Cecil Wright, Attorney, representing the applicant, appeared before the Planning Commission and stated that the conditions as well as Plan A which were recommended by the staff were acceptable.

COMMISSIONERS Y T • m l T m Z � Z A P A ROtt Call n' %idV i CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH 1974 MINUTES INDEX that the City of Newport Beach suggested same and advised that the triangle at the end of The Arcade was of no use to the applicant. He also felt that lack of parking by other businesses in the area contributed to the.traffic problem, whereas the applicant was providing parking as required by the City of Newport Beach. Robert Rubien, owner of the Crab Cooker, appeared before the Planning Commission and expressed concern over the problems of the area with the feeling that an exit between The Arcade and 21st Street was the best solution. Planning Commission further discussed the various plans including the reduction of parking spaces and the subsequent loss of occupancy load. Bill Blurock appeared before the Planning Commission and commented favorably on the restaurant operation in other locations, the fact that the applicant had purchased property in order to provide the require • parking, and that Blurock's property was a day-time operation which required low -key parking, therefor causing no major conflicts with the proposed restaurant operation or The Arcade. Cecil Wright appeared before the Planning Commission and pointed out that if any of the plans other than Plan A were imposed, the parking would be reduced, resulting in a loss of occupancy which would cause a serious problem to the applicant. He also advised there would be no live entertainment and the hours of operation would be from.5:00 P.M. to 10:00 P.M. on weekdays and 5:00 P.M. to 12:00 P.M. on the wee - ends. Planning Commission discussed one -way and two -way traffic through The Arcade onto 21st Street and the effects of same on businesses and residents in the area. There being no others desiring to appear and be heard, the public hearing was closed.

Thomson, c/o Inland Lumber Co., Colton Owner: Fred S. Thomson, Corona del Mar Engineer: Donald E. Stevens, Inc., Costa Mesa Assistant Community Development Director Hewicker pointed out that the combination of parcels would create a building site in excess of 40 feet thereb requiring 4 foot side yards. Since the southeast- erly side maintains only a 3 foot side yard which would become legal non - conforming, and in order to preclude additional hearings by the Modifications' Committee which would be necessary in order to redevelop the property, staff recommended that a condition be added whereby all new construction would conform to the required 4 foot side yard setback which in effect would grant the modifica- tion for the nonconforming 3 foot side yard. Mr. Hewicker also presented a letter received from Barbara Renard in favor of the proposed resubdivi- sion. Public hearing was opened in connection with this matter. Gordon Glass, Architect for the project, appeared before the Planning Commission to correct the staff report in that the applicant had received South Coast Regional Commission Permit P -1422 which must be modified to cover the new construc- tion and also advised that new construction on the southeasterly side would be on top of existing walls and come within 3 feet of the property line.

Lindsey Staff presented a letter to the Planning Commissio dated May 1, 1974, received from Alexander Bowie, Attorney for Mr. and Mrs. Lonnie Dunn, owners of Lot 3, Collins Island, requesting continuance of this matter pending a legal opinion from the City Attorney relative to the inconsistency between the notice of public hearing and the section of the Municipal Code under which this matter was being considered. Public hearing was opened in connection with this matter. Peter DeBaun, applicant, appeared before the Plan- ning Commission and stated that other lots on Collins Island had been subdivided into lots of less than 5,000 sq. ft., whereas his request meets the minimum Code requirement of lots containing 5,000 sq. ft. or more. Alex Bowie, Attorney representing Mr. and Mrs. Dun appeared before the Planning Commission and stated he felt the Planning Commission did not have the jursidiction to act on this matter as stated in his letter previously presented.

Jack Randall, Bank of California, executor of the estate of MacNamara, the previous owner of the property, appeared before the Commission and • presented background information relative to the existence of this particularly large lot. He also clarified the matter of ownership.of the property and commented on the problems of the island, but felt the property was far too valuable for the owner to be denied the right to subdivide same. Peter DeBaun appeared before the Planning Commis- sion to comment on the matter of parking, the proposal in general and advised that Variance 475 established setbacks for Collins Island. There being no others desiring to appear and be heard, the public hearing was closed. Discussion of the Planning Commission included the size of lots existing on the island of which some contain less than the required 5,000 sq. ft.; the parking situation; size of the existing private street; setbacks which must be maintained; and the question of whether or not the Commission had the legal ability to act on this request.
