A RESOLUTION OF THE BOARD OF ZONING ADJUSTMENTS OF THE CITY
OF HERMOSA BEACH GRANTING A VARIANCE ON PROPERTY LOCATED AT
459 LONGFELLOW AVENUE, HERMOSA BEACH, CALIFORNIA.
WHEREAS~ the Board of Zoning Adjustments of the City of Hermosa Beach,
at a public hearing held on August 16, 1982" in the Council Chambers
of the City Hall, considered the request of Mr. and Mrs. Samuel Shaffer
for permission to add a second story to an existing single family
dwelling and to demolish a single car garage and build a new two-car
garage; said building has a nonconforming east sideyard of .8' at the
building with entry encroaching onto city property and the addition
will increase the lot coverage to 66.55%; and
WHEREAS, at said public hearing, the following facts were presented for
consideration; th•t this property has exceptional circumstances as it
was discovered when the survey was done for this addition that an error
had been made when the tract was created and this lot is approximately
3 ft. narrower than shown 9n the Tax Assessor's plat book and the Title
Deed to the property; and
WHEREAS, at said public hearing, the applicant's representative stated
that the loft shown on the plans is to be completely eliminated; and
WHEREAS, at said public hearing, no one appeared to speak in opposition
to the request; and
WHEREAS, after due consideration, it is the opinion of the Board of Zon-
ing Adjustments that the variance is justified for the following reasons:
1. That there are exceptional or extraordinary circumstances or condi-
tions applicable to the property involved because of the error in the
property line location and the request for continuation of the side-
yard encroachment is along a City street side rather than an adjac-
ent lot.
2. That such variance is necessary for the preservation and enjoyment
of a substantial property right possessed by other property in the
same vicinity and zone, and denied to the property in question
because it enables them to utilize this property in the same way
other properties in the vicinity and zone are allowed if it were
not for the sideyard error.
3. That the granting of such variance will not be materially detri-
mental to the public welfare or injurious to the property or
improvements in such vicinity and zone in which the property is
located because the nonconformity is along the street side and
does not materially affect light and air circulation or access to
fire safety personnel or any other public concern.
4. That the granting of such variance will not adversely affect the
comprehensive General Plan because it does not change the use of
the property.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Board of Zoning Adjustments does
hereby grant the request by the following vote:
