Salvage Company as set forth in its Resolution No._ 607:. ; It was then asked of the City Clerk whether notice of the time, place and purpose of this hearing had been duly giver, and published, and if she had on file in her office the affidavits showing such notice. The City Clerk advised that notice had been duly and regularly given and the affid 'ts establishing such fact were on file in her office together with the files and transcript of the proceedings before the Planning Commission, from - ,h this appeal is being taken; thereupon, the files and records of the Planning Commission received by the City Clerk were ordered made a part of these proceedings. It was stated that, inasmuch as this was an appeal from the Planning Commission's action, and all the records and transcript of that body had been made a part of the records of these proceedings on appeal, it would be of value for the purpose of avoiding needless repetition and prolonging the hearing that .the record not be duplicated with evidence tizeretofore received. It was stated :that those appearing were privileged, however, to conduct their appeal and oppose the appeal, as the case may be, in such manner as they saw fit. It was announced that the Council would first hear from those who ap- peared on behalf of the appellant J. and J. Salvage Company. Following the. presentation on behalf of the J. and J. Salvage Company, the audience was advised, the Council would hear from those who, appeared in opposition to the appeal. After those in opposition to the appeal had been.heard the appellant would be heard in rebuttal. The Mayor said that if the gent'----: . who were representing the appellants and the respondents were in accord with this outline of procedures, he would next suggest that they give estimates of time that would be consumed in the pre- sentation of their respective positions and that they try to adhere to that time limit, bearing in mind, however, that this was a solicitation of their cooperation and not to be construed as a restriction upon their right to fully represent their clients. The City Attorney suggested that anyone in the audience who wished to speak in the matter, be invited to state their name and address, whether they would speak for or against the appeal and how long they estimated their pre- sentation to be. At this time, Mr. Jerry Moore, 612 Indiana Court, Apt.' 3, stated that he wished to speak for approximately 5 ...mutes in support of the Planning Commission's decision. Mr. Moore was then asked to make his presentation first. Mr. Moore asked that the Council consider the community as a whole in this matter and, in the: -interest of progress, uphold the decision of the Planning Commission. X 1883 City Attorney Bush stated that in speaking with the two attorneys who were representing parties of interest at this meeting, it was suggested that he acquaint the Council with the findings of the Planning Commission by reading all or part of Resolution No. 607 of the Planning Commission which was the findings which that body adopted following their hearing and which is the subject of this appeal. He read as follows: "The Planning Commission now makes the following findings of facts and conclusions of the law. The Commission finds, 1) that pursuant to the allegations of purported violations contained in Specification 3 of Resolution No. 603, that complainants by preponderance of evidence, established that a violation in fact does exist in that certain structures have been erected on said premises which are not in conformity with the Building Code of the City of E1 Segundo, and that a building permit for said structures had not been obtained, pursuant to Code, prior to construction; 2) that J. and J. Salvage Company is in violation of Specification 4 of Resolution No. 603, in that materials and sundry salvage have been stored on the premises for a period of several months prior to the hearing as to exceed the height of eight feet prescribed by the Conditional Use Permit; 3) that J. and J. Salvage Company is in violation of Specification 6 of Resolution No. 603, in that the paved area required between the front property line and the front wall extending the width of the premises has not been used solely for off - street parking as so prescribed by the Conditional Use Permit, and has, on several occasions, been recently used for the storage of salvage materials. " The Notice of Appeal filed by Brinton N. Bowles, Attorney for J. and J. Salvage Company in part provides that the appeal is on all grounds provided by law and particularly upon the grounds of the insufficiency of the evidence to sustain the decision. Mr. Bush stated that the Attorneys would argue these issues and it would be in order to call upon Mr. Bowles to proceed first. Brinton N. Bowles, Attorney for J. and J. Salvage Company, then ad- dressed the Council on behalf of his client, the appellant; argued that the evidence presented was insufficient to sustain the decision of the Flanning Com- mission to revoke the Conditional Use Permit; that much extraneous evidence had been presented; that Mr. Stewart of J. and J. Salvage Company had felt no violation to the Building Code had been made when the sheds were built, particularly as he was told by a former Building Inspector that a permit was not necessary; that the violation of stacking cars above the allowed height was not a permanent thing, but only until cars could be removed; that the salvage yard is situated on a grade which allows full view from cars on Rosecrans Avenue; and that Mr. Stewart has had plans drawn up for a presentable building to be erected when the grade of Rosecrans is changed in the near future. Mr. Bowles further presented the argument that the salvage company is performing a service to the community that is necessary and that this community has not outgrown such a service any more than it has outgrown other manufacturing business in this area. Norman J. Oliver, Attorney, then addressed the Council on behalf of Unimerc Corporation, Space Technology Laboratories, Utah Construction and Mining Corporation and Marvin Davis, property owners adjacent to the salvage yard. He argued that the decision of the Planning Commission was amply sup- ported by evidence presented; that the record disclosed violations had been consistently long- standing even after July, 1955 when Mr. Stewart had been put on notice that the Council would tolerate no further violations. He further argued that in the best interest of the development of the surrounding area, the decision of the Planning Commission should be upheld. Following Mr. Oliver's conclusion of his presentation, Mr. Bowles, pursuant to agreement between the two attorneys appearing on behalf of clients, gave a brief rebuttal argument. No persons responded to the Mayor's inquiry whether there was additional evidence or arguments to be presented. Thereupon, the public hearing was closed. Councilman McElhaney stated that a possible conflict of interest could be construed from his being associated with a firm that is looking at land in the area involved in the hearing and for that reason disqualified himself from par- ticipating in the discussion and vote. -11- �FL !
