PUBLIC HEARINGS: Use Permit 82-8 Applicant: Location: Request: Michael Ferguson 445 W. Second Street Authorize construction of a garage with a guest room behind existing single-family home. Mr. Brotemarkle presented the staff report and informed the Agency he had received a letter from Nellie Bruner, 425 W. Second Street, Tustin. She expressed opposition to approval of the Use Permit and requested a continuation of the public hearing to a later date and an evening meeting when she, and other concerned, residents could attend. The Public Hearing was opened at 3:04 p.m. Michael Ferguson, applicant, said he felt the hearing should not be .continued since the required public notice had been given. Mr. Ferguson stated disagreement with Condition II C of Resolution 2030 prohibiting kitchen facilities such as refrigerator, sink, stove, etc. While working on the renovation of the main structure, he wished to be able to have a sink and a small refrigerator to keep food. Mr~ Saltarelli questioned Mr. Ferguson's use of the room after he had moved back into the renovated home. Mr. Ferguson stated he intended to use it as a guest room. The Public Hearing was closed at 3:08 p.m. Mrs. Kennedy asked Staff if sufficient methods of enforcement were available to prohibit such structures being leased or rented. Mr. Brotemarkle replied that except in the case of an obvious violation, Staff had to rely on complaints from neighbors. It was difficult to enforce, even with a deed restriction. Mrs. Kennedy made the motion to continue the public hearing until June 7, 1982 at 7:30 p.m. to hear additional public comments. Mr. Hoesterey seconded the motion.

Variance 82-6 Applicant: Location: Request: The Wellington Group 14351Redhill Avenue Authorization to permit an office building on an R-3 property and to vary with certain requirements of the Zoning Ordinance No. 157 (as amended) Mr. Brotemarkle presented the Staff report with the additional comment that Resolution 2032 failed to address the issue of a stairway within the 10 foot dedication. In the event Redhill Avenue is widened, the stairway would have to be moved and should be the responsibility of the property owner. The Public Hearing was opened at 3:26 p.m. Mr. Dean Pollinger, a partner in the project, stated he felt there were not as many problems with the project as Staff had presented and if a dedication was required, it could cause problems with the lender. The Public Hearing was closed at 3:29 p.m. Mr. Saltarelli moved approval of Resolution 2032 with the deletion of Condition II C requiring the 10 foot dedication. Chairman Edgar seconded the motion. Mrs. Kennedy expressed opposition to the motion. She felt that since this was a vacant parcel of land that a dedication should be required. A dedication had been previously waived for an already existing structure but as a building had yet to be constructed on the site, the offer of dedication should not be waived. Mr., Saltarelli stated it would constitute an extra burden to require the dedication on this project when it had not been required before. Mrs. Kennedy made a substitute motion to approve the Resolution as written but the Agency determined that, according to the rule of Parlimentary procedure, the motion was out of order.
