121. HEARINGS - SOUTH OF ROMNEYA REVITALIZATION PLAN - RESOLUTIONS OF
NECESSITY - 724 W. JULIANNAr 714 W. HA?~.r 723 & 729 W. BYWOODt 720 W.
VICTOR AND 729 W. JULIANNA~ See Staff Report dated November 28, 1995
from the Community Development Department recommending adoption of the
resolutions of necessity for the subject properties.
Chairman Daly. This is the time for the due process hearing on proposed
acquisition by eminent domain relating to the subject properties.
Lisa Stipkovich, Executive Director of Community Development. Staff has been
working on the South of Romneya Revitalization Plan for some time which
requires that they acquire property in the area. The hearings are about the
need the Authority has to acquire the property and not the value of the
property. This is due process and necessity to acquire the property in order
to complete the project.
City Attorney White. These are separate hearings to be acted upon by the
Authority even though they relate to one overall project.
Chairman Daly. He opened the hearing(s) on the subject properties and asked
if the property owner or a representative of the properties was present and
wished to speak. Only property owners or their representatives may present
testimony.
Mr. Manuel Reynoso, property owner, 729 W. Julianna, Anaheim. He asked the
time frame that he had to make the "deals" and for remodeling or moving the
people he has in the apartments.

Lisa Stipkovich. It is necessary for this action to go forward tonight but as
far as negotiating and continuing to talk about values, which she knows is the
major issue between the Housing Authority and Mr. Reynoso, they would have at
least 90 days. The tenants do not have to move. The Authority will make sure
they either continue in occupancy or, if overcrowded, they are moved to
adequate quarters. She reiterated they will have at least 90 day's notice and
the Authority will take care of that. She also confirmed for Mr. Reynoso that
Mr. Cunningham, a representative of the company the Authority hired to make
the acquisition, is still the person he will be dealing with.
Mr. Nguyen, owner of 723 & 729 W. Bywood, Anaheim. He asked if all properties
were involved or just his property.
Lisa Stipkovich. There are about six different properties involved in the
condemnation hearing today. He (Nguyen) owns two of the properties and there
are four other owners involved in different actions tonight. There was a
previous hearing involving four owners.
Mr. Nguyen. He expressed his concern relative to the value of his property
and that the offer by the Authority was too low. If the City wants to condemn
his property for the public interest, he is willing to do that but he feels
the City has been unfair. Tomorrow he has to show up in court on his
building. He possibly faces jail time while at the same time the City is
making an offer on his building.
City Attorney White. He explained the purpose of the hearing(s) tonight and
the only issues that are germane at this time. The issue of value is
certainly one that the Authority is sensitive to and there is an opportunity
to continue to discuss that issue with the property owner but it is not the
reason for tonight's hearing. There is time to discuss that even after the
hearing tonight.
Mr. Nguyen. He is concerned that City employees asked him to sign a document
but he had to review it with his attorney. He reiterated, there is a law suit
pending and the City is trying to put him in jail.
Chairman Daly. He closed the hearing(s) since there were no further persons
who wished to speak on any of the subject properties.
Lisa Stipkovich. She then explained for Authority Member Tait what the
process is if there is a dispute with the property owner regarding value of
the property.
