MOTION by Sharp; SECOND by Law to approve the Planning Commission Consent Calendar as presented. MOTION CARRIED: A YES: 5-0 Sharp, Law, Dahlman, Brown, Campbell PUBLIC HEAlill{GS 6. Height Variation 95-1 Address: Applicant: C-19 Surfside Jane Clement Staff Report Mr. Curtis presented the staff report. [Staff report on file in the Planning Department]. The applicant, Jane Clement, requested Planning Commission review and approval to construct a covered roof access in excess of the height limit in conjunction with the construction of a new single family dwelling at C-19 Surfside. Commission Ouestions re Staff Report Commissioner Campbell asked if the Planning Commission had approved this type of configuration in the past? Mr. Curtis said yes. Public Hearing Jane Clement * C-19 Surfside Ms. Clement said she read the staff report but found some parts difficult to understand. Chairman Dahlman asked if staff had explained to her the criteria for CRASs and the way in which her proposal exceeds the criteria? Ms. Clement said she realized the height limit for the house was 35'. She felt the proposed CRAS was a little tall but was possibly within the 7' allowed. Chairman Dahlman explained the proposed height was not a problem but the shape was. Chairman Dahlman asked Mr. Curtis if staff had been dealing with somemone other than the applicant? Mr. Curtis said yes, he had been speaking with Mr. Hart, the architect, as well as Ms. Clement. Mr. Curtis said the structure is not that much larger than what is allowed through the policy statement. By sloping the roof it would have less height and bulk than a rectangular box. Commissioner Sharp favored this slanted design over a box-like design. Page 3 - City of Seal Beach P1anning Commission Minutes of March 8, 1995 . Chairman Dahlman said that barring some compelling reason to vary from the statutes he would pay attention to a design appropriate for the neighborhood and protection of primary view. He said he did not like to consider view to decide these issues but when varying from required minimums every aspect should be considered. Ms. Clement said she was not aware of anyone's view that she would be blocking, adding all her neighbors had received a Notice of tonight's hearing. She said the houses on A and B rows are smaller houses. Commissioner Cambpell asked what the maximum width of a CRAS is? Mr. Curtis said 4' x 10' x 7' would be the maximum. Mr. Curtis said this is slightly less in volume than what would be allowed. The overall height of this structure is slightly less than a 4' x 10' box because as it declines the overall height cuts down by 6". Ms. Clement said her architect designed this CRAS so it would be aesthetically pleasing. Chairman Dahlman closed the Public Hearing. Commission Comments Commissioners Sharp, Law and Brown said they favored this design over a box-like design. Chairman Dahlman asked about the Noticing. Mr. Curtis explained the Notices were mailed to property owners only and he could not attest to whether the residents are owners or renters. . Mr. Steele said Conditon #2 of Section #6 should have a typographical error corrected to read "95-1" rather than "94-5". MOTION by Sharp; SECOND by Law to approve the Planning Commission Resolution No. 95-6, approving Height Variation #95-1. MOTION CARRIED: AYES: 5-0 Sharp, Law, Dahlman, Brown, Campbell Chairman Dahlman stated the ten calendar day appeal period begins tonight. STAFF CONCERNS There were no staff concerns. COMMISSION CONCERN.s Overconcentration of ABC Licenses Commissioner Campbell discussed overconcentration of ABC licenses She asked to have the calculations for this issue researched. . Page 4 - City of Seal Bw:h P1anning Commission Mmutea of March 8, 1995 . Notice Requirements to Include Tenants Commissioner Campbell said she thought Noticing requirements should be City-wide and should include tenants, not just property owners. Mr. Steele said he thought the prior discussion on Noticing was a one-time only notification. The Notice provisions regarding owners of property within 300' are in State law and the City's municipal Code. Any changes would have to be undertaken by the City Council and perhaps by State law, which the City would have no control over. The City requires publication in the newspaper and direct mail notification to property owners with the thinking being that publication in the newspaper handles those persons not receiving direct mail notification. This is a little more than is required by State law. Because State law mandates certain things he was not sure the City Council could change the procedure; he will have to research this further. The Commission discussed renter's rights and property owner's rights. Mr. Steele said this issue will be agendized and a staff report will be brought back to the Planning Commission. Chairman Dahlman asked if review of the Bixby EIR would take place at the March 22nd meeting? Mr. Steele said no, the Responses to Comments is still in preparation and this will first go to the Environmental Quality Control Board (EQCB). ADJOURNMENI Chairman Dahlman adjourned the meeting at 8:25 p.m. . Respectfully Submitted, ~o~o-.~ Joan Fillmann Recording Secretary APPROV AL: The March 8, 1995 Planning Commission Minutes were approved on ~ck ~~ 1995. ~ .
