known as Variance No V-243 The Chairman declared the public hearing open The Secretary read Staff Report PC#67-2 which outlined the nature of the request and the following facts. 1 The applicant had constructed the structure without benefit of a building permit and necessary inspections and had been directed to stop work by the Building Department The applicant proceeded with work on the structure after receiving said notice, thereby causing the City to take legalaction in Court 2 The applicant was aware of the Variance procedures of the City since he had previously obtained a Variance for a slight encroachment into the sideyard for his patio structure 3 The applicant's plot plan indicates there is a fifteen inch (15") setback from the wall of the structure to the side property line, while a field investigation revealed that the structure is built immediately adjacent to a concrete block wall which exists between the applicant s property and the property to the north A check of the Building Department files revealed the plot plan indicating placement of the wall on the property line• therefore causing the staff to assume that the applicant's structure is built at a zero (0) setback instead of the fifteen inch (15") setback indicated on the plot plan 4 Investigators from the Orange County Fire Marshal's Department after inspecting the situation, had stated they felt it was a hazardous situation from the standpoint of accessibility around the dwelling unit in the event of fighting fires 5 As advised by the Building Department --- "The proposed structure is in violation of Sections 16706 1 16707, and 16708 1 of the State of California Housing Act, which sets minimum standards for the construction of residential dwellings within the State of California " The Staff Report further advised the Commission that, in order for the Commission to grant a Variance, they must find that there are special circumstances relating to the subject property, and there is a hardship which because of special circumstances would make it impractical for the owner to construct in conformance with the Zoning Ordinance It also stated it was the staff s feeling that the applicant, in this instance, had created his own hardship by illegally constructing the structure without a building permit and without checking the building requirements of the City prior to the start of construction The Secretary stated it was the staff recommendation, as stated in the Staff Report, that Variance No V-243 he denied The Secretary then reported that after the Staff Report had been written Mr Chatfield had met with him and had indicated his intention to remove that portion of the structure that would he in conflict with the State Housing Act and Fire Marshal's standards- that there would be a three foot (3') encroachment into the sideyard setback when the structure is revised The Secretary also reported that there was a conflict between Mr Chatfield and the Building Department as to whether or not the plumbing fixtures were installed at the time Mr Chatfield was directed by the Building Department to stop work The Chairman asked if anyone in the audience wished to speak for or against the requested variance Mr Chatfield applicant addressed the Commission speaking in favor of the requested variance, stating he had some of his neighbors with him to speak in favor, who could also verify that the plumbing was in before he was told to stop work Mr John Dirkson, 6381 Fred Drive, Cypress, addressed the Commission speaking in favor of the request, stating he was an adjacent neighbor and had no objections to the construction of the structure Mr Will Crohman, 9818 Gene Street, Cypress, addressed the Commission stating he lived across the street from the applicant, had observed the construction, and advised the Commission that the structure was in its present form at the time the Building Inspector told Mr Chatfield to stop work Commissioner Hickey asked the applicant if he knew that he needed a Variance before he built the structure, due to his previous experience in obtaining a Variance Mr Chatfield replied that he was aware of the fact before he started construction Commissioner Hickey then asked the applicant why he did not apply for the necessary Variance Discussion was held in reference to the plumbing for the structure Commissioner Baroldi stated he felt a representative of the Building Department should be present to testify in this case especially when there was a conflict as to whether or not the plumbing had been installed at the time the stop work order had been issued iC See Minutes of January 19 1967 meeting The Secretary then advised the Commission that the only item to be considered was the Variance• not the conformance of the structure with the Building Code, which would be taken into consideration and enforced if the Variance were approved Commissioner Worley stated he had no objection to the three foot setback, as proposed by the applicant, but, he did not like the way the applicant had ignored the City ordinances There being no written communications and no oral

