Mitre -Ramirez, Norma <br />From: <br />Park, Carol < <br />Sent: <br />Tuesday, February 19, 2019 1:56 PM <br />To: <br />eComment <br />Subject: <br />comments <br />My Name is Carol Park and I live on Poinsettia Street in Park Santiago. I am opposed to this <br />project, however I am not opposed to apartments and housing within our community. Tam <br />fine with the 375 units at the Windsor, the 260 units at the Eleven 10, the 182 units at the <br />Prisma, the 262 units coming to 999 Town and Country, 727 units coming also to Town and <br />Country, the 247 units at 2700 N. Main and even the 1900 proposed units at the Main Place <br />Mall. Build every one of them. I am supportive of these 4,000 other units built or proposed <br />within a % a mile of Park Santiago. <br />Our North End community is ripe for good responsible development. I am excited about the <br />Main Place mall transformation and what it can do for the City of Santa Ana. I think that <br />apartments north of memory lane and the traffic these new residents will bring is just part of <br />healthy growth and commerce that we as a community will have to come to terms with. But it <br />can't be denied that making the Main Place Mall a regional destination and having 4,000 units <br />a % mile north will not have an adverse effect with cut through traffic in our <br />neighborhood. For goodness sake, you can get off the 5 freeway at the 17th street and within <br />a couple of blocks you are smack in the middle of our neighborhood and drivers will continue <br />through to get to this new revitalized area. <br />And I do not think that you should reduce the Main Place by 500 units and give that allotment <br />to 2525 Main Street as was the solution suggested by Planning Commissioner Alderete. The <br />density and capacity should remain as part of the commerce and entertainment center that <br />North of Memory lane is becoming. <br />That is why I think it is so important to moderate your development when it makes sense to do <br />so. It's a balancing act that needs great planning and intentional deliberation. Just because an <br />apartment tower can be built on every available square foot of land doesn't mean that it <br />should be built. <br />Your decision to allow this project will be one that the North End and our community will <br />contend with for generations. <br />What will be our neighborhoods tipping point? I believe the 4,000 units and the Main Place <br />Mall is as high as we can go. <br />Thankyou <br />i <br />!� <br />
