<br />On motion of Commissioner Lozano, eeconded by Commissioner Johnston, the minutes of

<br />Chairman Landon opened the public hearing on the application of Mra. Cheater Roeai,
<br />9838 MacArthur Blvd., Oakland, for a Variance from the requirements of Ord. No. 309,
<br />in order to construct multiple dwelling unite with a reduced site width, rear yard,
<br />aide yard and driveway, aC 492 St. John St., in an RG-15 District, which had been
<br />continued from the meetings of April 28, May 12 and May 26. Mr. Campbell stated he
<br />had been informed that Mr. Struthers had received a telephone call from the ap-
<br />plicant's attorney, Mr. Eric Schnurmacher, and with the applicant's consent it is
<br />requested that the public hearing on this matter be continued to the meeting of
<br />Julq 14, 1965. This continuance applies also to the Zoning Permit application for
<br />the subject property listed later on the agenda. it was moved by Chairman Landon,
<br />eeconded by Commissioner Lozano, and carried, that the public hearing on the Varianc®
<br />application and the Zoning Permit application of Mrs. Cheater Rossi be continued to
<br />the meeting of July 14, 1965.
<br />Chairman Landon opened the public hearings on the next two items on the agenda at
<br />the same time, since they are related, namely, the applications of Ted Kuhlkin,
<br />20928 Redwood Road, Castro Valley, for a Conditional Uae Permit in order to .operate
<br />an existing mobile hems park ae a conforming use, located at 777, 779 and 785 Roee
<br />Avenue, in an RG-15 District; and also a Variance application by the same applicant
<br />from Section 17.404, Ord. No. 309, in order to expend an existing mobile home park
<br />with a reduced site area, reduced recreational area, reduced rear-yard setback and
<br />increased unit density at the above address. Mr. Campbell, in giving the staff
<br />report, gave some of the background on the trailer park, dating before 1960 up to
<br />1963, at which latter time the moat recent action by the Planning Commission was
<br />denial of application by Mr. Kuhlkin for 25 epacee in the subject trailer park.
<br />Since the subject property has residential unite as well ae trailers, there hoe
<br />been some confusion attached to the allowablg number of unite since it would fall
<br />under the RG-15 d~noity requirements rather than those fox a trailer court. The
<br />staff believes, in the absence of an accurate drawing, that there are 18 existing
<br />troller spaces and shout S other dwelling unite now on the property. The owner
<br />proposes to demolish several aubaeandard buildings on the site. The staff feels
<br />that the variances requested may be reasonable, and upgrading of the property would
<br />be an improvement, however, the staff would like more information from the applicant
<br />on the existing facilities in order Chat the number of dwelling unite can be fixed,
<br />and sufficient information is not available in order for the staff to recommend a
<br />detailed set of conditions to be applied to the Conditional Uae Permit at this time.
<br />Mr. Ted Kuhlkin was present in the audience and explained he understands that a
<br />3 ft. rear yard ie required under the old State Code. The State has recommended
<br />rewiring, and Mr. Y.uhlkin said he is now obtaining bide on the electrical work. He
<br />said he is removing two unite plus a trailer space, and proposes to move two trailer
<br />epacee to where the existing dwelling units are located. Therefore, there will be
<br />an increase from 18 to 19 trailer epacee, pluo 5 dwelling unite. After coneidera-
