Thank you. <br />From: Magallon, Becky <br />Sent: Wednesday, June 18, 2014 8:42 AM <br />To: Huizar, Maria <br />Subject: FW: The Depot at Santiago Project <br />One more letter than went to my junk folder. <br />From: Isaac Norton [ mailto:inortondesignagmail.com] <br />Sent: Tuesday, June 17, 2014 3:11 PM <br />To: Magallon, Becky <br />Cc: Frank Thompson; Sean Coolidge <br />Subject: The Depot at Santiago Project <br />To: The Mayor and City Counsel Members of Santa Ana <br />C /O: Ms. Becky Magallon, Executive Assistant, City Manager's Office <br />I'm writing to express opposition to the Depot at Santiago Project as presented. I currently serve as Secretary <br />for the Santiago Street Lofts HOA. The HOA Board is also opposed to this project as presented, as are all <br />members of the community we've heard from thus far. Here are some of our concerns as well as demands: <br />1. We are not opposed to affordable housing per se, we are opposed to concentrating all or most of it <br />in one neighborhood (ours) without a master plan. <br />1. Our Logan neighborhood is a racially diverse community of working class and working <br />professionals. Framing this as a race or class issue is Race - baiting and is despicable. We <br />have invested in this community. We are the stakeholders. However well meaning, advocates <br />who do not live here are not stakeholders. They will not have to deal with any problems this <br />project will create once it's built, we will. <br />2. Santa Ana is a big city with plenty of underdeveloped properties: why is it pushing luxury <br />apartments in one neighborhood and affordable housing in ours? <br />3. Does the Santa Ana Police Department support concentrating affordable housing in this <br />neighborhood? <br />4. The developer is a for - profit corporation with a $3 million sweetheart deal from the city; they <br />are not doing this out of the goodness of their large corporate "heart1°. <br />2. No Traffic Impact study: this project should be halted immediately pending a traffic impact study. <br />
