Said property has already been divided by sale and is Lot 1 & prtn. under investigation by the Zoning Investigator for violation of Lot 3, Blk. 237, Subdivision Ordinance #650. CDY Tract BUILDING SITE #1 - consisting of the southeasterly seventy -one (71) feet of Lot #1 and the adjacent southwesterly 15 feet of (corner lot) Lot #3, in Block 237, Corona del Mar Tract with 45 foot frontage by seventy -one (71) feet deep with an area of 3196-square feet.

Present carport is covered to rear of pr ®posed building site line instead of to the required 10 foot setback. A 20 foot side setback along the rear 20 feet of site along Seaview is required, 6 feet exists.) ' (reverse BUILDING SITE #2 - consisting of the northwesterly forty -seven frontage lot) (47) feet of Lot #1 and the adjacent northwesterly fifteen (15) foot portion of Lot #3 in Block 237, Corona del Mar Tract with a 47 foot frontage by 45 foot depth and an area of 2115 square feet.

There are no exceptional or extraordinary circumstances or hardship that can be recognized under Section 9106.3 of the Municipal Code. The Planning Commission cannot condone by Var- iance the creation of illegal building sites or zoning violations which would in effect nullify the Zoning Restriction. The hearing was closed on motion of Como Copelin, seconded by Como Lind, and carried. ' Como Rudd moved that the application be DENIED, seconded by Como Copelin, and carried by the following roll call vote, to -wit: ALL AYES 135 (Set over from meeting of February 17, 1955.) Application of Everett Kruwell to permit the resubdivision of a parcel of ground consisting of 'Lot 9, Block 51, River Section, as V - #204 recorded in Book 4, Page 25, of Orange County Maps into two build- ing sites as follows: Kruwell, Everett BUILDING SITE #1 - consisting of the southerly 104 feet of said Lot 9 with the original 30 foot subdivision frontage and an area Lot 9, Blk. 51, of 3120 square feet. River Section BUILDING SITE #2 - consisting of ths..remaining northerly portion of said Lot 9 and an adjacent parcel attached to said Lot 9 by Granted adjustment of the Santa Ana River Channel with an area of 2060.60 square feet and a 30.02 foot frontage on River Ave, and an average depth of 102.025 feet. The hearing was declared open. FINDINGS: A survey of the entire area between River Ave. and the Pacific Electric right -of -way and between 47th St, and 54th St. was made by the Administrative Assistant and a Master Plan to govern any further subdivision of this area was laid out as a guide. The lots are too deep in relation to width for good development and have frontage on two public right -of -ways. Subdivision will have to be a lot or two at a time instead of the whole area as a whole due to the varied ownership. By dividing these lots a development of the area is possible, and the costs of improvement can be divided among more people. This land has been dormant for years and will become an improved part of City growth. The hearing was closed on motion of Com. Copelin, seconded by Com. ' Reed, and carried. Com. Copelin moved that the application be granted, seconded by -Com.

This initial construc- tion was in violation of Section 9105.4(f) which requires a five (5) foot setback from any alley line if the accessory building is placed one foot from a side lot line. On June 28, 1954 Building Permit #15549 was issued for an addition to the dwelling, under the provision that the garage wall in violation would be relocated to the four foot side setback line, and which relocation was shown on the plan submitted as a part of the work to be done under the permit. The wor4 was halted during progbess (cont. next page) 136 by Mr. Brown, Building Inspector, because the wall had not been relocated.
