Address of Property: 915 & 921 N. Flower Street, 842 N. Garnsey Street, Santa Ana, CA 92703 (APN# 005- <br />142-35, -47, -58) <br /> <br />2. Address of Property: 915 & 921 N. Flower Street, 842 N. Garnsey Street, Santa Ana, CA 92703 (APN# 005- <br />142-35, -47, -58) <br /> <br />3. Address of Property: 925 N. Flower, 852 N. Garnsey and 848 N. Garnsey, Santa Ana, CA 92703 (APN# 005- <br />142-34, -49, -48) <br /> <br />Currently, I see that this discussion of such property will be held today during close sessions. <br /> <br />My no means am I savvy enough to comprehend the verbiage which is displayed on this agenda but I am <br />passionate enough to bring to your attention that we as Willard residents do not want a private developer <br />purchasing this property. <br /> <br />It should be noted that I was involved in the initial Joint Use Agreement between SAUSD and The City of Santa <br />Ana in 2011 – dated Oct 7, 2011 – which was mainly funded by Statewide Park Development and Community <br />Revitalization Program of 2008 under California Proposition 68. As you know these propositions are voted into <br />legislation by us the citizens - who realize the necessity of open space. <br /> <br />Additionally, I pulled the demographics of the Willard Neighborhood from the Statewide Park and <br />Development website and whose data is from 2010 Census <br /> We used this data for the grant monies <br /> The Willard Neighborhood is considered and continues to be a “disadvantage community”. <br /> A typical agency should have a park for every 2,277 residents (2016 NFPA Field Report). <br /> Willard has .32 parks for 1,000 people <br /> We don’t even have 1 full park. <br />1 <br /> <br />
