2 I implore you to ensure that this does not happen.
Also at issue are the following:
1. Parking will be an issue because the new owners may or may not use the designated garages, may have more than two cars per condo, or may have multiple visitors necessitating more parking. At Parkdale we will have to issue parking permits to ensure new owners will not park on the Parkdale property. Additionally, this may cause parking issues on Dale and the flower tract housing nearby.
2. Safe entrance and exit into new condos from Peppertree drive. Currently there are no stop signs in this area and there will have to appropriate stop signs for merging into any traffic from the new entry way onto Peppertree.
3. Please ensure that new utilities are created for the new development that DOES NOT TIE INTO THE CURRENT PARKDALE SUPPLY.
I will be attending the Anaheim meeting on June 6, 2022 but wanted to ensure that you had access to these major concerns prior to the meeting. I am hoping that you will be able to review and respond to this email.
Thank you in advance for your consideration.

Hello,
I am a resident of Parkdale HOA in Anaheim. I have read your documents and I take extreme issue with your calculation for parking. Parking is already an issue in our Association and many residents must already park 2 tenths of a mile from their homes. This is difficult for older residents. Already, a significant number of people in the complex park on Dale to the point where Dale is full up to Boiseranc park on most nights.
Your planning says that this development contains 5 more parking slots than required (41 spots with 36 being in two car garages.) Of those 5 spots one is EV charging, limiting that spot and the other is labeled for Handicapped. There are only 3 real open spaces beyond garages for 18 families!
A cursory search of data for the US Department of Energy shows that 25% of people with 2 car garages don’t park even a single car in them and 33% only park 1 car in them. The National average for each family is 2 cars. So while your calculations of needing 36 parking spots is correct, your calculations of how many spots are provided and the impact it will have on the community is vastly underrepresented.
25% of 18 is 4.5, so 4 units will likely not park a single car in their garage. 33% of 18 is 6, so 6 units will likely park only one car in the garage. That means of those 36 garage spaces, based on known usage patterns a cross the US, 14 cars will now need a parking spot. Most likely 3‐4 of them will park in the outside spaces provided but maybe 5 if one of them happens to have a placard. This doesn’t account for these 18 families ever having guests or visitors.
Here’s the crux of the issue. The area, already impacted parking‐wise, now must find a way to support 9‐11 more vehicles! And that is just on a normal day. On the weekend, when people are most likely to have guests visit, the parking will be even worse. This will force Parkdale HOA to implement parking permits or other measures for its parking issues.
Parkdale will likely need to increase towing to enforce these new permits. The animosity between associations will grow and who knows where this all leads.
This project is ill conceived and requires more consideration for parking. I recommend a new plan be drawn up to either increase the number of parking spots in the new association, to account for these additional 9 vehicles, or decrease the number of units to a more reasonable level for parking.
Sincerely,
Greg Bird

PARKDALE THOA OPPOSITION / REQUESTS FOR REVIEW
1442 DALE
Historical Landmark
The farm home at 1442 Dale was considered an historical property by Parkdale THOA and its residents as is has significant history for over 50 years with the City of Buena Park and Anaheim.
Many residents purchased their homes in Parkdale thinking this home could not be demolished or developed on. It was believed to be protected by the City of Anaheim and the Buena Park Historical Society. The development of this property has an impact on the homeowners who purchased their properties with this belief.
Air Quality and Traffic Noise Analysis Report
Parkdale THOA homeowners in years prior have requested sound survives and air quality impact reports from CALTRANS as they live within 500 feet of two major freeways. Harmful levels of vehicle pollution effects are a concern for Parkdale THOA homeowners.
California air quality regulators warn against building 500 or even 1,000 feet from a freeway.
Traffic pollution is high, which brings concerns for asthma, cancer, heart attacks, strokes, reduced lung function, pre-term births and a growing list of other health problems.
Parkdale THOA is requesting 1442 Dale obtain an air quality report and a noise analysis report prior to approval of building. Parkdale THOA is requiring reports obtained by 1442 Dale are shared with the homeowners of Parkdale THOA.
Easement
The easement was neglected by the owner of 1442 Dale. The owner has not contributed prior or currently to the maintenance, budgeting, and costs for the streets or utilities within this easement.
