Subject: Appeal of Use Permit for 7-11 Liquor License, 1221 Artesia Blvd., Suite 101 Dear Councilmembers,
I appeal the approval by the planning commission of the use permit for a liquor license at the 7-

11. The premises lie within 100 feet of residences as shown in the first attachment. I don't believe they should be able to sell liquor until 2 AM seven days a week. There are plenty of liquor stores in the South Bay open until 2 AM. Please don't approve another one next door to residences in our neighborhood.

I was able to quickly collect $500 from my neighbors to appeal this. It's forced us to learn about protesting ABC licenses. Most residents, including me, don't understand the process without spending a lot of time investigating. We've learned that the ABC will deny the license or at least restrict its hours, provided someone protests the license. Must we be forced to spend $500 to appeal, and then to protest to the ABC simply to obtain decent operating hours? Consequently, I will protest the license, requesting denial or at least hours from 8 AM to 9 PM, per the 2^° page of the 2^d Attachment. The first page of the 2nd attachment describes some things I've experienced at or near the 7-11:
• In the past year I have encountered these things on Tennyson Street, just north of the 7-11:
(a) used contraceptives, (b) a bag of urine, and (c) repeated graffiti. I've photographed these things and called the city for their removal. I once observed a young lady exit the passenger side of a car, sweating profusely, vomit on the sidewalk, and return to her car. Families are out and children play on Tennyson Street. We need less of this junk and activity, not more. • Also, the 7-11 parking lot was dirty and littered with trash when I visited, including two empty Tequila boxes. The same trash was there when I came back the next morning.

There's graffiti in two places right on the front of the store. I'm afraid they don't have much pride of ownership or concern for their neighbors, yet. I have a meeting scheduled with them and I'm hoping I can coax them into being more of an asset to our neighborhood.

Please take responsibility and limit liquor license sales from 8 AM to 9 PM as I believe the ABC will. I believe the city should have checked this with the ABC before approving the use permit.

That 7-11 may seem like a stop-off on the way to the beach, but our families live here and we care. Given the care and attention it deserves, Poet's Corner will develop its own unique charm and become a little jewel of Manhattan Beach.

Thank you,
Richard McQuillin

Subject: Feb 9 PC Meeting: Protest of 7-11 Liquor License Per the attached draft Form ABC 510A, 1 plan to protest the application for the license to the ABC for liquor sales at the 7-11 store at 1221 Artesia Blvd. Suite 101, Manhattan Beach, CA 90266:

1. I didn't see any notice posted when I visited the store on Feb 7, 2022.

2. I spoke with Lovely at ABC Long Beach (562) 982-1337 on Feb 7 and she did not find that an application has been filed.

3. There is an apartment building adjacent to the 7-11 on the north, so it's definitely within 100 feet. Other residences may also be within 100 feet. Consequently, the ABC will accept my protest.

As result of my forthcoming protest, the ABC may deny the license. At a minimum, they will condition the license, for example, restricting hours of alcohol sales to 8 AM - 9 PM. The city needs to coordinate with the ABC to ensure that the use permit is consistent with the alcohol license. For example, instead of specifying hours of alcohol sales in the use permit, it should have a condition that the hours must comply with those in the alcohol license.

Also, please consider the negative impact that hard liquor sales will have on our family neighborhood:

4. In the past year I have encountered these things on Tennyson street, just north of the 7-11: (a) used contraceptives left in the street, (b) a bag of urine by the Skechers parking lot, and (c) graffiti repeatedly marked (3-5 times so far) on the electrical box north of the Afterburner Gym.

I have photographed these things and called the city for their removal. I once observed a young lady exit the passenger side of a car, sweating profusely, vomit on the sidewalk north of the Chase bank, and return to her car. We need LESS of this junk and activity, not more.

5. There have been numerous traffic accidents, some fatal, surrounding that store on Artesia, Sepulveda, Tennyson, and Prospect.

Also, the 7-11 parking lot was littered with trash when I visited, including two empty Tequila boxes. They don't seem to have much pride of ownership or respect for their neighbors. Can they be warned and/or cited for this?
If you need evidence, I have photos of the lack of notice, lot litter, disgusting things left on our street, graffiti, etc. Feel free to ask for them.

Thank you,
Richard McQuillin
