The chairman read a letter of protest submitted by four property owners living within the adjacent area. Jaun Estrada, representing the property owners, stated that the reduction in parking spaces would necessitate parking on Aldrich Street, thus creating a traffic hazard since the streets are narrow and without sidewalks. It was noted by the Board that since this business will be fronting Edinger Avenue, there will be a complete separation from the lots on Aldrich Avenue. John Mandrell also pointed out that there will be no access provided from Aldrich St. to the business premises. Mr. Barmakian, the applicant, explained the reasons for their request. He stated that there is 2,000 sq. ft. of the store devoted to retail sales, the remainder of which is devoted to storage and servicing of motor vehicles. Mrs. Noami Bales also spoke against the request explaining that another business fronting on Beach Boulevard presented a parking problem on Aldtich Street. She Stated that it would be best to have ample parking to prevent this from happening again. Mr. Barmakian explained that there are 10 extra parking spaces inside the building and 5 on the outside, in addition to what was stated on the request.
