this is going to cause any problems with fast and high -volume traffic when parents or busses are dropping off kids? Plus, <br />again knowing human nature, if the apartment residents can only turn left on Main Street to get to the freeways, they <br />will park on our streets. <br />Second, the development company has amended their original plan from nearly 500 apartments and 9 stories, making it <br />sound like they are trying to be respectful of our neighborhood but, they are not. Theyjust want to rezone this property <br />by any means necessary so they can recoup their investment as quickly as possible. Take a look at the plans ... the <br />distance from the apartment complex to the brick wall of the neighbors is 90'. Does that sound like a lot to you? Here's <br />the prospective - this is the same distance from the pitcher's mound to home plate. Not very far, is it? Can you imagine <br />living that close to a building which looks over your backyard??? Probably not ... but hey, you don't have to. <br />Remember you are setting precedent. When another developer or the same one wants to build on Broadway which <br />backs up to the houses in Floral Park, what is the City Council going to do then? There are no developments of this <br />density in Santa Ana that backs up to single family housing. <br />Surrounding our neighborhood, the density of a %: mile radius with what complexes exist now and what the city plans for <br />the Main Place Mall will be 1,500+ apartments once completed. Isn't the city gaining enough general fund revenue from <br />these approved projects? A planning commissioner said he voted for the development because it would generate <br />another 3M in funds. When is enough, enough at the expense of the taxpayer? <br />This is NOT about only our neighborhood; this is about the density of Santa Ana and the lifestyle that high density living <br />creates. It's transient! Apartment dwellers do not make a difference in a community, homeowners make the <br />difference. We pay property tax, we start businesses, we write our City Council members, we start neighborhood <br />watches. <br />Do not rezone this property. It's just not good for Santa Ana! <br />Camillia Sornstein <br /> <br /> <br />
