!MR. AL HOLLENSTEIN, 4343 Highland Drive, stated i
!he owns the property directly east of the propert$
:where the variance is requested and that he felt ; :15,000 square'feet lots are large enough to build I :on without requesting variances, He stated he I
idid not feel there is a hardship involved and thi4 :proposed addition could be enclosed. He stated : jthat his house is approximately 20' from the I 0
:boundary 1 ine. I
:MR. FLOYD FEESE, 4280 Highland Drive, stated he i !objected to this as he heard the applicant plans :
;to build an additional playroom onto this house.
!MR. TOM NEEL, 4340 Highland Dr.,' stated he has :property across the street and could see no rea- ;
:son for.the variance. He stated he concurred I

!The Chairman asked if any one wished to speak in i :rebuttal.
:MR. ZAHLER, in rebuttal, stated that some one had :referred to the addition being used for another ; !use; however, he d'rew up the plans and the addi- i
:tion is attached to the house to be used for the ;
:use requested in application. I
!When questioned if it was possible to keep the I
:boat below the house or some othei place on the ; !property, Mr. Zahler stated it might be possible. :
!The public hearing was closed at 8:12 P. M.
]Points discussed were that due to the size of the :lot, this did not meet the requirements for grant?
iing a variance and there would be no true hardshit :involved. 8
!The following resolution was presented:
!After due consideration a motion was made to
:adopt Resolution No. 491 denying the variance I ::;::: i requested for the fol1 owing reasons :
:1. That there were no exceptional or extraordin- ; Iary reasons presented to justify granting the ;variance. *I I ,;!i;i ;I* :2. That the owner's requirements can be met in ; I:':!:
!other ways, without need of a variance. :3. That granting the variance would be detrimentaI1 !to the general welfare.

i (a) Zoning Study,- Committee report on R-T and, i !]p* :R-W Study Locations. Commissioner Sutherland e:::
!reported that they had no report to make at this i 4:::I :time.
! (c) Consideration of street name change from jLowder Lane to Camino Del Rey. 8 I
:Memorandum from the Engineering Department dated I :i+; :February 24, 1967, regarding the proposed street : I name change of Lowder Lane, pointing out that sub: ::;::: :ject street is classed by the General Plan as a i :Major Collector Street paralleling Interstate 5, ; :from Batiquitos Lagoon on the south to Cannon Roacf ;; ion the North. The Engineering Department could ; ::;pi:
:find no historical significance to the name of :
:the natural charm of the City of Carlsbad and joffered the name of Camino Del Rey only as a t ii I:* ;suggestion, and have no objection to any other : jname that would not conflict with any present * I :;*I;#
,F : street name. 4 ::I!::
:The Planning Director explained that final plans ;;;:;: . :are coming in for work on the road. The present i 1;;::: ;name is not official. . It was a small street and : ::::;! !.the City is making it a major street.
:The Commission did not object to the name Lowder,! ;::::: however, they suggested that it could be an extenf ;;4+ i sion of Pi0 Pic0 Drive South since it is on the : ; easterly side of Interstate 5 also. The Commissidn ::::I: : voiced objection to the name Camino Del Rey be- i 9:;;:;
i With the consent of the Commission, the Chairman i ;::::; :.referred this matter back to the Engineering I Department, requesting a list of possible names : be submitted and with the suggestion that Lowder i ! Lane could be called Pi0 Pic0 South. b I :;::::
; (c) Buena Vista Lagoon. Commissioner Palmateer i gave a progress report stating that the project i I i 11 8 ;.I ; is in the "waiting stage". He summarized events ; ::;:;: : leading up to the present status of the park; t : 1.1 ; I ; i stating that the project has been approved by the! : State Division of Beaches and Parks and the Parks; i::::: i Commission to go in the State budget, subject to : ; open space federal fund which may pay for land ; , I .: ::I: ;*I,D;
acquisition, if and when such funds are received :iI:;; : by the state. He added that such funds can be : I::;:; 81 i used for purposes other than parks, so the feder-i :i:::; ; a1 monies will be in great demand, and, probably : :;::I; i in short supply. The members of the lagoon I :;::;: : committee met with the General Services Agency of: :;::a:
i the State to discuss land acquisition costs. They: :;::i:
:1:;1; ; went over the costs of acquisition with land buyers :i:::: i Mr. Don Miller and Mr. Valdon, parcel by parcel, : :;:;:: ; in an effort to lower the state's purchase estimate. :;::::
; A couple of large parcels were included in their i :a::!; !!{:;: ! estimate that are being donated. 'Mr. Miller did : m1;i; : not feel this cost would materially affect this i ii:::: i project as it is better to estimate it high to ; ;i;;:;
