DEVELOPMLNT CJfi 9�' 'Vewpog" RE; Davis Lot Merger - Location: 106 6a` Street and 524 West Oceanfront Project File No. PA 2013 -176 Activity No LM2013 -003 This letter is written to express my concerns that the City ensure that this project requires a setback if these two parcels are combined. Specifically, the alley -way access behind 6a` Street is significantly impaired due existing structure at the property line. This parcel is the only one that currently has this issue as new construction in this area over the years has required the set back. As currently situated, the lot construction at the property line significantly impairs local resident traffic. The existence of this one lot having construction at the property line (i) impairs adequate traffic access, (ii) requires that the garbage truck must back up twice to collect the refuge on Balboa Boulevard and e street, and (iii) often requires automobile traffic to take two attempts at making the turn due to the tight turning area imposed by the existing lot -line construction at 6a' street. This situation does present an unsafe condition that could be ameliorated simply by requiring the set back on the lone 6tb street property. 1 would appreciate your mailing me staff report on this issue when available.

There should be a set back from the alley if these two parcels are combined. This is a dangerous situation. Also, most cars and emergency vehicles have to back up and straighten out to transverse the turn in the alley. The trash truck cannot make turn and has to back all the way out of alley to the island and then go in off of Balboa Blvd. to pick up trash at 106 6th Street. I will be out of town on October 24, 2013 and would like you to email me staff report prior to hearing.
