READING OF MINUTES OF PREVIOUS MEETING The minutes of the regular meeting held on the 25th day of March, 1953, having been read, and no errors or omissions having been noted, it was moved by Councilman Baker, seconded by Councilman Swanson, the minutes of said meeting be approved as recorded. Carried. SPECIAL ORDER OF BUSINESS At this time Mayor Selby announced that the Council would proceed with a public hearing duly and regularly called and ordered by the City Council of the City of E1 Segundo to be held at this time and place under the pro- visions of the Zoning Ordinance of the City of E1 Segundo. This public hear- ing was so called and ordered for the purpose of publicly hearing the appeal of Clarence M. Burce and Caroline K. Burce from the decision of the Planning Commission of the City of E1 Segundo, as made and set forth by said Com- mission in its Resolution No. 138, which was adopted on the 9th day of March, 1953, and affecting certain portions of Lot 2, Block 106, El Segundo Tract. The Mayor inquired of the City Clerk if notice of the time, place and purpose of this hearing had been duly given and published, and if she had on file in her office the affidavits showing such notice. The City Clerk ad- vised that notice had been duly and regularly given and the affidavits establishing such fact were on file in her office together with the complete file of the Planning Commission in said matter. Mayor Selby thereupon announced that the files in said matter would be made a part of the record of this public hearing. The Mayor then inquired if any written protests had been received and the City Clerk stated none had been received by her. The Mayor then stated the Council would proceed to hear evidence from those persons present who desired to speak in favor of the granting of the variance applied for, and then would afford those opposed to the granting of said variance an oppor- tunity to speak. Mr. Dudley Gray stated he was an attorney, representing Mr. Burce in the matter. He presented for the Council's consideration three photographs, which he stated he felt truly and accurately show the structures as they now exist on the property owned by Mr. Burce, and which he desired to file as exhibits. The Mayor stated that if there is no objection, same will be re- ceived as evidence and marked as flExhibits Nos. 1, 2 and 3 „, respectively. Mr. Gray: As you know, there has been a structure commenced building on rear property of Mr. Burce and I now present two pictures of structures now existing in partially constructed state. -1- V 354 The Mayor stated that if there is no objection, same will be re- ceived as evidence and marked "Fad ibits Nos. 4 and 5n, respectively. Mr. Gray: Mr. and Mrs. Burce have obtained signatures of various property owners adjacent to and within 300 feet of property involved. Have document in which appears some eighteen signatures, giving consent to variance requested. Mr. Gray thereupon presented said document to the Mayor, and the Mayor announced that if there is no objection, same will be received as evidence and marked "Exhibit No. 6n. The City Engineer then delivered to Mr. Gray a map, indicating the property owned by Mr. Burce, upon which is shown in various colors, the ground upon which is presently existing structures, the ground upon which structures are presently being erected and additional ground owned by Mr. Burce. Mr. Gray explained that a portion of the ground lying easterly of presently existing structures, a 20 -foot strip, will be used for ingress and egress to the properties, such ingress and egress being from Imperial Highway, and the present strip, from, Acacia Avenue, used at this time for ingress and egress, will be closed. Mr. Gray further stated that at the time of acquir- ing the property shown in "pink" on said map, Mr. Burce was under the impres- sion that becuase the property was used as a street, it would in effect be a street and considered the pink shaded area would be the front of the lot; that he is now informed that since it fronts on R -3 it would not be good zoning, and that plan has been entirely done away with, and he now finds the only way for ingress and egress would be through to Imperial Highway; that he plans to build apartments above the garages which are presently being erectedy and is seeking to have this Council give variance to allow them to build such a build- ing as have particularly described and to finish structure partially completed. Mr. Gray further stated that seemingly most objections to building a two -story building were because tenants might look down over property to the rear, and Mr. Burce has accordingly agreed to build cloister type windows in rear. Mr. Gray: The Planning Commission had allowed variance from which we ap- pealed to certain extent, but allowed only one story building, which would defeat purpose intended. There was another thing proposed to do, if met with approval and that is to the easterly line of Lot 2, you will notice by pictures that there is a heavy concrete wall built out there and in order to comply with ordinance for side setback, it was plan of