line. Then Mr. Geil sold the rest of the property to the Cman Catholic Bishop
of San Diezo County. Before they could do anything with the property as far
as construction was concerned, they had to ask for a variance in order to create
a lot split.
VIt4CENT GITS, 2648 Davis Place, stated that in the absence of Father OtDwyi3r,
who is out of town, he was present ttJ answer any questions anyone night have

line. Then they found out that there never hzd been a lot split on the prop-
erty. Before they can build they want to straighten this out. No one in the
neighborhood is azainst the variance, He would be glad to show the building
plans for this property to show that none of the buildings will coxe anywhere

WELL .4URED, 3676 Harding, stcted that he wanted sor.!e information. He
wanted to know, should he decide to build on his property, would he be able to
get a building permit, if this variance were granted.
The Secretary explained that the granting of thisvariance could not affect
any use of Mr. Allred's property as long as he conformed to the ordinance.
MR. ALLRED stated that the property owner who lived next door to subject
property, whose name he did not know, had received no notice of the hearing
but he and this property Owner had discussed the matter and he had informed
the property owner of the hearing this evening. Ho felt that this owner might
object to the granting of the variance.
The Secretary explained that due to the fact that our Tax Assessor's Roll is
18 months old and that is the source from which the names of the surrounding
property Owners is taken, sometimes owners subsequent to the effective date
of the tax roll are not,.notified because their names and addresses are not
available to his office.
Since the applicant was not present and one of the property owners who would
be most likely to be affected by the granting of the variance had not been
notified, it was decided among the Corranissioners that it would be better to have
more facts before making a decision on this matter.
A motion was made by Commissioner Kistler and seconded by Commissioner Hardwick
that the hearing on this application be continued until the next regular meet-
ing of the I'lanning Commission on July 25, 1961. All ayes, one absent, motion
