Dear Planning Commission:

Pemstein Residence

RE: Variance for Harold Pemstein
I am begging the Commission not to make Mr. Pemstein remove any height on the
west side of his property. I bought my home on this busy corner because of the pool,
large back yard, and other amenities. This home seemed to provide enough privacy,
which is very important on a busy corner. Harold's wall covered with the extra
height, holding growing vines and bushes affords me almost complete privacy. No
one in Harold's yard can look into my patio and pool area and I cannot look into his.
Harold did lower the height on the west side at the rear of his property. This really
upset me, because I lost a lot of privacy. I can now see into the neighbor's 2nd story
windows and they can see right into my kitchen. See pictures. If he lowers all the
height, the view from my patio will be awful. See pictures.
The privacy I have on my side yard and back yard allow me to put up with the
inconvenience of living on this very busy corner. Passersby throw their trash onto
the front yard and bottles and trash into the landscaping on the Tustin side and even
over the wall into my back yard. But I get exercise cleaning up after them.
My home has already dropped in value, due to the economy and also increased
traffic, which is only going to get worse since 5 new homes are almost finished
across from the field at Kaiser on 21St Street(which is Holiday Road). They have
double garages, that is 10 cars and there will be visitors. City of Newport has not
allowed Holiday Road to have any speed reducing things.
Again 1 beg you not to make Harold lower the height on the west side.

Subject: PLANNING HEARING
Good afternoon Ms. Steffen.
After spending a fair amount of time on the "staff report" I find that the work necessary to complete my report
will take somewhat longer than I initially thought. Therefore, I am asking for a continuance of the Planning
Commission hearing scheduled for tomorrow at 4P.M.? In addition, there are a number of items in the "staff
report" that I feel I will need to address or get some clarification.
Please let me know what the proper procedure is for a continuance.
Thanks for your assistance on this urgent matter.
Sincerely, Harold Pemstein
