Fairhaven Ave. Orange, Ca 92866 Oral presentation is based on the written staff report; please refer to your copy. Chairman Beil opened the public hearing for the following discussion. Christina Snow — 851 S. Woodbury Dr . — concerned with traffic pouring onto the street from the condominiums and apartments by Stater Bros. They leave trash and are rude to the residents who live on that street. Can't back out of driveway safely. Believe proposed solution won't work in their case, those looking for parking would eventually make their way onto Woodbury. Bob Ralston — 1511 E. Fairhaven Ave — Also concerned with the amount of garbage dumped on the streets. Because ticketing officers don't always follow the sweepers street can't be swept and trash cans can't be picked up. Creating a traffic hazard and nuisance to residents. Homeowners association for the condo complex charges for parking spaces and that's why the overflow parking ends up in fort of the Fairhaven homes. Backing out is a hazard. Annette Flores — 881 S. Woodbury Dr. — believes traffic studies being done on Fairhaven are not occurring at the appropriate times. They have had a vehicle stolen because they don't know who's coming /going from the neighborhood. Safety concerns for her children and all the trash left behind. They have been confronted by angry people parking on their street. Trash cans get moved so others can park and the trash doesn't get picked up. They have applies for neighborhood parking permits and were denied. Rose Boggs — 1521 E. Fairhaven Ave — Concerned about safety and protection. Mailman can't deliver mail. Has placed noticed asking them not to block mailboxes and has gotten negative reactions and confronted by parkers. Had to call paramedics for medical assistance and they couldn't find the address due to all the cars, when they did Cityof A digital recording of this City Traffic Commission meeting can be made available for your review and /or purchase. ran ge Please contact the Recording Secretary at (714) 744 -5536 in this regard, advance notice is appreciated.
