Mr. Ewing expressed his opinion that the meeting should be continued until the plans are made available. -4- COMMISSIONERS CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH G m Y m x T Z RL CALL r p A p July 1, 1974 MINUTES Daniel Connelly reappeared before the Planning Commission and stated that this resubdivision has been requested by the Planning Commission and that he would need this irregardless of what he builds on the property. He further stated that the meeting is not to consider what he will be building on the property and felt that no one has a right to look at his plans at all. Harry Kamph appeared before the Planning Commission and voiced his disappointment that he was unable to receive a copy of the plans for this parcel. He felt that the people who live in the surrounding area should be able to comment as to the desirability or nondesirability of this development. He then discussed the environmental impacts'for this project. Brion Jeannette, Architect for the project, appeared before the Planning Commission and • stated that the project itself will go before the South Coast Regional Coastal Zone Commission and felt that the only thing that should be considered at this point is the combining of two pieces of land. He further stated that the project and property do correspond with the local zoning codes. Community Development Director Hogan explained that a Use Permit is not required for a re- subdivision and that the filing of any plans of development is also not required in the case of a resubdivision, although the Planning Commission has in the past reviewed the plans that have been.submitted by the developer for a development of property. Tom Kamph, Attorney, appeared before the Planning Commission and referred to Mr. Jeannette's earlier testimony. Mr. Kamph felt that there is some question as to whether or not all ordinances in respect to the property of the described new structure would comply with all the ordinances.

He felt that there is no reason for the Planning Commission to grant a postponement. Max Dillman, 1322 E. Oceanfront, appeared before the Planning Commission and voiced his opinion that the Planning Commission should not approve this resubdivision without first seeing the plans. He stated that although it is not required, it is normal that on a multiple subdivision the plans be seen. Harry Kamph reappeared before the Planning Commission and stated that heretofore some of the Commissioners have indicated that at the time of the denial of the Use Permit by the City Council that this apparently had no administrative effect on this subdivision. It was_Mr. Kamph's contention that when the City Council denied the Use Permit, they automatically cancelled the subdivision. Hord Seeley, 1307 East Balboa Boulevard, appeared before the Planning Commission and stated that he feels it should be decided what is going to be built on the property before a decision on whether or not to combine these two parcels is made. Brion Jeannette then reappeared before the Planning Commission and stated that he has been working quite closely with the Current Plans Division of the Community Development Department to be sure the project is not in violation. He stated that he showed the plans to the Planning Commission at their Study Session about a month ago when he requested an interpretation of the definition of a connection between the two buildings.
