February 1, 2024 <br />Page 2 <br />2. For some reason, unktiown to me, the Draft Report states that the alley is a, <br />Public Street Easement. It is not an Easement, it never was an Easement, <br />and I have pointed this out carefully to you in nay letters to you dated. <br />August 8, 2023, copy attached as Exhibit "A", and my letter to you dated <br />August 22, 2023, attached as Exhibit "B". Nothing has been presented to <br />rtie or to my clients that the alley in any way was ever a part of Lot 57, <br />which. is 2383 North Flower Street. The word "Easement" appears twice in <br />the first paragraph of the Background on page I of the Draft Report. <br />3. In the next paragraph under "Background", the property owners, report that <br />they have observed transients. I believe there are City Reports that clearly <br />indicate that the safest part of the City of Santa Ana is Floral Park and <br />Floral Park, has had the least number of police calls involving transients. <br />This is a bogus issue brought up by the Applicants in their attempt to obtain <br />some "free" land. <br />4. Page 2 of the Draft Report, in the second paragraph, says the alley would <br />fully revert to the owners at 2383 North Flower Street, and that is not <br />accurate. There is no reversion. There is no Easement over the property <br />for the benefit of the Applicants, so it cannot automatically revert. The <br />alley is fee simple absolute and belongs to the public and. if the alley is <br />vacated it would revert to the Public, unless the City Council determines it <br />should be giM to the Applicants. Again, this would be "free" land being <br />given to one lot to the detriment of all the other lots in the Floral Park area. <br />This seems very unusual to me in that the opposition to this actionhas <br />already obtained and provided to the City approximately 83 signatures <br />from residents of Floral Park stating their opposition to this action. by the <br />Council. <br />5. The word Easement is used again in the second paragraph and in other <br />portions of the Draft Report. <br />6,. The second to last paragraph on page 2 of the Draft Report is completely <br />wrong. Not in the fact that it accurately quotes the Commonwealth l-,and <br />Title Preliminary Title Reports, but that the Preliminary Title Reports are <br />incorrect, and I do not believe that the process of a Title Company should <br />be necessarily relied upon particularly in light of EXhibit "'A" attached to <br />this letter. <br />
