429 Suggestion made that letters of appreciation be sent, on behalf of Council, to all Departments implicated in weekend emergency. Councilman Henderson felt Mr. Adamson and Mr. Jenks should also be included to denote Council's appreciation for their interest and cooperation in the weekend emergency. (Memo 1/24/67) Application of U. G. Quandt for exception to Section 30.63, Redwood City Code, to allow two lots with depths of 85' where a 90' depth is required, and one lot with an area of 4,675 sq. ft. where an area of 6,000 sq. ft. is required, and to subdivide into two parcels, lots 18 and 19, Block 11, Central Park #1, at 406 Iris Street, presented for consideration. Staff report stated Planning Commission at their meeting of January 10, 1967, recommended that the Council grant the exception as modified and with the added condition that the Commission would not be in favor of granting any further variances in the setbacks on Parcel B. Planning Commission report read in which modification was recommended, adjusting Parcel A to 6,000 sq. ft. and Parcel B to 5,052 sq. ft. Staff analysis stated original lot, Lot 18 had been combined with an adjoining lot producing present sized lot 85' x 130.02 of 11,052 sq. ft., which applicant was desirous of subdividing. Staff report further stated similar resubdivisions had been granted in the area and although one lot would be less than the 6,000 sq. ft. the shallow depth would be compensated for, by a width greater than the 50' standard which would provide a good building site. Staff report also stated a condition had also been added, if exception approved, and overlooked by Plan- ning Commission, for a new sewer lateral and water service to be provided for Parcel B from James Avenue facilities. Councilman Rosselli asked how granting this exception would affect the neigh- borhood. Planning Director confirmed statement that this was a similar instance of resubdivision which had been approved in the area for unusual large lots resulting from previous combining of smaller ones. Paul Tessendorff questioned reason this had not been set for a public hearing. Planning Director advised public hearing was not necessary for exceptions. Coun- cilman Keckley clarified questions by Mr. Tessendorff and indicating he approved action recommended by Planning Commission. Councilman Petersen moved to adopt RESOLUTION N0, 5253 GRANTING EXCEPTIONS TO PROVISIONS OF CHAPTER 30 OF THE CODE OF THE CITY OF REDWOOD CITY, BEING THE SUB- DIVISION REGULATIONS OF THE CITY OF REDWOOD CITY, AND APPROVING A SUBDIVISION THEREUNDER - U.G. QUANDT, seconded by Councilman Bury and carried on roll call vote.
