RE: Request for Continuance of Zone Variance 10-02 and Modification 10-04
The Planning Division is requesting that the public hearing for Zone Variance 10-02 and
Modification 10-04 be continued to September 20, 2010. Fresh and Easy Neighborhood Market,
Inc. submitted a Zone Variance and a Modification application on August 5, 2010, requesting to
deviate from the required construction of a six-foot high masonry wall along the southeast property
line. Section 17.84.130 of the Rosemead Municipal Code requires the installation of a six-foot solid
masonry wall where parking area abuts property classified for residential uses. Section 17.12.190
of the Rosemead Municipal Code requires that a six-foot masonry wall be installed where a
commercially zoned lot has a common line with a residentially zoned property.
The applicant has indicated that the construction of a six-foot masonry wall is not possible due to
an existing nine-foot wide sanitary sewer easement (recorded on July 7, 1970) and a four-foot wide
telephone easement, which runs along the east property line: However, the applications are
currently incomplete as further information is required to prove that permits cannot be obtained to
build a six-foot masonry wall within the sewer and telephone easement. The continuance will allow
the applicant to further research this matter.
