BEWLEY that this was the time and APPEAL DENIED - STAEF INSTRUCTED place for the public hear- ing of Negative Declaration and Appeal #584 of Conditions 6A3 and 6A6 of the approval of Conditional Use Permit ??-26 requiring removal of concrete slabs, and installation of landscaping and underground utilities. Planning Director Charles Zimmerman stated that the Planning Commission approved Conditional Use Permit 77-26 to permit the conversion of four single-family residences and two duplexes to condominiums in the R2 District at 922-926 North Bewley Street; that the Commission conditioned the use with the requirement to underground the utilities and to remove the exist- ing concrete slabs between the northerly and southerly buildings to allow for private fenced patios between the units, and appropriate landscaping. David Bates, 4502 Goldenglow, Irvine, appellant-applicant, described the present situation and how he intends to utilize the existing concrete slabs for private patios for each unit. He stated that there are two utility poles, both quite tall, so that they are not in the field of vision; that they are not objectionable to present tenants and probably would not be to future tenants; that the area's utilities are all overhead; and that his two are well within the boundaries of the property. John State, 926 Bewley, a resident of one of the subject units, stated that the utility poles have not caused any problem for the residents. There bein~ no further speakers, Vice Mayor Ward closed the public hearing. On the motion of Councilman Bricken, seconded by Councilman Ortiz and carried 4:2, with Councilmen Garthe and Yamamoto dissenting, the Negative Declaration was approved and filed, and the City Attorney directed to prepare a resolution denying Appeal #384, approving Conditional Use Permit 77-26 and affirming the decision of the Planning Commission with all requirements except that Condition 6A3 be modified to provide that the Appellant and Planning Department will work out a suitable combination of patio slabs and landscaping that would permit the utilization of the existing concrete slab to the extent possible.
