Do not click links or open attachments unless you recognize the sender and are expecting the message. Dear Mayor Pro-Tem and City Council Members, I wish to address a couple of concerns, in reference to item numbers 3 and 13 on this current agenda, an ongoing issue for our neighborhood that we have been living with for years. This has not been addressed by various City of Anaheim Departments for said years, although they were all aware of it. I believe it would be a good thing to for the city to acquire the Anaheim Lodge Motel property, located at 837 S. Beach Boulevard, for revitalization of this corridor and to move forward with plans for housing. However, unless the CUP for said property is at least adhered to, I cannot see quality of life improving for those who reside in the Twila Reid neighborhood, directly adjacent (over the wall) to this motel, and frankly, all the other remaining motels along that stretch, either. For years The City of Anaheim has acknowledged that this retaining block wall is not up to code and should be addressed, by building another wall on the property(ies) of said motels, which would not only bring it up to code, but would also be adhering to the CUP attached to each property of respective motel. This City Council, and City Staff as well, have the chance to do the right thing for constituents/surrounding neighbors of this neighborhood. It appeared they were doing the right thing by voting “YES” on April 12, 2022 for the enforcement of this 8 foot block to be built. So, what is happening to this block wall our neighborhood was promised? The sale of the Anaheim Lodge Motel property I want to address with you in this respect. What happens to this wall? Does it now slip through another crack? I need to give you a picture of what life is like for the neighbors who live on the other side of this 4.5 foot wall. It's not safe for them. Throughout the years many have trespassed in their yards. Alcohol bottles, needles, and other trash are routinely tossed into their yards. Homeowners/residents cannot enjoy their backyards, the way they should be able to. One house (behind the Covered Wagon) is for sale and just sits. Those homes are much harder to sell to perspective buyers, because of this living condition. One neighbor had to erect a net along the walls, covering his backyard, so he can protect his yard and have a garden without debris coming in from the other side of the wall. This has been an ongoing issue for this neighborhood for years. And, the city continues to ignore it... So, when those homes along Hayward Street (adjacent to motels) sell for a lot less, because of these safety and quality of life issues, guess who else suffers? Everybody in the neighborhood. These homes are our comparables. 1 NOBODY in this neighborhood wins... I'm sure you wouldn't like to be plagued with these issues where you live. So, now you have the chance to do the right thing and make sure that either this current property owner of the Anaheim Lodge Motel builds this wall, OR The City of Anaheim builds in the process of this acquisition/sale of said property. Also, it is also a concern that language should be added to the resolution to make sure any product that Anaheim Housing Authority plan for will be in alignment with the Beach Boulevard Specific Plan. I am attaching pictures of the houses along this street and how their living condition looks living adjacent to those motels. Cypress trees have been planted in between in some spots and you can still see some windows through them and it doesn't stop people from throwing stuff into the yards. Also, the Covered Wagon property had an eyesore of a broken window, that has been broken for at least two years. That motel is directly adjacent to the house that just sits on the market. :-( Thank you for your consideration regarding these matters. Sincerely, Tracy Urueta, 2 . `�� . .- �: -�: �f • • , �• • � � ,, � � . ►� • �� �. � �.
