Glad to see that the council passed an ordinance allowing 6 chickens instead of 5. That is definitely more important than addressing the illegal non conforming structure in OPA.

The city covering the cost of removing trees is a bad public policy decision. Not to mention the hit from the community as they hear yet again what the "Orange Way" really means. Disheartening and very very sad.

With the City on the brink of bankruptcy, it is ridiculous for the City to consider spending $99K to remove healthy pine trees along Serrano currently maintained by Maybury Ranch HOA. There is nothing wrong with wall along the south side of Serrano. The arborist's report is inaccurate. However, there are several other areas within the City of Orange's right of way that are overgrown and mismanaged. Why don't we maintain those? The first 2 pictures below are an example of current City properties with overgrown & poorly maintained trees. The third picture is a group of beautiful pines along Maybury Ranch wall. Note the wall is perfectly maintained.

Agenda Item: eComments for 9.4. Presentation of Orange Yards vision for development in the West Katella gateway area.

Dear Mayor Slater and Members of the City Council,
On behalf of Chapman University, I want to express our enthusiastic support for the development of the Orange Y ards district at the northwest gateway area to the City of Orange.

Chapman has been engaged in the visioning process for Orange Y ards, and we see this area as an asset to the City’s economic development program. We look forward to seeing what, ultimately, unfolds within the district and the innovative opportunities for collaboration that may arise in the future.

Sincerely,
Matt Parlow
President-Elect
Chapman University
