Location:
Request:
William Hockenberry on behalf of Dopp and Curl Development Corp.
Northeasterly corner of 2nd and "C" Streets {185-195 "C" Street)
Authorization to develop an office building in the C-2 Central
Commercial Zone.
Presentation:
Donald D. Lamm, Director of Community Development
Chair Wetl opened the public hearing at 8:27 p.m. The following people spoke:
William Hockenberry, Architect, made himself available to answer questions.
Craig Curl, Dopp & Curl, addressed Exhibit "A" number 8 requiring a new water main on
"C" Street or 2nd Street and requested clarification.
Don Lamm explained that this condition was generated by the Engineering Department
which recommended, "... the developer will need to contact the O.C. Fire Marshall
for fire protection requirements. This may require the developer to construct a new
water main in either "C" Street or 2nd Street." Engineering may believe there is
going to be a problem providing adequate fire flows to serve this building. Who is
responsible for the cost depends on what is necessary. If Mr. Curl's building is the
only person causing this need and nobody else would benefit, he would be the person
financially responsible. If the water main would benefit surrounding property owners
or if other owners were allowed to connect into it, a reimbursement agreement could
then be established or someone else could participate financially.
Seeing no one further wishing to speak, Chair Well closed the hearing at 8:34 p.m.
Commissioner McCarthy moved, Puckett seconded to approve Use Permit 86-7 by the
adoption of Resolution 2306. Motion carried 4-0.
