CA 91711 909 -816 -4405 cell Michael Henn, 1/19/13 I2>_ 1 223 I am a permit holder of a mooring in the 'C' section of the harbor. C -61. As the city moves forward with the new 'Residential Parking Permit Program' I find that the boat owner's in the 'C' section will be adversely impacted. I, like many of the boat owner's, have been in the harbor for over twenty years. I would venture to say that is longer than a good portion of the home Owner's who will be allowed to have parking permits in the RPPP. Last year the fee (tax) for the use of the moorings was substantially increased. What are we paying for if not for the privilege of being part of the community. As part of that community we should be allowed to join in RPPP. The boat owners in section 'C' are part of the culture in the harbor not part of the spillover from the commercial district as described on the first page of the 'BALBOA VILLAGE PARKING MANAGEMENT PLAN / FINAL REPORT' second paragraph. We are not Large employers, University, colleges, neighborhood schools, hospitals, etc. When we have our children and our grandchildren with us to spend money at the retail, tourist, or other recreational destinations we go by boat. The actual number of boats that are used regularly in this section is small. Consequently the number of parking permits requested by the boat owners will be small. Verification of a boat owner is obvious. I assume as discussed at the December meeting that a survey will be sent to the boat owners in the 'C" section to see how many permits would be involved. Also as mentioned at the December meeting the easy solution to the distribution of the survey would be to have it sent with our annual fee payment. Thank you for time in considering this matter.

Bay Avenue, Newport Beach We have just received the Balboa Overnight Residential Parking Permit Program Proposal and, we have to ask ... why? Who benefits? Why does the City of Newport Beach need to discriminate against a small group of homeowners by forcing them to buy parking permits? Why would most areas of the city still be able to park free? Why now, when there just happens to be a new city hall to pay for? Or, is it possible that the city just want residents to have an easier time parking overnight? If it's any of the first three questions, we already pay heavy taxes to live in this area which includes street parking when we need it, just like any other neighborhood in Newport Beach. To our knowledge, no other neighborhood in Newport Beach is required to pay for parking. However, most other neighborhoods in Newport Beach do not have the additional expenses that we do. Those of us who live in this district are already dealing with the costs associated with thousands of visitors descending on our neighborhood most of the year. When we have to seek extra medical care because we are flattened by a biker who can't read a "no bikes" sign, replace stolen items from our yards, repair damage to our buildings, remove dead fish from our carports and filthy diapers from our gutters, repair our cars which are nicked, scratched and vandalized, and try to sleep through raucous partygoers at all hours of the night, we do not need the City to charge us an outrageous $200 for parking rights that the rest of the city has for free. It's hard enough to plan family gatherings and juggle parking when you live in an area that attracts so many visitors. But to complicate that situation for residents by not allowing parking on the streets after 4:OOpm in the evening without a permit discriminates not only against residents, but also their families and friends who, rather than fight the parking situation, will just decide to stay home. Knowing the propensity for the government once they get their hand in your pocket to continue to rifle through it year after year with ever bigger fists, it's entirely possible that this $200 per year will morph into hundreds of dollars more as time goes on. Now, if the city is trying to make it easier for residents to park, and paid parking permits will be required in this one neighborhood on the Balboa Peninsula, they should also be required in all other neighborhoods in Newport Beach ..... on the rest of the Balboa Peninsula, Corona del Mar, Balboa Island, Little Island, Lido Island, Newport Island, Newport Shores and Newport Coast. The permit should have a maximum token dollar amount yearly — perhaps $20 for up to five permits, not $200!! !! — and that amount should be limited to that specific amount for a designated period of time, say 10 years. Only a token percentage increase —say 1/2 of 1% -- should be allowed every ten years. Any person who hates discrimination of any kind should vigorously object to the City of Newport Beach and the Coastal Commission about this program as the proposal stands now. CC: ORANGE COUNTY REGISTER To: The City Council of Newport Beach Re: The Proposed Residential Permit Parking District My name is Howard Hall. I am a longtime Balboa resident and property owner. I have come here again tonight to ask that the proposed residential parking permit district not be passed with the current stated boundaries. They were never part of the original proposal and should not be part of the final proposal. Extending the parking district ten blocks beyond Adams Street is a completely arbitrary decision. It makes no more sense to have the ending boundary at 7th Street, then it would to go to 10th or even 15th Street. Overnight residential parking this far from the downtown area is NOT affected by visitors going to bars, restaurants or the Nautical Museum. If anyone has ever come to take a look at the cars parked on Balboa Blvd. where we live, for example, they would clearly see that night after night the same vehicles, belonging to residents are in place. We do not need a residential parking permit system that extends beyond Medina Way, where residents most certainly are affected by visitor parking. We do not want an overly large residential parking permit system that extends to 7th Street. The Central Newport Beach Community Association has not favored such a parking permit system either. A number of my neighbors have also contacted council and committee members in the past expressing a similar viewpoint. We ask that you please listen to your constituents and amend the proposed boundaries to the residential parking permit district. Thank you. Submitted by Howard and Kathleen Hall January 22, 2013
