Dear City of Anaheim Council,
I am writing to express my opposition to the Deer Canyon Project. While I recognize the state housing
requirements, I believe this particular project poses significant risks to our community and the
environment that cannot be overlooked.
Firstly, the increase in traffic and population density resulting from the project will exacerbate existing
infrastructure challenges. Our roads are already strained, and adding more vehicles will lead to
congestion, increased pollution, and safety hazards for residents and wildlife alike. Evacuation will be
nearly impossible with our roads and the 91 freeway.
Moreover, the proposed project threatens the delicate ecosystem of Deer Canyon. This area is home to
diverse wildlife and unique plant species that contribute to our region's biodiversity. Disruption of their
habitat could lead to irreversible damage and the loss of these natural resources.
Additionally, I am concerned about the long-term effects on our community's quality of life. Anaheim
Hills is a suburb of Anaheim. The charm and tranquility are essential to our identity, and the proposed
development could undermine the very qualities that make our community special. I choose to drive
about an hour each way to work, to live in this charming community. Adding the two proposed
apartment complexes and the traffic will make it feel like a city.
I urge you to reconsider the Deer Canyon Project and prioritize sustainable development that respects
both our community and the environment. Thank you for considering my perspective on this important
issue. I can already think of better places for a development like this one that is not in West Anaheim.
Sincerely,
Kerilyn Counter
Resident of Anaheim Hills, CA 92807
