Re: 1113 Kings Road Height Variation Request PORT 19010
To:Jaime Murillo
I am writing to you in response to the height variation request submitted for the property located at
1113 Kings Road, Newport Beach, California 92663.As a resident of Kings Road, I would like to express
my opposition to this request.The height limit exists to prevent the entire cliff side of the street from
obstructing the ocean view of those located on the opposite side of the street. For granting the
homeowner's permission to exceed the allowed height limit would establish a new standard.This new
standard is problematic for a couple reasons: current and future residents with similar wishes will expect
the same treatment, and the controversial nature surrounding this matter will likely lead to hostility
among neighbors.
As one of the largest lots on the street,the 18,000 square feet of land should be utilized to build in
other directions other than upward. Please accept this letter as an official statement of my opposition to
the height variation request submitted for the property located at 1113 Kings Road, Newport Beach.
Sincerely,
Michael Alexander
