To: <publiccomment@anaheim.net>
I would like to voice my objection to the proposed SALT development along with the thousands of people
that oppose this. We moved to Anaheim Hills from Orange many years ago because we loved the simple,
natural beauty of the area. Living off the Mohler Loop feels as if we're away from the hustle and bustle of
city life even if it's only temporary. It's so important for my family's mental health to have this escape
each day as we come home from work and school. The proposed development is everything we ran away
from and loved about Anaheim Hills!! This type of development DOES NOT fit in our community. This is
not Irvine and we don't want it to become that type of city where luxury high rises have taken over the
whole community - an ugly concrete jungle so completely opposite Anaheim Hills. Not everyone wants to
live in a city with modern high rises etc... it's important we preserve our simple way of life, which is why
we all live in Anaheim Hills! The stress this will put on the residents is immense. Please consider the
mental health and happiness of the residents over the money. Aside from this, there are so many other
reasons this hideous project is detrimental to our neighborhood.
1. Traffic and gridlock on an already congested street. Try driving down Santa Ana Canyon in the
afternoon on a weekday! Complete nightmare as people try to bypass the 91 as we're just trying to get
home from work. Let's just add a 1,000 more cars, no big deal. Perfect example was yesterday Friday the
18th absolute horrible nightmare. People trying to bypass the 91 and Santa Ana Canyon were going down
Nohl Ranch Rd which also became a nightmare! And this is normal busy traffic, no fire! It took me 30
minutes to get home exiting Imperial and 1.3 miles to our home. Absolutely ridiculous that a project like
this is even being considered in this area.
2. Consider the above during a fire evacuation in a high fire risk zone. Is money more important than our
lives??
3. Schools. Where are these kids enrolling in schools? Or are we to believe the residents will have no kids
as the developers try to tell us. Do they think we're that stupid to believe them? The schools in the are are
already at capacity!

4. The disruption of the wildlife in Deer Canyon. How dare they call this a preservation? It's destruction of
nature and wildlife in disguise. Please don't fall for it!
I urge you to consider our lives, safety and well-being over the money! Consider the safety and
preservation of the wildlife over the money!
Thank you,
Anita Yacoub
