p.m.
Mr. Hector DeNicola, owner - applicant, 3870 North Delta Street,
explained this property was poorly planned at the time the three

and 18' drive.

that Zone Variance Case No. 28 be approved with the provision that
Parcel " A " be moved 3' to the north to provide an 18' driveway
and that the existing residences be inspected to meet safety
standards of the standard requirements.
Considerable discussion was held by the Commission and staff
regarding the possibility of moving Parcel " A " to the south property
line, thus creating a community drive north of Parcel " A " to serve
the three rear houses. This arrangement would help to provide for
future use of the rear land.
Commissioner Pike withdrew his motion with consent of second.

7. COMMUNICATIONS
ZION LUTHERAN CHURCH - March 8, 1965
Secretary Farrell read this communication which was a request to
waive zone variance procedure on future expansion of present
facilities upon annexation to Rosemead.

agreed that the City could not take any action at this time as
this property is not in the City. However, it was decided that this

the recommendation is made for Annexation 27 zoning..
