Octtober 1 O, 2003 <br /> <br />I1is¢0fie Resourcns Con!mission <br /> .~> of Santa <br />Public llearir~g august 7, 2003 <br /> <br />DELIVERED <br /> <br />Dear Chairamri & Commissioners, <br /> <br />We receiver todaY., a letter informinc,o about 5'o n' deeNi,m at the hearJog oil October 2, 03 to list om' house as a <br />historical strne£tlre, despite our request of October 2 for deferral ai~d conGmanee. <br /> <br />~1 ~s is ¢: fen iai ~,pic.,al m d~ abeve decision because of the fbi/owing reasons: <br /> <br /> of the first floor. Despite rnultiple repairs aud extensive efforts, the problem continues to progressivcly <br /> infiltrate the structure. We have presented testimony at the August 7~' hearing, with pictures and <br /> ebronology of repairs ewer the last 15 years of owinershJp. <br />2. We have been visited by Ms. Melanic McCauu with a roofing consultant specializing in fiat roofs, <br /> however his bid of $25,000 offered oaly a 5-year warrmrty. This does not appear satisfactory solution. <br />3. Subsequent to the August 7a' heariag, 2 members of the commission offered their assistance, and <br /> personally examined our problem areas. They promised to identlf) contractors with the necessary <br /> expertise. We are still waiting for the referral. <br />4. We filed for a new roof ill April, well before the proposed classification, yet were denied, repo~edly <br /> because of staff intention. <br /> <br />We are willing to accept a reasonable roofing bid to attempt to preserve the fiat roof integral to present style. <br />However until we feel reassnred w/th a sturdy roof, we need to reserve tile right to consider any solution which <br />wilt save the structme. To force ant famiIy to live in anxiety and discom~bix is the greatest violation ofonr <br />righ-ts. Moreover if we cannot proceed with the repairs which will save the structure, the house ultimately will <br />crnmbte away. With the historical laudmark classificatiou, does the city itwcst in repaMng tile building? Or is it <br />still tile responsibility of the owner? <br /> <br />Your consideration of the above is respectfully requested. Should you maiatain your decision in the absence of <br />satisfactory poteutial solution to our current problems, we would have to recourse to any available means to <br />protect our property and personal rights, including a legal challenge. <br /> <br />Sincerely, <br /> <br />Chou & Quynh Kieu <br />Homeowners of 2221 North Ile!iotrope drive, Santa Aha, CA 92706 <br />(714)641-0850 <br /> <br />75.A. <br /> <br />EXHIBIT 1 <br /> <br />Page 64 <br /> <br /> <br />
