connection with the South of Romneya Revitalization project; and authorizing the law firm of
Oliver, Sandifer, Murphy, and Lee, special counsel to the Authority, to commence proceedings to
acquire the property.
Submitted was report dated October 7, 1997 from the Community Development Department
recommending adoption of the proposed resolution subsequent to the due process hearing.
Chairman Daly. Now is the time for the hearing on the proposed acquisition by eminent domain of
certain real property interests required for redevelopment purposes described as a 10 ft. wide remnant
parcel located adjacent to 719 and 723 Bywood Street in the City of Anaheim. He asked to hear from
staff.
Lisa Stipkovich, Executive Director of Community Development. She briefed the subject staff report
noting that this remnant parcel is part of the South of Romneya Revitalization Project. All of the property
acquired by the Authority has been conveyed to the related company and they are about half way
through their revitalization. This parcel came about when a transaction was made in a previous sale to
the Housing Authority. It was mistakenly left out of the legal description. For several months, staff has
been negotiating with the current property owners but have been unable to reach an agreement on the
value and are asking the Authority to consider this tonight so that they can clear up this last parcel and
be able to have a new parcel map recorded on the property.
Chairman Daly. He opened the hearing and asked if the property owner or a representative is present;
no one was present.
City Attorney White. He then clarified for the Chairman that since no one was present, he would not
have to announce the only four areas of testimony that could be presented.
The hearing was closed.
