Dear Seal Beach Planning Commission,
We are writing in support of the Conditional Use Permit for Mary & Gregg DeNicola and
the iconic Seal Beach Water Tower House. We love that visiting guests have the
opportunity to enjoy The Tower from the inside and we support it being available for
overnight stays.
As residents of Seal Beach imagine our surprise & excitement when our long-time
friends The DeNicolas purchased that property. Since first spotting The Tower in about
1986, we have admired one of the most unique buildings in Seal Beach and hoped its
history would be passed along for generations to come. Plus, we’d always wished we
could go inside to take in the best view of the Pacific for miles around!
We’ve known the DeNicolas for decades and admire their tireless & generous historic
preservationist activities throughout Orange County. We are convinced that passion will
include the Seal Beach Water Tower. Thus, we are comforted by their intentions to
preserve The Tower not for just themselves, but for others to experience.
While many seek the vacation rental approach purely for profit, The DeNicolas find great
joy in sharing with & educating visitors about the importance of the jewel of Seal Beach.
Sincerely,
Jeanine and Kevin Bush
