CONSENT CALENDAR ITEMS 1 THROUGH 9: On motion by Agency Member Pickler,
seconded by Agency Member Daly, the following actions were authorized in
accordance with the reports and recommendations furnished each Agency Member
and as listed on the Consent Calendar Agenda.
1. 123: Approving a First Amendment to Agreement with 3DI, in the amount of
$50,000 for construction administration and project management services, and
authorizing the Chairman and Secretary to execute said First Amendment on
behalf of the Agency.
2. 123: Approving the request of Kaufman and Broad to include entry gates on
Parcel 22 (Heritage Place).
Agency Member Ehrle asked if this was then to be a gated community.
Lisa Stipkovich, Executive Director of Community Development. The depiction
of where the gates are to be is included in the packet. This would prevent
just any access into the site. The streets are privately owned by the
Development Company. There i~ an association, they are private streets, and
the developer is requesting gates in the two locations indicated which would
prevent vehicular access without a pass or a key. She clarified for Mr. Ehrle
that the Redevelopment Commission voted to deny the request, the issue being
there was some concern initially since when approvals were obtained there were
no gates, and gates were not preferred at the time. The developer is present
tonight. They have requested the gates since they are important to their
sales program. It is a security measure and because the streets are private,
they feel it will help considerably with their sales activity.
Council Member Ehrle. He thought the original agreement was to incorporate
the new homes with the older community and have a contiguous neighborhood.
Li~a Stipkovich. There is no wall around the community. From Cypress Street,
the gates will not impact the units - all houses have front doors and

driveways along Cypress. They were concerned more about a walled-in
community. The gates as designed are done in such a way that they are not
very obvious or intrusive to the rest of the community.
Scott Maomi, representing Kaufman & Broad. Because of the economic times,
buyers are extremely demanding. They have been losing sales because of
security issues in the project. He understands the desire to keep the
neighborhood open. This is the first step towards revitalizing the
neighborhood. The quality of the neighborhood does not change overnight.
Today they need gates for their community. In order to maintain sales
momentum, they have had to lower prices. This hurts first-time homebuyers,
the City and Kaufman & Broad. Their goal is to increase property values.
Adding gates will help to achieve their goal. The homeowners invested a
substantial part of their savings and made their commitment in support of the
City. He is asking the Agency's support to allow them to install gates and
provide security for their investment.

title services and technical assistance in connection with property
acquisition, disposition, and development programs; and authorizing the
Chairman and the Secretary to execute said Agreement on behalf of the Agency.

title services and technical assistance in connection with property
acquisition, disposition, and development programs; and authorizing the
Chairman and the Secretary to execute said Agreement on behalf of the Agency.

title services and technical assistance in connection with property
acquisition, disposition, and development programs; and authorizing the
Chairman and the Secretary to execute said Agreement on behalf of the Agency.

for title services and technical assistance in connection with property
acquisition, disposition, and development programs; and authorizing the
