Name: JA �� Imp4 Vi0.Y Address Phone: Email: Re: Clty Council Hearing on Augunl5,2023 Objection to Application for Abandonment of certain easement/right of way located at 2383 N. Flower Street, Santa Ana, CA; IAbeadonment No. 202"1); Applicants Colin Donnelly and Carolina La Dear Mayor and City Council: We amresidentsat the above address. We have been residents at said address since IT s % . We understand that there has been an Application to Abandon the alleyway located between 2379 and 2383 North Flower Street' Sand Ana, CA, our neighborhood alleyway. We strongly am opposed to the reverting of sold property as stated on Applicant's application for the followingrcasons 1. Host, we do not believe share was ever an easement for old alleyway, It Is a dedicated roadway. We AM091Y believe that alley is a PUBLIC ROADWAY. We strongly object to the fact that the City of5and Is Intending an GIFTING PUBLIC FUNDS to the Applicants. The alleyway belongs to the People. We are of the opinion that gating of public hinds for free Is illegal. The valve of said "gift" could possibly be worth hundreds of mouse cols of dollars taken from our community. 2. We believe the Sitting of said land increases the Applioaotd property by approximately 1,150 sq. ft of prime property in Santa Ana. 3. We object to the had that am community was not informed properly of the Applicants' application W have the property "reverted" to 2383 North Flower. That Propertyls a PUBLIC ROADWAY —there Is nothing to-mwrt". We, the people, are deserving of proper Notice. d. We object that the Applicants intend on having a wall built to block the alleyway so no one has aaoem to that public madway. This Is our community; the luation of this property is not for Individual use. We never agreed to give the property to anyone. This affeywaywlll he closed for public use should you appmve this Application. 5. We also object to the fad that our neighbors adjacent scold alleyway on Hellormae will be restricted and inconvenienced bymid closure of this alleyway. Theydo not have driveways, so they mustaccentheir,wagesvia the alleyway. Those neighbors have legal rights to full access to this alleyway. It also creates a dangerous driving condition in that people may have to back up onto Heliotrope H a car is mining down the alley. 6. The residence located at 2379 North Flower will also be greatly Impacted if this "revemrg" is approved. This is rlotan easement, it Ise dedicated roadway, nothing to "revert". The property ownerat 2379 also has rights, as do we. 7. Said alleyway has been therefor 100 years) The Applicants have owned their residence at 2383 N.Flowerfor22months. Weloveourneighborhoodjustasitiywedonat dtodow alleyways for Individuals who have notgiven thought Wow community. S. Additional verbiage has been added to the legal description of Applicants' application. Applicants are claiming the alleyway belongs to them, and thus, want the alleyway "reverted". This NEW Ianguagejust appeared out of nowhere. The City must review all ORIGINAL maps and records to disprove this claim. 9. We also believe that alley way property was DEDICATED to the City of Sand Are by prior owners of said land/akeyway in the year 1925, and not as an easement over the Applir ms' property at 2383 N. Flower. 1D. We are adamant and herewith request that the City of Sand Ana ehher take the matter oN calendar for further review by the City Attorney and/or any Other departments needed to establish Bald ownership ofthat property or that the City Council abolish all further discussion onthismamerarddrminatemld Application with no further discusson.
