Orozco, Norma <br />From: <br />Kelly Medina < <br />Sent: <br />Tuesday, February 05, 2019 1:05 PM <br />To: <br />eComment <br />Subject: <br />Fw: 2525 N Main St. <br />On Tuesday, February 5,2019,12:55 PM, Kelly Medina < wrote: <br />Honorable Mayor and Councilmembers: <br />I understand that tonight, Feb. 5, 2019, the 2525 N Main St. <br />Residential Development may be on the agenda and that there could very likely be a <br />vote on whether to allow the construction of a 480 -unit, high density apartment complex. <br />I am asking that the Council vote NO and reject putting such a structure adjacent to the single <br />story homes there. <br />Even in childhood I admired Park Santiago and when I first moved out on my own, I rented a <br />garage apartment on Valencia. In 1997, after looking for homes all around Santa Ana, Orange <br />and North Tustin, my husband and I chose to buy a home on French St. and reared our children <br />here. <br />In 2012, we had a great opportunity to move to North Tustin, but opted to stay in Park Santiago <br />because we love the great sense of community here. The place is truly unique. People who visit <br />us always marvel at how how beautiful our neighborhood is. It's a tribute to Santa Ana! <br />I think that any zoning change to 2525 N Main ought to be to either allow single family homes, <br />perhaps mixed in with a few, 2-3 story condominiums directly backed up to Main St. What the <br />developer presently wants to build there does not fit the character of the neighborhood, and <br />would degrade the present quality of it. <br />The traffic on Main is already congested. In order to drive the 1.4 miles North to St. Joseph <br />Hospital from there, you must encounter about 8 traffic lights. If people headed North out of that <br />proposed project, but needed to go South, they would need to make a U-turn at Walkie <br />Way. Even now, that is one thing that stops up northbound traffic because it makes the light turn <br />red for all northbound traffic, including those just coming off the freeway. <br />Pedestrian traffic will also increase if this project is built and will negatively affect all that <br />northbound traffic since the Walkie Way light turns red whenever pedestrians cross Main St. <br />This already occurs when people are heading to the Science Museum there. It stops up <br />Northbound traffic not only at Walkie Way, but Main Street, Edgewood Rd., AND the North I-5 <br />offramp. These are all located just 500ft. to the south of there. <br />Imagine how that congestion will be exacerbated when the Main Place re -do is complete (I know <br />it is not yet approved, but it Is actually ALREADY zoned for multifamily housing, and is in the <br />present landowner's stated plans for construction). This is not to mention the multiple -family <br />housing that is already going in at the City of Orange on Town and Country/Main/Lawson <br />1W <br />
