Holden Project - Opposition to project
Dear City Council Members,
The location being considered for this large development is flawed.
The first reason is there is already too much traffic. As it is now, before the increase in traffic from this project, it takes
me 10 minutes to turn left onto Nohl Ranch coming out of Point Quissette, the community across the street from the
Proposed project. (Another traffic light would have to be installed before adding any more crush to the traffic in this
area. People come down Nohl Ranch so fast that the block wall marquee on my backyard easement had to be repaired /
replaced twice recently from people crashing into it after underestimating that curve. )
The second reason is that this is a quiet bedroom neighborhood, free from commercial noise and after hours activity. A
24 hour assisted living center is bound to have numerous ambulances and emergency service vehicles frequenting it due
to falls and the varying medical needs of its residents. The sirens and disruption to our peaceful Anaheim Hills oasis will
never be the same once this development comes in.
Third; the aesthetic of the development is not suited to this strictly residential neighborhood. Look around - there are no
multistory commercial structures anywhere between Meats and Imperial Highway off of Nohl Ranch, until you get to
Orange on the West end. Then the aesthetic clearly changes. Anaheim Hills should be preserved as a quiet bedroom
community with lots of trees, wildlife and meandering sidewalks. Once you sell that off, there is no restoring it. There
are plenty of other lots in Anaheim to develop into this type of structure.
In closing, the church that was there had minimal traffic; did not make traffic worse at key traffic times; and was a single
story structure that fit in with the neighborhood. Another church tenant or development of the lot into regular housing
parcels would be more suited than the Holden Project.
As a resident here for 15 years, I strongly oppose this development.
