FULLER <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />------------------------ <br />------------------------ <br />March 6, 2018 <br />1 have lived in Santa Ana for 41 years, at the same address on Santiago Street. The house was built in 1922 <br />for the manager of the Yost Theater. I bought my house from James Anderson who lived in the house for 35 <br />years. Don Franklin was our real estate broker. Our neighborhood is now called Park Santiago, it was a nice <br />neighborhood when we moved in and over the years as new people moved in, I think it has gotten nicer. <br />I do not want our area to be injured by a re -zoning to accommodate the proposed development at 2525 Main <br />Street. We have accepted the professional zoning for all these years and see the rezoning to allow 500+ <br />apartments at the end of Edgewood, which is one of the few access streets to our neighborhood, as an <br />excessive development at an already congested intersection. The congestion will spill into our area along with <br />overflow parking. <br />I feel that there are many examples of zoning changes or modifications that have occurred in Santa Ana that <br />have resulted in historically nice residential neighborhoods that have been negatively impacted by multi -family <br />building being built adjacent to single family homes. I know you see the terrible street parking congestion and <br />deteriorated properties in these areas. The people that live there now wish the zoning changes had not be <br />approved. And I know you, as the city council, are dealing with the problems that are associated within these <br />areas. <br />The developer wants the rezoning so that he can greatly increase the value of this property for his one time <br />profit. He does not and will not have any continuing interest in Santa Ana or the Park Santiago neighborhood. <br />If it is built, he will be on to the next project and we, the residents and the city council will remain and left to <br />deal with the future issues of increased speeding traffic and congested street parking in the neighborhood. <br />Please do not approve the rezoning so that we can continue to have a neighborhood to be proud of. <br />Respectfully <br />Alan H Fuller <br />I <br />
