the Planning Commission to
refer Variance 70-12 back to the Commission prior to Council's consideration
of Appeal 233, filed by the City's Department of Public Works; and that the
request had been made to enable the Planning Commission to consider
evidence by the Department of Public Works not available to the Commission
during its hearing on the Variance Application.
It was moved by Councilman Villa, seconded by Councilman Evans, to refer
the matter back to the Planning Commission.
In response to Councilman Evan's question, the City Attorney stated that
the Municipal Code made no express provision for referral to the Planning
Commission; that this had been done in the past; and that it would be proper
if in so doing the Commission would be considering new evidence which could
assist the Council in making its determination.
Fred Forgy, Jr., attorney for the applicant for the Variance, A.H. Allen,
objected to the referral back to the Planning Commission and questioned the
legality of the staff's right to appeal the Planning Commission decision.
Riley Marquis, of Marquis and Associates, also representing A.H. Allen,
similarly objected.
CITY COUNCIL -124- May 4, 1970
The Public Works Director stated that the evidence had been presented at
the Planning Commission meeting by the Planning staff.
The City Attorney stated that his opinion that a referral would be legally
proper was based on his understanding that "new" evidence would be
presented to the Commission.
The motion to refer the matter back to the Planning Commission failed
adoption on the following roll call vote:
AYES:
NOES:
ABSENT:
Villa, Yamamoto, Griset

Hearing was opened on Appeal No. 233, filed by the Department of Public
Works, appealing the Planning Commission's action in rejecting certain
conditions recommended by the staff, in Planning Commission's approval
of VA 70-12, filed by A. H. Allen, to construct a mobile home park in the
R 1 District with approximately 204 spaces at 625 South Grand Avenue.
Public Works Director Ronald Wolford spoke in favor of the appeal,
displaying a map of the area, and explained that the recommended conditions
which were rejected by the Planning Commission were those relating to
the dedication and improvement of Warren Street all the way through to
Grand Avenue, and the recommendation that a parcel map be filed on the
property being developed. He stated that the applicant has since stated
a parcel map would be filed so the main concern of the staff was that a
cul-de-sac of Warren Street would be created in excess of 900 feet in length
and that the City's Subdivision Ordinance provides that cul-de-sacs shall
not ~xceed 500 feet in length. Mr. Wolford further explained that long cul-
de-sacs are detrimental to water distribution system circulation and adequate
fire protection, and that the staff was very concerned with the amount of
traffic that will be generated during the peak hour in the area.
The following persons spoke in opposition to the appeal:
Fred Forgy, Jr., attorney for the applicant, who stated that
Grand Avenue was an extremely busy street and a higher burden
of traffic should not be placed on it by putting Warren Street through,
and that it would cut the mobile home park property in half;
Riley Marquis, who stated they would be happy to file a parcel map;
that they could take care of the drainage problem; that the street
would separate the parcel into two parcels; that it would be a great
expense to develop the street through to Grand; and that it would
create greater traffic on Grand. Mr. Marquis displayed maps and
showed photographs to the Council. He explained that the three
proposed driveways to Warren Street from the Fredericks
development would take care of the fire vehicle access.
John Mullen, who stated that the projected traffic volumes arrived
at by the staff, might mean a signal would be warranted on Grand
Avenue.
CITY COUNCIL -125- May 4, 1970
The hearing was closed.
After discussion by Council, it was moved by Councilman Herrin, seconded
by Councilman Markel, to deny the appeal, uphold the action of the Planning
Commission and instruct the City Attorney to prepare a resolution granting
Variance Application 70-12 subject to conditions in Finding of Fact dated
April 13, 1970, and adding a condition to require a fire crash gate onto
Grand Avenue and that the drainage requirements as determined by the
