hearing open.
The City Clerk presented the affidavit of proof.of pub-
lication of Notice of this Hearing on.9/22/71 in the
Azusa Herald & Pomotropic, and the affidavit of posting
of said Notice on 9/24/71;.also the memo from the Plan-
ning Commission.
The Associate Planning Director addressed Council and
synopsized the contents of the memo, stating that the
applicant submitted a plot plan which showed a proposed
two -car garage attached to the rear corner of his house.
It was felt by the Planning Commission that the proposed
plan would not permit adequate access to the rear yard
for emergency crews (police, fire, rescue, etc.) and,
if accessory buildings were constructed on adjacent
property, inadequate fire separation would result. It
was also noted that, while the proposed structure com-
plies with the minimum garage requirement, the narrow
door would.,probably discourage use as a two -car garage.

John W. Kloster, 712 E.,Bagnell Street, addressed Council

the location proposed by the Associate Planning Director.
In response to the question of no access to the rear yard
from that particular side of the house for fire -fighting
'purposes, the Fire Chief noted that they could gain access
from the house behind,if necessary. He did feel that if
a doorway were made from the garage into the back yard
so that access could be made through the garage, it would
be helpful for fire -fighting purposes. No one else wishing to
appear and no further communications having been received, it was
