PAGE TWO
Mr. Paul Burbank, owner of the property at 51102 Sereno Drive, said
he would remove the illegal patio covers as he intends to install a
pool at that location, and that he would remove the inoperative
vehicle or store it in the garage, and will clean up the property
but would like 45 days to accomplish all this work. The letters re-
garding the condition of the property were apparently sent to his
brother's address in San Gabriel as he and his brother are joint -
tenant owners of the property. Mr. Paul Burbank stated he had lived
there for 5 or 6 years. There are five rental units on the property
There being no one else to speak to the issue the hearing was closed.
The Commissioners, in discussion, agreed that 45 days should be granted
to correct the objectionable conditions, that he should be required to
cut back the vegetation and remove the debris from the property, install
a two -car garage door and paint the garage.
Commissioner Stacy moved to adopt a resolution determining the existence
of a public nuisance at 51102 Sereno Drive, with conditions of . abatement
for the objectionable items mentioned in Resolution 83- 1082PC as outlined
by the Commissioners, with an abatement period of 45 days, and to adopt
by title only the Resolution to this effect. Motion was seconded by
Commissioner Froehle and carried unanimously.
City Attorney Martin read title to Resolution No. 83- 1083PC, A RESOLUTION
OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF TEMPLE CITY DETERMINING THE
EXISTENCE OF A PUBLIC NUISANCE AT 51102 SERENO DRIVE AND RECOMMENDING
ABATEMENT THEREOF.

9. MATTERS FROM CITY OFFICIALS
(a) Set Public Hearing to determine existence of a public nuisance
for October 11, 1983 for:
4802 Agnes Avenue - Owner is Ernest Triplett of Fullerton, CA.

nearby property or property values and constitutes an unsightly
appearance, the Planning Director stated.
9860 Howland Avenue - In addition to overgrown vegetation, there
is an inoperative motor vehicle stored for an unreasonable period
of time in the side yard area which causes depreciation of nearby
property values.
Commissioner Abraham moved to set both cases for public hearing for.
October 11, 1983, and to adopt by title only the resolutions to this
effect. Motion was seconded by Commissioner Froehle and carried.
City Attorney Martin read title to Resolutions 1084PC and. 83- 1085PC,
RESOLUTIONS OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF TEMPLE CITY

(b) Report of Minor Zoning Modification Committee
action of September 27, 1983
Mr. Shaw reported that the Minor Zoning Modification Committee, in a
meeting held September 27, 1983, had considered a request to determine
the front yard for a property at.10605 Freer Street. The Committee
determined that the property fronts easterly, . which is towards
the ingress- egress easement. Property owner is proposing a room addi-
tion and was informed that, to construct the addition in its proposed
location will require request and approval of a zone variance from the
Planning Commission. Complete action of the meeting is contained, in
the Committee's minutes on file in the Planning Department.
(c) Determination as to Legality of
a Dwelling Unit - 50672 Sereno Drive
The Planning Director stated that an application for an electrical permit
was requested by the owner of the property at 5067, 50671 and 5069 N.
Sereno Drive for separate service for 5067 and 50672. The Building Dept.
found no records of these addresses and forwarded the problem to the City .
for review and approval prior to issuance of a permit. Staff reviewed
the building records and found no permits for the initial construction.
Miscellaneous permits are on record for 5069 N. Sereno, but no permits
0 affecting the structural alteration of the structure. The 1961 aerial .
photograph shows the units as existing. An on -site inspection reveals
that the units were constructed in the late 1940's or early 1950's. An
adjacent neighbor indicated that the two units in the rear, (5.0.67 and
50672) =were constructed first and the unit in the front (5069) was con-
structed at a later date. She indicated that there had always been three
units:, on the property.
The Commissioners were in agreement that, with the facts presented by
staff, the units were legal. Commissioner Stacy made a motion to, declare"
the dwelling units at 5067, 50672 and 5069 Sereno Drive legal dwelling
units.. Motion was seconded by Commissioner Abraham and carried unanimously.
