Beach will hold public hearings on staff proposed chang2 of Section 231 02E1 of the Off-Street Parking & Loading Provisions Under the proposed changes Recreational Vehicles and Boats will be prohibited from being parked "in front of or street side setback including driveway" If these provisions are enacted into law, then all RV' s and boats will have to be stored at additional expense to their respective owners Additionally, if the vehicles are stored, they would not be in a position of render emergency aid, as was the case in the recent Northridge earthquakes, when RV's were used as temporary shelter, communication centers, as well as sources of food, water and other supplies Finally, at issue is whether or not you want government involvement in telling you what you may or may not park on your own personal property Please plan to attend the Council meeting at 7 00 pm on August 15, 1994 By the placement of my signature, I certify that I am a registered voter residing in the City of Huntington Beach and I am opposed to the proposal pending before the City Council that would prohibit RV's and/or boats from being parked in the driveways or side yards of private residences

Huntington Beach, Ca. ;ITi 4 Jr1 06 4( CITY CO y OFFiCE Subject: Possible Further Restrictions Relative to Parking Recreational Vehicles Gentlemen/Ladies, I just learned only last week through a neighbor, that this body was considering prohibiting the parking of recreational vehicles on citizens (owners) residential property. It is the purpose of this letter to advise you that I strongly object to this Dossibility. First off, my wife and I , both retired, moved to and bought our home in huntington Beach in 1971, approximately 23 years ago. Lven at that time we had a small camping trailer, since worn out and replaced by a new trailer some three years ago In all this time, see attached picture, we have never had any negative comment from anyone in the neighborhood objecting to our narking same in front of our home. To the contrary, comments we have received have been Dostive (what a nice trailer, are you enjoying it, etc. etc, may we see inside9 , we are considering buying one for ourselves, etc. ) During our working years, we worked hard in order to have our nice home, automobile, trailer and in anticipation of later when we hoped to enjoy same. de now live on a fixed and relatively modest income and when something like this comes along, it is not un-noticed. It would cost us $600-."800 Der year to park this vehicle elsewhere and would be very inconvenient and would do nothing for the city Je need these kinds of moneys for medical, dental oills, insurance, taxes, etc etc. Trere are thousands of recreational vehicles being parked in the sane relative fashion. If you were to force storage elsewhere, where is elsewhere9 Storage facilities would not oe available. Do you want more storage facilities built9 If so, Ihere7 I would also remind you that these type facilities don't help the environment at all. Despite the cost/inconvenience problems pointed out above, we also use the venicle as an emergency shelter should this to required. As you know huntington Beach is on an earthquake fault area and as citizens we are supposed to stoc'z provisions should a qualre occur. 4e use our trailer for this purpose since it is self-contained (water, gas, shelter, and sewage Drovisiors) vnich would carry us over for a short period while city facilities are being organized and provided. As mentioned rrior in this letter, we are elderly people, ( 74 and 67) and we must elan ahead for such emergencies, if we intend to survive Tb ,� In closing, we implore you to not do anything that would uoset the status quo as it now exists. Above all , do not restrict the narking of recreational vehicles on owner/residence' s Dronerty. fiery truly yours, Robert and Fern Dittmer 16332 Redlands Lane Huntington Beach, Ca. 92647 ( 714) 842-5927 r•- . _ .� _ � � .. .� , �_ � 4 !. �\ � ', Y � #��- - � � •. �. r �� -. - _> � - .. - -. .. ___.- .,.