A large portion of the easement has not been used by this property since 1975 and Parkdale considered it abandon by 1442 Dale. 1442 Dale used the alleyway on Pepper Tree Drive exclusively and only to access their property. The circumstances that existed at the time of the easement conveyance did not give the implication that future development(s) would create a burden upon Parkdale THOA.
1442 Dale has well water and a septic system. Parkdale has private sewer and water lines on this easement. Parkdale lines are older and at almost life expectancy that an upgrade could not accommodate. An over burden of these lines will cause a negative impact to Parkdale THOA.
Utilities
1. Parkdale THOA requests the developer of 1442 Dale does NOT access Parkdale THOA private sewer lines and water lines.
2. Alternatively, Parkdale THOA requests written proof the new installation will not in any way impact Parkdale THOA. The burden of proof is to be provided by the developer from the City of Buena Park and Anaheim.
3. And, further, if 1442 is permitted to connect to Parkdale THOA utilities in the easement area, then 1442 will be required to upgrade all the utilities in order to guarantee that the use by 1442 will not in any way impact Parkdale THOA; and further, all costs got any improvements to any of the system, including but not limited to, said upgrades will be the sole responsibility of the developer.
PARKING AND COMMON AREAS
1. Parkdale THOA requests the new property at 1442 Dale be a subassociation, Parkdale THOA to be the master associations. Dues payments would be required for the usage of parking, pool area, clubhouse, common area landscaping, and streets.
2. If a subassociation is not agreed upon, Parkdale THOA requests the new property at 1442 Dale record in their CC&Rs they are NOT a subassociation of Parkdale THOA and therefore all common areas and amenities are restricted for use at all times. Access to their public streets, parking, pool area, clubhouse, and common area landscaping are for the use of Parkdale THOA residents only.
3. Parkdale THOA requests the new property at 1442 Dale have written into their CC&Rs garages are exclusively for parking of vehicles only and required.
4. Parkdale THOA requests that it be made clear, that there to be no parking by 1442 Dale owners, residents, and guests (invitees). This is to be recorded/addendum added to the deed, as well as in the CC&Rs. The easement and private streets may not be parked upon and limited driving use only.
5. The above provisions, which are to be added to the CC&Rs, will not be subject to amendment.
FROM KELLY BROGDON
2 use veficles (file, police, paramedics). Also the alley is where A/C units get installed on to the roof top via crane as well as deliveries for wash/dryers, freezers etc.
The aforfementioned was liely not considered when the easement was put into place and I continue to implore the City Council and the builder to not use the alley way as an access point for all of the above reasons.
The residents of Parkdale including myself ar worriend about the following:
1. Use of Parkdale existing utilities electric and Buena Park water. It would be great to have the new development have its own water and electricity lines for a multitude of reasons such as wear nd tear and financial responsi bilirt for repair and to ensur eeach property is charged correctly. . 2. Issue with refuse pick‐up at the new location and lenksuring that the new units will be charged accordingly
3. Environmental impact study with respect to noise (measured in decibels) and density of this number of units in a space that is less than 1 acre and multiple more vehicles adding to the smog and air quality in the area. Has there been a noise study to include the noise decibels emanating from the freeway, new a/c units for the condo, and the condo units. Please advise if you can.
4. Cap the current well and receive documented paperwork that this has been completed prfoperly from an environmental perspective.
5. Remove properly the septic tank that is currently in place without leaving sewage in the area – documenttation that the builder has accomplished this safely and satisfactorily would be great.
Although I initially wanted an 8 foot brick fence surrounding the community and especially in the Peppertree alley it seems reasonable now to agree that 6 foot concrete as a division for the new community would be satisfactory (along with the 4 way stop) that was already agreed to on Peppertree drive.
Please forward to the City Council members for review including the pictures of the alley in the back. Thank you again for all of your assistance and support to ensure Parkdale residents have their concerns heard and hopefully supported.
FIRST EMAIL PREVIOUSLY SENT TO YOU
Hello Mr. Taylor,
I am emailing about the 1442 N. Dale project for 18 new condos. There are some concerns with this construction however there is one that is the most salient and critical.
