I agree with a <br />large number of people in the community who feel that con- <br />structing a 37 story building in downtown Santa Ana is a bad <br />idea. Why does the council feel that Santa Ana requires a sky- <br />scraper to bring it "prestige"? Santa Ana is a beautiful city <br />already; and a structure that is quite a bit taller than most <br />of the buildings here would look very out of place. Old Town <br />Orange is considered unique because the buildings were built <br />100 years ago. There are several old buildings in the area <br />that could be restored to accommodate new businesses. <br /> <br />This new building would create a multitude of problems includ- <br />ing an increase in already hectic traffic, an increase of wear <br />and tear on the roads themselves, the current infrastructure <br />will be unable to support the needs represented by the build- <br />ing, 37 stories worth of extra sewage and trash, and a need for <br />more parking space. <br /> <br />This parking issue could cause problems specifically for the <br />Orange County High School of the Arts. It could cut out a <br />piece, or all, of their senior and volunteer parking. The <br />attending students give back to the community quite frequently <br />through the purchase of food and merchandise from the local <br />businesses, as well as with many service hours. <br /> <br />75E-71 <br />
