Salas, Diana From: Suzanne Blau <shb2417@gmail.com> Sent: Monday, November 18, 2019 11:14 AM To: Sarmiento, Vicente; Iglesias, Cecilia; Penaloza, David; Pulido, Miguel; eComment; Solorio, Jose; Villegas, Juan Subject: 2525 Main Street My name is Suzanne Blau and I have lived and owned my home in Park Santiago since February 2002. I email you today to respectfully urge you to vote "no" on the 2525 Main Street project. My objections to this project are multiple and varied, but here I will share just a few: 1. Wrong size and density for this location-- even at smaller overall size, the project is still too dense (58.0 DUA) and totally inconsistent with the surrounding area (single-family residential neighborhood, museum corridor) 2. Requires rezoning and General Plan amendment when current zoning is VERY appropriate 3. Developer has NOT played fairly; improper coercive tactics, misinformation to both Planning Commission and City Council, demonstrating utter disrespect and disregard for Commissioners and Councilmembers, as well as for the Park Santiago community (I can provide examples if desired) 4. Safety, safety, safety -- grave concerns for the inevitability of accidents and fatalities on account of re- positioned traffic lights; proposed pedestrian crosswalk too close to a major, already hazardous, intersection; proposed implementation of extended left-hand turn lanes, etc. Do you really want to knowingly subject the City to such obvious liability? 5. Not necessary- there are infinite POSITIVE options for this property, consistent with its current zoning and location. The Park Santiago and other neighborhoods are supportive of responsible development, but the project proposal before you is NOT RESPONSIBLE NOR NECESSARY DEVELOPMENT!! I look forward to your replies and your consideration. Sincerely, Suzanne Blau 2417 Oakmont Avenue Santa Ana, CA 92706 Email: shb2417@gmail.com Tele: 714-474-8383
