3. APPEALS MATTERS
A. Request to Rehabilitate Structure - 17787 West Lakeshore Drive - David
C. Hunter.
Mr. Corcoran reported that due to the 1980 flood, abatement proceedings
were initiated against the property at 17787 West Lakeshore Drive. The
owner, Steven Roth, filed an appeal which was subsequently granted by the
City Council/Appeals Board, with orders to board the structure. In November,
1981, owner was granted approval for permit issuance to rehabilitate the
structure. To date, no permit has been pulled by the owner. Abatement
procedures were initiated again in July, 1984. In August, 1984, Mr. Roth
sold the property, without notice to the City, to David C. Hunter.
The new owner would like to completely rehabilitate the structure. However,
presently, the structure is open and accessible, thereby creating and
allowing an attractive nuisance/hazard to exist and in direct violation of
orders to board. In addition, property is below the acceptable level of
12651 MSL established by FEMA. Staff recommends Council/Appeals Board
deny the appeal to rehabilitate structure and continue abatement procedures
until structure is demolished.
Mr. Kaluger, Huntington Beach, attorney representing Mr. Hunter, presented
the Board with a hearing brief and made a presentation in favor of allowing
the structure to be rehabilitated.
Council discussion followed. Mr. Vermillion asked to see the document which
contains the FEMA law regarding acceptable buildable mean sea level. (MSL)
City Engineer stated he would supply this information.
MOVED BY STRIGOTTE, SECONDED BY MATSON AND CARRIED TO DENY THE APPEAL TO
REHABILITATE THE STRUCTURE AT 17887 WEST LAKESHORE DRIVE AND CONTINUE
ABATEMENT PROCEDURES UNTIL STRUCTURE IS DEMOLISHED.
AYES: KNIGHT, MATSON, STRIGOTTE, VALENZUELA
NOES: VERMILLION
B. Request to Rehabilitate Structure at 18015 West Lakeshore Drive.
Mr. Corcoran reported that due to the 1980 flood, abatement procedures were
initiated on the property at 18015 West Lakeshore Drive in August, 1980. In
December, 1980, the Appeals Board ordered the structure boarded up. In
November, 1981, Board granted permit to rehabilitate, subject to receipt of
notarized Deed Restriction. In September, 1984, due to owners failure to
comply, City proceeded with abatement procedures. Consequently, owner filed
this appeal. For an extended period of time, there has been little or
nothing done by the property owner to alleviate the concern that the property
is a public hazard. In addition, the subject structure is below the acceptable
level of 1265' MSL established by FEMA.
