161.157: TOWN CENTER PROJECT - APPROVAL OF PRELIMINARY WORKING
DRAWINGS Redevelopment Manager Susan Schick reported that prelim-
inary working drawings for the Town Center Project have been approved
by the Zoning Division and Fire Department, and she noted certain
conditions imposed on the construction by both departments. Also
noted was approval of said preliminary W & D Commercial Properties,
Inc. drawings by the Community Redevelopment Commission on December
20, 1978 (subject property located south of Lincoln Avenue, west
of Anaheim Boulevard, north of Chestnut Street and east of Lemon
Street).
Mr. Ed Craker, representing McCullough, Cruz and Gaylord, Architects
for the project, displayed several renderings of the proposed food
market, drug store, bank, savings and loan facility and appurtenant
shops, advising that two restaurants were projected for the develop-
ment. He noted that the buildings were designed with exterior plaster
and mission tile roofs, with the rear sides of buildings to be treated
similarly and screened from the surrounding area. He further advised
68 -170
Anaheim Redevelopment Agency, December 26, 1978, 1 :00 P.M.
that none of the proposed structures would be oriented toward or
constructed over Lemon Street, which will be closed within the Town
Center, however an easement will be retained for access to existing
underground utilities.
In response to question by Mr. Kott, Mr. Craker reported that by
using a "low profile" design, the property owner will be able to
construct larger and more leasable commercial buildings.
In answer to Mr. Roth's expressed concern that any air conditioning
equipment, ventilators, etc. be shielded from view, Mr. Craker des-
cribed the measures to be taken for adequate screening of such
facilities.
Mr. Overholt moved that preliminary working drawings for the Town
Center Project be approved, subject to the following conditions, as
recommended by the Fire Marshal and the Zoning Division:
1) That all structures within the Town Center Complex be completely
sprinklered.
2) That at least three (3) fire hydrants be available within 600
feet of the subject structures for fire protection during con-
struction. These hydrants must deliver a combined flow of at
least 3500 gallons per minute.
3) One hour exterior wall construction.
4) Class C or better roof construction.
5) CG "Commercial, General" zoning specifies that a minimum of 66%
of the lot be utilized for parking purposes.
6) Several free - standing signs are shown on the preliminary plan,
Code specified (on one parcel of record), that such signs must
have a minimum separation of 300 feet. Additionally, there are
other sign restrictions such as height, size and location.
7) Future building expansion shown on the plan appears to be satis-
factory in terms of location, but adequate parking must be
provided cumulatively for all uses in the project.
8) If property is subdivided, parking and signing codes must be
satisfied on each individual parcel unless agreements are made
for mutual use of parking and provision of signs.
Mrs. Kaywood seconded the motion. MOTION CARRIED.

161.121: PUBLIC HEARING - CONDEMNATION 212 NORTH HARBOR BOULEVARD:
Public hearing was held to consider condemnation of certain real
property within Redevelopment Project Alpha, located at 212 North
Harbor Boulevard.
Chairman Seymour asked if the owner of subject property wished to
address the Agency.
Mr. Don Holston, owner of property at 212 North Harbor Boulevard,
addressed the Redevelopment Agency asking to what purpose subject
property would be assigned. He stated he was dissatisfied with the
offer made for the property, and briefly reviewed his restoration of
the dwelling on the premises.
Ms. Schick advised that a portion of the property is projected to be
utilized for the widening of Harbor Boulevard.
Mr. Holston reported that his investigation showed that the property
cannot be comparably replaced for $55,400; that he felt it unfair
that he would not receive what he considered full value for the
property.
r
Anaheim Redevelopment Agency, December 26, 1978, 1:00 P.M.
It was pointed out that the subjects to be discussed at this type of
public hearing are limited by Government Code, and the subjects of
valuation, relocation, benefits, etc. are separate from what is
currently before the Anaheim Redevelopment Agency.
In response to question by Chairman Seymour, Ms. Schick stated that
the staff would definitely continue to negotiate with the property r�
owner even though a resolution authorizing condemnation of the
property were adopted today. She reported that the original appraisal
was made on April 10, 1978, and was updated in October this year.
Thomas Stoever, Special Counsel for the Agency, advised that the
matter would not be placed on the court calendar before six months
to one year.
Mr. Seymour offered a resolution authorizing the condemnation of
subject property.
Mr. Kott was of the opinion that the case presented by the property
owner was not unreasonable, and stated that he would have to vote
"no" on the proposed resolution, since he felt the adoption thereof
might cause the property owner to dissipate his profit through court
appearances.
For clarification, Chairman Seymour pointed out that the resolution
proposed T #ould not insure that the property would be acquired through
the eminent domain process, but practically speaking, the eminent
domain process might have to be commenced six months hence, should
negotiations break down. ANN,
Responding to questions by Mr. Kott and Mr. Overholt, Ms. Schick
reported that the Agency staff cannot offer a property owner more than
the appraised value made by a qualified appraiser. Upon demonstration
by a property owner of some examples of comparable property sales, a
reevaluation of the appraisal could possibly be initiated. Eminent
domain proceedings on subject property could be filed in approximately
three weeks; there would be a 30 -day period to allow a response, which
could be extended.
Mr. Holston was invited to come forward, and in answer to question by
Mr. Overholt, advised that a continuance of the proposed filing of
eminent domain proceedings might possibly be helpful.
It was moved by Mr. Overholt, seconded by Mr. Kott, that the matter
be continued two weeks.
68 -173
Anaheim Redevelopment Agency, December 26, 1978, 1 :00 P.M.
Special Counsel Stoever advised that a two -week continuance would
possibly be detrimental to the City's timing, and he was of the
opinion that the Agency should proceed at this time.
On the basis of the foregoing, Mr. Overholt withdrew his motion.
Chairman Seymour declared the public hearing closed.
The resolution previously offered by Mr. Seymour was re- stated.
Refer to Resolution Book.

161.121: PUBLIC HEARING_ - CONDEMNATION, 218 NORTH HARBOR BOULEVARD
Public hearing was held to consider condemnation of certain real
property within Redevelopment Project Alpha, located at 218 North
Harbor Boulevard.
Chairman Seymour asked if the owner of subject property was present
and wished to address the Agency. Mr. Raymond A. Masciel indicated
his presence at this hearing.
Redevelopment Manager Susan Schick read a letter from Fred V. Munoz,
Attorney representing Mr. and Mrs. Masciel, advising he needed time
to research the matter, inasmuch as he had just been retained by the
property owners; that should the proposed resolution of necessity be
adopted by the Agency, he believed negotiations would continue.
The Chairman declared the hearing closed.
