Jennifer Hosterman Mayor n~f Pleasanton City Ha°Il 200 OIG: Bernal Avenue P.O. Bex 520 Pleasanton, CA 94566 Request for Enforcement Dear M 3yor Hosterman: OFC: (925) 225-4000 FAX: (925) 225-1090 July 10, 2007 As we discussed earlier this week, one of our properties in Downtown Pleasanton has been substantially burdened by the construction of a wall by one of our adjoining property owners. The wall in question is located behind :Flap's Restaurant and was constructed without the proper City approval process and without any prior discussion with the surrounding property owners. The exi~:tence of the wall has created numerous health and safety issues as well as obstacles to the functionality ofthe surrounding neighborhood. Specifically, the wall seriously compromises the ability of restaurant patrons to exit I~[ap's Restaurant in the event of an emergency and also restricts emergency workers free access to our property. The wall has also functionally eliminated the only handicapped parking space servicing our property and has~~severely limited our ability to remove garbage from the restaurant using the best sanitary practices. The wall was constructed on a Saturday last June and we have patiently attempted to resolve these issues with the adjoining property owner for over a year. Unfortunately, our efforts to find a workable solution have failed and we --rust seek official action to have this wall removed immediately. We appreciate your earlier assistance in attempting to help find a compromise to this situation, but our tenants who operate Hap's Restaurant have officiall~v notified us that the current condition of the property is a safety issue, is an alteration of the property and thermfore their lease that they never agreed to, and is unacceptable for the continuation of their business using best practices. As a result, we are formally requesting the City of Pleasanton take enforcement action to remove ~U:he wall and return the condition of the property to the condition prior to any non-approved construction work. Thank y;~u in advance for all your efforts in assisting us with this matter. Sincerel~;i, Q~~~~~~^ ~. UU Michael•?Ma den ~~~ ~ 2 2007 Presiders!
