Unanimous <br />vote. <br />RESOLUTION NO. R-64-87 - A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY <br />OF COLTON AMENDING RESOLUTION NO. R-60-87. <br />Appeals <br />Index No. V-3-87 <br />Mayor Gonzales declared the Public Hearing open. <br />City Clerk Ramos submitted the Affidavit of Publication and reported <br />the no protests or objections had been received. <br />Community Development Director Aguilera reported on an Appeal filed by <br />Lincoln Jewelers, Michael Schon, on denial of a Variance, Index No. <br />V-3-87. Mr. Aguilera advised the Planning Commission considered the <br />Variance application at a public hearing held May 12, 1987, at which <br />time no one spoke in favor of or against the matter, and the applicant <br />failed to appear at the hearing. <br />Mr. Aguilera continued the Planning Commission discussed the issue and <br />concluded that an existing tree, in front of the store and proposed <br />sign, was there prior to the tenant taking occupancy and that removal <br />of the tree was not in the best interest of the community. The Planning <br />Commission did not mind allowing the Variance, but felt if the tree was <br />not removed, the Variance issue was moot. Mr. Aguilera said seeing no <br />way to compromise and not being able to discuss the issue with the ap- <br />plicant, the Commission denied the request for a Variance. <br />Mr. Aguilera concluded if the Council agrees with the Planning Commis- <br />sion recommendation, a motion to deny the Appeal would be in order. <br />Mayor Gonzales asked if anyone present desired to speak on this matter. <br />Mr. Michael Schon, owner of Lincoln Jewelers, stated he had not been <br />notified about the Planning Commission hearing, otherwise he would have <br />attended the meeting. Mr. Schon said he has operated Lincoln Jewelers <br />in Colton for over 27 years. Mr. Schon stated he is requesting that a <br />sign be put up advertising the business, however, there is a very old, <br />unsightly tree at that location that leans over on the facia. Mr. Schon <br />said he would like to have the tree removed, and he would plant an <br />attractive bush in its place, and also have a professional gardner <br />maintain the bush. <br />3 <br />
