Received at City Council <br />Meeting 2/19/2019 <br />ecomments@santa-ana.org <br />Planning Commission <br />Regarding 2525 North Main Street, Santa Ana, Ca <br />Dear Commissioners: <br />I do not support the proposed 496 unit development at the entrance to the Park <br />Santiago neighborhood. <br />The best use for this property would be for the Discovery Science Museum. It would be <br />excellent for their offices and parking for visitors. <br />In objecting, the most obvious reason is the size and density of the development. <br />Nearly 500 apartments next to a 1200 home neighborhood are excessive. If it is to be <br />rezoned, the density should be a maximum of 20 units per acre, not the 83 as proposed. <br />The homes along Memory Lane are only three stores, which seems more appropriate. <br />I do not feel the traffic study adequately addresses the taking of Walkie Way for egress <br />to the development. The additional cars entering and leaving at Walkie Way, only 150 <br />yards from Edgewood and the north bound 5 freeway off ramp will have cars backed up <br />onto the freeway as well as south bound cars back to Main Place Mall. There are only 4 <br />places where we can enter and exit our neighborhood and making Edgewood unusable <br />would have major negative impact. <br />I feel the developer has been unethical in his dealings with our neighborhood by <br />compensating individuals to support his project at the last commission meeting. I feel <br />that the letter in support from the Discovery Science Museum was obtained by the <br />developer offering financial support for the parking structure they need. <br />I live in this neighborhood that is about 100 years old. It should be guarded and <br />protected from this development. <br />Sincerely, <br />Alan H Fuller <br /> <br /> <br />��ti <br />
