Commissioner Balalis expressed his feeling that
the issue was not so much the amou t of square

would be created. i
Commissioner Beek stated that the figures he has
presented have been the ones whichiassume that
the.upstairs cannot overhang the carport spaces.
He explained that the Three- and -On Plan would
Presume that one loses 96 sq. ft. rom the down-
stairs. I
Commissioner Balalis suggested tha the overhang
can be any size as long as it is o en on two
sides.
In response to a question posed by;Commissioner
Beek, Mrs. Vinje Smith stated thatithe general
feeling of the Association was tha the overhang
• was to be no farther than the setblck.
William Laycock, Current Planning Administrator,
stated that according to the Building Code, if
the garage is open or is a carport the overhang
cannot encroach into the side yard.
Commissioner Balalis stated his preference that
they adopt the minimum width of th$ parking space
to be 17'6" rather than 18' and th length chang-
e -d to 19' for two garage spaces.
Commissioner Balalis then posed a uestion, to
which Mr. Laycock replied that wit a 30' lot,
the two car garage would have a mi imum width.

In response to a question posed b Commissioner
Beek, Mr. Gloger expressed his fe ling that there
is more customer traffic than emp oyee traffic.
He also expressed his feeling that as this is a
fast -food restaurant, it will generate a great
deal of pedestrian traffic.
Jack Knor.pp appeared before the Planning Commis-
sion and stated that the concept Of. clustering
restaurants has been recognized io the industry
as.an advantage, but that he felt there was a
severe parking problem in this area. He added
that the policing of this area is a severe pro -
blem. He expressed his feeling that the survey
should not be the determining factor, as there
are so many variables, depending on the time of
year the survey is taken. j
In response to a question posed by Commissioner
Haidinger, Mr. Gloger replied tha# his survey
• was taken within the Design Plaza itself, that
all the vacant spaces were counte and that there
were 108 vacant parking spaces wi hin the Plaza.
In response to a question posed b3 Commissioner
Haidinger, James'Hewicker, Planni g.Director, re-
plied that this is a sub -lease to the applicant,
Mr. Lorenzetti.

Ron Shwartz, Attorney representing the Building
Owner, replied that they have struggled through
the parking problem for years, ex ressing his
feeling that the daytime hours of� operation of th
proposed restaurant would only senve to aggravate
the daytime parking problem in th area. He con-
cluded by expressing his feeling that a fast -food
restaurant will generate a large amount of ad-
ditional traffic.
Mr. Hewicke.r commented that staff had recently
visited the area at about 10:00 a m., and that
there were over 150 parking space open.

In response to a.question posed by Commissioner
McLaughlin; Mr. Dmohowski commented that the Ed-
wards Theatre group had discussedlthe possibility
of putting an additional pedestrian or vehicle
access between the two buildings.!
Mr. Gloger again appeared before the Planning
Commission and stated his feeling that the Irvine
Company would be interested in promoting its own
interests and expressed his feeling that the Plan
ning Commission should look beyon� that.
Commissioner Allen relayed her petsonal.experienc
from frequently being in the area that there is
a serious parking problem in thatarea.
Commission Allen then stated her preference that
the use permit be conditioned to install the
stairway and at such time as thatproved im-
possible, that the application be brought back to
the Planning Commission.
Mr. Hewicker suggested.that two conditions be
added to the use permit: 1) That there shall be
a pedestrian connection (stairwayl between Design
Plaza and the block to the north at the location
of Edwards Cinemas and 2) In the event that the
applicant cannot work with the Irvine Company to
provide said stairway, that he beI'Iallowed to come
back to the Planning Commission at a later date
for reconsideration of the use permit without the
necessity of paying another filing fee.
Robert Burnham, Assistant City At orney, stated
his understanding that Commission !r Allen desired
to grant the use permit with the ondition that
the permit not take effect until uch time as the
stairway is built. He stated tha 6 he did not be-
lieve that it was possible to gra t the permit
but forestall the occupancy.of the premises, so
that the applicant has invested s�me sum of money
with the possibility in the futur that the Plan-

Commissioner Haidinger expressed his disagreement
to tying the solving of the parking problem to
this particular application, and suggested approv-
ing this application and strongly urging the
Irvine Company to install the stailrway.
Commissioner Allen stated that she; could not sup-
port a motion to approve this application because
she could not support aggrevating ;the existing
parking problem with this intense a use unless
a stairway or some attempt to solve the parking
problem could be.included.

Commissioner Beek expressed his feeling that a
point of contention was, under what circumstances
are outside carport spaces counted as part of the
floor area of the house. He stated that there
are four suggestions in determining this: 1) The
Coastal Commission counts require ( parking spaces
regardless of what kind of spaces they are. 2)
. The Corona del Mar Development Standards Commit-
tee recommended that outside spaces are not count
ed if they are open to the sky, but they are:
counted if they have a roof over $hem. 3) The
3 -1 Plan suggests that they are ndt counted if
they have a roof over them, but arse counted if
they have a living space over them. 4) The Balbo
Island Improvement Association suggests that they
not be .counted even if they have living space ove
them. Commissioner Beek then suggested that thes
four items be given some thought.]
0
Commissioner Allen posed a question, to which
Commissioner Beek replied that thi Balboa Island
lots are small and owners want to have as much
floor area on.the lot as possible and do not wan
to count parking spaces as part o the floor area
He explained that his reason for eeling that the
parking space should be counted i it is covered
by living area is that he has seers the subterran-
ean parking in this town and thatjit does not
contribute.anything to light, airand open space,
but is.essentially part of the bulk of the house.
He stated his feeling that it is essentially a
garage with no door.
