Mr. Schubach stated this previously heard item was brought back due to site problems which the applicant had tried to correct . Mr. Schubach referenced the soil engineering report, site photographs, a Building Department report, revisions submitted by the applicant which provided open space more than adequate to comply with the new Policy Statement and the removal of the on-site trailer. He noted the resolution of approval included a condition that . the CC&R's be corrected, that a 7-feet minimum clearance be provided for vehicles and three 36" box trees were clearly depicted. . He stated the Building Department was working with the applicant's engineer regarding the issue of filling the abandoned swimming pool without a permit to obtain satisfactory soil studies prior to issuing a grade J?ermit. Mr. Schubach stated he had not had the opportun- ity to review the soil report. 2 P.C. Minutes 7-7-92 Public Hearing opened by Chmn.

He stated he had made an agreement w1. th his neighbor, Ms. Ford, that he would pay for a new block wall in lieu of any damage to the wood fence. Mr. Mierop agreed to remove any fill that was on his pro~erty and restated his intent to use the dirt to only fill the pool. Mr. Mierop discussed previous actions he had taken, as well as his driveway slope, fin- ished floor height and ventilation of the ground-floor bedroom with Comm. Oakes. Bill Gray, 1115 17th Street, owns property directly across the street from the proposed construction site. He stated removal of the trailer was appreciated. He requested that construction debris be removed from the basement. He felt that enough dirt to fill the pool, as well as the concrete planner, and had been level out in the front yard. He expressed his concern regarding neighborhood protection from the resultant termites. Jacob Mierop, 1218 6th Street, rebutted the dirt had been leveled in f rent of the structure in order to remove it from the fence area. He stated only dry wall was in the basement. No one else wished to speak regarding this item, and Chmn. Merl closed the Public Hearing at 7:33 p.m. Chmn. Merl and Mr. Schubach discussed the removal of the dirt, as well as steps taken by the Building Department to assure removal of that fill dirt and its report relating to this issue. Mr. Schubach stated the applicant would have to remove the soil, fill in the pool in order to meet the conditions of approval. Chrnn. Merl commented the.re- port received from the Building Department did not appear to meet the Commission"s previous requests. Mr.· Lee stated the soil report received by the Commission addres- sed the issue of the uncompacted fill brought onto the site, however, it did not state exactly what would happen. He suggested it was appropriate for the Commission to consider a continuance until a more detailed Building Department report has been received by the Commission. Mr. Schubach reiterated the actions taken by the applicant to date. Comm. Marks suggested removal of the soil· be made a condition prior to issuance of a building p~r~it, to which the Commission agreed. Termites should be . automatically removed when .the wood is removed from the • site. Comm. Oaks requested that clearance of the driveway .3 P.C.

He outlined the recommended hours of entertainment, as ·well as operation, noting this location is part of a large shopping center. Life entertainment would be limited to a maximum of two.performers and non-amplified acoustic music on week ends only, ceasing at 10:00 P.M. Comm. Suard discussed condition #7 with Mr. Schubach. Public Hearing opened by Chmn. Merl at 7:51 p.m. Will Neivez, applicant's representative, introduced · the applicant, Shirley Felner and stated they would stipulate to the _conditions of approval. He . requested the enter- tainment hours . be expanded to include every day of the week primarily between the hours of 6:00 and 9:00 p.m. He stated the Peruvian musicians have special wind instru- ments and a drum, and explained where the musicians would 4 P.C. Minutes 7-7-92 j be located within the restaurant. He noted the "family" did have three other operations. !?,: • Roger Bacon, ilOO Pacific Coast Highway, as the property o wn er, discussed his pleasure with leasing to the appli- c ant, noting the cleanliness, food, bakery and exce llent o perat ions of the other establishments owned by the f am ily . He felt the entertainment would be very low- keyed, with no amplification. Wesley Bush, Chamber of Commerce, stated his pleasure with this type of restaurant. He felt the music was unique and the operation was well-run. Don Haggerty, 1550 Prospect, felt many previous restaur- ants have been unable to obtain a beer and wine license, and therefore went out of business. He supported approval of the application. No one else wished to speak regarding this item, and Chmn. Merl closed the Public Hearing at 7:59 p.m. MOTION b¥ Comm. Suard, seconded by Comm. Oakes, to APPROVE application CUP 92-7, with an amendment to Item #10 to allow the Peruvian type of music every night of the week. AYES: NOES: ABSENT: ABSTAIN: Comm. Marks, Oakes, Suard, Chmn.

CUP 92-8 --CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT TO ALLOW A SNACK SHOP WITH LESS THAN REQUIRED PARKING, AN D ADOPTION OF AN ENVIRONMENTAL NEGATIVE DECLARATION AT 1314 HERMOSA AVENUE, THE SQUEEZE CUP. Recommended Action: To approve said Conditional Use Permit adopt the Environmental Negative Declaration. Mr. Schubach stated the bu siness would be primarily the sale of Italian Ice. Staff believed the bus iness emph asis was for snack food and qu ick service, with a large percentage of the customers being pedestrians and am~le public parking available; a ll of which would justify reduction o~ the parking requirements . He stated the previous business had a 4 space requirement, while this one would require 10 space s and noted the available options. Mr. Schubach stated Staff supported waiving the requirements, but commented it would be_ necessary that the 5 P.C. Minutes 7-7-92 business be conditioned to be maintained as a snack shop. Staff also recommended exterior site improvements. ~ . Public Hearing·-opened by Chmn. Merl at 8:05 p.m. Joe Iacopino, applicant, stated the conditions were acceptable. He explained he and his family had owned a similar business for many years. He stated he would change the sign on the back of the building and paint the rear of the building if it were necessary. He agreed to sharing of the trash can with his adjacent neighbor. He explained the Italian Ice was an old family recipe and would be made on site. Wesler Bush, Chamber of Commerce, discussed the problems experienced by small businesses and stated the Chamber of Commerce's support of this application. No one else wished to speak regarding this item, and Chmn. Merl closed the Public Hearing at 8:10 p.m. MOTION b¥ Comm. Suard, seconded by Comm. Oakes, to APPROVE application cup 92-8, as s~ated. AYES: NOES: ABSENT: ABSTAIN: Comm. Marks, Oakes, Suard, Chmn. Merl None Comm. Di Monda None Chmn. Merl stated this application had been approved; subject to appeal within 10 days to the City Council. CUP 92-11 CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT TO APPROVE THE EXISTING DANCE AREA AND TO ALLOW LIVE ENTERTAINMENT TO EXCEED DINNER MUSIC LEVEL AT 2701 PACIFIC COAST HIGHWAY, THE BEACH BOYS CAFE. Recommended Action: To approve said Conditional Use Permit amendment. Mr. Schubach described the current building and previous businesses at this location, as well as the building remodeling and improvements which included painting, resurfacing of the parking lot, ventilation improvements, installation of a sound wall and valet parking being currently offered. He discussed the issues for the Commission"s consideration. While noting that noise impact was .still a concern, Staff saw no wisdom in allowing dancing with recorded music but not with live music. Mr. Schubach explained the conditions which were included to address the issue of both potential noise generated_by 6 P.C. Minutes 7-7-92 both music and patrons. He discussed the impacts to parking, noting the additional off-site parking would appear to satisfy the added demand and recommended a condition be included that provided off-site parking during the evenings during live music performances, complementary valet parking be provided and a copy of the parking agreement be maintained in the Planning Dept. 's files. Staff did not object to the requested change in hours, but did have concerns regarding the allowance of daily entertainment to 1:30 a.m. Mr. Schubach noted con- ditions to require a "NO PARKING" sign and a gate to the trash dumpster and addressed Staff's capability to conduct noise measurement tests. Comm. Marks discussed the enclosed location of the music with Mr. Schubach. Public Hearing opened by Chmn. Merl at 8:20 p.m. Steve Jacobson, 2701 Pacific Coast Highway, corrected Staff's report information regarding the additional parking agreement, noting he had a month-to-month agreement with the landlord of the parking area .. He stated that the additional· parking was not a requirement but that he had wished to be a good neighbor by offering the additional parking and remodeling the building and im1;>roved the air conditioning machinery to reduce the