encroachments. He then stated he was very much opposed in this case especially after discovering the applicant had knowingly violated the City ordinances, he felt the City must take a stronger stand in the case of such "bootleggers" or such cases will increase in the future Commissioner Borders stated he agreed with Commissioner Hickey in most cases, regarding encroachments into the sideyards, however, he felt the location of the house in relation to the neighboring lot, on the side in which the structure is located, had an effect upon his decision in this case He explained that the backyard of the adjacent lot hacked up to the sideyard in question, therefore, he felt there was no extreme hazard in regard to accessibility for fighting fires, as there would be if the house on the adjacent lot were placed with its sideyard adjacent to Mr. Chatfield's Commissioner Hickey stated he felt the structure, aesthetically, looked like a lean-to and thoughtthe Commission should consider the neighboring property not the property owner presently living on the property which probably would change in the future Pe stated that the new occupant might strongly object to such a structure being viewed from his backyard Commissioner Smith stated he had voted "No" on the motion to deny the Variance because he would like to see a list of conditions the staff would recommend if the Variance were to be approved The City Attorney advised the Commission that it might he hest to ask the applicant if he would consent to the continuance of consideration for two weeks, until the next meeting of the Commission The Commission asked Mr Chatfield if he would consent to such a continuance Mr Chatfield replied that he would agree to the continuance to the next meeting of the Commission The following roll call vote was taken on Commissioner Borders' motion to postpone action untilthe next regular meeting of the Commission, January 19th 1967 to allow the staff time in which to draft a set of recommended conditions if the Variance were to be approved, which had been seconded by Commissioner Worley.

The Chairman asked if anyone in the audience wished to speak for or against amending the Zoning Ordinance No 90 to require Conditional Use Permits for service stations in any zone within which they were a permitted use. Mr Bob Harrison, representing the Western Oil and Gas Association, addressed the Commission and stated that his company was not aware of all the information which had been presented to the Commission; however, they felt service stations, as other businesses in the community, should be treated as commercial property and a zoning ordinance should not be used as an economic control They did not feel it would be proper or good business for the City, and that the City, in its consideration for making businesses in Cypress compatible for the investors, should take into consideration those elements of physical outlay, etc and leave the economics to the healthy free enterprise system that they are now enjoying Mr Harrison expressed the fact that they have attempted to work with the City to achieve the desired results and believed this offer was being considered.

Discussion was held in reference to use of architectural review and Conditional Use Permits Chairman Hickey asked if many cities have the criteria contested, to which the Assistant City Attorney answered, yes, and stated that proper drafting of the criteria would determine this. Chairman Hickey addressed a question to Mr Harrison asking whether or not his Association was in favor of the architectural review criteria or Conditional Use Permit Mr Harrison replied that they did prefer to see definite standards as a part of an ordinance and law, however, they also realize that there are times when this is not possible From their standpoint they did feel that it would be to their advantage to have a criteria set up and permits issued according to these standards Mr Harrison further stated that Western Oil and Gas Association would like the opportunity of working with the City to establish standards The Secretary advised that, at the next Planning Commission meeting the guide standards, which are now being set up, could he reviewed and could also be sent to everyone concerned, with the understanding that they are only a draft of standards Commissioner Borders expressed his agreement and stated that, if it were not a Conditional Use Permit, it would be more flexible for the changing ways of the City and felt there should be some way of accomplishing this Chairman Hickey asked the Assistant City Attorney if a great deal of trouble would be involved in changing the criteria and, if, with the variance procedure, the City would be able to establish useful criteria that could keep undesirable businesses out The Assistant City Attorney advised that the concern for flexibility is necessary but all businesses must be treated equally There must be criteria and limits within which permits can be granted It was moved by Commissioner Borders seconded by Commissioner Holden and unanimously carried to continue the public hearing to consider amending the Zoning Ordinance No 90 to require Conditional Use Permits for service stations in all zones within which they are specified as a permitted use to the next regular meeting of the Commission, September 7 1967.

The Chairman declared the public hearing open and asked the Secretary to review the previous action taken on the item The Secretary read Staff Report PC#67-46 to the Commission and reported that the staff recommended denial of this application at the last meeting and had requested the applicant to consult an architect to bring the condition of the home into conformity with the neighborhood The Secretary further advised that architectural plans had been submitted and would be available at the desk for anyone to look at closely, and one copy of the architectural drawings were posted on the bulletin board. At the request of the Chairman, the Secretary reviewed the past history of the lots in question The Chairman asked if anyone in the audience wished to speak for the approval of Relocation Permit 4138, for Mrs. Hope Vieira Mr Chuck Baldwin, 15742 Swan Lane, Huntington Beach, California, addressed the Commission and advised that he was speaking for the applicant. He stated that this was not a case of buying a house and moving it, but that the applicant has owned this home for years and that the School District acquired the property on which the house is now located, leaving her with the house only. Mr. Baldwin advised that he has seen the house in question and the existing homes surrounding the lot in question In his opinion the vacant lots, as they are now, are no asset to the homes in the area He also advised that, in of er to conform with the homes in the area, a regular cedar shingle roof would be put on the home rather than shakes as shown in the architect's drawings The Chairman asked if anyone else in the audience wished to speak for this application No one responded, at which time the Chairman asked if anyone in the audience wished to speak against Relocation Permit 4138 Mr. Yark, 5932 Marion, Cypress, addressed the Commission and stated that he lives approximately 300 feet North of this property on the South side of Marion Mr Yark requested that the previous reference to FHA appraisal be reviewed. The Secretary, at this time, related a phone conversation he had had with an FHA representative who stated that it was their feeling that having the older home in the tract would not affect the value of the homes in the area at the present Mr Yark expressed his concern over a 23 -year old home coming into the area and possibly bringing with it termites, etc THE CHAIRMAN DECLARED A TEN MINUTE RECESS FOR THE PURPOSE OF REVIEWING THE ARCHITECT'S PLANS OF THE HOME IN QUESTION AND FOR AN INFORMAL QUESTION AND ANSWER PERIOD WITH MEMBERS OF THE STAFF BUILDER AND AUDIENCE. CHAIRMAN HICKEY CALLED THE MEETING BACK TO ORDER The Chairman asked if there was anyone else in the audience who wished to speak against Relocation Permit 4138 Mr Tom Greer, 5953 Mildred, Cypress, addressed the Commission and advised that he lives five doors East of the subject property, and that he is a new owner in the tract. He stated that he had received a notice of the public hearing and after doing so, made of survey of the homeowners in the tract to find out who had received notices In this survey he found that only twelve out of forty-four had received said notice He further stated that he had talked to 90% of the homeowners in the tract and out of that number, all voted "no' on having this older home in their tract, except for two Mr Greer also mentioned the footage which would be allowed around the garage and advised of an instance in which the Planning Commission had turned down an application from someone in the tract to build a garage in his back yard because of footage allowances Mr Richard Sales, Mildred Street, Cypress, addressed the Commission stating his objections to the relocation Mr Jack Vandenbos, 5911 Mildred, Cypress, addressed the Commission and stated he is concerned that if this application is approved for a move -in it could also apply to the other three lots in the area Mr Jack Clower, 5954 Mildred, Cypress, addressed the Commission and stated his concern for the other three lots Mr. Frank Davis, 5912 Mildred, Cypress, addressed the Commission and stated his objection. Mr Jerry Stalberg, 5952 Mildred, Cypress, addressed the Commission and stated that he purchased his property after much consideration and feels this move -in would be the first move to a drop in property value. Mr Clifford Whales, 5944 Mildred, Cypress, addressed the Commission and stated he would prefer a new smaller dwelling on this lot rather than this older home Chairman Hickey asked if there was anyone e1sF who wished to speak against this permit After no one spoke up he gave the builder a chance at rebuttal, at which time Mr. Chuck Baldwin again addressed the Commission and commented on statements made by those speaking in opposition to the relocation Mr Tom Greer, 5953 Mildred Cypress addressed the Commission and stated that Mr Baldwin had told him he owns all four lots and it was determined that builder, Chuck Baldwin, does have an option on the lots. Mr Greer also asked why the applicant was not present at this public hearing Commissioner Borders asked if the house location on the lot would meet all the specifications of a new home being built on the same lot The Secretary replied to the affirmative Commissioner Borders also advised the audience that any home being moved in would have to come before the Planning Commission for review prior to moving Chairman hickey asked if there were any questions by the Commissioners Commissioner Borders stated he felt an additional condition should be added requiring that the builder add a block wall fence to the rear of the property to have it conform with property in the area. The Secretary asked that Condition 420 be added requiring another $5,000 bond to guarantee architectural conformance with the submitted plans Chairman Hickey advised those present that the public hearing was now closed and invited discussion by the Commissioners Commissioner Borders stated that, in reviewing the conditions and, in view of the fact that the drawings indicate all proposed conditions of the permit were being complied with, in his opinion, the move -in would not be detrimental to the property value of the homes now in the area, therefore, he could find no reason to deny the permit. Commissioner Smith stated that, although the home's exterior would be remodeled nothing had been said of the interior and, in his opinion, if nothing was going to be done to the interior, the value of the home would be affected Chairman Hickey stated buildings meeting the minimum requirements could be built on the lots in question at any time without the consent of the Commission The Secretary advised that, in his opinion, no one would build a minimum home on property costing $8,000 per lot; however, prices could drop on the property and if this were to happen, the value of buildings constructed on the property could drop also The Chairman stated that, in his opinion, there were two things which must be considered• the first being that this would be the first case of moving an older home into an R-1 residential area In the past, homes have been moved into areas where homes are of approximately the same value Secondly, the relocation problems which could develop in the future. Commissioner Borders reminded the Commission that, at the last meeting the applicant was asked to bring architectural drawings showing that the house could be brought up to certain standards and, since these requirements had been met, he felt the home should be allowed to go onto the property It was moved by Commissioner Borders that the Planning Commission approve the application for Relocation Permit 4138 The motion died for lack of second. Commissioner Smith stated that he felt placing this home with the homes now in the tract could do nothing but decrease the value of the other homes He afiain questioned plans for the interior of the home in question The builder, Chuck Baldwin, addressed the Commission and stated that there were no major plans for remodeling the interior, but the house would be cleaned up. Chairman Hickey directed a question to the Assistant City Attorney, asking whether FHA would appraise the home from the inside as well as the outside, and was advised by the Assistant City Attorney that a good appraisal company would consider everything and that FHA does not appraise homes unless there is a loan application. Commissioner Holden stated that he felt a 23 -year old home could not hope to compare to a 3 -year old home no matter what repairs were made and he felt it unfair to subject the homeowners living in the area to this move -in. Chairman Hickey stated he was opposed to the home being moved in and would rather take a chance on what might happen to the property in the future It was moved by Commissioner Holden, seconded by Commissioner Smith and carried that Relocation Permit 4138 be denied at this time At the direction of the Chairman, all Commissioners present cast their vote, with the following results.

The Secretary advised that the parking spaces shown would be enlarged to conform with the City Code Mr Riddle advised the Commission that curbs, etc , would not be put in on "Phase A" of the plans because of the drainage problem. The Chairman asked if anyone in the audience wished to speak against tha issuance of Conditional Use Permit No C-206. Mr Tom Wetzel, 3922 E Florence, Bell, California, addressed the Commission and stated that he owns property across from the subject property and has owned this property for about 25 years He stated that he had a redi-Mix plant at that location and when the property was annexed into the City of Cypress the zoning was changed from an M-1 to C-3 and he had to close his redi-Mix plant, which he did In his opinion, if this permit is granted, he should be allowed to enjoy the same privileges of operating a redi-mix plant in the area A discussion followed by members of the staff to review the Zoning Ordinance Chairman Hickey advised that the reason for expansion of the C-3 zoning area was thoroughly discussed at the last meeting of the Planning Commission.

Commissioner Hickey stated his concern was in guaranteeing that the easements would be displayed to the individual purchasing the lot. In answer to a question from Commissioner Smith, the City Attorney advised that easements could be exchanged between property owners without approval of the Planning Commission He explained that the only item the Planning Commission must act on is allowing the proposed model to be built on the model site The Secretary advised the Commission that the City had no control over the granting of easements, this was why the staff had recommended approval, subject to the conditions regarding displaying the map showing the easements and requiring the approval of the Planning Director in regard to the placement of the homes on the lots, in order to make sure the property owners would know what they were buying.
