Santa Ana City Council <br />20 Civic Center Plaza <br />P.O. Box 1988, M31 <br />Santa Ana, CA 92701 <br />Dear Council Members: <br />January 26, 2019 <br />7019 FE ""'57 <br />CITY C <br />CLEF <br />The Minarik Family <br /> <br /> <br />Please prevent the rezoning of the property at 2525 North Main Street! My family and I are very <br />concerned that the magnitude of the proposed project would ruin our neighborhoods, and our homes, <br />and lives would suffer as a result of the high-density impact. <br />As you may know, the developer's estimate is 1.8 cars/unit, but judging by the number of cars/dwelling <br />in our neighborhood, it should be at least 2-4 cars/unit, maybe more, as high rents require multiple <br />tenants/unit. The added traffic and parking will result in more accidents, wear and tear on our roads, <br />and need for more law enforcement officers. As it is, we can hardly get in and out of our driveway, and <br />had an accident trying to turn into our driveway where a little girl in the oncoming car was injured. It <br />can take five to ten minutes to get through the light at Santiago X 17th St. during morning and afternoon <br />rush hours. If you drive along E. 20th Street in Park Santiago at night, you will see there are many cars <br />parked on the streets. We've had three stolen cars in front of our house this past year, with two more <br />down the block. It's nice to know whose cars are parked near your house for safety reasons. <br />There is also a lovely and newly renovated park which we enjoy next to the site, and it is our <br />understanding that the developer plans to use the park driveway for their traffic. Such an arrangement <br />would affect and possibly ruin the park setting and its use. <br />Another concern we have is the security necessary for such a development. Quality security is <br />expensive, and most developers will economize here, and cut back with the passage of time. <br />We hope the developer could explore a more suitable place for his development, such as south on Main <br />Street, or Bristol Street, where there are areas where our City could be improved with such a project. <br />The City has widened Bristol Street, at great expense, to allow for larger developments, and there is a <br />large tract of land near Warner and Main Streets where the complex could be an asset to the City. <br />Perhaps the developer could be encouraged to explore a more beneficial site for this project in the <br />southern areas of our city? <br />We urge you to vote "no" on the rezoning of this tract of land at 2525 N. Main St. Thank you for your <br />time and thoughtfulness to make Santa Ana a safer, more beautiful place! <br />Sincerely, <br />ane, Dave Andrew <br />and Nathanael inarik <br />
