Aguilar Residence <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />September 16, 2019 <br />Lisa Rudloff, Executive Director <br />Recreation and Community Services Agency - M23 <br />City of Santa Ana <br />20 Civic Center Plaza, 2nd FLR., RM 272 <br />Santa Ana, CA 92701 <br />714 571 4204 <br />Dear Ms. Lisa Rudoff, <br />I'm reaching out on behalf of my household and neighborhood community, in regards to the Raiff Street <br />Site, part of the Centennial Park/Santa Ana College Park Replacement project. <br />It is exciting news that the city of Santa Ana is attempting to improve our community by providing a <br />neighborhood park. Per the initial study report and letter mailed to neighborhood residents, it appears the <br />conceptual site plan is moving forward with adding a Skate Area, as well at the Sixth Street Site. There is <br />no need of multiple skateparks within short distance. We have high concerns with commissioners creating <br />a skate area at our home neighborhood. For the safety of our children, seniors, others, and the quality of <br />our life, please do not add a skate park area at the Raiff Street site. It will lead to a rise in vandalism, <br />crime, trafficlfoot traffic, noise increase - caused by skateboard wheels, and homeless population. Extend <br />the green floral area to where the skate area is proposed. Attached you'll find crime reportthomeless stats <br />and images of neighborhood vandalism for your information and records. Please take our community <br />concerns into consideration along with the Community Petition. <br />Note, our community was not well informed about the Raitt Site project and its progress. I provided my <br />contact info to William Sandoval, Community Services Supervisor, City of Santa Ana, and his team, at the <br />few meetings that I was aware of. Yet, I did not receive updates for the remaining of the meetings. I <br />emailed my concerns to Mr. Sandoval in early July. He replied with stating my concerns will be presented <br />at a future Board of Recreation and Parks meeting, and welcome to attend. That he would follow back <br />with a confirm date. I never heard back from him and missed another opportunity to participate with the <br />community project and share our thoughts. <br />We appreciate PlaceWorks/City of Santa Ana reaching out in mid August 2019 to welcome our comments <br />and project concerns as a community. We are not in favor of opening a skate park area at our future <br />neighborhood park. If you have any additional questions, or would like to further discuss our concerns, <br />you're welcome to reach me at, <br />Best Regards, <br />Ivette Aguilar <br />Community Petition Regarding Raitt/Myrtle Site, Santa Ana, CA 92703 1 Area #5 September 2019 <br />Peticidn comunitaria sabre at side Raitt / Myrtle, Santa Ana, CA 927031 Area # 5 Septiembre de 2019 <br />
