Hi Patrick:
Hope you and your family are enjoying the holidays. As you may know, I have had periodic
health problems related to a recent heart attack. As such, our family made the difficult
decision to sell Sejour. Two very nice couples, originally from Europe, have purchased
Sejour and the sale is slated to close December 31st.
I recently received your letter. Given the sale, we felt it best for the new buyers to
address amendments, if any, they would seek for the Use Permit. In contrast with our
situation, the new buyers have received copies the Use Permit and all conditions. You will
be receiving a letter from the new owners at closing (as required in the Permit) that they
will adopt and abide by the conditions until such time as an amendment, if appropriate,
can be sought. Incidentally the new owners like Sejour, as is, and would like to add an
Art Gallery as part of the operation. This would be a nice addition to enhance the
cultural appeal of the Cannery Village area.
We have continued to operate Sejour in substantial compliance with the Use Permits since
our last correspondence to you and the new owners plan to do the same. Our biggest
challenge simply relates to being able to integrate the full space, which I believe could
be addressed in an amendment. We still have to police the occasional patron who tries to
take a drink outside to smoke or to the Men's restroom which is located in the retail
portion of the space.
Given the fact that our operation of Sejour will become irrelevant in a few weeks, I was
wondering whether it would be best to have the new owners address the issues raised in
your letter with a new slate?
Thank you for your consideration. Best of luck in your future. I have appreciated all your
help, as I have appreciated the City's support and cooperation with us.
Sincerely,
Arthur Stockton
