Subject case was initiated by Jean Travaine, 141 College Park Drive, Seal Beach. Legal description of property is Lot 176, Tract 5847. 2. Subject request is for a Variance to allow construction of a six foot high block wall along the side property line of subject property adjacent to the sidewalk of Stanford Lane. This wall to extend to the front line of the house. WHEREAS, the Planning Commission findings are as follows: 1. No oral or written protests were received. 2. By Resolution No. 70 the Planning Commission has interpreted provisions of the zoning ordinance to indicate that wall construction in locations as requested is not generally allowable under the code. 3. Prior to this interpretation of the Code by the Planning Commission, the majority of similar cases of corner lots in the College Park West area had been already constructed with such sideyard walls adjacent to the sidewalk. However, a number of these walls were built with a corner cut-off adjacent to the next interior lot to protect the interior lot owner. 4. The opposite corner property on Stanford Lane presently has a similar wall with a corner cut-off at the interior lot line. 5. The neighbor on the interior lot adjoining subject property, Mr. Earl Christensen, spoke to the Commission and did not oppose this Variance request. He did request that a corner cut-off be established at his property. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Planning Commission of the City of Seal Beach does hereby approve Variance No. V-11-67 subject to the condition that a corner cut-off be established at the rear corner adjacent to the next interior lot on Stanford Lane and that this corner cut-off be similar in size to the cut- off directly across the street on Stanford Lane.
