PUBLIC HEARING - SALE OF REAL PROPERTY LOCATED IN THE NORTHEAST
INDUSTRIAL AREA (SUNSHINE WAY, MIRALOMA AVENUE AND MIRALOMA WAY)
TO PHILADELPHIA GEAR COMPANY Redevelopment Director Knowlton Fernald
reported on the offer to purchase property described as parcels "a ",
"b ", and "c" located generally on the north side of Miraloma Avenue
east of Sunshine Way, and south of Miraloma Way by Philadelphia
Gear Company for the sum of $1,000. He advised that this firm is
in escrow to purchase property in this area identified on the
exhibit map as parcel "d ", upon which they plan to construct a
4,000 square foot sales office /warehouse building. The approxi-
mate value of the building is projected to be $115,000 and they
would maintain an inventory of approximately $20,000 value in this
building including the furnishings.
i Mr. Fernald reported that the tax increment income expected
from this project would be approximately $3,600 per year. The
Philadelphia Gear Company plans call for construction completion
during calendar year 1975.
Mr. Fernald reported that at the Community Redevelopment Com-
mission meeting held December 11, 1974, a unanimous recommendation
for approval of this sale was authorized to be directed to the
Anaheim Redevelopment Agency.
Mr. Fernald introduced Mr. Robert G. Dale of Philadelphia
Gear Company, who exhibited a site plan which was described and
discussed with the Agency Members. Mr. Fernald noted that there
would be a small encroachment of the proposed building onto parcel
"b ", and parcels "a" and "c" would be used entirely as landscaped,
open space areas.
Mr. Seymour expressed concern as to whether or not these
plans are in final stages and the Philadelphia Gear Company prepared
to begin construction shortly so that if this sale is consummated
the Agency can be fairly well assured it will receive the increase
in incremental taxes as expected.
Mr. Fernald replied that this was one of the factors discussed
during negotiations with Philadelphia Gear Company and that they
have agreed to accept a reversionary clause in the deed. Further,
he reported that this firm has indicated willingness to accept a
deed restriction against building on parcel "c ", as well as stipu-
lating to provide adequate landscaping and irrigation on these
properties, subject to approval.
Mr. Watts counseled that the Agency is specifically authorized
under the Redevelopment Act to assure that the development is con -
sistant with the redevelopment plan which, at the present time,
