ATTEST: . Secretary - 3 - 1241 . JULY 19, 1983 HONORABLE MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF CITY COUNCIL ARCADIA, CALIFORNIA SUBJECT: PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION 1241 42 WEST LIVE OAK AVENUE GENTLEMEN: On July 5, 1983, the applicant, William Skibsted, appealed the conditions of approval of Planning Commission Resolution 1241 granting Conditional Use Permit 83-12 for the expansion of an existing automotive garage at 42 West Live Oak Avenue. . The Applicant is proposing a revised plan which will provide for one additional parking space and 110 square feet of landscaping (total 210 square feet) along the easterly property line, but will eliminate 949.5 square feet of landscaping along the westerly property line (WeIland Avenue) and partially obstruct the visibility from a driveway by relocating the trash enclosure. Said revised plan and the Commission approved plan are attached to this report. The Planning Department had recommended approval of basically the same plan that the Planning Commission approved, instead of two less parking spaces along the easterly property line (total of 23 spaces instead of 25) and a larger trash enclosure. As stated in the staff report, it is the Planning Department's opinion that this part of the City is in need of upgrading. Therefore, whenever possible landscaping should be provided as required by Code. By relocating the trash enclosure, visibility will be impaired on one driveway. Even though modifications have been granted for walls higher than 3'_0" as per the City's visibility standards, all walls consisted of open work (wrought iron, picket fence) and solid construction was only permitted a maximum of 3'-0" above grade. Attached for your consideration are Resolution 1241, the June 14, 1983 Planning Commission minutes, the staff report and plans showing the applicant's revised plan and the plan approved by the Commission.
