AGENDA I~1S (Continued)
Speaking Against the Project:
Rosie Garcia
270 Conmur St
Carlos Garcia
260 Conmur St
Applicant explained to the Commission his need to have a caretaker on the property.
The residence currently on the property is proposed to house the caretaker.
Mr. Wittwer advised the Corrmission that a demolition permit had been issued for
the existing dwelling unit.
Ms. Garcia stated that: her home was in back of the property; there was excessive
noise on the property; a fence had been erected about 5' away from her fence and
that there were weeds and debris between the fences; and at times there were
more than 50 cars at the Mosque. She showed pictures to the Corrmission. She
commented that the house had been moved and that there were trenches and sewer
lines dug.
Mr. Garcia reiterated Ms. Garcia's remarks. He questioned why the house had been
moved and trenches dug with no approvals.
The general concensus of the:Comnission was that the applicant had not conformed
with the previously approved Use Permit on this project. Commissioner Getz
suggested that perhaps a caretaker's unit could be made a part of the approved
Mosque building. Chairman Martin requested that Staff make a field inspection
to see if violations had occurred and, if so, a "Stop Work" notice should be
posted. He requested that Staff report back to the Corrmission at the next meeting.
The Corrmission adVised the applicant that the retention of the residential structure
on the site was not acceptable and that modification of the main Mosque building
was the only possible alternative.

9, 1982 for redesign. Unanimously approved.

of building height.

several issues needed to be addressed. The next step is to allow the applicant
the opportunity to address the environmental issues. By the September meeting

the outside of the building is used for storage. Mr. Gorny replied in the affirmative.
Vice-Chairman Hoyer commented that since there were two parking lots on Miller

rather than residential. This will be discussed at the General Plan Hearing
on August 26, 1982.