noise level. Mr. Jacobson explained that dancing with live entertain- ment would be advantageous ·because it would attract an older clientele. He stated that with a "D.J.", a younger audience is attracted, resulting in louder music and noise. He felt elimination of the "D.J." format and im1;>lementation of live entertainment would reduce the noise. Mr. Jacobson stated he currently had parking for 47 cars, and with the parking agreement, 200 additional spaces would be available. He requested that valet parking not be required each evening due to a lack of business on Mondays and Tuesdays. Valet parking is provided from • Wednesday through Sunday. Comm. Oakes expressed concern regarding a short-term ~arking agreement and noted her approval that valet parking provided that clientele exit from the front door, therefore alleviating noise to the neighbors to the back .of the site. Mr. Jacobson reiter- ated that he currently met the on-site parking require- ment and had had no complaints regarding the current live music. He stated if anyone had a complaint, he wanted them to come to him so that he could current any problems. Ruth Sullivan, 2954 La Carlita Place, stated she could hear voices from the parking lot. She discussed her 7 P.C. Minutes 7-7-92 confusion relating to Staff's report and discussed the placement of the speakers within the restaurant with Mr. Schubach. Mr •. '~ Schubach reiterated that Staff would be conducting on-site acoustical analyses. She expressed the wish that the doors and windows remain closed during the hours of music, as stating within the C.U.P. Chris Howell, 2966 La Carlita Place, felt that live music negatively altered the character of a neighborhood and requested that Staff monitor the establishment. . He requested that noise in the early morning hours be reduced or eliminated. Gayle Duggan, area lessee, stated there was a huge difference between this restaurant and the previous ones. She noted the music was no problem, the clientele was entirely different, valet parking was beneficial and supported approval of the application. Richard Sullivan, 2954 La Carlita Place, encouraged the Commission to deny the application, noting an acoustic survey was warranted and stated his opposition to allow- ing this type of business within the area. Don Haggerty, 1550· Prospect, suggested approval of the C.U.P. with a 1:00 A.M. closure and if there were no problems for a period of six months, changing the hours of operation to closure at 1:30 A.M. He felt this business was of benefit to the City. He stated the applicant should not be penalized for ~he previous owners' actions. Steve Jacobson stated he had had live entertainment and had not received any complaints. He would respond to any complaints received. He stated the Police Dept. felt he had done an excellent job in eliminating the noise.· He stated he can't completely control the general public but continued to take action and remain "good neighbors". He reiterated the issue was not whether he could have danc- ing, but if dancing would be permitted with live enter- tainment. Patrick Howe, representing the applicant, stated Item· 15(c) contained rather threatening wording, and requested it be amended to allow a 90 to 120 day grace period if the parking agreement were terminated. This time ~eriod would allow the applicant to obtain other parking, since parking is such a problem within Hermosa Beach. He also stated the current on-site parking provided matched that of the previous business. Mr. Howe requested amendment of Item 11, in that it was not economically feasible, nor war- ranted due to the down turn in volume, that a valet service be utilized every day of the week. No one else wished to speak regarding this item, and Chmn. Merl closed the Public Hearing at 8:54 p.m. 8 P.C. Minutes 7-7-92 Comm. Suard and Mr. Schubach discussed Staff's capability to monitor the noise levels ~nd the extent of the mo~itor- ing that would~be conducted by Staff during the six-month test period. Comm. Suard requested that Staff check to assure that Mondays and Tuesdays are not overc rowded as far as val et parking was concerned and asked if Item Nos. 7 and 20 