Alcala, Abigail <br />From: Christy Allen < <br />Sent: Tuesday, November 19, 2024 3:26 PM <br />To: eComment <br />Subject: Appeal #2024-06 written comments for tonight's meeting <br />Attention: This email originated from outside of City of Santa Ana. Use caution when opening attachments or links. <br />Santa Ana City Counsel, <br />I grew up on Flower Street near Santa Clara in the 1970s and 80s, and I now reside at 2036 Greenleaf Street, which is <br />one block over from the project being discussed. This is longstanding residential neighborhood, which I have loved living <br />in as a child and now as an adult. Regarding the issue at hand, I believe the fair course of action now is to repeal the <br />planning commission's decision to approve a conditional use permit for the construction of an accessory structure 23 - <br />24 feet high in the backyard of 2221 N. Heliotrope. <br />The plain fact is that this is a residential area, not a museum or business district. This is a place where people live. <br />Having a 23 or 24 foot structure would be visible to nearby neighbors and also visible through the opening of a wall to <br />the front yard facing Heliotrope. The owners of the house have already built a number of structures that look like they <br />are creating a cultural center or park, complete with signs with the names of sculptures in the front yard. It's not <br />appropriate or fair to the neighborhood to build this new structure that has been approved by the planning commission. <br />I'm asking the city council to please take action to repeal this decision. Thank you. <br />Sincerely, <br />Christen Allen <br /> <br /> <br />
