In regards to the recent notice of expansion, when will the parking garage be restored for parking if ever? The residents were not notified of the change as it appears to be used for parties. I assume the employees park on nearby streets.
Sincerely,

To Whom It May Concern,
I oppose the expansion of the Carlthorp School. This causes a lot of disruption in the lives of the fellows who live here. I live directly across the street from Carlthorp, 425 San Vicente Blvd. For some, the noise alone is a huge issue. For me, it’s the parking. The expansion of the school, means a bigger staff, and less space to fit all our cars. I live with my husband and my child. Circling the block several times to find a spot near my house is a huge issue.
Please spot this plan for moving forward.
Thank you for your time,
Paige Segal

City Council,
I am writing to urge you to uphold the appeal against Carlthorp School’s expansion. As a ten year resident of San Vicente Blvd., I can attest to the fact that the quality of life in our neighborhood is significantly lower when the school is in session. Given their existing impact on the neighborhood, the idea that the school would expand further is ludicrous. It is troubling to me that city staff would recommend this expansion.
Specific issues which will impact your constituents in this neighborhood:
- A multipurpose room which will be used for events will bring more traffic, less parking, and more noise. - A rooftop basketball court will exacerbate the school’s existing noise pollution. They are installing double pane windows on their school to mitigate the noise they experience in classrooms. - Years of commercial construction will take place in the middle of an R1 Zone The school already presents numerous issues which should be curtailed:
- The school has 30 parking spots and 80 staff. Staff of the school take spots away from residents, forcing us to park far away from our homes.
- The school produces constant noise throughout the day. It can be heard in every room of my home. It is difficult to work from home. It is difficult to have peace in my home. Please come to San Vicente during a school day and hear it for yourselves.
- Student pick-up and drop-off cause dangerous traffic situations and even greater parking issues.
This school has a history of bad-faith expansions. They should not be able to expand further.
This school reduces your constituents’ quality of life. Their impact on the Historic San Vicente district should be investigated by the city.
Thank You,
Jeff Brecht

My name is Jim Robertson and I live next door to the school in unit #306. I oppose expansion of the school in this quiet residential area and in particular oppose the proposed rooftop playcourt.
Almost every day I go to my rooftop community patio for prayer, quiet meditation, and relaxation. A ROOFTOP PLAYCOURT would be very disturbing and a huge overreach.
Thank you for hearing my comment and request,
Jim
