PU�LIC HEARING - Variance Appeals, Manzanita Hills Subdivision The hour of 7:30 P:M. �having arrived; Mayor Puryear opened the public hearing on appeals fr;om granting the followirig variances by the Plannirig. Ccsmmission: 5. 5 ft. building encroachment into front yard setback on real.property located at Lot 5, Manzanita Hills. Subdivision , 5. 5 ft. building encroaehment•into. front yard setback on real .property � �'� located at Lot 7, Manzanita Hills Subdivision � The following documents are on,file, in the office of the City Clerk: Affidavit bf Mailing Notice of Public Hearing Affidavit of �'r��kilication Notice of Public Hearing Appeal of Mrs . Ann L. Brown, 1225 Manzanita Hills Ave. - Mrs.Annj. L. Brown:asked, that her letter of app.eal be.made par.t of the minutes: 1225 Manzanita Hills Ave. � Redding, .Calif. March 17; 1961 � City Council, City of Redding 241 Gentlemen: Herewith is an appeal to the Council of the City of Redding to re-examine the decision of March 14, 1961, of the City Planning Commission to grant variances to permit encroachment upon established setback to Mr. Larry Zipfel on Lot 7, and to Mr. Ronald L. Farley, on Lot 5, of the Manzanita Hills Subdivision. � ; � The applications for variance of the contractors fail to fully outline the . three requirements necessary to grant a variance in accordance with � Zoning Ordinance, 5ection 1313: 31 . The only reason stated on each � application was: "Misinformation in regard to.the establishment of prop- erty lines which resulted in a 5'6" encroachment into the front yard set- back. " Mr . Zipfel's application was not signed and there was a change � in ink from "6. 0'� feet to "5. 5" on Mr. Farley�s application which was not initialed. Mr. Farley stated at the Public Hearing that it was perhaps a misunder- standing rather than misinformation as to official property line. And a further question is raised as to whether there is a violation in excess of . six (6) feet on Mr. Farley's lot, �and in excess of 5'6" on Mr. Zipfel's lot. The Planning Commissioners agreed that #1 of the requirements in the granting of a variance regarding extraordinary land conditions could not be met. Regarding requirement #2 - all information regarding setbacks, etc. , was readily available. Responsibility of a contractor to know his lot lines is not to be denied. Furthermore, when the mistake was realized there was no action on the part of the contractors to make correction. Requirement #3 was discussed at length by the Commissioners from the standpoint of public safety. An average length car cannot be parked in , the driveway and the garage door opened without the rear of the car ex- tending over the sidewalk. In many cities (of which E1 Cerrito is one) citations are issued when such-a par.ked car extends into the sidew�:lk area. Because of the location of the school, every precaution should be taken for the safety of the children attending school; and others playing from the future neighboring homes. A suggestion was made to remove a portion of Mr. Farley's garage, but they felt they c'ould not ask him to �alter his construction and not ask the same of Mr. Zipfel. It is felt the decision to grant a variance should be made on the condition of fact of land and buildings themselves. These are -- - self-imposed hardships. � � It is difficult to see how there can be any justification in the decision reached ' by the Planning Commissioners. These violations should not be tolerated if the planning and zoning restri€.ctions are enforceable. Unsound zoning ordinances do affect our real estate values, and certainly considered by new industries, businesses and developments in the city. � This whole question is deeper than the two structures concerned: It is a . matter of principle. Since:rely, - /-Mrs . Ann L. Brown � - cc Robert Cowden, City Manager Chris Evans, City Planning Director Joseph Redmon, City Attorney � Planning Director Evans submitted Findings of the Planning Commission in the matter of the application of Ronald L. Farley for a variance to encroach 5'6" into the front yard setback - File No. V-1 -61 and Findings of the Planning Commission in the matter of the application of Larry Zipfel for a variance to encroach 5'6" into the front yard setback - File No. V-2-61 . 242 The Findings, dated March 14, 1961, on V-1:-61 and on V-2-61 are as folLows: "Now, therefore, the Planning Commission.of the City of Redding hereby orders that the application be granted as per plot plan sub- mitted, and that it is the finding of the Planning Commission that said property qualifies under Section 1313. 31 (A) of the Zoning Ordinance and that this variance is in harm.ony witli the general purpose of said Ordinance. " Mrs . Ann Brown, speaking from the floor, said .she would like to make the fallow- ing points: That as a citizen and taxpayer living under the democratic form of govern- ment, was it asking. too much that complainant be heard; was it asking too much that corrective actions be taken. If an ordinance is just today, and tomorrow, it should be enforced; if not enfor_c�ea�le it should be rescinded and an ar�or:ceablert ordinance enacted If Gity issues no work s.top .order, .perhaps City should take some action to see that buildings are properly placed. Mayor Puryear stated council dealt as justly as they could; many problems were involved and the findings of the Planning Commission seemed entirely fair. MOTION: Made by Councilman Simons, seconded by Councilman Martin the hearing be closed. The Vote: Unanimous Ayes . MOTION: Made by Councilman Simons, seconded by Councilman Fulkerth the Findings of the Planning Commission be adopted, File No. V-1-61, granting variance to Ronald L. Farley, Lot 5, Manzanita Hills Subdivision. Voting was as follows: Ayes: Councilmen - Fulkerth, Martin, Simons and Puryear Noes: Councilmen - None Absent: Councilmen - None Abstain: Councilmen - Moty MOTION: Made by Councilman Simons, seconded by Councilman Martin the Findings of the Planning Commission be approyed, File No. V-2-61, granting variance to Larry Zipfel, Lot 7, Manzariita.Hills Subdivision. , Voting was as follows: Ayes: Councilmen. - Fulkerth, Martin, Simons and Puryear Noes: Councilmen - None Absent: Councilmen - None Abstain:Councilmen - Moty Councilman Moty explained he would abstain from voting in view of the fact this was his first council meeting and he had not heard previous discussions of tlie problem . _ Councilman Fulkerth then commended Mrs. Brown, Mr. Brown and Mr. Robert Hill for their interest, saying.it was appreciated; a mistake had been made by the contractors; they had not tried to circumv�nt the law, they had admitted their mistake. That in his opinion they had paid their penalty for this through adverse publicity and the difficulty they would experience in the financing. City Attorney Redmon advised he was working with Building Officials Penix and Otis and Planning Director Evans on the enforcement of zoning setback regulations; this would be referred to the Board of Appeals, then brought to Council for their attention. Ma�yor Puryear stated what had happened was very unfortunate �.nd very embarrass'- , ing; that Czty was taking steps to correct the ordinance, eliminating this happening in the futur e. � � 243 Councilman Simons said he favored a plan being worked out by the Planning Director, the Planning Commission and the Building Official when a subdivision was first proposed, a blue print of requirements in a condensed form. PUBLIC HEARING, - Ridge Drive Assessment Distric.t 1960-2 The hour of 8:00 P. M. having arrived; Mayor. Puryear opened the public hearing on Ridge Drive Assessment District 1960=2.

City Engineer Ward advised.the assessment was spread on the basis of front foot- �7� age; the Skerke lot was a large, corner lot.and the assessmerit was proportionately the same as other lots in the district. , Mr. Ed Ness, Bond Attorney for the District, stated before the district was formed a committee of residents of the area had worked out the details of the proposed district and adequate consideration had been given to th� methad of spread._ He requested a ten minute recess to discuss`with council the possible legal problem involved. City Attorney Redmon ruled this recess would be legal as the problem to be dis- cussed involved possible pending litigation. Mayor Puryear called a 10 minute recess: ' , Upon reconvening, Mayor Puryear ascertained there were no further protests .

He states the facility involves having a small lift pump station at the intersection of Grandview_ and Railroad Avenues; it will pump north to a point just south of Henry Avenue, _ whe�re from tliere it flows into gravity line. There are approximately 120 lots in the district, which would cost about $40, 000 to $50, 000.
