Hubbard Noes, Councilmen Bob Brewer Absent, Councilmen A.A. Hall Appeal Application No. 35 of Edward A. Cline was presented on Variance Application No. 1516 filed by Nolan S. and Dorothy CoOper, to erect four detached single-family dwellingSon property located 150 feet east of the northeast corner of Hazard Avenue and Bewley Street, in the R-2 District, wherein Appellant requests denial of the Variance. The App~!l~. objected to the grantf~ of the Variance as the lot does not comply with the minimum requirements set forth in the Building Code and would establish a precedent for $m~1 l rental units in the area; there are two houses on the east and two houses on the west of the property and the residents desire to re- rain the property as it is now. Mr. Cline further stated there was no objection to two residences on the lot, such residences to be placed in line with other houses in the block. Mr. J. A. Anakin, 291 Santa Aha Avenue, Long Beach, favored the recommendation of the Planning C~mission and stated there are multiple dwellings, duplexes and a seven-unit building in the area. The property in question is approx~ fmately 97' x 120' and the fo~kr detached single-family dwellings would enhance the value of the property. On motion of CounciLman Heinly, seconded by Brewer and carried, Appeal Application No. 35 of Edward A. Cline was denied and Variance Appli- cation No. 1516 filed by Nolan S. and Dorothy Cooper was granted, subject to con- ditions, for the reason t~ A~pellant had no legal grounds for appeal. Appeal Application No. 36 of Elsa Reuter Armstrong was presented on Variance Appli- cation No. 1527 filed by Ernest A. Reuter (Reuter-Reason Buick) to establish a new and used car retail sales 'and accessory garage repair activities on property at the northeast corner of Fruit Street and Grand Avenue, in the R-B District, wherein Appellant appeals the decision of the Planning Commission. Attorney W. ~,mner Holbrook, Jr., 458 South Spring Street, Los Angeles, on behalf of the Appellant pre- sented protest letters from Mrs. Elsa Reuter Armstrong, 902 North Grand Avenue, Wesley J. Morgan, 724 North Grand Avenue, R. R. Burnette, 742 Grand Avenue, John L. Gillespie, 734 North Grand Avenue, Marcia E. Garrett, 1345 East Fruit Street, and Terrence L. Pangham, 1345 East Fruit Street, and on motion of Councilman Heinly, seconded by Brewer and carried, the communications were received and filed. Attorney Holbrook stated the Variance Application was requested to allow for the construction and operation of a new car sales business and in the original application there was no reference to the used car sales and mechanical repair business. Attorney HolbroOk further stated the Planning staff recommended approval for the reason that Grand Avenue should properly be developed to "P" and C-5 land uses, none of which are eon- templated for the use of the applicant. Immediately back of subject property, to the east, on Fruit Street there are 178 apartment, units housing approximately people; on the other side of Grand Avenue, on Stafford Street, there are 46 Map of Tract No. 4226 Mark~ndrews family units housing approximately 115 individuals. This property development, under the Variance, would bring a development of used car lots within 10 feet of swimming pools maintained by these houses. These apartments rent from $75.00 to $100.00 per month and beyond the end of Fruit Street there are approximately 250 people living in homes ranging in prices from $22,000.00 to $24,000.00, and at this time, Grand Avenue has not been injured by a nuisance type of business. Attorney Holbrook introduced William M. Thorpe, Zoning Expert, 458 South Spring Street, Los Angeles, and Mr. Thorpe stated the use which has been suggested appears to be an attempt to depreciate the diatrict and other used car agencies will eventually locatein the area and benefit by the advertising of the new car agency. If this Variance Application is granted Grand Avenue will become another First Street in appearance and the lights from the used car lot will be objectionable to the neighboring apartments and residences. Photographs were submitted showing used car lots on First Street and various views of apartments on Fruit Street within one block of Grand Avenue, and the Vice-Mayor requested that such photographs be markedl as Appellant's Exhibits "A", "B", "C", "D", "E", "F" and "G'. Mr. Chrysler, representing Ernest A. Reuter, sta~ed they worked veryclosely with the Planning Department when the Variance Application was submitted and was agreeable to the conditions as imposed and the C-5 Zoning relating to signs. Mr. Rex Reason, 268 Morning Canyon Road, Corona Del Mar, stated the present project was proposed at the property in question because it was the most desirable location he had found for an automobile sales and service agency; the automobiles on this lot will be against the Freeway and this will be one of the best car agencies in the area, and the accessory repair shop was relocated as suggested by the Planning Department. Dean Evans, Zoning Administrator, was questioned by Attorney Holbrook, as to when and where the reference'to the used car sales and mechanical repair shop was added to the Application and Mr. Evans stated this was done, in the Planning Department, when the Application was filed. Mrs. Elsa Reuter Armstrong, 902 North Grand Avenue, state~ she ~wns several parcels of property on Grand Avenue, and protested the granting of the Variance as it would depreciate property values, Grand Avenue will become another First Street in appearance; the flags displayed on the property would be objectionable and this property warrants better development. Mr. Thomas Wolfe, and Lloyd Groover, Jr., o~ners of properties in the area, stated they were in favor of the Variance providing certain restrictions were imposed such as controlling thel lights and that no flags be displayed. The Council having unanfmously w~ived the reading of the Resolution, on motion of Councilman Heinly, seconded by Brewer and carried, the following Resolution entitled: "Resolution No. 61-210 denying appeal application No. 36 filed by Elsa Reuter Armstrong from Variance Application No. 1527 filed by E.

Mr. Wilbvr Hartman, 1001 Grovemont Street, stated the Committee did not recommend all sch$~l~ have libraries but was in favor of libraries being placed in six schools. Mr. James Logren, 141~ South Pacific Avenue, stated he was not in favor of libraries in each school and the small auxiliary units are for the primary benefit of the school children. It was moved by Councilman Brewer that the Wilson and Hoover library stations be operated three days a week until such tfme as the funds authorized can be better used at some other cooperative library facility.
