Brief discussion ensued, and it was noted that there are many factors
which would affect the price of property, i.e., the location and size of the
w rail. service, une use proposea, etc. It would be
impossible to determine what portion of the sale might be the additional profit
resulting from the availability of drainage facilities.
Mr. Fernald pointed out that the drainage accessibility would render the
properties in the area more valuable, and the major results might be that sales
of property would increase although the prices might remain approximately the
r-- same.
Interim Assistant Community Development Director Dan D'Urso advised that
what had been submitted was the result of the concept previously presented and
accepted, with the direction to prepare a cost revenue analysis. IIe explained
that in the preparation thereof, 20 -year and 30 -year projections (Appendices 1
and 2, respectively) were prepared; the 20 -year projection based on the 40 -acre
per year growth previously experienced. The 30 -year projection would more
nearly relate to the 32 -year remaining life of Project Alpha, and was also
considered to.be a more realistic and more conservative approach. Ile noted the
revenues projected and advised that based on the conservative 30 -year projected
absorption rate, the Redevelopment Agency would recover all costs of the drain-
age facilities within an 11 -year period.
In response to question by Commissioner Sneegas, Mr. D'Urso advised that
an inflation factor was included in the figures contained in the projects, with
revenue figures being projected at today's costs.
Commissioner Sneegas moved that an agreement between the Redevelopment
Agency and the City Council be executed to fund the construction of the storm
drain facilities and that if the City Council established a drainage fee to be
collected as a condition precedent to the issuance of construction permits, the
fees be used to off -set part of the storm drain construction costs.
Commissioner Kaywood seconded the motion. Commissioner Seymour absent. MOTION
CARRIED.
ORANGE UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT AGREEMENT: Community Development Director
Knowlton Fernald reported that the Orange Unified School District had approved
and executed the agreement with the Redevelopment Agency for the construction
of a school facility within Project Alpha. Although the Agency continued the
matter to October 14, 1975, it was the recommendation of the Community
Development Department that the Redevelopment Agency consider the matter today,
and that the site plan submitted be approved, together with the execution of
the agreement.
In response to question by Chairman Thom as to the nature of the urgency
for action at this time, 14r. Ken Selby of the Orange Unified School District
urged the Agency to reconsider the document at this time inasmuch as the School
District had held a special meeting to approve and execute the agreement, and
although approval would not accelerate the cash flow, it would provide the
written legal grounds for proceeding with plans for the project.
In answer to question by Commissioner Kaywood, Mr. Selby advised that at
present the District was not prepared to submit any plans additional to the
site plan for Agency consideration; however building plans would be
forthcoming, and the Agency would be kept informed. The questions of allowable
signing, roof mounted equipment, and proposed pedestrian walkways would be
resolved in conjunction with the plans to be presented in the future.
Rr. Fernald advised that the site plan presented conforms to the various
ordinances and regulations for location of buildings, parking provisions, and
access.
It was pointed out by Interim Assistant City Manager William Griffith that
although the concept was similar, the grading plan reviewed by City staff
varied significantly from the site plan in at least one area, and a report
would be submitted in the near future.

Mr. Selby stated that since it appeared the matter would be clarified if a
plan depicting both the grading and the site plan were available, he would

RESOLUTION: Since approval of plans is a prerequisite to release of
redevelopment funds, as delineated in the agreement, Commissioner Thom offered

The foregoing resolution failed to carry by the following tie vote:
AYES: COMfISSIONERS: Kaywood and Thom
NOES: COMMISSIONERS: Pebley and Sneegas
ABSENT: COMMISSIONERS: Seymour
By general consent, further consideration of the foregoing matter was

II. ANAHEIM HOUSING AUTHORITY: The following matter was considered by the
Anaheim Housing Authority:
HUD SECTION 8 - HOUSING ASSISTANCE PROGRAM - UPDATE: Housing Director Rosario
Mattessich reported that over 200 applications had been taken for Housing
Assistance and approximately 70 more persons have expressed an interest. It
was expected that there would be a total of approximately 300 applications for
the 200 units allotted. Approximately 20 of the applicants were non - residents,
while families and elderly persons were about equally divided. So far, 33
certificates have been issued, with 3 leases approved with private landlords
and 7 others in progress.
Mr. Mattessich noted that HUD seemed to take action on applications from
the elderly more quickly than those from families, and it was his opinion that
the fair market trends were unrealistic for family housing. It was his intent
to request some leadway for families.
In response to question by Commissioner Kaywood, Mr. Mattessich advised
that one -year leases were being executed, and at the end of the year, the
landlords had the option to raise the rent; however, the increase could not be
higher than the yearly published fair market trend. He noted that in many
cases the rent charged at a given location had been the same as in the past. ....
There being no further business before the Anaheim Redevelopment Agency or
the Anaheim Housing Authority, Chairman Thom entertained a motion to adjourn
the Community Development Commission.
ADJOURN1 Commissioner Sneegas moved to adjourn. Commissioner Kaywood
seconded the motion. Commissioner Seymour absent. N,10TI03 CARRIED.
