Hossein Malakooti 50 Amberleaf Irvine, CA 92614 (949) 929-5634 April 26, 2005 City of Santa Ana Planning Department. Re: ModificationslRevisions to DP 2004-42 (Variance) 801 North Ross St. Santa Ana, CA 92702 Dear Sir. Our original plan was to develop a building approximately 2600 square feet of which approximately 1300 square feet would have been a dental office and the rest general office space at above site. After considering the cost of development of the project which includes a large sum of offsite improvement costs including but not limited to the reconstruction of the entire side walk along Ross St to the east as well as the entire side walk along Civic Center Drive to the south of the property and widening and repaving ofthe alley to the east. If under any circumstances the dental office does not succeed and the space is to be leased, as office space the income generated is not sufficient enough to sustain the property, furthermore the site is better suited for general office use. We have proposed a 2-story office building approximately 4,200 square feet. Of the many different design schemes we developed and presented to the planning department staff the current one seems to be the best option. The landscape area to the east of the parking lot abutting the alley has been reduced by approximately 63 square feet, in lieu of that we have made the planters along Ross St to the west as well as the one on the east side along the alley and south side much larger which will be planted with larger trees visible from Civic center Drive. As with our previous submittal and discussions through out this project we are always open and welcome any suggestions the planning department may have with regards to exterior color and material to be used, treatment elements as well as any landscaping concerns they may have. Sincerely. Hossein Malakooti 7-(~l1d~ ~~t3
