M. at this meeting having heretofore been fixed as the time and place for a hearing before the City Council on the appeal of Vahram and Yevnige Ouzounian from the decision of the Planning Commission of the City of E1 Segundo, on application for zone variance, the Mayor announced that said time had arrived and that the Council would now proceed with the hear- ing. The City Attorney inquired of the City Clerk whether or not all notices had been given as required by law and the Clerk answered that they had. The City Attorney then inquired whether or not the Planning Commission Files and the City Clerkts files on the subject, now in-possession of the City Clerk, would be received by the Council as evidence in the matter and the Mayor responded in the affirmative. The Mayor then asked all persons who anticipated testifying in the hearing now pending before the Council to arise and be sworn. Vahram Ouzounian, H, Ouzounian and Julius R. Campbell were thereupon sworn by the City Clerk. The Mayor then announced that those persons desiring to testify in favor of the granting of the variance applied for by Vahram Ouzounian, et al, will first be heard, and those opposed thereafter. Thereupon, Mr. H. Ouzounian arose and stated that he is interested with his father Vahram Ouzounian, in the construction of the building, the subject of this hearing on appeal; that he is somewhat confused by the - proceedings and did not realize that the application for variance applied for would entail so much work; that he felt the variance applied for would be beneficial to the property and that the work he and his father propose to do on the premises des- cribed in the application would comply with the Zoning Ordinance, according to his interpretation thereof. Mr. Julius R. Campbell, thereupon arose and testified that he objects to the granting of the variance, only if a part of his property is taken in connection therewith. Mr. Vahram Ouzounian then testified that it is not the intention of appellant, who is also applicant for the variance now under consideration by the Council to take or use any portion of Mr. Campbell's property and that 1. if the-variance is granted and his building is constructed, there will be: eleven feet between the side wall of his building and that of Mr. Campbell's residence, with only one window in the Ouzounian building opening toward the Campbell property. Mr. John Catalano then arose and indicated his desire to testify in the matter and was duly sworn by the Clerk. Thereupon, he testified that he is not necessarily in-favor of or opposed to the granting of'the variance applied for, denied by the Planning Commission and now before the City Council on appeal, but would like to point out a fact not heretofore touched upon, to -wit: That if the building proposed to be erected by Mr. Ouzounian is erected as presently planned, there will be ten feet between the side walls of the Ouzounian Building aAd the building presently situated on the side thereof, while there will be eleven feet between the side walls of the proposed Ouzounian building on the side affected by the variance appli- cation and the Campbell building.

The Mayor then asked Mr. Campbell if he had any objection -to the Councilts reopening the hearing in'the matter of the application of Vahram ouzouni an, et al, on an appeal from the decision of the Planning Commission on their application for a zone variance. Mr. Campbell replied that he had no objection thereto, nor to the Council disposing of the matter at this meeting. It was thereupon moved by Councilman Skelley, seconded by Councilman Baker (each of whom voted in the affirmative in the action taken earlier at this meeting to close the hearing in the matter of the appeal of Vahram Ouzounian, et al, from a decision of the Planning Commission, on his application for a zone variance and to take the matter under advisement until the next regular meeting of this Council) that the hearing in the matter of the appeal of Vahram Ouzounian,, et al, from a decision of the Planning Commission on their application for a zone variance be reopened and the matter of the disposition of said appeal be reconsidered at this time.

Mr. Catalano thereupon recited the reasons for requesting further consider- ation at this time on the Ouzounian appeal from a decision of the Planning Com- mission on an application for zone variance, stating among other things that F. H. A. has made a loan committment to Mr. Ouzounian which will expire Thursday, March 4, 1948, unless construction work on Mr. Ouzounian's building has actually started on or before said date; that unless the appeal is finally dis posed of at this meeting, the construction work can not proceed as contemplated; that this will necessitate another sixty to ninety days delay, to have the Ouzounian application for a loan reprocessed by F. H. A., and in addition to the loss of time, will be otherwise expensive to Mr. Ouzounian. Mr. Julius R. Campbell who was present in the Council Chamber at this time and who had testified at the hearing on the same matter had earlier at this meeting, when questioned by the Mayor stated that he has no objection to the granting of the variance applied for by Mr. Ouzounian. .. ,6.