Mr. Burce to remove portion of easterly -most apartment, so would be five -foot setback from easterly line, which understand would comply with ordinance. Would like to leave present wall as it now exists, but.not build actual structure out there. Plan to build fence anyway. Another unusual feature is that there will have to be an overhead sewer, due to the contour of the ground, which he wishes to keep as near appear- ing as possible and accordingly would run pipe along wall and if he can leave existing wall as is, overhead sewer would be concealed as much as possible. Mayor Selby inquired if overhead sewer would be anchored to wall, and Mr. Gray answered in affirmative, that it would be on Mr. Burcets side of fence. Mr. Gray•stated another thing to substantiate position is requiring 20 feet to rear of lot; that they figure this is for parking space and he pointed out he will have ample parking space., excepting it will be enclosed ' in form of garages. If appeal for variance is granted, it will be of advantage to City, vacant property will be built upon and more places will be provided for people to live. Mayor Selby inquired if it is intention to build opposite present build- ing on newly acquired property on east side, and Mr. Gray answered in affirma- tive, that it is proposed to build an additional apartment house there. -2- v Councilman Gordon inquired, how, in view of presently constructed building across rear on west side, do cars get in and out of that space. Mr. Burce stated he intends to take 20 feet off new lot to east for driveway. Councilman Gordon inquired how much that left to east, and Mr. Burce stated that would leave 67 feet, and a single unit building only would be built. Thereafter, the hereinabove referred to map was filed with the City Council and marked I'Exhibit 7n. Mayor Selby then inquired if any other person present desired to speak in favor of granting the proposed variance. No one responded. He then inquired if anyone present desired to speak in opposition to granting requested variance, and the following persons then addressed the Council: Mr. William Whistler, residing at 412 West Acacia Avenue, stated he was against having any two -story building at rear of R -1 lots; feels it will lower value of property in R -1 area on Acacia; that Mr. Burce had stated he would put certain type windows so tenants could not see down into yards, but nevertheless would have a two -story building at rear which will detract from value of lots; that Mr. Burce indicated unless apartments are built over garages, he would have too many garages; but if new apartment house is built to east, there would not be too many garages; that he understands structure presently being built was built without per- mit, which he does not believe to be legal. Mr. F. G. Schilling, residing at 419 West Walnut Avenue, stated that several of his neighbors had followed action through Planning Commission, and tried as best they could to check on legal as well as moral aspects of procedure and it seems like there has been a certain amount of railroading going on; that it seems as if a very favorable compromise and solution had been given by Planning Commission in allowing Mr. Burce to use rear 20 feet in accordance with Planning Commission ruling; that they are quite in ac- cord with such ruling; that the Planning Commission ruling is very explicit in what would be allowed, and if not followed would keep that particular area from developing into a fine R -1 zone. Mr. Eugene Gaudio, residing at 416 West Acacia Avenue, stated he can appreciate point in trying to expedite this matter; he feels if the Council before acting on it, would make a view of the property as it exists, from his side of-the street and from lots adjacent to it, that it might affect any ruling the Council would make at this time; that a personal view will give more to their side than photographs. Mrs. W. W. Winans stated she owns a lot on Acacia, has had it for sale for several years. Feels building a two -story building would detract from value of lot. No one else indicating a desire to speak in opposition to requested variance, the Mayor stated he would now give those in favor of such variance an opportunity to present rebuttal testimony. Mr. Gray again addressed the Council and stated he might concede some of thoughts of those objecting to this appeal, but pointed out that the situation which is apparently being protested, is already in existence; that you find the same condition elsewhere, where one zone abuts another; that in this instance the R -3 zone fronts on Imperial and goes half way through, that if the R -3 zone is put through, it will probably mean more structures than presently exist and more places for people to live; that -3- 355 V 356 the first and last gentlemen who spoke live on next street south and do face the rear of property, but that Mr. Schilling lives on Walnut Avenue, actually 1J blocks away and cannot see why premises would be detrimental to his property; that they are not attempting to railroad anything, but to do everything legal; that everything has been done according to building