SECTION 1. That said petitioner, Dr. Clinton M. Baxter
filed an application on June 28, 1961, for a Z0ne variance to allow
the moving of two duplexes onto subject property and their mainte~
name thereon. That after noti.ce given as required by ~the Zoning
Ordinance of said City, a public hearing was 'duly held on the matter
before this Commission on July 11, 1961. That subject, property is
located directly across an alley from C-l property and could be
used for a three or four-family dwelling plirsuant to Section 9253.1.3
of the Arcadia Municipal Code. That at said hearing all interested
persons were given full opportunity to be heard but that there were
no protests, either oral or written, to the granting of the variance;
that at the close of said hearing this Commission adop,ted its Reso-
lution No. 414 recommending the granting of the requested variance.
SECTION 2. That the time for appeal having :elapsedthe
City Council of the City of Arcadia on August 1, 1961" adopted its
Resolution No. 3406 granting a variance to permit the placing and
maintenance of two duplexes and garages on subject property.
SECTION 3. That when said duplexes were moved onto the
property at 920 South Second Avenue, it was found that a mistake
had been made in calculating their size in that the eave-overhang
and the bay window projection had not been included in the measure-
ments, and they therefore can not be placed on the lot in exact
conformity with the plot plans submitted with the request for a
variance; that in order to locate the buildings on the lot with
. the least detriment to surrounding property, a modification of the
front setback and side yard requirements would be necessary.
,
SECTION 4, That although there were many who protested
the granting of the requested modificationS at the hearing on
Septem~er 12, 196~ before this Commission, it was shown that inas-
much as subject property is located between commercia~ zoning and

. R-l zoning a setback line graduated between that requ~red for com-
mercial zoning and that required for R-l zoning would not constitute
poor planning. That the requested modification is necessary to pre-
vent unreasonable hardship under the circumstances.
SECTION 5. That for the foregoing reasons, this Commis-
sion hereby approves the requested modification of the front setback
line and side yard requirements to allow the bay window projection
and eave-overhang as requested in the application on file herein.
SECTION 6. The Secretary shall certify to the adoption
of this resolution.
.
I HEREBY CERTIFY that the foregoing resolution was adopted
at a regular meeting of the City Planning Commission neld on the 26th
day of September , 1961, by the following vote:
AYES: Commissioners Ferguson, Forman, Michler, Rutherford
and Golisch
