A DECISION OF THE ZONING ADMINISTRATOR
APPROVING VARIANCE NO. 2001-04467
OWNER: Raymond D. DeBraal and Joanna L. Law
653 S. Stony Place
Anaheim, Ca 92804
LOCATION: 653 South Stony Place
CEQA STATUS: Categorically Exempt, Class 3
HEARING DATE: November 29, 2001
OPPOSITION: That although written opposition to this proposal was originally received, the opposition
was withdrawn after the specific location of the proposed block wall had been viewed,
as testified to at the public hearing.
REQUEST: Petitioner requests waiver of the following to construct a new 6-foot high block wall
within the required front yard setback of a single family residence on a reversed corner
lot with a reversed building frontage in the RS-7200 (Residential, Single Family) Zone:
Section 18.04.043.100.101(x) - Maximum fence height.
18.12.060.090 (3 feet high permitted within the required front yard setback;
and 18.26.064.110 6 feet high proposed)
Having been appointed Zoning Administrator by the Planning Director, pursuant to Anaheim Municipal
Code Section 18.12.040, to decide the above-referenced petition and a public hearing having been duly
noticed for and held on the date set forth above, I do hereby find:
1. That the waiver is hereby approved on the basis that there are special circumstances
applicable to the property consisting of its shape, location and surroundings, which do not apply to any
other identically zoned properties in the vicinity, because the dwelling is located on a reversed corner lot
with a reversed building frontage (i.e., the dwelling faces the widest frontage instead of the narrowest
frontage, which would be typical for single family lots).
2. That although no other fence height waivers have been granted within this RS-7200
zoned neighborhood, the Code deprives this property of privileges enjoyed by other properties under
identical zoning classification in the vicinity due to the irregular shape of the property and the reversed
configuration of the building frontage.
Based on the evidence and testimony presented to me, I do hereby determine to approve Variance No.
2001-04467, subject to the following conditions:
That plans shall be submitted to the City Traffic and Transportation Manager for review and
approval to verify conformance with Engineering Standard No. 137 pertaining to sight distance
visibility for wall/fence locations.
That the proposed fence shall not encroach into the public right-of-way.
3. That the required front yard setback shall be maintained in an orderly fashion through the provision
of regular landscaping maintenance and the removal of stored vehicles, trailers and automotive
parts.

4. That subject property be developed substantially in accordance with plans and specifications
submitted to the City of Anaheim by the petitioner and which plans are on file with the Planning
Department marked Exhibit No. 1, and as conditioned herein.
5. That the appropriate permit for the block wall shall be obtained from the Building Division.
That within a period of six (6) months from the date of this decision, the above-mentioned conditions
shall be complied with. Extensions for further time to complete said conditions may be granted in
accordance with Section 18.03.090 of the Anaheim Municipal Code.
7. That approval of this application constitutes approval of the proposed request only to the extent that
it complies with the Anaheim Municipal Code and any other applicable City, State, and Federal
regulations. Approval does not include any action or findings as to compliance or approval of the
request regarding any other applicable ordinance, regulation or requirement."
This decision is made, signed, and entered into the file this 6`h day of December, 2001.