specifications; that there is no state violation. He again urged the Council to allow this variance for bene- fit of people as a whole; pointed out that marry people who approve of it live immediately.adjacent to property. The Mayor inquired if anyone else desired to give rebuttal testi- mony in favor of the variance. No one responded. He then inquired if anyone desired to again speak in opposition to granting such variance. Mr. Gaudio stated he believes the new structure partially completed is now on R -1 zone; that they were told by Planning Commission that idea for new zoning was because that was R -1; that being the case that build- ing now sits on R -1, and they feel justified in trying to keep it that way. It was R -1 when Mr. Burce bought it; that Mr. Burce started the structure and Mr. Gaudio feels Mr. Burce should not have been permitted to start the structure. Mr. Schilling stated that he felt neighbors should be allowed some consideration; although he wanted Mr. Burce to make all money possible; that he had talked to Mr. Smotony, the Building Inspector, and learned that building permit had been applied for and denied. Mrs. Winans stated she believed a matter of principle is involved; if one person started building without a permit, anyone might do the same; anyone could start to build anything in any zone and be allowed to go through. Mr. Gray asked permission to again speak, which was given by the Mayor, and he thereupon stated that the matter had been brought up about Mr. Burce starting to build without permit; that Mr. Burce had been as- sured by City officials that variance could be obtained, that he had relied upon representations made to him and spent a great deal of money; that he had acted in good faith and has followed all channels. Mayor Selby inquired if he meant Mr. Burce was told by the Building Inspector that he might go ahead and build without building permit. Mr. Gray stated that was his understanding, that Mr. Burce had been assured, because of circumstances surrounding property, variance could be obtained. Mr. Clarence M. Burce then addressed the Council and stated he had gone to the Planning Commission before he ever started building; that it is not shown in minutes, but he asked in that meeting if he should go ahead with his loan or cancel it. He was told to go ahead; that property would be rezoned so he could build two -story building. Councilman Swanson inquired of Mr. Burce if in his request for variance, he had asked for variance from R -1 to R -3. x. Mr. Burce answered yes, that he -had the paper all made out, with $25.00 to pay for it, and was told would rezone without variance. Mr. Whistler requested permission to ask a question of Mr. Burce, which request was granted. Mr. Whistler then inquired of Mr. Burce if he was denied a building permit by the Building Inspector. -4- V 357 Mr. Burce stated yes, but head of Planning Commission had stated he would take care of the matter by filing a release with the Building Inspector within two-or three days; that this was not done, and after several attempts he had contacted the head of the Planning Commission, who then stated he +twas not going to stick his neck out", and would not file the release. Mayor Selby inquired of Mr. Burce to whom he referred when he stated t +head of Planning Commissionf', and Mr. Burce stated he referred to - Mr. Allen. Councilman Peterson inquired of Mr. Burce if, in his discussions regarding building permit and on assumption he was going to get one, did he take into consideration what side and rear yard requirements were if apartments were built over garages. Mr. Burce stated yes, he did take it into consideration, the only violation known of is rear yard because he did not know the long way of the lot would be the front. Councilman Peterson inquired if at any time he had shown any City official or employee a map or plot plan. Mr. Burce stated yes, such a map and plan of the buildings are on file in the City Hall. Councilman Peterson inquired if such plot plan showed 5 -foot clear- ance between garages and rear of lot. Mr. Burce stated yes, blueprints are on file as well as the plot - plan. Councilman Peterson then stated the picture changes when garages with living quarters above, instead of just garages, are constructed, and dif- ferent yard requirements apply. No other persons desiring to be heard in the matter, the Mayor stated, if there were no objections, he would declare the hearing closed. - Thereafter, it was moved by Councilman Peterson, seconded by Council- man Gordon, that the matter of the appeal of Clarence M. Burce and Caroline K. Burce from the decision of the Planning Commission as set forth in its Resolution No. 138, be taken under consideration by this Council until its next regular meeting to be held April 8th, 1953• Carried by the following vote: Ayes: Councilmen Baker, Gordon, Peterson, Swanson and Mayor Selby; Noes: Councilmen None; Absent: Councilmen None.

After discussion by the Council, by general consent, the matter was referred back to Public Safety Commissioner Swanson and the Chief of Police for administrative handling.
