Thomas Gorham,
Please reject any development and/or permit requests for the owner(s) of property 1204 North
Brookhurst Ave located on my block. I live 5 houses away from that property and have resided at
my Anaheim home for over 14 years. Today and within the last two years, I have been extremely
frustrated and concerned about my family's safety in my neighborhood. I cannot walk in my block for
fear that transient and unhouse people will harm me or my seven-year-old son. It is hard to imagine
that the city of Anaheim would grant building development requests to the owner of the unsecured
property of 1204 Brookhurst Ave, given the owner's irresponsible track record and disregard for
keeping our neighborhood safe. This is especially appalling since I presume that this property has
cost the city a wealth of money for the resources allotted to handle issues at the property (police,
dispatchers, firefighters, human waste clean-up services, code enforcement, etc.).
In calling the Police and Code enforcement for incidents we witness in our back ally, my husband and
I are met with the same rhetoric about how the owner has placed locks on their property and does not
wish to dispatch the police for any breaking and entering of their property. The locks do not work
because I see at least 3-5 people walking in and out of that property (through the garage and gates)
daily! This shows that the owner does not care for their property and disregards the concerns of the
surrounding neighbors and their families.
My husband has made an alarming number of crime reports to the Anaheim police and the Anaheim
citations department regarding incidents in the unsecured lot at 1204 North Brookhurst Ave.
I'm only listing a few here, but not all.

Until these concerns are addressed and I stop seeing people break into the property at
1204 North Brookhurst Ave, I strongly oppose any request for development at that unsecured lot.
