Thanks, Scott From: Larry Szatkowski <piszat@msn.com> To: Hess, Scott Sent: Mon Mar 01 00:40:53 2010 Subject : Dance Studio Permit at 9322 Mokihana Scott, Page 1 of 1 My neighbor at 9322 Mokihana has applied for a permit to operate a dance instruction in their home. This activity has already been going on for more than a year. Despite their application for a dance instruction permit, they did not indicate that they teach TAP DANCING in their home. They have installed a raised wood dance floor in the Family Room, with a large door wall that opens directly into the back of our home. Their loud music and incessant tap dancing has made it impossible for us to use our patio or keep our door wall open all last summer. Scott, I am the construction manager for the recent Seismic Upgrade at City Hall. Can you imagine having that recent pounding going on all day, every day, outside your home. Please do not grant a tap dance instruction permit to 9322 Mokihana. Thank you.

City Of Huntington Beach Planning Department 2000 Main St: Huntington Beach, Cal. Re; Proposed Dance Studio at 91 Mokihana Dr. Huntington Beach , Cal 92646 Hernandez Studio Productions / Tony & Christy Hernandez To whom it may concern. I am stron 1 o osed to an zonin chan e that would allow a dance studio to o erate in a residential nei hborhood. Please consider the following when making your decision D My home backs up to the Hernandez property on the S/W corner of the rear of their property. For quite some time I have been tolerating the noise from their home from tap dancing and very loud music. I was under the impression that it was a hobby or something of that nature. On several occasions I have had to call out over the fence to keep the noise down and ask for the tap dancing to stop. The general proximity of my home to their studio is such that my family room, office and master bedroom are at the rear of my property therefore very close to where the noise comes from. In many cases in the past I have been unable to leave the doors and windows open during their sessions due to the intense noise created by several people tap dancing at the same time not to mention the drone of the music that accompanies the dancing. With my office door open I am unable to carry on a phone conversation when they are in session. I have been unable at times to enjoy the rear patio area of my home as well. On one occasion I was woken from a deep sleep at 8:00 AM on a Saturday morning due to several people tap dancing at the same time in their studio. As you must understand a legal or licensed dance studio in a residential neighborhood will cause a noise nuisance to many of the surrounding properties. As a landowner I am entitled to the covenant of Quiet Enjoyment, which is the right to the use of my premises in peace and quiet without interference. Disturbance of quiet enjoyment by another can be a nuisance for which a lawsuit can be brought to halt the interference. Additionally as a Realtor I know that any noise nuisance must be disclosed to a potential buyer of my property and could adversely affect the value of my property. Sincerely • OnHEHRD February 22, 2010 Notice to sto TAP Dancin Studio at 9322 Mokihana Dr. FEB 2 3 2010 Huntington Beach PLANNING DEPT. My husband and I (Larry and Pat Szatkowski) are responding to the lett er dated 2/18/10 by Tony and Christy Hernandez who are planning a dance studio in their home. They currently have plans with the Planning Department of Huntington Beach. We live directly behind the Hernandez's at 9321 Hudson Dr., Huntington Beach. We have been residents of Huntington Beach over 27 years. We love our home and the neighborhood because of the peace and quiet. The Hernandez's have been using their home as a dance studio doing Tap dancing and Hip Hop for the ast ear and half. The back of our house to their family room is approximately 50 ft. The noise from the music and the TAP dancing is very loud and it vibrates though our home. We have closed our doors and windows but we still hear the noise through our home. We can no longer sit outside and enjoy our backyard because the loud TAPPING and MUSIC. This past summer I was home and I was not able to keep my windows and doors open because of the constant noise. I had to stay indoors because of their business activities. THIS IS WHERE WE DRAW THE LINE. This business should not be in a residential neighborhood. All the neighbors around us have complained about the noise. You will be hearing from them. A business of this kind is not compatible with the peace and quiet we are entitled to in our neighborhood. If we were to put our house up for sale, we would be required to disclose this non- conforming activity to any prospective buyers. This would surely affect the value and salability of our property. Please, do not allow this TAP dancing studio to happen. You have long standing citizens of Huntington Beach who have been in their homes for over 30 years. Don't let this happen to our neighborhood. Please deny their request. Sincerely, C:41Z_t_f Lawrence Szatkowski d Patricia Szatkowski f 9321 Hudson Drive Huntington Beach, CA 92646 2/20/2010 To whom it may concern. We strongly oppose the dance studio at 9322 Mokihana Drive. There have been both parking and noise issues. What started out being a single dance class has grown to multiple classes on multiple days. There have been as many as six to eight students and teacher tap dancing. The noise level is both excessive and annoying. The dance studio is located adjacent to both my family room and my master bedroom. They are now teaching three hours of tap starting at 8:00 A.M . Saturday mornings. I have enjoyed living in this wonderfully quiet neighborhood until recently. I feel that their pattern of adding students and classes this situation will only get worse. I have been unable to park in front of my house because my neighbor and their tenant have occupied the parking in order to keep the parking in front of their house for their customers. Recently I parked in front of their house and was verbally and physically attacked. The mothers that pick up their children double park, park on the sidewalk, park blocking my driveway, and have even parked in my driveway. The children waiting to he picked up or dropped off early are unsupervised. They climb on my walls, throw things over the walls, chase my cats. These behaviors go unchallenged. I think that this type of business is better suited to a business area where parking and noise do not affect the quality of life we come to expect in our homes. I ask the board to please deny their proposal and return to us the quiet neighborhood we've enjoyed for many years.
