As a resident of Canopy Lane, the community of newly constructed homes located <br />directly behind the market, we are looking forward to having a market within walking distance of our home. <br />While I am not contesting the CUP for alcohol sales, I was hoping to use this opportunity to bring up the topic <br />of the aesthetics of the building. I had initial concerns regarding paint color choices when the back <br />side of the building was painted a bright chartreuse green, but since the visibility was limited, this was not much <br />of an issue. However, the front of the store has recently been painted in preparation for the store opening. The <br />color palette for the shopping center generally consists of an olive green and subtle tones of brown. Super King <br />has been painted with a green, but it is more of a Christmas green against a strong cherry red. Additionally, the <br />accent details on the sides of the store have been painted a bright mustard yellow in contrast to the less <br />obtrusive maize color used throughout the rest of the <br />center. For your reference, photos are attached. <br />I will respect whatever decision the Council and Planning Commission ultimately decides on this matter, but as <br />someone who was born and <br />raised in Santa Ana and who chose to proudly purchase a home here to raise my family, I hope that this issue of <br />paint choices be strongly considered as we work together to uphold the property values in our beautiful city. <br />Respectfully, <br />Vangie Ramirez <br />( <br />
