Applicant:
Location:
Request:
Barnett Nowling
1162 Sycamore Avenue
Authorization to construct eight (8)
residential condominium units.
After the presentation of the staff report by Mr. Brotemarkle, the
public hearing was opened at 3:13 p.m.
John Zier, 1152 Meat Lane, stated to the Agency that the project
under construction (1120 Sycamore Avenue, which is not a part of
this application) is horrendous for the isolated residential area
and the height of it is ridiculous. He further informed the Agency
that the underground parking is hardly underground. Mr. Zier
informed the Agency that he is representing other homeowners in
the area.
Leon Hoffman, 1191Mear Lane complained of the skyline (the height
of the projects) and stated that he felt no more condos should, be
built along Sycamore Avenue.
Ernest Young, 1162 Meat Lane stated that the traffic along
Sycamore is unbearable and more condo's will make it worse. Mr.
Young also pointed out that Carfax is not aligned over Sycamore
which causes many accidents.
Mr. Ledendecker, City Engineer informed the Agency that the City
is pursuing the extension of Newport Avenue through to Edinger
Avenue which would alleviate some of th~ traffic problems on
Sycamore. However, before the Public Utilities Commission will
consider the application, an Environmental I~act Report will have
to be prepared by the City.
Mr. Young questioned if stop signs could be installed to alleviate
some of the traffic on Sycamore and Carfax.
Mr. Ledendecker responded that they have conducted traffic surveys
and the volume of traffic does not warrant stop signs. However, a
study is being conducted to see if a crossing guard is warranted.
Mr. Richard Newling, 14081Yorba, applicant, spoke in favor of the
project and stated that he was available to answer any questions
the Agency might have.
Suzanne Zter, 1152 Meat Lane questioned if the underground parking
on this project would be.the same as the project that is under
construction at 1121 Sycamore.

structure with four feet of underground parking structure.
