There were no urritbn protests, JOE COCKRTLL, Buena Vista Gardens stated that he had been ap;:ointed spokesman for most of the propertiy owners in I3uena Vista Gardens; that they protest thfs request for a lot split as a protection to the value of their property; that the subdivision was laid out for 19 lots, in additian to which there were 3 lots at the entranceway which made a total of 22 lots; that this plot plan had been a matter of record for 8 to 10 years, and them has been no division of any of the lots during thab time; those who had purchased property and homes in tb area wanted it to remain as is; there are now 16 homes and 6 vacant lots, and 2 of tb lots are owned by individuals who do n0.t want any changeso He further stated that the lots in question are at the entranceway to the Gardens and it was felt that splitting them would not give them enough fkontage, hi& would affect the other property, as nos t of the lots Pave over 1001 frontage and the rest do not have less than 7S8, including the 3 at the entranceway, The Chairman stated that the map shows the 3 lots at the entranceway have 74' frontagea :tR. COCKRILL stated that the lots would have an area of 10,000 square feet, but that they go to tke edCs of the lagoon, so the uaable area ' which ls visable would be much less than 10,000 square feeto WESLEY GREEK, Buena Vista Gardens stated that he agreed with IIr, 2ockrill and added tkat these are lcog lots of the project and if they becane substan9ard it was possible that substandard houses would be built thereon* MR.

GEORGE PARKER 701 Buena Vista Gardens stated they opposed the division of the lots as there would be inadequate space for building and, ewen though the lots muld be 10,000 square feet, much of the lanl was by the lagoon. M. RAY N, IULLSEY, 333 Locust St., Laguna Beach stated that Lot No, 2 has a 3 bedroom, 3 bath honse on it, which house would about fit on the new 60 foot lots whioh would be created by taking 20 feet off of Lot No, 2; that the reason fa? the request is the fact that so many people who have come into the Gardens do not want that much property to take care of and some of the present residents have stated they have too much yard to care for on 100' lots; there is plenty of room on the proposed lots for cf;15,000 to :;20,000 houses; that when the engineer surveyed to see if tb lots would have 10,000 square feet, he did not know about the 75' frontace; that his rentors have let most of the lot becorm a weed patch as it is morc than tho average person can care for; that he thoi:ght it aould be an asset to the area to have tva houses on the property rather than a vacant meed patch such as it has been for the others to go by to @et to bheb om property. ,Lk.

Halaey for reduction of lot width from 75' to 60' for the purpose of creat- ing a lot s plit, for tb following reasons: 1, Granting of the varfance would be discrirrinatory to the surrounding property owners e 2, Since that particular 81.88 is laid out in large lots, this would be contrary to the development of Buena Vista Gardenso 3, Granting such a variance would be naterially detrimental and injurious to the property and i?nprovements in tho Buena.*Vista Gardens and not in kooping with the coqmhensive planninG of tho section. Corn, Ebriat stated that he muld abstain fro3 the discussion and voting on this variance as he owns property adjacent to the section, Corm. Stringor stated that he has Sone over the grounds and felt that a (,.15,000 house would just &out cover the area of a 60' lot with what there would be before it drops down mer the hill; that the otlier lots in the area are large,. and, theso.&ots. should renain as they are. ..
