Hulet (djhulet@ymail.com) Subject:Improper Work Site Conditions Ron, As you know, your workers are doing demolition work. What you may not know is that the workers are extremely carless and debris is falling into our yard and our pool. The workers need to put up a tarp on the scaffolding to keep the debris contained within the scaffolding and your yard. That is normal and expected. I trust you will take immediate action to contact the crew/foreman to make this happen. Also, because your workers were parked in the cul de sac fire Lane, the trash truck was unable to navigate the street properly and had to go over the island curb to pick up the trash. Please make sure that they do not to park in the cul de sac. Thank you! haynesboone Bart Greenberg Partner bart.greenberg@haynesboone.com Haynes and Boone, LLP 600 Anton Blvd. Suite 700 Costa Mesa, CA 92626 (t) 949.202.3037 (f) 949.202.3137 (m) 949.887.0967 vCard | Bio | Website Hearing Officer - June 1, 2023 Item No. 1a Additional Materials Received Three-Year Construction Limit Extension 6 Via Cristallo X2013-2927 1 From: Bart Greenberg <bart@pivotallawfirm.com> Sent: May 23, 2023 7:02 PM To: Thai, Tonee <tthai@newportbeachca.gov> Cc: Schank, Deborah <DSchank@newportbeachca.gov>; bartg1@cox.net Subject: Comments for 6 Via Cristallo [EXTERNAL EMAIL] DO NOT CLICK links or attachments unless you recognize the sender and know the content is safe. To Whom it May Concern: Thank you for this opportunity to provide comments to the Hardaway’s request for an extension of a three‐year construction limit for Building Permit No. X2013‐2927, XR2022‐2015 and related permits with respect to 6 Via Cristallo, Newport Coast, CA 92657. First, I wish to note that this project is now in its NINTH year! Attached is a true and correct copy of an email correspondence dated March 5, 2015, from me to Ron Hardaway, when the Hardaways first began the demolition work on this project, which I am only providing to you to substantiate the date of commencement of this project. So, for over 8 years, we have had to deal with the noise, debris, vermin, parking issues and related nuisances from this never‐ending project. Our homeowner association had from time to time, taken enforcement actions and even litigation to urge this project along, but the homeowner association now seems to have given up any hope to get them into compliance. We want this project to be completed ASAP and, accordingly, we have no objection to the requested extension. However, we do wish to note that we question whether the Hardaways will actually be able to complete this project by July 31, 2023. To that end, it appears that the Hardaways have just now started work on their exterior landscaping, which includes a pool, cabana and related structures. For that reason, we strongly believe that the grant of any extension should have real consequences if the project is not completed by them by the granted extension date. We also would like to any grant of an extension to be conditioned on their proper maintenance of the work site, including the following: 1.That the Hardaways maintain the job site in a clean and sightly manner, including keeping the property free from weeds. To that end, we note that only today in apparent anticipation of the hearing did the Hardaways weed the rear yard. Weeds had been growing since last year and were at least three to four feet tall throughout the rear yard. 2.That the Hardaways repair any damage to our property caused by this project including removal and installation of a new, properly sized glass panel which is part of the common wall between our properties. The vibrations from demolition work caused the panel to separate such that it is now too short for the space and there is a gap on one side. 3.That the Hardaways supervise the job site and, in particular, do not park, and make sure that their contractors do not park, in the prohibited parking areas within the Fire Lane area of our cul de sac. Thank you for your consideration of our comments.

We are next door neighbors with the Hardaway and it’s really sad what they have done to their house and our beauBful neighborhood. Now with the City of Newport involved we hope that this madness with finally stop. We have endured over 20 years of nonstop construcBon on that home. It was once a beauBful home with one the best locaBon and views in our neighborhood. Unfortunately, the Hardaway destroyed it along with our beauBful neighborhood. The front of their home looks like a garbage dump with a CauBon tape across it. What they have done to their property and home is like child abuse, but instead of abusing a child they would abuse their home. We do believe they have severe mental illness when it comes to their home. We have always been kind to them and very paBent, but we are scared of them because they love to sue people and our HOA warned us to leave them alone because the HOA are scared of them too. We have seen things that they have done to their home and property that has shocked us to the core that is very disturbing. 1. They took a sledgehammer to destroy their backyard (please see aMached video) 2. On 2 different occasions they hired someone to drive a tractors thru their home. That was very disturbing to witness. 3. They would leave their home abandoned and in shambles for months and years at a Bme leaving it as a fire hazard and puRng our house and the neighborhood at risk. 4. The last Bme they took out their pool 4 years they had a huge hole in their backyard that they abandoned for over a year that caused the foundaBon of our property to become unbalanced. We have gaps in our house because of it. When they finally did fill the hole up with dirt they let weeds grow over 5U tall. They even have a flag pole with the American flag sBll aMached to it that is touching the floor that is all ripped up.

They have never been happy with their home and they have been a nuisance to us and the neighborhood for over 20 years with constant construcBon on their home. They would start a project on their home and abandon it for months and years at a Bme. And FYI…. You can never EVER believe a word that comes out of their mouth. They lie constantly and love to put the blame on others, but DO NOT feel sorry for them they did this to themselves and they are responsible for this madness and only them. With that said we DO NOT want the City to extend the permit. We want this madness to stop. There is no hope in sight for this home to be finished with them at the helm. I hope the City of Newport will be able to bring back our once quiet beauBful neighborhood so we can enjoy it like we are meant to enjoy it.
