Received at City Council <br />Meeting 2/19/2019 <br />Santa Ana City Council Members, <br />This development has been clouded with deception, untruths, payoffs, <br />R questionable contributions to council members, dinners and promises <br />® to reward residents of Park Santiago if they would give a thumbs up <br />R for the project. <br />Y The developer has brought in students and others to planning and <br />counsel meetings, claiming to support this project while reading from a <br />K script or Wikipedia about housing shortage. These outside sources <br />are not directly impacted by this development. These voices did not <br />vote for you on the council, most are non Santa Ana residence, <br />Fi without roots in Santa Ana. The council is to be the representation for <br />K those who live within the city's boarders, such as the residences of <br />Park Santiago. <br />In the past, the council recognized the value of it's nostalgic <br />neighborhoods and the treasures they have become, while doing <br />everything possible to preserve the past of a by gone era. <br />People move to Santa Ana neighborhoods and pay a high price for a <br />limited supply of these old and historic homes. We choose to live in <br />unique period homes where you know your neighbor, neighbors look <br />out for each other, these neighborhoods actively foster gatherings and <br />events, and we are neighbors that strives to preserves a past that has <br />been erased from so many cities. <br />It's conservative to say over 95% of Park Santiago residences are <br />opposed to this project planted within our neighborhood boarders. We <br />are not against change, there is plenty of change going on within a <br />few blocks of Park Santiago. Change without destroying the past and <br />preserving our neighborhood is responsible development. <br />Rory <br /> <br />I,- <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />
