JULIA ARAIZA 1772 Summerville Ave. Tustin, Ca. 92680 May 19, 1986 City of Tustin 300 Centennial Way Tustin, Ca. 92680 Attn: Mary E. Wynn, City Clerk Gentlemen: This is my letter of application for a position of Planning Commissioner. I have lived in Tustin since 1969 with my husband and two (now grown) children. I am 49. My husband and I have a business of owning and operating apartment houses in Orange County. I have been a licensed real estate broker since 1972. I have a degree of Associate in Applied Science. I am a member of the Apartment Association of Orange County, and of the Realty Investors Association of California. Other areas of knowledge include accounting, income tax law mainly as it applies to real estate, state laws and legal procedures dealing with landlord-~enant law and with real estate law. I have a knowledge of construction from framing to plumbing, gained over years of repair and reconstruction done with my husband. I was active on the Tustin Bullet Train Committee, writing letters to legislators and newspapers, and helping to organize the various programs of effort. We have owned our home in Tustin since 1969. My son (21) is enrolled at UCI, double majoring in electronic engineering and mechanical engineering. My daughtr (19) is also enrolled at UCI, majoring in social ecology. I am familiar with zoning laws. I realize the n~ed for sensible, long range planning that will enhance the City of Tustin. Ver~ truly Julia Araiza May 14, 1986 Honorable Mayor and City Council City of Tustin 300 Centennial Way Tustin, CA 92680 Dear Sirs and Madam: Please consider this my letter and request for reappointment to the Tustin Planning Commission. During this past year I have learned a great deal about the City of Tustin, local ordinances and theories of expansion specifically when discussing East Tustin. Living close to the effected "Tustin Ranch" area, I am personally concerned about increased traffic, noise, flooding, and residual that we will be living with in the not too distant future. I realize that growth is expected and that we need to handle that growth in the most compatible way possible. In dealing with staff, they have been very informative giving me the support I need to feel comfortable that I have current and sound information enabling me to make an appropriate decision. I feel that I can work well the the Council and Staff enabling us to get the job done in a timely and responsible manner. Sincerely,~ Tustin, CA 92680 (714) 838-1072 May 19, 1986 Mayor Donald Saltarelli Tustin City Hall 300 Centennial Way Tustin, CA 92680 Dear Mayor Saltarelli and members o~ the council, I would very much like to be considered for the City's Planning Commission. I am intrigued by the challenges that face the new commission. I have lived in Tustin most of my 37 years and in that time I have observed its growth to a modern but still conservative city and I applaud that. I have also observed our neighboring cities, in what I feel to be radical growth that has contributed to deterioration of vital parts of their own cities. As a resident, I am grateful to those who have planned our city to date; and that through this planning process did not allow our city to deteriorate. My reason for wanting to be considered is this: living in and enjoying Tustin for most of my life, I view this as a unique opportunity for me to give something back to the city. My personal philosophy toward any project that the commission may undertake would be this: How will this project benefit the city and its residents? What will the environmental and fiscal impact be on the city? Will the needs and or profits be realized by its developers? In short, will the project produce a "win-win" situation for all parties involved. As advisors to the council, I feel that these are questions that a commission should be prepared to advise the council on. I have been employed with the Irvine Unified School District for the past 12 years, prior to that I was in private industry in the Tustin area. I work in the Maintenance and Operations area, where I am presently the Supervisor of Security and Safety for the District. In addition to this, I work with our trade journeyman on their supply needs for specific projects, including drawing up plans for them if necessary. In 1984 the District built a new Administration Center and in this project was to be a new addition for us at Maintenance and Operations. I served on the research and development committee for this project, working with both the architect and our resident inspector for the District. I am familiar with the various codes that are set Page -2- by the State: (eg.) Building Code, Fire Code, Plumbing, etc. This along with ~hat I have learned in the various construction trades in the past 11 years, I feel would be beneficial to the Commission. On my educational background, I graduated from Tustin High School in 1968. I have an Associates Degree in Business from Orange Coast College. 'Trying to promote oneself in a short letter is Jxtremely difficult, as you can imagine, but if things do not progress any further than this letter, I would like to thank you for giving it consideration. If you would like to contact me, my home phone number is 838-0514 and my work phone number is 559-1936. Bob Barnhart Nay 31, 1986 Honorable City Council Hembers, Ny name is John Norman Butler.
