From:jayne munoz <br />To:eComment <br />Subject:Property of Mike Ness <br />Date:Wednesday, May 10, 2017 7:35:08 AM <br />Dear Santa Ana City Council Members, <br />This letter is in support of neighbor Mike Ness’s request to build a fence (or wall) around his property on the corner <br />of 19th and Heliotrope Drive in Santa Ana. <br />My husband and I have lived in Santa Ana for the past 32 years; we own two homes here: one on Freeman Lane and <br />our current home on Victoria Drive. We love Santa Ana; we value our neighbors; and we are proud of our <br />neighborhood. Within the past year it has come to our attention that two of our neighbors have attempted to make <br />improvements on their properties, including building walls around the front yards. Our next door neighbor was even <br />considerate enough to actually show us the landscape architect’s plan. Unfortunately, the City did not approve the <br />plan, so the Langs were forced to compromise their original dream. Now, it seems that another neighbor, Mike <br />Ness, is facing a similar conflict with the City concerning his hope to build a wall. <br />I am confused about the City’s position and I would like to state for the record that there are several homes in Floral <br />Park that are surrounded by attractive walls, two are on our street. What makes Floral Park so special is that no two <br />homes are exactly alike. Our uniqueness is one of the reasons why many people from all over Orange County and <br />beyond flock to participate in our annual Home Tour. <br />Lastly, I would like to ask you to be as open to Mike Ness as you once were to Sandy DeAngelis, who build a <br />garage in front of her home, which was forbidden to other residents on Victoria Drive. Your consideration for Ms. <br />DeAngelis proved to be a good decision; she designed a beautiful home that truly enhanced our neighborhood. I am <br />confident that Mr. Ness with show the same good judgement, and I am also certain that the council will be as fair <br />and gracious to Mr. Ness as it was to Ms. DeAngelis. (just please don’t make it so unaffordable for him that he too <br />will be forced to abandon his dream). <br />Sincerely, <br />Jayne Munoz <br />2105 N Victoria Drive <br />35
