Says Stonehaus an annoyance




For 18 months, we and other neighbors of First Neighborhood campaigned the City Council to bring an expanding commercial operation, Westlake Village Inn Property, under control, and as a result the Stonehaus Conditional Use Permit was reviewed and partially modified on Dec. 14, 2016.

The effort has, in large part, corrected the issues to a level of livability, and we thank our many friends and neighbors in First Neighborhood and Westlake Village who rallied on everyone’s behalf.

But as we’ve been personally targeted and put in the position of having to fight for our right to a peaceful life and with two conditions unresolved, we have no option but to challenge what we and many others believe is an intentional denial of those rights in a more public manner.

The two unresolved conditions are a three-story oak tree/ tower of light obstructing our view, which the property promised multiple times in writing and publicly would be limited to holiday weekends, and continued use of specific instruments known to cause nuisance to the neighboring residential community.

With Stonehaus among the top generators of tax revenue for the city, the temptation to protect it in the interest of financial gain is clear. But at what cost to neighboring residential communities, and what do these intimidation tactics demonstrate about our mayor and the management of Westlake Village under his leadership?
