N 1W BUSIITESS 1. rnection VI, 6.:20 D of Ordinance No. 69 - Private Roads. Being in receipt of the City Attorney's interpretation dated May 4, 1966 and Councilman Fowle's Committee Report dated May 16, 1966 on the above subject, Chairman Hibner set the date of June 13, 1966 for afull discussion by the Commission. VARIANCES: 1. Hsia? Dr. Henry (V-257-66) - Request for Reduction of. Setback Requirement at three locations on Lot #18, Tract x¢2093• Commissioner Prentice disqualified himself from the discussion and voting. r'.bove matter was continued from the May 91^ Planning Com7ission meeting. Chairman Hibner read. Minutes of May 9, 1966 concern- ing the Hsie. application and Minutes of July 26, 1965 regarding the application of Mary G. Steers, which was returned, without prejudice, for redesign. Mrs. Steers did not resubmit her application. The above applications concern the same property, namely, lot 418, Tract ;'2093, and upon reinspection by the Map Committee, it was noted the variances requested, each three in number, were so similar that it would be inconsistent for the Planning Commission to arr..rcve Dr. Hsie's application. There was discussion as to impingement of view and suggestions of cantilevering and placement of the proposed residence; however, the Commission agreed the crux of the matter was the excessive number of variances being requested. Chairman Hibner requested comments from the Floor. Attorney J. S. Lawry, representing Mrs. M. G. Steers, stated the May 9x" Minutes covered his position on this matter, except there was no objection to Mrs. steers application as reported therein, but that the owner who moved merely took a negative stand by not signing approval of the application. Mr. Herman Frankfurt, realtor renresenting Dr. Hsia, submitted a contour map of the original subdivision, explaining ho., the proposed placement of the house would not block Times. Tiiller and Steer's view. Tir. Frankfurt requested approval on two variances, subject to a new map being drawn and subject to the approval of the Architectural Committee. Dr. H. J. Beaver, 13333 La Cresta Drive, owner of subject lot and tract, commented on the applications. It was the opinion of the Commission that although this is a. difficult piece of property in regard to variances, there was no doubt that the proper house can, and will, be designed for this lot.

Steers, questioned the relation of the setback to I"rs. Steers property (lot 1119)• It -,,72s the opinion of the Commission that the terrain is such that it does not affect Mrs. Steer's property in any way and that the variance is only for the garage, which is one story.
