Redesign or Stop the 19-Home Development on Mulholland and San Feliciano!

We just bought a house on San Feliciano across the street from the open space in question. We fell in love with the view of all the oak trees, from our front door and windows. We were very upset to find out about the proposed plans.

Building such a massive contiguous development of two story structures in that section of the neighborhood is like putting in a shopping mall next to a quaint village. There are serious code violations in this plan as well as the destruction of an important wildlife and watershed area. This plan is out of proportion and unjustifiable.

This is a wildlife corridor. I have even seen golden eagles roosting there. Every year I see the utility companies strip the neighboring trees during nesting season. Not in the fall, when it's safe, but during the first days of spring. This area was the one wildlife corridor that was safe. See those palm trees? It's not just the oaks that save the land, provide habitat, food, soil stability, cooling the air in the summer, but the palm trees provide nesting for Orioles and other birds. I have tried to intercede as tree trimmers strip those trees and destroy the hidden nests attached to the underside of the palm leaves which are filled with baby birds, even as the parent birds desperately try to stop them. No one cares--the "biologists" who work for these companies don't even know what a bird nest or animal den looks like. The carnage here would be very sad indeed. Not just because these are centuries old oaks, but because it is likely filled with wildlife that will just be mowed down.

• Construction of homes in this area would truly detract from the general neighborhood and create difficulties for all of the residences in the surrounding area. With the homes all being two story and tightly fitted together, it is not in keeping with the general layout of the community. This is primarily a single story residential community and to throw a bunch of two story homes squeezed together would detract from the Woodland Hills community.

My family and I live within a few blocks of this proposed 19 home development. We are strongly opposed to it as it currently stands, as it will destroy many ostensibly protected Heritage Coast Live Oak trees, hasn't been reviewed by the Mulholland Scenic Parkway Review Board, and will forever change the scenic and serene nature of this neighborhood.

I have already sent a letter on this project with the projects exits.

This requires a do-over. It was certainly not well planned in the beginning.

Please this is last piece of nature left of the Woodland Hills neighborhood. Look back on the beauty that once was & this is all we have left.

Let's please follow the zoning rules and ordinances. We need to limit density.

I live in this neighborhood and careful legal planning is imperative to preserve the integrity of our community and to save the protected oaks. This plan does neither. Please do not pass this plan and call for a re design that meets regulations.

Don't allow developers to break the laws. Proud to be a NIMBY

No development We have plenty of people and traffic already

No reason for this density and so many violations of current regulations !

Unwise, unsafe and inappropriate for the neighborhood. These a big developers. Can't the CityOf L.A. do some kind of tax deal where they can donate the land and get a tax break on a more appropriate site?

This must be redesigned for all the reasons listed.

There is plenty of housing and over-crowding to to all the new apartments and other housing in the area. This area can not sustain this expansion in a healthy manner for all. We need open land to stay as open land for the true health and well being of our community.

Horrible plan! Cutting down precious California Oaks and adding traffic congestion to an already over populated area?! Nuts?! We already need a stop light at Mulholland and Alizondo just to get out of our street! We need the road repaved and widened with more police on Mulholland. Not more people!

This project does NOT belong on this piece of land!!! It’s too dense & doesn’t take into account the rare BIG old oaks, the unusual location along a steep curve on San Feliciano, among other red flags!!!

No new construction ! We have been fighting this for years. We don't need more traffic and congestion in this area. They are building enough down around the boulevard. Plus there is the Girls School . Can we just keep the trees and natural environment and not have to build inn this area.
