<br />CK <br />@D <br /> <br />Charles, Kane & Dye LLP <br /> <br />June 6, 2005 <br /> <br />REFER TO FILE NO.: <br />20500.001 <br /> <br />VIA E-MAIL AND <br />FffiST CLASS MAIL <br /> <br />City of Santa Ana <br />20 Civic Center Plaza <br />Santa Ana, CA 92702 <br />Attn: Mr. Vince Fregoso <br /> <br />Re: MacArthur Place South <br /> <br />Dear Mr. Fregoso: <br /> <br />As a follow-up to my letters of April 18, 2005 and May 20, 2005, regarding the <br />Environmental Impact Report ("EIR") for MacArthur Place South on behalf of DoubleTree Club Hotel, <br />Orange County Airport located at 7 Hutton Center Drive, Santa Ana, California ("DoubleTree"). I have <br />reviewed the revised Shared Parking Study dated May, 2005 and prepared by Kaku Associates <br />(" Parking Study"). <br /> <br />The Parking Study emphasizes the point that the proposed project lacks adequate parking. <br />First, I assume reference in the parkingE- y"lli '-'-~iott Hotel" is mistaken and meant to be <br />DoubleTree. Second, the recorded . king A . ent which benefits DoubleTree provides <br />DoubleTree with fifty (50) parking spaces, . t th n -- 've (25) spaces which is mistakenly cited in <br />the Parking Study. Had the Parking Study 'ed the fifty (50) spaces to be provided to <br />DoubleTree under the Parking Agreem 'ts 0 account, the proposed project requires <br />another ninety nine (99) parking spaces (s d ev with the shared parking analysis utilized <br />in the Parking Study, the proposed project 1 eighty two (82) spaces (see the summary <br />on Page 9). As described in the Planning Commission hearing on May 23, 2005, Hutton Centre already <br />has parking problems without the proposed project, which only increases the parking problems. <br /> <br />The failure to adequately address the insufficient parking in Hutton Centre causes the EIR to be <br />deficient. The proposed project should not be approved until the parking problems are resolved. <br /> <br />If you should have any questions regarding the foregoing, please do not hesitate to contact me. <br /> <br />SMK:mjc <br />5: \Steve\ Doubletree\ Ltr.
