Letter to the city
To whom this may concern
I am writing in regards to the Issue of the horrible out of place inappropriate apartment
complex that is being proposed for Deer Canyon!! This project is so absurdly inappropriate
for our area and would cause the people of Anaheim Hills and surrounding areas horrific
Imposition on their lives and their welfare and on their property! There would be absolutely
no reason at all for this to be approved unless someone is getting paid off as it is are
putting your positions to serve the people of our community snd make no mistake Our
whole community does not want this project built.! Not only is this project a Hazzard and
danger to everyone who lives up here and has to face the dangers of the fires that come
through our area.. That already we have no safe escape routes for the amount of people
that already exist here, no safe escape routes for the children in the schools, ways to get to
their children in school to evacuate and for emergency vehicles! The people of The Salt
Project knew exactly what they were buying when they bought it .. which was 16 houses!
Other than pure greed, there is absolutely no reason why that should be turned into 500+
houses! Because of the extreme fire danger they cannot become condos because no
insurance company would insure them so they had to become apartments with people
that would be coming in and out moving in and out! There has been no provisions from the
Salt Company to pay for the extra burden on our schools, Teachers , supplies, buses or on
our police for extra policemen , extra cars, extra security on our streets, widening them or
coming up with ways to mitigate the extended traffic.! The area I live in is half acre
1
minimum with some require 1 acre minimum. We bought our homes on the premise that
that would not change. I could not go down to the city and get them to change my one half
acre to allow me to put four houses on it. What gives you the right to allow them exceptions
that we as Anaheim residents who have lived here and paid taxes for 50 years Do not
get?!!!! The value of our properties will drop tremendously as people see the dreadlocks
and nightmare of trying to go down the street that we access our houses from every single
evening and on weekends!! If they did not put a light where the complex is going, those
residents would not ever be able to pull out on Santa Ana Canyon during traffic hours!! This
would make our life in Anaheim Hills and all of your constituents life‘s a nightmare, and
what would it benefit the City Of Anaheim ??? Only people that are getting paid off by Salt
would benefit! I’m afraid that the city is really opening itself and each of the board
members to future lawsuits that would hurt the city as there is so many numerous things
that are going to come up, especially if there is a fire!!
The question has to be WHY WHY why would the people that we have elected to protect us, their
constituents vote for what is not beneficial but detrimental to us? WHY would any of our election
officials vote for a company from Utah That is going to come in , make a lot of money , destroy our lives
and Put us at extreme risk.. that has no way to be mitigated … no infrastructure, no way to be able to
handle all the additional children from 600 apartments, which could be 2 to 3 children per apartment,
2000+ cars coming in and out of there every single day and in the case of a fire where we already have a 3
1/2 hour evacuation time.. it’s really unconscionable that anyone of our elected officials could vote for
this and put us in this precarious and dangerous situation!! I employ you all to vote no to protect your
own Anaheim citizens!! There is No reason why this is approved unless someone is benefiting from this
and why would any of our officials want Salt to benefit from it at the detriment of their citizens? It makes
you ask WHY WHY would any of our officials vote for this project against their own constituents
wants????? The fire dangers have been made clear , this Council has been warned .. I implore you to
please do what is right for the people of this city that you represent!!

This vote from each of our board members and our mayor should be a hard No !
