<br />
<br />Appeal Application No. 2 of J. W. Lenney was presented on Variance Application No.
<br />1316, filed by Porter Edmunds, wherein Planning C~ission granted a Variance to
<br />the Church of the Messiah~ to construct, maintain and use R-1 zoned property for
<br />
<br />the purpose of a Church, ASm~uistration Building, Chapel, hall, school, sacristy
<br />
<br />and youth activity center. Applicant's Appeal states immediately west of the prop-i
<br />erty is a new tract of homes that w-ill suffer immeasurably if Planning Co~nission's
<br />
<br />decision is upheld and requests reversal of same. The Clerk read a communication
<br />
<br />fr~n Attorney Fred Forgy, Jr., 416 First Western Bank Building, representing Mr.
<br />
<br />and Mrs. P. C. Edmunds, owmer of approximately five acres located at 1828 Fruit
<br />
<br />Street, advising Mr. and Mrs. Edmunds have resided on the property since shortly
<br />
<br />after the turn of the century, and stating the presence of a Church upon their prop~
<br />erty would not Jeopardize contiguous real property values; further, they intend to
<br />reside in their present house which will be bound on two sides by the Church prop-
<br />erty. ~n motion of CounciLman Hubbard, seconded by Brewer and carried, the com-
<br />munication was received and filed. Attorney William Denner, 1867 Park Avenue,
<br />Costa Mesa, representing the Appelant, stated the new tract of h~es is immediately
<br />across Sherry Lane from the proposed Church site, and would decrease the property
<br />value if the Church site is constructed; also the inadequate parking facilities of
<br />
<br />the Church site would necessitate street parking, and objected to the increased
<br />
<br />traffic and noise. F~ther, m~ client consulted with Voorhies, Trindle & Nelson,
<br />
<br />Engineers, who investigated the drainage problem on the proposed Church site, and
<br />
<br />read their letter wherein'it was stated the drainage would not be proper and the
<br />box culvert cannot be expanded to handle the extra runoff, Attorney Denner requested
<br />
<br />an opinion from the Director of Public Works in regard to the impracticability of
<br />
<br />the Church site on this property due to the drainage problem. The Director of
<br />
<br />representing the Church of the Messiah, stated a great deal of time was spent in
<br />
<br />search of adequate property and the present site is sufficient for their 500 member~
<br />
<br />There will be twenty rooms for a Sunday School, Administration Building, etc. but n~
<br />parochial ~chool. Also, the services are held on Sundays and the evening traffic
<br />
<br />would be light. There is a ten-foot easement, and a large drainage system could
<br />be installed; further, Mabury Homes, in the immediate vicinity~ have offered no
<br />
<br />objection to the construction of the Church. On motion of Councilman Brewer, secon.
<br />
<br />ded by Hubbard and carried, the decision of the Planning C~mnission was upheld, and
