161.123: EXTENSION TO NEGOTIATION AGREEMENT - WILLIAM BRASHEARS In
accordance with recommendations by the Executive Director, Mr. Roth
moved that Negotiation Agreement with William Brashears be extended
for 60 days to allow completion of Disposition and Development Agreement
review. Mrs. Kaywood seconded the motion. MOTION CARRIED.
161.157: APPROVAL OF PRELIMINARY PLANS - MASONIC LODGE The Executive
Director briefed his recommendation that the Agency approve preliminary
construction drawings and landscaping plans submitted by the Masonic
Lodge for the proposed development on New Lincoln Avenue east of Harbor
Boulevard.
Mr. Gary Bastien, Architect, was introduced and advised that the Lodge
facilities would occupy the second floor of the structure.
In response to question by Mr. Bay, Redevelopment Manager Susan Schick
pointed out that the Masonic Lodge would meet evenings and Saturdays,
and any parking overlap with commercial retail facility parking on
Saturdays could be accommodated on the Bentley (E1 Camino Bank) property
adjacent to the west.
Mr. Priest pointed out that the primary retail use at the Bentley property
would be the bank itself. He noted that the parking overlap was a result
of the reduction by 10,000 square feet in the Masonic temple portion of
the structure.
Mr. Bay moved that preliminary construction drawings and landscape
construction plans be approved. Mr. Roth seconded the motion. MOTION
CARRIED.
161.123: EXTENSION TO NEGOTIATION AGREEMENT - DRABKIN /RATKOVICH The
Executive Director briefly reported on his recommended 90 -day extension of
time to the Agency's Negotiation Agreement with Robert J. Drabkin and
Wayne Ratkovich for development of Redevelopment Project Alpha Parcel 10.
He noted the progress to date and advised the extension would allow
completion of the site plan and design work and negotiation of terms and
conditions of the Development Agreement. In addition, consideration was
being given to possible integration of the old Pickwick Hotel into the
project.
At the invitation of the Redevelopment Agency, Mr. Frank Dusek, owner of
the Pickwick Hotel, came to the podium and requested that his property be
excluded from the project in question. He was of the opinion that he could
restore the hotel himself in such a way as to integrate it with any other
development which may take place.
In response to questions by Mr. Bay, Mr. Dusek advised that a structural
engineer's study of the hotel indicates it is the best structure of its
kind in Orange County. He personally estimated the cost of restoring the
deteriorating hotel would be between $200,000 and $250,000, with no
alteration to the exterior, and he indicated his willingness to cooperate
with the Redevelopment Agency in designating a use for the facility.
ANAHEIM REDEVELOPMENT AG OCTOBER 28,_ 1 980, . 1;_00 P.M.
Chairman Seymour expressed appreciation to Mr. Dusek for his appearance
before the Agency, and was of the opinion that to be fair to both
Mr. Dusek and the developer of Parcel 10, the Agency would need to review
specific plans for the restoration of the hotel before taking action on
the request by the owner of the Pickwick Hotel.
In answer to question by Mrs. Kaywood, Mr. Dusek reported that he had
discussed his tentative plans with the developers.
Mr. Bay moved that the Negotiation Agreement between Drabkin /Ratkovich
and the Agency be extended for ninety days, as recommended. Mrs. Kaywood
seconded the motion. MOTION CARRIED.
ADJOURNMENT On motion by Agency Member Kaywood, seconded by Agency Member
Overholt, the Anaheim Redevelopment Agency adjourned to Wednesday,
October 29, 1980, 11:00 A.M. MOTION CARRIED.
ADJOURNED: 1:33 P.M.
