'Mr. <br />McKnew distributed to Council a letter froni the Division of Highways <br />dated November 30 tO Santa Fe Land Improvement Company, and showed <br />Council pictures of an industrial complex in La Mirada, and indicated <br />that the company planned a similar development some time in 1973, which <br />would improve the industrial community of the City. He stated that to <br />tie up their property for over ten years would preclude any investment on <br />the property facing Ritchey bounded by williams, l{itchey and Lyons, <br />and would ImPede any development of the area where the proposed street <br />would intercept the property. <br /> <br />Mr. 3ames W. Dickson, speaking on behalf of his father-in-law, Mr. <br />I-Ioffman, spoke in opposition to the street alignment, stating that Mr. <br />Hoffrnan strenuously objected to the plan in that it would cut his property <br />into two odd shapes and severely damage the value of the p~operty both <br />from the ~tandpoint of development and sale; and that Mr. Hoffman had <br />owned and paid taxes on the property since 1912. <br /> <br />The Director of Public Works stated 'that the proposed re-alignment <br />provided an opportunity to do some transportation planning before it was <br />too late; that when the surrounding areas started to develop, there would <br />be a tremendous traffic problem at McFadden and Ritchey; that Santa Fe <br />Land Improvement Company would not end up with a little parcel; that <br />they would have a corner parcel a~ Ritdhey and Williams as they now had; <br />that it Was trUe that Mr; Hoffman's property would be cut into, however, <br />he would have more frontage and greater capacity for development. <br /> <br />There were no further proponents or opponents, and the Mayor closed the <br />public hearing.
