DONNA L. BUTLER
ASSOCIATE PLANNER
Mr. & Mrs. Ronald Staebler
1335 - 1337 South Second Avenue
Zone Variance to add a two-story addition to a
second dwelling on an R-1 lot.
18,814 square feet
70 feet on Second Avenue
The site is developed with two single-family
dwellings; zoned R-1
Properties to the North, South, East and West
are developed with single-family dwellings;
zoned R-1
Single-family residential, 0 - 6 du/ac
The main dwelling (1335 South Second) was constructed in 1940, with
additions made in 1947 and 1958.
In July, 1963, the Planning Commission approved M-67-37 to add a
second dwelling on an R-1 lot.
In October, 1963 building permits were issued for the construction of
a new dwelling and garage (1337 South Second).
In June, 1964, the garage for the front dwelling unit was relocated
between the two dwellings,

.
In, December, 1968, the above-mentioned garage was demolished and a
swimming pool constructed The garage was not replaced.
A second-~tory addition was constructed onto the main dwelling in 1974.
SPECIAL INFORMATION
,
The subject property is owned by Ronald and Roger Staebler. Both
brothers reside on the property with their ,families.
The applicant, Roger Staebler, is proposing to add 670 square feet to
the existing second dwelling, providing a total square footage of
1,920 square feet. The addition will include a family room and bedroom,
The existing second dwelling is set back 35' from the rear property
line, The addition is proposed to be two stories, located 20' from
the rear (westerly) property line and 16'from the'side (northerly)
property line,
The code requires a minimum of 35 feet for a two-story dwelling.
There is no garage for the front dwelling.
If this application were approved as presented, a modification for a
20' rear yard setback would be required,
... Both houses are well maintained and in good condition.
REQUIRED FINDINGS:
The Planning Commission should examine the information and make findings
which are relevant to the prerequisite conditions below:
Section 9291.1.2 of the Arcadia Municipal Code states:
requisite Conditions, Before a variance may be granted,
be shown:
"Pre-
itsnall
A, That there are exceptional or extraordinary circumstances
or conditions applicable to the property involved, or to
the intended use of the property, that do not apply generally
to the property or class of use in the same zone or vicinity.
B. That the granting of such variance will not be materially
detrimental to the public health or welfare or injurious to
the property or improvements in such zone or vicinity in
which the property is located.
C, That such variance is necessary for the preservation and
enjoyment of a substantial property right of the applicant
.
V-81-1
May 26, 1981
Page 2
c
(
.
possessed by other property in the same zone and vicinity.
D. That the granting of such variance will not adversely
affect the comprehensive General Plan."
Attached for your consideration are those pages of the application in
which the applicants stated their case regarding the aforementioned pre-
requisite conditions, a petition signed by nine neighbors indicating
no objections to the addition, a letter from Mrs. Ronald Staebler
and five letters from professionals attesting to the Staebler's son's
hearing impairment.
ANALYSIS
The granting of this variance could set a precedent for other properties
in the City which have more than one dwelling; however, there are
exceptional circumstances which do not generally apply to similar
properties in this zone. Both dwellings on the lot are occupied by
the property owners and have been occupied by them for 16 years.
Since the Staeblers have owned the property, neither one of the dwelling
units have ever been rented.
.
The granting of the variance will not be materially detrimental to the
public health or welfare or injurious to the property or improvements
in such zone or vicinity because the addition to the dwelling will not
change the occupancy or use of the property.
The granting of this variance would not adversely affect the General
Plan since the dwelling is existing and does comply with the General
Plan designation of single-family residential, 0-6 du/ac.
If this application is approved staff would recommend that the dwelling
be set back a minimum of 35 feet from the rear property line, and
that a garage or carport be constructed for the main dwelling.
Pursuant to the provisions of the California Environmental Quality
Act, the Planning Department has prepared an initial study for the
proposed project. Said initial study did not disclose any substantial
or potentially substantial adverse change in any of the physical
conditions within the area affected by the project including land,
air, water, minerals, flora, fauna, ambient noise, and objects of
historical or aesthetic significance. Therefore, a Negative Declaration
has been prepared for this project.
Before the Planning Commission takes action on this project, the
Commission should "move to approve and file the Negative Declaration
and find that the project will not have a significant effect on
the environment."

PREQUISITE CONDITIONS: (The law requires that the conditions set forth below be
clearly established before a zone variance ~ be granted.)
EXPLAIN IN DETAIL UHEREIN YOUR CASE CONFO~~S TO THE FOLLOWING FOUR CONDITIONS:
1. That there are exceptional or extraordinary circumstances or conditions applica-
ble to the property involved, or to the intended use of the property, that do not
apply generally to the property or class of use in the same zone or vicinity.
There is an unnecessary hardship imposed on our family,
specifically on our son who is audiologicallY handicapped.
Our 1250 square foot, two bedroom home cannot accommodate
three growing sons, ages fourteen, thirteen and eleven, and
still afford the appropriate opportunities for study and
privacy for our handicapped son's psychOlogical and academic
development, We feel that no precedent would be set beCAll~e nf
our unique and extraordinary circumstances.
.
2. That the granting of such variance will not be materially detrimental to the
public health or welfare or injurious to the property or improvements in such
zone or vicinity.
Our proposed development would be insi~ificant and tntAlly
compatible with surrounding double story cul de sac develop-
ments, just as deep and only two lots north. It would not be
injurious to public health or welfare in any way. Tt'wnllld
only be an improvement on this iointly owned, twn dwell1~g
I'
estate. It would not alter the dens1ty nf tne vjc1~1ty R~n
would still maintain the right to privAcy_
.

(

3.
Thac such variance is necessary for che preservaCion and enjoymenc of a substan-
tial prClp,e,ny,Jight of the applicant possessed by other property in the same zone
and vicinity,
We want the opportunity to develop our property which is our
permanent home, for the needed welfare of our growing family,
which includes a handicapped child, to the same extent that the
adjoining properties have been permitted to already develop, The
ratio of square footage of development to square footage of land
would be significantly less than the existing cuI de sac, two
story development in proximity to ours, two lots north on Second
4.
and Ilene, Just as it has been our right for the past 16 years to
pay taxes on our property, we feel it is our civil and nrivate
right to improve our home, to alleviate the hardship that is being
.
imposed on our famil v because. of the. existirw.. small auarters
That the granting of such varfance will not adversely a~ect -the cbmprehenslve
General Plan.

1337 South Second Avenue
Arcadia, California 91006
May 1, 1981
Planning Commission
Arcadia City Hall
Arcadia, California 91006
Dear Commissioners,
.
This is not a letter. This is a plea from our
family to you. As a mother, a registered nurse and as a resident
of Arcadia for the past sixteen years, I am asking you to allow
an addition to our inadequate two bedroom 1250 square foot home,
because of the grave hardship it is imposing on our family of
five.
Please understand that this is our permanent
home. We are its original occupants. It is not a rental. It has
never been a rental, It will not be a rental. Financially, we
are unable to relocate, so we MUst have additional roon. We pur-
chased our home in joint tenancy with my husband's twin brother
sixteen years ago, in good faith, with the intention of expanding
as our family grew. We now find ourselves in desperate need, as
we watch our three DOYs growing into teenage.
'Nhile we feel it is a necessity for the whole
family, I must insist that it is especially important for our
eldest son, Kenneth, who is fourteen and handicapped. He is
hearing inpaired; profoundly deaf in his right ear and severely
hard of hearing in his left ear. He must wear a hearing aid,
which even though a tremendous help, does not eliminate background
noise. It is therefore vital that he have a room of his own where
he may study in privacy and quiet. He spends his day surrounded
by noise, so a place where he ~ay find some spiritual solitude. is
a psychological, medical and academic necessity.
We are in such grave need of this added room
that we have already accepted and planned to use my husband's
entire retirement funds. Therefore, it was a shocking disappoint-
ment to learn that we are facing a possible denial of our already
planned family room with bedroom and bath above.
Our family has been praying fervently that Our
Lord will soften your hearts and touch your consciences so that
you hear and help us, We love Arcadia and we hope you will find
the means to grant our request,
.
Sincerely yours,
",

To Whom It May Concern:
Because of his hearing impairment, it is,
necessary for Kenneth Staebler's psychological,
medical , and academic development to have
the confines of his own room for privacy,
comfort and study purposes.

To Whom It May Concern,
By request of the mother of Kenneth Staebler this letter is to state the needs for
an acoustically appropriate environment for her severely hard of hearing child,
The circumstances described by Mrs. Staebler at home calls for an addition of a
room for Kenneth allowing him to study in a quiet environment to understand verbal
tutoring. He is presently sharing one of the two bedrooms in his house with two
brothers,
In closing it is my professional opInIon that Kenneth who is now attending a "normal
hearing school" must have all of the appropriate opportunities conducive in aiding
his academic abilities.
Sincerely Yours,

Dear Commissioners,
For the past ten months, Kenneth Staebler has been
seen by me as a private patient because of his moderate to severe
sensori-neural hearing loss.
Inasmuch as the Staeblers are paying for this private
therapy because they wish to do everything they can to help Kenneth
to overcome his handicap, I think they surely deserve the needed
variance that wi I I enable them to add an additional room so he can
have a private space in which to study.
.
Your consideration of this matter is much appreciated.
Sincerely,
U~,Jd ~cP-6

To uhom It ~ay Concern:
Kenneth Staebler was a student in my sixth grade class
at Granada School in Alhambra, California, I observed and
found that bis academe perfor;nance was of higher quality
on those days when quiet and uncrowded classroom conditions
prevailed,
I have visited the Staebler borne and with the present
over-crcwded bedroore facilities for the Staebler children,
it is my opionion that Kenneth should have his own private
room for all purposes.
Sincerely,
.

To Whom it May Concern:
.
Kenneth Staebler has been attending Richard H. Dana Junior High School as
a seventh grader for the 1980-81 school year. He is an extremely hard
=rker and does very well in school despite a severe hearing loss which
has plagued him for most of his life, Powever, as he progresses in the
higher grades tre difficulty of the courses will be greater and there will
be a greater need for increased concentration on the part of Kenneth.
It has been brought to our attention that Kenneth lives in a home where be
is afforded very little privacy to accomplish his school work. It is also
our understanding that Kermeth I s parents are in a position to add an addition
on to their present home to provide the additional space needed,
We hope that the city of Arcadia will reconsider this problem and rule in
favor of the Staebler family.
