The minutes of the meeting of March 5, 1969 were approved as presented.
1. Unfinished Business
(a) Continued Public Hearing - F. E. Clinton, V-15-69
.
Mr. Clinton presented revised plans shortening the encroachment of the second
story into the rear yard from five feet to four feet. The upper story would
not encroach into the required sideyards, however, the parking would need to
encroach approximately one foot into each sideyard to enable the owner to
provide the required minimum parking. Mr. Clinton stated he was willing to
dedicate an easement to the City for future widening of the alley. Mr.
Peters moved to approve the variance as amended subject to the conditions
that an easement of 6~ feet be granted to the city for public purposes, and
the carport remain unenclosed for emergency access. Seconded by Mrs. Lanning
and passed unanimously. Resolution No. 313.
(b) Continued Public Hearing - Arthur S. Boynton, Jr., V-16-69
Arthur S. Boynton, Jr., 1111 Seal Way, Seal Beach, requested a variance on
Lot 13, Block E, Tract No. 1009, to permit three apartment units with three
substandard off-street parking spaces in lieu of required five and to permit
the second story to encroach into the rear setback. Plans are similar to
those at 1009 Seal Way which were constructed prior to the revision on parking
requirements. Discussion regarding the possibility of setting a precedent.
Mr. Boy~ton advised that proposed building would not be constructed exactly
like plans show. Additional discussion concerning where residents would park
off-site in this congested area if insufficient parking provided. Mr. Barton
moved to continue the hearing until the applicant can provide plans of his
actual plans for construction. Seconded by Mr. Peters and passed unanimously.
2. Oral Communications
Frank Osborne of 1013 Seal Way stated he had received approval of a variance in
June, 1967, for parking spaces of substandard width. They did not follow through
with construction. He wondered if he could have it renewed, because he was unaware
of the new parking requirements. Approved variance would have expired in one year.
Advised he would have to file new application.
3. Written Communications
. A letter from the City Manager was received requesting the Commission to consider
proper zoning of the Dow Chemical property as soon as possible to conform with the
General Plan and Redevelopment Plan. The Chairman directed the staff to set a
public hearing.

owners as well as to issue an information release to a local newspaper.
