Commissioner Hardwick was presmt at 7:45. Vice Chairman Hughes requested that the letter from the Planning Congress be taken up under Item 8, New Business. Oral Cmmunications: 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. The public hearing was closed at 8:55. Commissioner Jarvie asked closer to the lot line on 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.
