SECTION 2. That subject property presently has two
single-family dwelling units thereon, one occupied by applicant and
his family and the other by his caretaker and family. That the ac-
quisition by the State of California, Division of Highways, of the
right of way for the proposed Foothill Freeway will eliminate both

that does not apply generally to the property in the same zone or
Vicinity.
.
SECTION 3. That the requested variance is necessary for
the preservation and enjoyment of a substantial property right of
the applicant possessed by other property in the same zone or vi-
cinity, for upon the taking of the right of way for freeway pur-
poses, applicant will have no dwelling on the property. That the
requested variance will not be detrimental to other property or im-
provements in the area. That the requested variance will not be
contrary to good planning practice nor the comprehensive general
plan.
SECTION 4. That for the foregoing rea~~ this Commis-
sion recommends to the City Council of the City of Arcadia that a
variance be granted to permit the erection of a single-family dwell-
ing substantially in accordance with the plot plan submitted with
the application, upon condition that all kitchen facilities be re-
moved from the dwelling presently occupied by applicant and his
~ family within thirty (30) days after occupancy of the new dwelling
to be constructed upon subject property, and upon the further con-
dition that prior to commencement of any construction on subject
property applicant execute and record a covenant in favor of the
City of Arcadia declaring that after occupancy of the new dwelling
