A RESOLUTION OF THE BOARD OF ZONING ADJUSTMENTS OF THE CITY OF HERMOSA
BEACH GRANTING A VARIANCE FOR A SIX-FOOT FENCE AT PROPERTY LINE ON PROP-
ERTY LOCATED AT 505 GOULD AVENUE, HERMOSA BEACH, CALIFORNIA.
WHEREAS, the Board of Zoning Adjustments of the City of Hermosa Beach, at a public
hearing held on September 20, 1976, in the Council Chambers of the City Hall, con-
sidered the request of Mr. and Mrs. Richard B. Ganong for a variance to construct
a fence (wall) to a maximum height of 6 ft. at property line (front lot line and
east lot line at street side), on property known as Lot 3 and NE 10 1 of Lot 1,
Block 136, Shakespeare Tract; and
WHEREAS, at said public hearing, the following facts were presented for considera-
tion; that the proposed construction shall not interfere with the public safety
and welfare and should reduce the unnecessary hardship of the constant traffic
flow in the immediate vicinity; and
WHEREAS, at said public hearing, the applicants stated that their house is located
on a busy intersection; that at present 10 stop signs exist and the noise level is
extremely high; that the fence is necessary for both safety and privacy; that they
would like to landscaoe their yard for outdoor living purposes; that the wall will
be of cement block construction with stucco over and used bricks at the corners; 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 Adjust-
ments, that the variance request is justified for the following reasons:
1. That there are exceptional or extraordinary circumstances or conditions
applicable to the property involved because of the excessive traffic
noise in the area.
2. That the 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
adjoins a major arterial approach to the city.
3. That the granting of such variance will not be materially detrimental
to the public welfare or injurious to the property or improvements in
such vicinity and zone in which the property is located because the
fence will not be impeding visibility.
4. That the granting of the variance will not adversely affect the compre-
hensive General Plan because it does not affect zoning or density.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that in view of the above findings of fact, the
Board of Zoning Adjustments does hereby grant the variance by the following vote:
AYES: Corrons. Beard, Collins, Cummings, Ebey, Schutz, Toth, Chmn. Sims
NOES: None
ABSENT: None
