Agency Member Overholt seconded the motion. 81 -4 ANAHEIM REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY JANUARY 13 1981 1:00 P.M. Mr. F. K. Friedemann, Attorney representing Dr. Brashears, was invited to address the Agency and advised that after working with the Redevelopment staff, the Disposition and Development Agreement was in final form. Dr. William Brashears came forward and called attention to a model of the development proposed, which was on display in the Council Chamber. He pointed out the streets which bounded the area in question, Harbor Boulevard, Broadway, Lemon /Clementine Street and Lincoln Avenue, and advised that negotiations had been completed with United California Bank for acquisition of their facility, with a few minor details to be worked out. One -third of the space in the first office building (northeast corner of Harbor Boulevard and Broadway) had been committed for leasing, as well as letters of intent from other interested parties which had been received. The second portion of the proposed development would contain a hotel. The eleven -story condominium would be located on the north side of Broadway west of Lemon Street, and a "twin" office building would be erected at the northwest corner of Lemon /Clementine Street and Broadway. The next structure to be developed was the largest office building on the south side of New Lincoln Avenue across from Pacific Telephone Company. A restaurant was designed for location at the corner of Lemon Street and New Lincoln Avenue, with three other restaurants projected in the hotel development. The final phase of the proposed development was to be commercial facilities which would tie all of the buildings together, in a manner similar to "The Gallery" in Houston, Texas. .... Dr. Brashears further reported they had been holding discussions with the Orange County Transit District concerning the possibility of bringing rapid transit availability into Downtown Anaheim, and they had taken an artistic license by showing the transportation center on Harbor Boule- vard within the area in question, rather than in the Disneyland area. In response to question by Agency Member Kaywood, Mr. Friedemann came forward and noted the time which had been spent in putting together a Disposition and Development Agreement, and in negotiating with the United California Bank for acquisition of their property at the north- east corner of Harbor and Broadway. He pointed out the various financing alternatives which had been explored, and the soaring interest rates, advising that they were prepared to be flexible. He briefly outlined the various approaches and negotiations in progress, estimating that in four to six weeks they would be in the final stages of documentation for one of their financial alternatives, and no substantial problems were anticipated. Groundbreaking should take place in approximately six months. Regarding the proposed hotel, Mr. Friedemann stated that considerable interest had been indicated in a hotel facility on Harbor Boulevard as a part of their project. One hotel group was Trust House Forte, which was interested in coming in to.the hotel on a management basis; however, it was determined to hold any negotiations at the present time pending finalization of financing for the office structure. The motion previously made to extend the Negotiation Agreement with Dr. William Brashears for ninety days was restated.
