Santa Ana City Council <br />20 Civic Center Plaza <br />P.O. Box 1988, M31 <br />Santa Ana, CA 92701 <br />Received at City Council <br />Meeting 2/19/2019 <br />February 10, 2019 <br />Subject: 2525 North Main Street. (Proposed Addington Apartment Complex) <br />Negative effects of view, noise, traffic and crime are my primary concerns for my Park <br />Santiago Historic Neighborhood. <br />Increased late night traffic and noise throughout the neighborhood as One Thousand more new <br />automobiles enter and exit, and use our narrow residential streets to skirt around the very <br />heavy major traffic corridors of Main Street, 17"` Street, Grand Avenue, and Lincoln Avenue. <br />Increases in street parking in the neighborhood, for several blocks, near the apartment complex, <br />is a major concern and a definite environmental concern for all Park Santiago residents who do <br />not want apartment residents and their guests parking in front of their homes, coming and going, <br />all day and night. The offer of the developers to pay for parking permits and security for the <br />residents is a non starter and only adds credence to the expected environmental impact of this <br />project on our residential neighborhood. <br />Increased traffic throughout the entire neighborhood will severely impact the safety of the <br />families and children of the neighborhood, as well as the children attending our neighborhood <br />school [Hoover Elementary]. The neighborhood has already been negatively impacted by the <br />Santa Ana Unified School District's decision to bus the majority of its students, into our <br />neighborhood, who reside in other neighborhoods throughout the city. Approximately 5 School <br />Buses of students enter and exit the Park Santiago neighborhood daily during the week, <br />throughout the school year, addling noise and diesel exhaust fumes into our environment. <br />Many of the students parents also enter and exit our neighborhood approximately 4 times daily, <br />to drop off and pick up their children, again adding to increased street traffic, noise and safety <br />of the residents. So, increased traffic from a proposed high density apartment complex only <br />adds to an already bad environment for the residents of Park Santiago. <br />bripa.ct on our neighborhood Historic Park, Santiago Park, a relatively small park, which has <br />already become an eco environmental disaster due to being over run with gangs, drug dealers, <br />sexual predators and most recently by homeless encampments who trash the park with debris, <br />19\ <br />