should be coordinated in terms of after-closure parking lot noise, to which Mr. Schubach agreed. Chmn . Merl supported the six-month review period , agreed that it was illo gical to allow dancing t o recorded mus ic but not live entert ainment. Co mm. Oake s expressed her concerns relating to t he-parking lot short term agreement issue. Mr. Schubach suggested an alternative: if ·the parking could not be provided at the adjacent property, the app licant could re stripe his existing parking, allowing for "stacking" with the valet 1;>arking as an alternative. Chmn. Merl r equested that if parking is disrupted, the applicant wou ld notify Staff, supplying a proposal a ddress ing the problem , and a review by the Commission could be conducted within 30 days. Mr. Lee clarified that termination of live entertainment woul d no t commence until 60 day s after t he termi n ation of the par k ine:, agreement. Comm. Oakes requested that the nois e within the park ing l ot also be addressed, s ince residents had lodged c0mplaints, to which Chmn. Merl agreed. Mr. Lee asked for clarification of Item 15 (A), Page 8 , as to whether the _E>arking agreement would be rec orded aga inst property o r if the current agreement was acc eptable. The applicant was directed to obtain a minimum of a six-month term parking agreement, with a possibility o f a 3 0-day notice terminat ion and notif i- cation to the City, allowi ng the applicant a 60-day period in which to provide replac eme nt parking. MOTION by Chmn. Merl, seconded b y Comm. Suard, to APP ROVE Staff's recommendation relating to appl ication 9 2 ~11, wi th the following amendments: ( 1) Item # 11 -valet parking will be required Wednesdays through Sundays; every other day t hat the parking lot is filled, valet service mu st be provided , (2) Item #1 5(A) -the minimum parameters for the parking arrangement is a six -month term of lease with a 30 day notice of termination by either party, wi t h the City to be notified if the agreement is to be t erminated, (3) Item # 15 ( C ) within 30 days of receiving notic e of parking ag re ement termination, the Planning Commi ssion shall review that action, and thi s item shall p r ovide a 60 day period to enable the applicant to provide substitute addi tional parking if the parking agreement is terminated, and (4 ) the addre ss of the park i ng lot shall be omitted to allow the applic ant to o btain an agreement at another location. 9 P.C.

HEARINGS NR 92-3 --AN EXCEPTION TO SECTION 13-7(b) TO ADD GREATER THAN 50% ADDITION TO AN EXISTING NON-CONFORMING SINGLE FAMILY DWELLING AT 1015 4TH STREET. Recommended Action: To approve said request. Mr. Schubach explained the east side yard is only 2.6 feet wide at its narrowest point, instead of the required minimum of 5 feet, resulting in the non-conformity; and only one ~arking space is available, to be corrected with the addition of a two-car garage. He described the pro- ~osed addition, open space, grade and planted area, stat- ing Staff's only concern was the proposed added area was designed to allow conversion into a second unit, including its own access, its own stairway access to a bedroom and a wet bar. The applicant expressed his willingness to place a restriction on the property to limit it to one unit. Mr. Schubach stated the existing non-conforming side yard setback did not appear to be severe and the size of the addit ion and resulting house size would be moderate in scale. He stated the Commission must make a finding that the goals, intent and purpose of Article 13 were being met prior to approval. Staff recommended approval. There were no questions of Staff, and at 9:13 p.m., Chmn. Merl invited the applicant to speak. Lance Widman, 1015 4th Street, bought the property in 1976, and, due to family expansion, now wishes to enlarge his home. Since the purchase, he has continually upgraded the structure. He stated the remodel would be an add on to the rear with no demolition to the current structure, noted the lot is "combined", is approximately 5,000 sq. ft. with an 1, 10 0 sq. ft. livable space structure. He discussed the non-conformities, noted the rest of the property and . structure were conforming, the parking would be brought into conformance and stated his proposed addition exceeded the "50% of value" allowance. Mr. Widman agreed to sign a dead restriction to assure· no bootleg unit would exist. He stated the P.roposed deck would be immediately accessible from the family room. H~ 10 P.C. Minutes 7-7-92 corrected the Staff Report in that no wet bar is planned, b:ut :z;:ather a designated "bar area". He stated the side yard setback would be the only remaining non-conformity, and the proposed addition was consistent with development within the neighborhood. Mr. Widman introduced the project architect, who did not speak. Comm. Oakes and Mr. Widman discussed the width between Mr. Widman• s property and his adjacent neighbor. Mr. Widman stated the maximum building height would be 25 feet and described the architectural treatment of the stairwa~ and building exterior. Comm. Suard discussed the possibility of Codes changes to allow a pitched roof on the proposed addition. Mr. Widman had discussed this with Staff, noting it was not possible and the plan had been designed accordingly, to which Mr. Schubach explained further. The Commission agreed the non-conformity was minor; efforts to blend the structure had been looked into. MOTION by Comm. Marks, seconded by Comm. Suard, to APPROVE application NR 92-3 for exception to Section 13-7 (b) as stated. AYES: NOES: ABSENT: ABSTAIN: Comm. Marks,· Oakes, Suard, Chmn. Merl None· Comm. Di Monda None Chmn.

Recommended Action: To approve said request. Mr. Schubach stated the applicant proposed to add a bath-· room and walk-in closet, a 250 sq. ft. addition, and an interior remodel of the unit along Bayview Drive. He explained the property and structure non-conformities, noting density, parking and setback non-conformities were no severe or unusual for the area and would not intensify the situation. Mr. Schubach noted addition parking space was available to the south of unit B if the storage structure was removed and recommended such a condition. He stated the Commission must make a finding that the goals, intent and purpose of Article 13 are met prior to approval. 11 P.C. Minutes 7-7-92 There were no questions of Staff, and at 9:43 p.m., Chmn. M~rl ,invited the applicant to speak. ~· Tim Meenan, f66 Manhattan Avenue, co-owner, stated the stairs would probably remain in place, rather than moving an outside wall three inches to sup~ort the upstairs bedroom. Comm. Marks and Mr. Meenan discussed access to the current stairway and plan elevation. Mr. Meenan described the lot size and existing structures, as well as the non-conformities in the side yard. He stated the proposed remodel conforms in every respect and stressed no demolition would be conducted. He stated the 1938 build- ing would be very expensive to remodel} it would be less expensive to demolish and rebuild, but they could not do that due to the building ordinance restrictions. Mr. Meenan stated the property had been zoned R-3 when he and his brother purchased it, but the zone had since changed. There are three standard sized and one compact parking spaces on site. He stated exterior efforts (stucco, windows) would be made to ·enhance an architectural blend. John Meenan, 166 Manhattan Avenue, Unit B, discussed with Comm. Marks the intention to locate a deck on the west side. Chmn. Merl confirmed the only increase in living area space would be the addition of a walk-in closet and bathroom. Comm. Oakes confirmed the unit B would be increased only 40 sq. ft., with a total remodel of the interior. Chmn. Merl and Mr. Schubach discussed the addition of a parking space in the side yard encroachment area. MOTION by Comm. Suard, seconded by Comm.

It was explained to Ms. Duggan compliance to the variance application 12 P.C. Minutes 7-7-92 procedure was necessary. Wesler Bush, Chamber of Commerce, stated his understanding that the Chamber of Commerce would also be part of the planning process, requesting notification to the Chamber prior to any action being taken. Mr. Schubach detailed actions . taken to date, stating the Chamber of Commerce would receive notification in a timely manner. RECEIVE AND FILE b.
