WHEREAS, the Board of Zoning Adjustments of the City of Hermosa Beach, at a public hearing held on October 18, 1982 in the Council Chambers of the City Hall considered the request of Mr. Rob Saemann for permission to add a unit over an existing garage that has a nonconforming rear yard setback of 2' in lieu of the 5' required and to maintain the 2' at the upper level with the deck only; on property legally described as Lot 11, Block 1, Hiss 2nd Addition to Hermosa Beach Tract; and WHEREAS, at said public hearing, the following facts were presented for consideration; that the parking will be provided by two spaces within the garage and two open spaces in front of the garage; and WHEREAS, at said public hearing, the applicant stated that the existing back wall of the garage sits on a retaining wall; therefore, the eleva- tion of the neighbors' house is actually six feet lower than the wall; 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 Zoning Adjustments that the variance request is justified for the fol- lowing reasons: 1. That there are exceptional or extraordinary circumstances or condi- tions applicable to the property involved because the garage has been existing for a long time; because of the slope from the back and the addition being set in to the required depth, there would be no additional significant infringement on air or light for the adjacent property. 2. That such variance is necessary f or 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 a number of other properties in the same vicinity and sharing that zoning have more than one residence on the property with greater coverage than the property in question. 3. That the granting of such variance will not be materially detri- mental to the public welfare or injurious to the property or improve- ments in such vicinity and zone in which the property is located because the variance maintains it within the lot density of the area. 4. That the granting of such variance will not adversely affect the comprehensive General Plan because it is in conformity with same. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that in view of the above findings of fact , the Board of Zoning Adjustments of the City of Hermosa Beach does hereby grant the variance by the following vote: AYES: Comms.
