PUBEIE HEARING RE: VARIANCE #80-2 (Reducing required front yard landscapin~ and
constructing a concrete circular drive~ 10211 Tanforan Drive): The Assistant
l'lanner presented a report from the Planning Director dated July I0 which des-
cribed the request to vary from Section 9.3.B of the Zoning Ordinance by sub-
stantial[y reducing the required front yard landscaping and constructing a
con('rete circular drive at 10211Tanforan Drive in the RS-600() Residential
Single-family Zone. Staff recommended denial of the application. Staff recom-
mended that "C" be added to the list of findings which must be made if the
w~riance is to be approved. In responding to questions from the Council, the
Assistant Planner reported that public hearing notices were mailed to all prop-
erty owners within 300 feet of the subject site and staff received no citizen
(:omplaints concerning the proposal. She also reported that out of 350 hemes in
the applicant's neighborhood five have circular drives. She reported that the
driw~s have not been permitted in the Zoning Ordinance since 1972 and those in-
stalled were either illegally installed or approved prior to 1972. She reported
that no circular drives were constructed in the original project. The City
Attor,ey advised that a variance request must be judged on its own merits and
there is no legal precedent. He stated the Council should be aware of other
uses in the vicinity of the application in order to consider whether granting of
thc, w~riance would constitute the granting of a special privilege not enjoyed bv
other properties.
Mayor Evans opened the hearing and asked if the applicant wished to speak.
Mr. ,lack Webb, 10211Tanforan Drive, Cypress, the applicant, reported that when
he ~irst contacted City staff two and a half months ago in applying for a permit
for the driveway he was told that no permits were required to construct the drive
or remove the street tree. He stated he removed the tree and spent $300 to bite
a contractor. He reported that later he was contacted by the Planning Director
who told him the driveway was illegal and recommended that he apply for the variance.
Mr. Webb reported there are five circular driveways in his immediate nelgbberhood
and that he was not asking for a special privilege. Mr. Webb reported that he
planned to remodel his home to a colonial mansion style which is why he requested
the circular drive. In discussing the application with the applicant, Mayor Evans
indicated that the purpose of the Zoning Ordinance provisions was to discourage
an inappropriate use of the front yard area, such as the permanent storage of
vehicles. Mr. Webb stated he did not plan to park any recreational vehicle but
he did plan to park bis cars on the new driveway. He presented the Council with

photographs of the other circular driveways in his neighborhood. Mr. Webb responded
to questions from the Council regarding his plot plan. He indicated he objected to
Condition #3 which requires that the 6'6" concrete paved area directly north of the
existing drive be removed and landscaped. He stated that area was paved when he
purchased his home, that most homes in the neighborhood are paved that way, and
that he only requested equal treatment.
Mayor Evans asked if anyone wished to speak in support of the application.
Mrs. Carmine Davis, 10231 Tanforan, Cypress, reported she lives next door to the
applicant and the applicant has expended $15,000 for rear yard improvements. She
felt the applicant would do a good job with the front yard. She stated she spoke
to several neighbors and they did not object to the applicant's plans.
Mayors Evans asked if anyone wished to speak in opposition to the application.
No one wished to speak in opposition.
Mayor Evans recommended that a condition be added to require that the new drive
be constructed of concrete. She asked if the applicant would object to a condition
which prohibits the permanent storage of vehicles or recreational vehicles in the
front driveway. Mr. Webb stated he would like to provide parking space for guests
but he would not object to such a condition.
It was moved by Councilman Mullen and seconded by Mayor Evans to close the public
hearing and adopt the following Resolution by title only, title as follows,
approving Variance #80-2 in accordance with Findings C, D and E of Section 17.3-7
of the Zoning Ordinance and subject to the three conditions recommended by staff
and the following additional conditions: the new driveway shall be constructed of
concrete, no permanent storage of vehicles shall be permitted in the driveway, the
applicant shall replace the street tree, and the applicant shall submit a landscaping
plan for review and approval by the Planning Department prior to the issuance of an
