Appeal Application No. 47 of Continental Baking Company was presented on Variance Application No. 1551, to build an addition to existing warehouse, offices, etc., in the R-1 District, on property located at the southwest corner of First and Pacific Avenues, in the C-1 and R-1 Districts, wherein the Applicant appeals the condition of sidewalk requirements on Walnut Avenue. Edward J. Till, Architect, 145 West Painter, Whittier, representing the Applicant, presented photographs in duplicate showing three vie~$of the intersection of Pacific Avenue and subject property. On motion of Councilman Hubbard, seconded by Heinly and carried, the photographs were received and filed. Mr. Till stated their wall had been construc~ ed prior to the change in the grade of the street, and it would involve a great deal of expense to reconstruct the wall to place the sidewalk as required, and re- quested consideration to install the sidewalk to the curb line as an alternative. The Council having unanimously waived the reading of the Resolution, on motion of Councilman Heinly, seconded by Hubbard and carried, the following Resolution en- t it led: "Resolution No. 61-280 granting appeal on Appeal Application No. 47 filed by Continental Baking Company from one condition imposed pur- suant to a variance granted upon Variance Application No. 1551 by the Zoning Administrator" was considered and passed by the following vote: Ayes, Councilmen Royal E. Hubbard, Henry H. Schlueter, Dale H. Heinly, A. A. Hall Noes, Councilmen None Absent, Councilmen Bob Brewer Appeal Application No. 48 of James G. and Edna Andritch, was presented on Variance Application No. 1549, to build a duplex on an R-2 lot with existing single family dwelling at 1437 Cypress Avenue, in the R-2 District, wherein the Applicants appeal the denial of the Zoning Administrator. Mrs. Walter Fredriksen, 12912 Dean Street, representing the Applicant~, stated that although the maps show both sides of the Avenue 1400 block of Cypress/to be zoned R-2, there is a parking lot l'or Safeway directly across the street fro~ the Andritch property, and presented a photograph of the parking lot taken from the Andritch's driveway on the east side of Cypress Avenue. On motion of Councilman Hubbard, seconded by Heinly and carried, the photograph was received and filed. Mrs. Fredriksen further stated that other variances had been granted in the vicinity; that since the lots in this block are of unusual depth, 160 feet, and a re~oning to R-3 of the area is being contemplated, she felt the variance should be granted. Mrs. James Andritch, 1437 South Cypress Avenue, stated her proposed duplex would only have on~ bedroom to each unit and would sppeal to elderly couples, school teachers or married couples without children; a duplex would give her good use of the land as a residence and also as an income; would increase the property tax to the City; and would help to serve in the need for rent tal housing. On motion of Councilman Heinly, seconded by Hubbard and carried, the decision of the Zoning Administrator was upheld, and Appeal Application No. 48, filed by James G. and Edna Andritch, denied.
