By Sub-committee
Wednesday, April 10, Bill Allen - owner of the Crystal Pier Motel - and other residents called a press conference at the pier to help expose a simmering problem in Pacific Beach to the larger community. Allen and many other concerned residents have over the last while voiced their complaints about Scott Slaga - owner of the 710 Club (ex-Blind Melons) near the Crystal Pier - in his efforts to obtain a sidewalk encroachment variance for his establishment.
Allen and the complaining residents have issues caused, they contend, by encroachments for bars, problems such as the high crime stats and high noise impact, to lowered property values to no room on the sidewalks for people to walk to the beach.
This is all in preparation for the city council vote today, April 11, on whether or not to allow Slaga to obtain his sidewalk encroachment variance.
