RE: Written Response Concerning Subject Property Use
To Whom it May Concern:
The property located at 200 -30th Street has been approved and
used as a Commercial Business site for approximately Sixty (60) years.
Harold Thompson owned and operated a small corner market until a
new super market was opened across the street from his small business.
Initially, I leased the property from Mr. Thompson for a small
coin - operated laundry, which has been in business for approximately
Forty Five years, with City of Newport Beach approvals and a Business
Licenses renewed annually.
During the prior Planning Department hearing and subsequent City
Council Hearing regarding a Zoning question, a City Councilman mentioned
that the City had made a mistake by including the subject property
and placing the Zoning question on the Councils' Agenda for Public
Hearing purposes.
The Coin Laundry produces a substantial amount of my income
which I have relied on for many years and its closure would create
a substantial hardship on both me and my family.
Approximately Ninety Five (950) percent of Coin - Operated Laundries are
no longer doing business in the City of Newport Beach due to an 1,800%
percent increase in Sewer Fees added to Property Tax Bills by the
Orange County Sanitation District.
I will not be able to appear at the Hearing on Tuesday, April
9, 2013, at 7 :00 p.m. due to a back injury.
V y truly yours,
Pete Fenton
