REQUEST FOR VARIANCE
Per. Markel, representing the Southern California
Telephone Co. came before the Commission to request
a.variance for proposed addition to their building
on Bay Avenue. Mr. Nelson could not grant a permit
as it is in an R -3 zone and he had suggested that
Mr. Markel request approval by the Planning Com-
mission. £Yr. Markel presented the plans of the
building with the proposed addition for the ins-
pection of the Commission.
Chairman Hopkins informed ; - ;,r. =1 -arkel that the
request must be presented in application form be-
fore it can be considered by the Commission. No
action can be taken until it is presented in the
proper form, notices sent to the surrounding
property owners and hearing date advertised, when
presented in the proper form, the commission will
be glad to consider the variance.
REVERSION TO ACREAGE
Attny. Thompson brought up the matter of the
approval of Mr. Harvey's map of Tract 1007,
suggested some action be taken on the tentative
approval of this map. He.said that rr. Harvey
had written a letter to the Commission at the
time the first maps were submitted.
Secretary read the letter dated October 13,
• 1937, received from Mr. Harvey. Thompson said
that Patterson had gone over the maps with ham
and explained them to him. Partof the property
through which the commission asked them to extend
the alley is not owned by the Newport Harbor
corporation and is improved with houses.
Mr. Greeley, one of the members of the Newport
Harbor Corp. was present and explained that they
did not intend to gcugire the property necessary
to extend the alley straight through. He said to
do so would sacrifice 3 houses of Plumer Court.
He sees no need for an alley going straight through
the property as an "L" shaped alley would give
sufficient service.
Chairman inquired of Thompson the proper pro -
cedure -in a matter of this kind.
Thompson said ^that the Comrission should ap-
prove the tentative map and then it can be submit-
ted to the Council for consideration.
The Chair ruled that no action could be taken
at this meeting since Mr. Patterson has the maps
. and he was not present to present them.
