Stoddard, 225 Jasmine, Corona del Mar: Owns the property at this address and also owns a piece of property in Tract 1026. Would like to pro- test against the ordinance. - -Tom Henderson, Attorney and member of the Realty Bce rd: Stated that the Board hadn't as ,yet come to any conclusion concerning the ordinance as a whole. Hoped this would not be the final meeting. Personally, believes the proposed ordinance is bad and that the present ordinance is entirely satis- factory. If it needs amendments, thinks they should be made instead of drafting an entirely new ordinance. Tilley would also like to get in touch with other cities using this type ordinance to find out the effect of the flexible type ordinance before submitting their findings. —Allen Stelle, 212 Dahlia Avenue, Corona del Mar: Said that he would like . the records to show that the group of nroperty owners that he represents was again present to protest Block 1312 132, & 1332 CDM, being rezoned, and that they had filed their written protest. Chairman Longmoor asked what they ' would think of having it made R -2 in those three blocks, and Mr. Stelle said that they would object to that or any other compromise —they want the zoning left exactly as it is. - -Mr. C. F. Rehnborg, owner,of Lot 89 Block 132, Corona del Mar: Stated that he had built a house there which cost a considerable sum of money with the idea that he was in a R -1 residential zone, and so naturally, does not want to see it changed now. --Mrs. L. H. Palmer, 219 East Bay Front, Balboa Island: Owns Lots 18, 19, and 20,. Block 5, Section 5, Balboa Island. Has talked with neighbors and all seem to agree that they would like the zoning to stay,R -2. Her property is not entirely built up.and in the near future would like to put an addition . on it. -- John.Shields, 1415 West Bay Avenue, Newport: Built a garage apartment on his property with intentions to later build an additional structure. In their particular block there is only one.vacant lot left; and therefore, he would like to have the zoning stay the same. --Mr. E. T. Remelin, 120 South Bay Front, Balboa Island: Has over 50 propFrty owners` signatures on a petition in protest of proposed rezoning on Agate which he will submit to the Commission. - -Helen Millar, 111: Crystal AvPnue, Balboa Island: Representing 48 nrooerty ' owners. They would like to have the coning stay R-2 on the Little Island and will file their protests with the Commission. I 109 -- Henry Millar,, 217 Crystal Avenue, Balboa- Island. Protests any change in zoning on the small island. Wants to build a second unit on his property in the future. ' - -F. W. Riley, 208 Abalone, Balboa Island. Protests a change of zoning because he has a small house on the rear of his lot and left the front open with the object of putting a nice house on the front portion some day. Would not like to see it rezoned to R -1 when so many other people have two units on their lots already. —Verne Watson, 311 Goldenrod Avenue, Corona del Mar: Inquired about the zoning on Block 233, CDM, and was told that it was now R -2 and as far as the Commission knew at the present time, it would remain R -2. —Rex Brandt, 405 Goldenrod Avenue, Corona del Mar: Protests the zoning because he believes it is: (1) Inconsistent in thinking (2) Inadequate blanketing from R -3 to R -1 (3) Corona del Mar is going to be maintaining the greatest bulk of garage houses with no chance of recourse. Chairman Longmoor asked him if he knew whether the people in this area wanted to have it changed to income property or continue as angle family zone. Mr. Brandt asked if it would help to make a survey of the neighbor- hood and the Chairman answered that it would help the Commission a great deal. —Carl Thomas, 2702 Coast Highway, Newnort Beach: Stated that although in the R -2 zone, there has frequently been built single family resideices, he didn't believe that to be a Precedent because just about the time we started to grow down here, the war came along and were curtailed in the building. The fact that they have only one unit on doesn't show their desires, but it was more of a financial and material Problem. —P. J. Wilson, 919 Fast Balboa Boulevard, Balboa: Inquired about zoning around Block 14 of Balboa Tract and was informed that it is now R -3 and no change was proposed at this time. - -@fallace Calderhead, 712 Iris Avenue, (brona del Mar: Owns Lots 12 & 14P Block 736. Wished to add protest on any change it Corona del Mar. Feels that there's already too much R -2 in the city and doesn't want to.see any more R -3 go in at all. —Mr. Henderson; Has heard a great many comments that out-of-town owners had not been notified of the Proposed zoning plaitfand would like the Plan- ning Commission to notify them. Chairman Longmoor asked if he wanted to get a budget for postage from the City Council for such notification. - -Mr Stoddard expressed his confidence in the Planning Commission and their judgment and said that he thm ght they should have more power. ' —Mr. Henderson stated that the ordinance does not tell you what you can do with a piece of property when you buy it and wanted to see the old ordinance amended. Ito --Ruth Waigandy 1133 Balboa Boulevard, Balboa: SEi 15, 16, Block 1$, ESA: Being changed from R -1 to R -3•' Greatly. in favor of this. Would like to see the Planning Commission have the authority to supervise what the R -3 can be used for and also have the right to regulate construction and size of the buildings according to the area and space. Chairman Longmoor asked for any comments from Mr. Prise who said that the Commission wants and should take a lot of time in studying the protests and suggestions th?t had come in and that it should spend the neat several months in going over all these things. There being no further comments, Commissioner. Ellerbroek made a motion that the hearing be cloned and that the matter be taken under advisement for further study, seconded by Commissioner Nightman and carried.
