ~h~ alley, but he does not park i~i the alley
and no one who li, s on his prnpetty parks in the alley. He explained there
ace four cars on t~is property.
Commiasioner Messe bsked what Ma. Harvey is objecting to. Ms. Harvey
responded she haa no problem with the addition, but wants to know how they
will gain accesa to their parkiny because there have been ~arking problema and
their friends do ~~ck in the alley and go ~nto subject property through a gate
and she has called the C~olice more than once to have th~ cacs removed because
Fhe cannot get out of her property. 5he stated the problem is the
encroachment on hec property of their vehicles ta make the turn to come in and
out of thQir pcaperty, and they misuse the privilege and have never ask to
park there.
Respond~ng to r.hairwoman La Claire, Mr. Gonzales stated the new addition will
not increase the number oP people living on the property, and the peorle now
living in the garage will be living in the addirion.
~omn:iasioner Herbst asked how far L•he carport will be frotn the alley. Mr.
Gonzales could not answer that question. Commissioner Herbst statec the
buildiny should be set back at least fiftf~en feet from the centerline of the
alley; that the petitioner has dedicated 10 feet from the centerline of the
alley and the garage structure should be back at least another 5 feet.
Kendra Morries stated t•he Traffic ~ngineer did appr~ve the carports with
roll-up garage doors predicated on a 20-foot back-up for the alley; however,
based on the drawiny submitted by Mr. Gonzale~, it Appears that is n~t the
case, so the 20-foot back-uQ space is even .less than the Traffic Engineer
thought. She suggested a two-week continuance to get the measurements of the
all.ey and verify through Traffic Engineering that the roll-up door is
acceptable.
Chafrwoman LaClaire asked if Mc. Gonzales would like a two-week continuance.
Kendra Morries asked Mr. Gonzales to get in touch with the Planning Aepartment
staff to revise the drawfngs. Mr, Gonzalea indicated he would like to liave the
hearing after the i0th of August.

khey are faced with some exiating aituatione with a r:layhouse, a fencp and the

Mr. Schor stated they wish to present some pcoposals to mitigate the problems
and corre some of things that were done. He present~d an exhibit ahowing
the si.x-foot wall six feet within the 33-foot setback area and explained they
pr~p oee to remove the upper three feet back to Che 33-foot setback area making
the fence three feet high because the neigl~bor, Mr. Thom, complained that the
fen c e was blocking his view of the neighbortiood. He explained the original
play house waa constructed 10 feet away fcom the praperty li.ne and the addition
is a ppsoximately 1'6' away from the property .line, and it is approximz~tely 10
or 12 feet high and they use it for storage of the bicycles and tays and as a

exactly thE projection that the neighbec ~regent:ly has for ~he metal carport

the ad joining ~coperty owner to provide air circulAki~n and the view that he
previouoly en~oyed.
Mr. Sc hor atated the last item of concern ie the doy run and he would agree
chainlfnk Eenciny was not a yood choice f.or that neighborhood, but they would
propos e to mitigate thAt with reconstruction using decorative wrought iron ai~~
also would propoce a very decorative wrought irun fence in the fxont yard in
Eront of the doy run which would add to lhe screening, ~lua shrubbery ta be
~~lante d behind it. Ne referred to an exhibit showing the wrought iron and
atated t~e thought it would be quite an enho:~cement to the neighborhood.
Mr. S c hor stated in driviny the area, he found encro~chments into the 10-foot
ae~ba c k area are quite common. Ne reEerred to garages, aviaries and a guest
home w hich ace encro~ctiing and directly acrosa the street, there ia a gacagF
encro a ching. He atated thz c_ei9hbor next door has the gara~~e and mptal awning
encr~achiny .
f3!11 Dxrlin, 727 N. Helena, stated the simple fack seems to him to be that the
petiti~ner is ctianging the front yard into a back yards that when the houae
was re modeled, a great uf ~ieal af efEo~t was put on an entrance on Wilhimenia
Stree t and the reA1 fron' ~r~~nce is tielena Street. He stated there ia a
~rablem with the ~.~y '~ ~use it ie a very noisy dog and they should have
it in the back yard. ,~ ~^' the agent did not mentioned the concrete pad
th~~t h olds t` swing se~.. •ad if that is encroaching also. He stated
thiL i s une c. :~naheim'a mo~t beautiEul street~ and there are 10 beautiful
F~omes a::d us~:~g the f.runk yard of one as a bvck yerd is comaletely r]estroying
his viQw.
Joe White, 8U9 W. Broadway, explained he is representir~g A1 Thom who is
cpniin ed and could not make it to the meeting; that Mr. Thom has lived in the
house adjacent to subject pcoperty for about 30 years and everything was fine
~antil the contractor who had no regard for Anaheim'n Zoning or Building Codes
did t his work next door with ~ 6-foot high wall ~~nich block~ Mr. Thom's view,
and t he playhouse is moce than 2UU sq. ft. in siz~ ana Mr. Thom doesn't want
to ha ve to l~ok ~t it. He stated the dog run ~s t~ctually a dog pen made of
chain link fencir~g with a top and confines a very noisy dog; and also there are
odors connected with the doy run and a clog run isn't permitted to any front
yard setback and this is a be~iutiful netghborhood and *_hete haven't been
viola tions unless they wece agreeable and in thie case, no one contacted Mr.
Thom and he is a pretty easy old gentleman to get along with. He stated the
property is not the hardship and the real hardship was created by the
contr actor. He stated h~ felt the ceyuest should b~ denied because it could
be co nsidered precedent setting. He stated the neighbors reaent something
like a dog pen in the area and considec it A blight on the neighborhood And
als~ the playground equipment on the concrete ala~ is not ~l~asing and he felt
if th ey gotten together with theic neighbora, these ~:;" °gs could h~ve been

