Zone: R -2 Applicant: Mr. Ron Yeo, AIA, Corona del Mar Owner: Mr. and Mrs. T. Carter, Sacramento Appellant: Same as Applicant A letter received from Paul Hummel was distributed to the Commission for review. Public hearing was opened in connection with this matter. Ron Yeo, 604 Iris, Corona del Mar, Applicant and Appellant, appeared before the Commission in connection with this matter. He felt there was no problem with keeping the tree and retaining wall as they do not obstruct access to the garages across the alley. He presented a petition in favor of the request. Planning Commission discussed maintenance of the tree, utility lines through the tree, parking, and maneuverability within the alley. Mary Parks, 408 Heliotrope, owner of the property across the alley, appeared before the Commission in opposition to the request because the tree and wall does impair the use of her garage. Paul Hummel, 416 Heliotrope, appeared before the Commission and felt there would be a significant environmental impact if people are forced to park on.the street because they cannot get into their garage due to obstructions. He also commented on the function of alleys, trees in general, and reviewed the points covered in his letter which was previously distributed. Page 10. COMMISSIONERS CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH mt Z Q cell T June 19. 1975 MINUTES MUCA Richard Parks, 19872 Ingreness, Huntington Beach, appeared before the Commission and commented on the type of tree in question and maintenance of. same. He also commented on the problem of parking in the alley and on the street. Ron Yeo appeared before the Commission in rebuttal and advised that should the tree be required to be removed, the setback would still not be available for parking because they plan to landscape the area rather than pave it for parking. He also advised that the owners had entered into a one - year contract for maintenance of the landscaping, and commented on the removal of a utility pole located on the property without benefit of an easement. Planning Commission questioned him as to recent improvements made to the retaining wall around the tree and anticipated maintenance of the tree to keep it under control. Richard Parks appeared before the Commission to comment on the maintenance problem surrounding this particular type of tree. • There being no others desiring to appear and be heard, the public hearing was closed. Planning Commission discussed maintenance of trees, utility lines and easements. Based on the reasons that utility lines through trees are the responsibility of the utility compan- ies, maintenance of the tree was the responsibilit of the property owner, other properties do not observe the same setbacks as the property in question, utility poles are as much an obstruction as trees, maneuverability within the alley adjacen to the subject property is improved, and other obstructions in the alley create a greater impos- Motion X ition, motion was made that the Planning Commissio overrule the decision of the Modifications Committ e by approving Modification No. 900 and make the finding that it is not detrimental to the health, safety, peace, comfort, and general welfare of the neighborhood, and is not detrimental or injurious to property and improvements. In discussing the motion, some of the Commissioner • felt that approval would establish an undesirable precedent.
