projection of the dedicated alley between Yourell Ave., and Forest Ave. , along the westerly side of the Johnson
property. Mr. Johnson and Lebarr Estates (Butters
property) were not interested in opening a substandard street or cul-de-sac at the present time. He did not feel Mrs. Hisr should be restricted, but if this lot split is granted that it should be surveyed and monumented.

maps for each Commissioner from the Engineer's study. The Hier home is located on the rear of this property and
will be served by this "panhandle".

, will be reduced to an area of less than 7500 sq.ft., when
10' of the property is given for street dedication; and dicussed moving the property line back.

I I I The Commission discussed the fact that they had started I ; construction of buildings and then had stopped. I I
: MR. FOX stated there was a misinterpretation when he i i brought the instructors to the City Hall as they were unde$ : the impression that they could start building immediately: They were asked to stop this development until the Condia, : tional Use Permit was granted. The instructors had : brought up a trailer and were told that trailers would not : i meet the City Code. The City made them move all of the I ; water gear out and move the other buildings to within the i I R-T zone. This development will be similar to Camp ; Pacific of the Army and Navy Academy, except it will be a year round school. None of the buildings are on San ; ; Diego Gas and Electric property. The instructors were i i with him l2st summer for six weeks and were nice to do : : business with.

There was a discussion about the temporary buildings.
I ! The City Attorney reported that they will have to have i i building permits and meet the City Codes before building : and will have to conform to all legal aspects. I
! When questioned by Chairman Palmer, MISS CHARLOTTIS CAREY, 21 53 Newcastle * Cardiff by the Sea, stated that .L : she does not know how many children will be enrolled in t5e I school, At present they could accommodate approximatelr : 40 students for water skiing boating, swimming and they ; will be there during the day light hours, They will a180 ; ; have exploratory swimming and the students have an optio6 to come in for boating or swimming or both. She stated ; : that she had met with the various departments of the City i i and would like to bring in buildings on wheels as they havd i been used in tos Angeles and Nevada. She felt these woul4 : be better than what they are putting in. There must be : { storage facilities to store their gear of life jackets, cano& ; etc. They plan to bring sand into the area and they had i I planned to bring in a roller to make an access to this I ; development but that it was not necessary. She did not : feel the children would be below the bulkhead as they wer4 ; concdtned with a swimming area away from the bulkhead. i i She reported that Mr. Fox arranged to have electricity, ; I water and power, and was issued a permit for electricity I ; by the City. I i The G5ty Attorney stated that the City had issued a permit! ; for a temporary power pole.

The Chairman asked about the sewage and disposal.
The Planning Technician explained the location of the i property and the proposed buiidings and lifeguard tower* 1 He stated that this will be a division of the Institute in : Cardiff where they are giving instruction. They are rent; ing two Runt-a-CaaB anti the Health Department bas give+ them permission to use these. He reported that it wS1l be in a 150' by 104' area leased from the City to Mr. Fox. i FLoatr arc anchored in the Fox alp- and they wit1 rope : this off 60 boats will not be running through there. This
is R-1 property which requires the amce6sity of getting : a Caaditbnal Use Permit. He explained that the Sports-! man Club owns &ad east of Hoover.
DR. CAREY stated that the Coastal Club is for family I membership and is not just tor youths. There is a chargk but it is not a profit making organization and they just : expect to make expenses. s
Commissioner Jarvie stated that he had several phone ;
calls from property owners who did not think this develob- ment looked very good. He stated that the property acrogs from this is aoned R - 1-1 5.000 and that now they will havp
a commercial area across from these nice homes. 6
After considerable discussion, a motion was made to grant a ConditionaL Use Permit for the applied property i to allow Coastal Aquatic School, Division of Self -Develop?
rnent Institution for youth instruction by a professionally I
supervised program of canoeing I rowing, sailing and :
swimming, subject to the conditions that the constructio4
of any structures shall adhere to all of the requirements ; of the Building Code of the City, that all requirements ofi
the Health Department be met, and that said buildings be : constructed so that they will not be detrimental to surrou#d- ing properties, for the foLlowing reasons: I I

I The Planning Technician explained that the Committee i was appointed by Chairman Palmer to study this corn- ; posed of Commissioner Davis as Chairman and Cornmis-I sioner Grant, the City Attorney and the Planning Tech- ; nician. Chairman Palmer sat in as an observer. R-3L : Light multiple frmily zone is for dwellings and does not
have some of the permitted uses in the other zones. The+ should conform to residential zones in height and front I yard setbacks. They should change the side yard aetbaci?,
and the required area to 7500 sq. ft. minimum. t I
t I
There was discussion regarding the R-3 zone and that property that already has R -3 should stand as it is. The R-3L would be a more restrictive zone and is already in practice in other cities. They would be only restricting the minimum area and not the maximum.
The City Attorney stated that the minimum lot area per dwelling unit in the R-3L Zone shall be not less than 850 I sq. ft. I I I I The Planning Technician stated that he believed it would be wise to initiate action on this as they would not have a i
hearing until August 1 3. I I
The City A tt'orney pointed out that any change or addition!
will be an amendment to the ordinance, and advised putti*
this on the Council Agenda to get their approval. This is: a matter for their consideration as it is something tkt will have to be handled by them on the final analysis of !
I
this. I I
The Planning Technician recommended that the dash I I
between 3 and L be eliminated in order that the sq. ft. I
could be added to this (example R-3L-1OI000.)
By common consent it was agreed that this be put on the Council Agenda and that the dash between 3 and L be !
