Received at City Council <br />Meeting 2/19/2019 <br />Dear City Council and Mayor Pul!do, <br />I definitely oppose the rezoning of 2525 N. Main Street in Santa Ana. I live on Santiago Street, which <br />already has a lot of traffic. If a high density apartment complex is built, we will experience a significant <br />increase. The residents would be driving through our neighborhood to get to and from work, take kids to <br />school and from school, etc., which would make the amount of traffic in Park Santiago unacceptable. <br />Rezoning would allow for a HIGH DENSITY building that is out of character for our neighborhood, which <br />has many beautiful old homes in it, including my home. The tall development would butt up against not <br />only Edgewood, but the houses along Spurgeon. A border of trees would do very, very little to block this <br />behemoth from our wonderful neighbors. We do not want to change the neighborhood for the worse. We <br />would like the neighborhood to be uplifted. The proposed HIGH DENSITY apartment complex would <br />definitely bring our neighborhood down. <br />Traffic on Main Street is already very heavy. I know because I picket at 2525 N. Main Street every <br />Wednesday. We have people cutting through our neighborhood already ---we have very long line of cars <br />leaving the neighborhood in the morning --and don't need more. Main Street is very heavily traveled, and <br />backs up horribly. We sometimes choose not to go down that way in the evening for dinner, the mall, etc. <br />because we don't want to deal with the traffic. The proposed apartment complex would add a great deal <br />more traffic to our neighborhood, and Main Street. The "study" and "results" are very deceptive. Morning <br />and evening traffic is absolutely horrible. <br />The developer has induced MANY people to speak for them at the Planning and City Council meetings. <br />This, as well as their deceptive presentations, should tell you that this is NOT a reasonable fit for our <br />neighborhood. They are trying to trick our neighborhood (including buying off certain neighbors and city <br />representatives!), and the city of Santa Ana. Don't be fooled into thinking that this is a good thing for our <br />city, or Park Santiago. <br />We need to protect our beautiful pockets of older homes in Santa Ana. We take pride in Park Santiago, <br />and want it to remain special. <br />I have many more concerns about rezoning for high density apartments, but will end here. I have made <br />my major points. <br />Sincerely, <br />Sharon Gullikson <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />
