Hello,
I desperately URGE the Planning Commission to DENY this project going forward. I live in the neighborhood
at the intersection of Festival Dr. and Roosevelt Blvd. My neighborhood will be DIRECTLY impacted by this
project. I outline some concerns below.
Evacuation concerns: Adding more vehicles on the road causes aSEVERE danger to current
residents. During the devastating fire evacuation in Anaheim Hills not long ago, it took us several hours to
navigate away from our neighborhood. Adding more vehicles on this road will significantly impact our ability
to safely and efficiently evacuate from our homes.
Speeding: Festival Drive has a serious speeding issue. Although speed bumps were installed to slow the traffic,
they still come flying around the bend at the intersection of Roosevelt and Festival Drive. I live off of Bauer
Road, and I can't tell you how many times I have almost been T-boned by vehicles soaring right in front of me
as they try to avoid the traffic on Santa Ana Canyon and head down Monte Vista Rd as an alternative. I am a
mother of 3 children. My life and my children's lives will be in further danger of collisions should this project
go forward.
Congestion: During the morning rush hour, vehicles are backed up tremendously trying to get on to the 91
fwy. This project is near the heart of that congestion. Adding more vehicles to the morning commute will be
even more disruptive to the current situation. Us parents have enough trouble getting our children to school on
time. Please don't make us suffer more! The evening rush hour is even worse!
School Overcrowding: Our local schools are already operating at capacity. This project advertises that it is
trying to market young couples with no children. However, our community is afamily community. Those
couples married with no children, will eventually have children. Those future children will need a school to
attend. Our Orange Unified School District is already struggling financially and won't be able to support an
influx of more children.
Aesthetics: Anaheim hills is a beautiful community with no high rise buildings, other than a little cluster near
the freeway. We pay a lot to live in Anaheim Hills to get away from the high rise buildings and concrete jungle
neighborhoods. We love our parks, our hiking trails and our natural environment. Please don't take that away
from us.
Rumored Additional Complex: There are rumors of the local Cinema, just across this street from this project,
also being turned into an apartment complex. If that rumor is true, then the congestion and safety concerns will
be even more devastating. 1
Please STOP allowing these million dollar investors destroy Anaheim Hills.
Thank you for your time.
