PUBLIC HEARING The Mayor opened the public MINOR EXCEPTION 73-13 hearing on Minor Exception ARLOTTO & MAXWELL 73-13 filed by Florence J. Arlotto and Winslow Maxwell, to allow an expansion of a beer bar within 300' of the R 1 District at 2543 West McFadden Avenue. The Senior Planner stated that he had nothing to add to the Zoning Administrator's report dated June 13, 1973. The Clerk reported there were no written communications. Robert Holderieth, 2311 Eldon Avenue, Costa Mesa, spoke on behalf of Florence J. Arlotto and Winslow Maxwell, the owners of the property on which the beer bar was located, and Mr. and Mrs. Connors, who owned the beer bar. He stated that they had been working for about six months on the proposed project; that the owners of the beer bar wished to add a restaurant that would serve dinners and other meals; that the area was a difficult one; and that it was his opinion that the restaurant would upgrade the establishment and the area. There were no other proponents and no opponents, and the Mayor closed the public hearing.
