Mitre -Ramirez, Norma <br />From: Frank Mitchell <frankfacts@yahoo.com> <br />Sent: Saturday, February 17, 2018 1:10 PM <br />To: eComment; Frank Mitchell; Fred Calhoun; Cindy Brown; Dianne Anderson <br />Subject: Accessory Dwelling Units - planned restrictions - February 2018 <br />Categories: Correspondence <br />Dear Council -members: <br />You are planning to ADD RESTRICTIONS on A.D.U. to be designed and built on private single-family <br />residential lots in Santa Ana. I'm OPPOSED to any more restrictions, as to what property owners wish to <br />do with their own home lots ---exceptions: valid concerns, such as negative impact on historical or "ultra- <br />high" value custom estates, and "unusually small lots (less than 4,000 square feet in size, and streets less <br />than 30 feet wide). <br />Other than that, there should be NO restrictions as to an A.D,U. being one, or two -stories in height. <br />Proper architectural design standards ---now in place with the City Planning department ---plus sensible <br />design review, by senior planners, is all that is needed without LEGISLATIVE ORDINANCE RESTRICTING <br />AND UNFAIRLY PENALIZING homeowners in improving their property. "Added vehicle parking and travel, <br />on residential streets where A.D.U. are built, is NOT a valid reason to restrict two-story units." More <br />children; more relatives, DOES NOT mean "MORE VEHICLES ON A STREET. <br />Please, do not implement a "no two-story A.D.U. ordinance" in this city. We have had enough government <br />restrictions on people's property, except as indicated in the first paragraph. <br />Thank you. <br />Frank Mitchell, III. <br />1920 S.
