Variance of a parcel located at 3130 Seaview Ave. consisting
VanEvery,
of Lot 1, and the southwesterly J of adjacent Lot 3 into two
James
building sites, each of which now contains an existing dwelling
unit. 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.
(If subdivided the following items are in Variance with the Code-
Code requires 50 foot front, 70 foot depth and 5,000 square foot area.
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

foot high wall exists around the proposed front setback, and 3
feet high only is allowed. A possible 2nd rental unit exists
on first floor.)
The hearing was declared open.
FINDINGS: Two public hearings were held and a careful study made
the Planning Commission and-the City Attorney. The proposed sub-
division creates two illegal building sites which do.not comply
with building site area, tuilding setbacks, width, or depth
requirements of the Zoning and Subdivision Ordinances, as stated
above. 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:

(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. Rudd, and carried by the following roll
call vote, to -wit:

garage is also one foot from the alley line, 5 feet is the required
setback from any alley line when the side setback is one foot for a
detached garage. (Code Section 9105.4(e) indicates that the existing
garage building was in violation prior to any additional.construc-
tion.)
A letter was received from Mr. Alexander" attorney for Donald Metz,
aking that the hearing be postponed due to illness of Mr. Metz who
is unable to attend the hearing. On motion of Som. Copelin, seconded

FINDINGS: The applicant elected to construct a detached garage one
foot from the side lot line under Section 9105.4(£) of the City of
Newport, Beach Municipal Code, and one (1) foot from the alley line under
Building Permit #12253 issued January 22, 1951. 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

by Mr. Brown, Building Inspector, because the wall had not been
relocated. Mr. Nelson, then Chief Building Inspector, received
V - ;`206 promises that the wall would be relocated if he would allow the
work to continue, which he did. The job was closed up to an
Metz, Donald apparent finished state without relocating the wall. The violation

right to file for a Variance. There are no unusual or extraordinary
circumstances nor hardship which can be recognized under Section
9106.3 of the Municipal Code. The Balboa Peninsula Point Assn.
unanimously protests this Variance. Other protests were voiced at
the hearing.
The hearing was closed on motion of C. Lind, seconded by C. Rudd,
and carried. C. Copelin moved that the application be DENIED,

The hearing was declared open. Warren
FINDINGS: The original application was for a 10 inch projection into
the front setback. The Balboa Peninsula Assn. unanimously protests Lot 23, B1k.E
the Variance as per attached letter. It is evident that an error has Tract #518
been made in measuring to locate the front wall of the building. The
foundation location was checked by the building inspector at the 10
foot setback line. Footings for the structural fin projections
were poured after the inspector made his check and the error was Granted
caught by Mr. Brown, Building Inspector, while inspecting the frame -
structure. The applicant has thus requested a variance and work
was stopped on the front wall of the building.. The front property
line is on a radius concave toward the street, and the 4 inch pro-
jection of the front wall of the building will not seriously impair
the view of the property on either side. The Commission finds no excuse
for this situation and cannot condone violations.

Other cities have required residential type.structures or struc-
tures in keeping with the surrounding construction to house such
installations. The Edison Company should be required to include
'
a beautification program for this project in keeping with good
planning rather than enlarge an installation which is a permanent
eyesore. This was brought to the attention of Mr. Shedenhelm of
the Edison Co. by the Administrative Assistant and he said he
would take it up with the Edison Co.
On motion of Com. Copelin, seconded.by Com. Budd, and carried,
this application was set over until next meeting, for a beau-
tification plan to be submitted.
