Mitre -Ramirez, Norma Subject: RE: No to apartments at 2525 N Main From: Family [mailto:familialopez02@att.net] Sent: Wednesday, November 13, 2019 2:00 PM To: Pulido, Miguel <MPulido@santa-ana.org> Subject: No to apartments at 2525 N Main Good Afternoon, I am writing on behalf of my family in opposition of the proposed apartment complex to be built at 2525 N. Main St. The project is too dense for the area. There already is heavy traffic on that stretch of Main due to it being a major street which is heavily used in a daily basis as well as an access point to the freeways. Aside from that, the grandiose project at the main place mall (hotels, apartments, etc) is going to be built also which will only add to the already existing congestion in the area. Edgewood is an access point to our beautiful neighborhood, which you may not reside in. Having to share the access with hundreds or thousands more will make it harder for Park Santiago residents to enter/exit the Area. Other issues may include traffic collisions (which already occur when vehicles turn on red at off ramp), apartment residents (on contract and subleasing) and their visitors will spill over and park in the neighborhood streets making it hard for our residents and visitors to find parking. The parking on residential streets will then cost Park Santiago residents money. We will have to make our residential streets parking permit only streets costing our residents money in order to park on our streets as well as the inconvenience of having to fill out parking permits (limited) for our visitors. Quality of life, safety, and great property value was something i strived for and looked for when buying a home to raise my family. Which is why my husband and I (both born and raised in Santa Ana) decided to purchase in the Park Santiago neighborhood. This may not be of importance to you since you do not reside in out neighborhood. I did not want to live in an area surrounded by apartment buildings or on a street where we had to fight/struggle to park on. Santa Ana streets are supposed to be tree -lined not car lined. As lifelong Santaneros, we have worked hard to provide our children with a nice home in a great neighborhood. It's easy for some city employees/officials to support a project when it does not directly affect them. I am going to boldly assume that this project would no longer be proposed if it was going to affect the Floral Park neighborhood. How would you feel if an apartment complex was going to be built in your backyard? The Lopez Sent from my iPhone
