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, 208 NORTH HARBOR BOULEVARD Public hearing was held to consider condemnation of certain real property within Redevelopment Project Alpha, located at 208 North Harbor Boulevard. 68 -171 Anaheim Redevelopment Agency December 26 1975 1 :0 p M Chairman Seymour asked if the owner of subject property wished to address the Agency regarding this matter. There was no response. The Chairman declared the hearing closed. Mr. Overholt offered Resolution No. ARA78 -133 for adoption. Refer to Resolution Book. RESOLUTION NO.

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.

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.