I reside at which is the townhouse and garage closest to the entry of the current fence (rear) which is directly next to the fence that can currently open. Hence, I am concerned with the Peppertree alley where eight townhomes are along the alley way. I have seen the plans and I am aware that they can change. Currently there is no access for the cndos to exit via the Peppertree alley by vehicle and I hope this will not change and there will be an 8 or 10 foot block wall along the new community. The residents whose garages go through the Peppertree alley are quite concerned that there will be no access for the new condos via the alley for the following reasons:
1. Alley is very narrow and when a resident backs out from the garage it takes about 90% of the way for a subcompact car to exit the garage. There is no room for 2 way traffic. To allow the condos to enter and exit this access via a car would likely lead to many many accidents. When backing out of a garage there is no way to see anyone else coming or going until one is in the midst of the alley. Hence, exiting like this is in terms of the Parkdale residents along this alley is blind and will lead to accidents. I am attaching a picture of my car backing out so that you will see how narrow the alley is. Additionally because of the location of the 5 freeway (behind Peppertree alley) many times a cars unfamiliar with
3 the area will drive down Dale street looking for the entrance to the freeway and will turn into and go down the Peppertree alley looking for the freeway and will have to turn around and go back to Dale.
2. There is a fire zone (red curb) so that firemen can access the rear of the garages for all current Peppertree homeowners. Currently in Parkdale all alley ways have the ability for fire access ensuring safety for the community residents.
3. Another major issue to ensure that the new planned community will not have an approved car access is for the delivery of items such as water heaters, washer and dryer, new air conditioners (goes onto roof), and delivery of a jacuzzi to the backyard . I have lived here for 30 years and have needed to use this alley for delivery of items by crane.
4. The alley width was primarily made this narrow as there were only eight townhomes and the farmhouse residents to use this access. The alley way was not designed to support increased traffic with 18 condos who may each have two to four vehicles per condo.
I implore you to ensure that this does not happen.
Also at issue are the following:
1. Environmental issues – Is there a documengted study for the environment inpact noise and desity with this number of \ units in a less than 1 acre space. Parking will be an issue because the new owners may or may not use the designated garages, may have more than two cars per condo, or may have multiple visitors necessitating more parking. At Parkdale we will have to issue parking permits to ensure new owners will not park on the Parkdale property. Additionally, this may cause parking issues on Dale and the flower tract housing nearby.
2. Safe entrance and exit into new condos from Peppertree drive. Currently there are no stop signs in this area and there will have to appropriate stop signs for merging into any traffic from the new entry way onto Peppertree.
3. Please ensure that new utilities are created for the new development that DOES NOT TIE INTO THE CURRENT PARKDALE SUPPLY.
I will be attending the Anaheim meeting on June 6, 2022 but wanted to ensure that you had access to these major concerns prior to the meeting. I am hoping that you will be able to review and respond to this email.

The California Renters Legal Advocacy and Education Fund (CaRLA) submitsthis letter to informtheAnaheimPlanningCommissionthat theyhaveanobligationto abide by all relevant state housing laws when evaluating the 1442 North DaleAvenue 18-Unit condominium project. The Housing Accountability Act (Gov. CodeSection 65589.5) requires approval of zoning and general plan compliant projects,such as this one, unless findings canbe made regarding specific, objective, writtenhealth and safety hazards. These impacts must be unmitigable, and must beestablished through a preponderance of evidence. As indicated in the Sta Reportprepared for the June 6thPlanningCommissionMeeting, theproposeddevelopmentwould comply withall of the city’sobjectivezoningandgeneral planstandards, andno evidence of adverse health and safety impacts exists.As you are well aware, California remains in the throes of a statewidecrisis-levelhousingshortage.Newhousingsuchasthisisapublicbenefit.Itwillbringincreasedtaxrevenue, newcustomerstolocalbusinesses,decarbonizationinthefaceof theclimatecrisis, but most importantly, it willreducethedisplacementofexistingresidents into homelessness or carbon-heavy car commutes. The laws cited inthisletter are designed to allow and require cities to approve of new homes over theobjectionof a small minority of neighbors. Researchindicatesthat theanti-housingvoices frequent inpublic hearings are disproportionatelywhite, higher-income, andhomeowners. These voices do not represent the best interests of Anaheimor the 1 broadercommunity. Approvingdevelopmentslikethisoneoverthesevocalobjectionsis a step towards racial, economic, environmental, and social justice. We urgeAnaheimto approve of this project becauseit istheright decisionfortheCityandisrequired by state law. 1 Einstein, Palmer, and Glick,Who Participates inLocal Government?
