Planning Commission Minutes Page 5
February 14, 1989
Mr. Chen stated that the applicant has read all the
conditions and agrees with them. He also stated that
the garages have doors on them and the guest parking is
open.
Chairman Seibert asked if there was some reason why a
sign could not be put on the front wall.
Director Dawson stated that a sign would be placed on
the front wall and would be a condition on the resolu-
tion if the Commission approves the project.
Commissioner Griffiths asked about traffic in the area.
Senior Saldana stated that the plans were reviewed by
the Traffic Engineer and he found no complications.
• There being no one else to speak, Commissioner Coolman
moved to closed the public hearing, seconded by Commis-
sioner Budds.
Commissioner Coolman had no problem with the project and
would approve it with the additional condition regarding
guest parking.
Commissioners Budds and Griffiths agreed that the pro-
ject was acceptable.
Chairman Seibert asked Mr. Chen if he had any problems
with the new condition.
Mr. Chen stated he did not.
Commissioner Coolman moved to approve Conditional Use
Permit 88 -963 and Tentative Tract Map 47106 with the
additional condition of a "guest parking" sign seen from
the street, seconded by Commissioner Budds.
7. COMMUNICATIONS:
None
8. TIME FOR THOSE IN THE AUDIENCE WHO WISH TO SPEAK:
Greg Mike of Beaver Builders, 901 S. Glendora, West Covina,
did not understand the problem with the side yard setback
proposed for the project at 10517 Key West (Zone Variance
89 -974).
Chairman Seibert informed Mr. Mike that the project was
denied because the project did not meet the side yard set-
back. Also that the applicant may appeal the decision to the
City Council within the 10 -day appeal period.
