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.
Dan
