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.