there is plenty of property. Mr. Scho~ •..~ted khe back yard han been set

Commiss.i.oner Bouas stated maybe they ao not have room far a pool and they have
to make a decision whether to have a pool oc a place for the ahildren to play
and a place for the dag.
Mr. Schoc atated they have submilted a p.lan ta the City which shows the future

encroachir~g in the 1G-foot setback acea is a lot different than a dug run

variance is usu~lly o.k., 1E it d~esn't harm the neiyhborhood and these

a dc~g run in the Cront y~cd. He added a vAKlance goea with the property, ~nd
he thought a vaciance of this type would r.ertAinly set a precedent. He stated
impraving the dog run will not geC iC away Ecom the neighbocs and they say it
fs ~ very no~sy dog cauaing them problems day and night. He atated with th~

riyht naw it i~n't.
Commissioner Meose ~scer~~ined that the play acea concreke ~ad is new, and was
done by the present contractor.
Ch~irwoman La C'laire stated the primary concern seems to be the dog run and
the other concern is the fence L•hat is intcuding on Mr. Thom's aide; however,
t~~e si.deyard sekback has been used by ather people so she did not see any hprm
with t,he playt~~use.

unly `.a~ r.wo apartment projects and this would open up the whole area to that
much density and the tr~ffic cauld not be carried on r.he ~ead end street. She

tyNe of wall which could be used in case of emecgency.

street, ~rainage~ e~c. werN discussedt ~nd since the adoption of the GenerAl
Plan, the Commie~ion hag not deviated tirom it primaclly because it is a 3ma11
siceet and a project of this Eize would aet a precedent. He added khe General
Plan was adapted based on the desires oi' the property ownersr that other
develapers has beer- reyuired to develop with the 18-units per acre guideline
and that is neceseacy becauss th° street is not adequate. He stated after
denyiny other property owner~, he could not vote Eor appraval of this requeat.
Chairwoman La Claire stated the property could be rezoned to RM-2400.
Commiasioner Nerbst asked ~f the petitioner would li~e a continuance to revise

Genecal Plan Amendment, and Commis~ioner Herbst responded he ie a~ggesting
that the General Plan [emain RM-24U0, and he did nat think he would even
consider an amendment bec~uae the streets and drainaye in the area cannot
stand this kind of density. He stated ~very develapet that comes in usually
researches past actions of the Commission and will request tt~e same thing.
Mr. Hartman asked if the Commission would give any ~~onsideration to the wishes
of the property ownecs ~n the street.
Commissioner Herbst stated services would also have to be provided for any

propecty owners.
Kendra Morries responded to Chairwoman La Clair~ that the net density i~ 31.25
dwelliny units per net acre. She atated the statement the applicant made that
the request would be foc 7 units over the allowable is misleading because the
request is for 7 units less than would be permitted if the Planniilg Commission
granted the RM-1200 zoning, and based on the Genetal Plan deaignation of
low-medium and the zoniny at RM-2400, they could ~copose a maximum of
