APPROVAL OF AGENDA
Staff requested Item US, Minor Plan Review #94-2, be removed from the Consent Calendar for
discussion because the Consent Calendar needs to indicate what action is proposed for that
matter. Since this is not shown on the Agenda, staff requests it be moved to allow discussion.
In the future, the Agenda will show the listing of the various items and a recommended
Commission action.
Staff indicated Item #6, Variance #94-1, was requested to be continued by the applicant. It was
determined this item will be scheduled for the May 4, 1994 meeting.
Staff recommended Item #8, General Plan Amendment #94-1 and Zone Change #94-1 be
rescheduled to allow re-Noticing. The Commission discussed the fact that Commissioner
Campbell will be absent from the May 18th meeting and Commission Soukup will be out of the
city for three weeks beginning May 20th. It was agreed to reschedule this item for the June 22,
1994 meeting.

Mr. Steele explained several reasons to request an agendized item be pulled from the Consent
Calendar, such as (1) members of the public who want to speak on an issue and either a member
of the public, staff or a Commission member may request an item be pulled for that reason; (2)
if a Commissioner anticipates voting no or against the staff recommendation on an item, that
would be a reason to pull it; (3) if Commission has questions of staff, the public or anticipates
some discussion among the Commission.
Vice Chairman Soukup stated an Orange County Register article had a misunderstanding of the
Consent Calendar in an article, noting the article said the Planning Commission was going to
review Item #4 instead of receive and f1le Item #4.

Staff Report
Mr. Curtis presented the staff report; staff report on ftle in the Planning Department. The
applicant, Stephen Wack, is the contractor for Don Wasson, the property owner. The request
is for the addition of 120 square feet to a non-conforming garage which is non-conforming due
to inadequate side and rear yard setbacks. Mr. Curtis said he spoke with the applicant who
agreed to amend his application to provide the required 9' setback for all parts that are being
added so the addition will not compound the existing non-conformity. Mr. Curtis read the four
Conditions of Approval and recommended a fifth Condition be added:
5. The plans be amended to provide a minimum setback of nine feet (9') for any
additions being proposed.
. Commission Comments on Staff Report
The Commission asked about fireproofmg the garage. Mr. Curtis explained it would need
required drywall, openings sealed, and be taped and mudded.
Vice Chairman Soukup said the plans the Commission is looking at do not indicate the addition
will be set back an additional few feet. Mr. Curtis agreed, noting this was discussed after the
application was submitted.

Staff R~rt
Mr. Curtis presented the staff report; staff report on file in the Planning Department. The
applicants, Joe and Adrienne Kalmick, requested the addition of a second story living room with
roof deck, expansion of existing a second story master bedroom and deck and covered roof
access structure. The property is non-conforming property due to inadequate setbacks. Mr.
Curtis noted staff received a letter in support of this application from Sharon and Donald Davis,
109 Electric Avenue, Seal Beach.
Commission Comments on Staff R~ort
Vice Chairman Soukup asked Mr. Curtis to explain the staff report's statement" ... will serve
no public purpose". Mr. Curtis explained that requiring the applicant to move the second story
back five inches while allowing the garage to remain in its present position would serve no
practical purpose or public good.
The Commission noted the garage in question would not be undergoing any remodeling and
asked if the building would be re-stuccoed or repainted on the outside. Mr. Curtis said yes.
Public Hearing
Joe Kalmick * 1603 Seal Way. Seal Beach
Mr. Kalmick introduced himself as the applicant and property owner. He explained his proposal
is to add a second story living room to the front of his house. They are converting from three
bedrooms, two and a half baths to two bedrooms and two baths. He indicated his neighbors to
the East and West have given him verbal approval to indicate their full support.
No one in the audience wished to speak for or against this proposal. The applicant did not wish
to rebut and the Public Hearing was closed.
Commission Comments
Vice Chairman Soukup asked Commissioner Law how she liked the covered roof access
structure (CRAS) and the glass block? Commissioner Law said she admired the design because
it matched the rest of the glass block used in the design and she felt it is definitely not a quasi-
observatory .

Page 6 - City of Seal Beach Planning Commission Agenda of April 20, 1994
Vice Chairman Soukup asked if he could make comments of a political nature (inaccurate fliers
from candidates running for City Council) at this time? Mr. Steele said Commission concerns
are defined as matters falling within the subject matter jurisdiction of this Commission.
Commission comments should be held to matters relating to land use decisions.
Commissioner Law said the safety chain is down again at the access road near Seal Beach
Boulevard and Lampson Avenue. Mr. Whittenberg said he will speak directly to the Bixby
Company.
Mr. Steele repeated his caution, that when Commission concerns are to be discussed at a
meeting, Commissioners should notify Planning Department staff in advance so those concerns
may be agendized.

Vice Chairman Soukup adjourned the meeting at 8:18 p.m.

DEAR PLANNING COMMISSION MEMBERS

MY WIFE SHARON AND I HAVE LIVED IN SEAL BEACH FOR
THE PAST THIRTY YEARS AND SELDOM FOUND IT NECESSARY TO

VARIANCE #94-2 AND CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT #94-2 AS REQUESTED
