July 21, 1961, st:,ting that the next meeting of the San Diego Planning Congress
would be held in the Bay Room of the Bahia 'rIotel on August 28, 1?61. The topic

Vice Chairman Hughes requested that the letter from the Planning Congress be
taken up under Item 8, New Business.

There were no oral communications.
The Secretary read the application again as Vice Chairman Hughes had not been present at the previous meeting of the Planning Commission. He then stated that
no communications had been received by his office on this matter other than the
one thrt had been put before the Commission at the last meeting.
Mr'JiVIN HWHWEYS, 3690 Monroe, stAted that the subject lot was in an R-2 zone
and due to the lack of depth, it would be hard to get enough square footage
in the house to make it economic-.lly sound. He showBd the Commission on a plat
where the building would be placed.
FRED KLATTE, 3696 Harding, stated that he did not Imow what had been said in
opposition to t!.is vzriance at the previous neetine but that his question was
whether there were any minimum require ents as to wh2t cm be put in there in
the way of a building. Could it be an old building made of wood?
r\ichard Osburn, BuiIdi.7g Inspector, told Mr. Klatte that the r@qUirWentS were
that it conform to the building code, the timbers have to be sound and thet
the wiring and plumbing have to conform to the building code.

MR. HUMPHREYS stated that
so his building wocld not
cause of the carport that
Mr, Humphreys if they could not put the building
the Freeway side of the lot.
the wast lbt line joined Mr. Klatte's rear lot line
be too close to Mr. Klatte's living quarters, Be-
Someone in the future might want to enclose, it would
not be practicll to put the building all the way to the Freeway side.
Commissioner Davis poiLrted out that since this is an irregularly shaped lot,
the bxk part of the lot would allow larger side yards. There was considerable
discussion among the Conmissioners as to the placement of the building and what
would be most practical and allow most square footage and at the sme time most
side yard.
MR. HUPiiW!EYS stated that since this lot is to the rear yard of Mr, Klatte
and there will be 10 feet between his patio fence and the side of the building,
he had placed the buildins this way. The normal se6back on side yards in this
area is 6 feet so this would not really be out of line with the rest of the
properties. When asked if he could put the building more to the east side he stated that he thought Mr. Klatte was objecting more to what the building
might look like than the fact of its being too close to his rear lot line.
M3. KL,TTE stated that he had no objection to the variance.
A motion was made by Commissioner Jarvie and seconded by Comnissioner Kistler
that Resolution No. 215 be adopted granting this variance for the following
reasons:
1. That there are exceptional or extraordinary circumstances or oonditions
applicable to the property or to the intended use that do not apply generally
to the other property or clasa of use in the same vicinity and zone.
2. That the granting of such variance will not be materially detrimental
to the public welfare or injurious to the property or improvements in such
