. . . . . . . RESOLUTION 75-14 A RESOLUTION OF THE COMMUNITY REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY OF THE CITY OF SANTA ANA APPOINTING KEITH L. GOW AS LEGAL COUNSEL OF THE AGENCY IN THE PLACE OF THE ACTING LEGAL COUNSEL, CHARLES J. LIBERTO, was approved upon the motion of Mr. Evans, seconded by Mr. Yamamoto and carried unanimously. COMMUNICATIONS Henry Segerstrom reported on the status of Highway 57 and how necessary it is to the Orange County area. To complete the project, Segerstrom emphasized that Santa Ana must take a lead role particularly as to establishing the route. After discus- sion, it was suggested that more than one entity should be involved in this - such as Garden Grove, Fountain Valley, Costa Mesa and Anaheim since it provides improved access to these surrounding cities. A motion was made by Mr. Ward, seconded by Mr. Yamamoto and carried unanimously that the Redevelopment Agency refer the matter to staff and report back at the next Redevelopment Agency meeting. WILLOW BROOK DEVELOPMENT Mr. Robertson and Mr. Kim presented to the Redevelopment Agency their proposed plans to develop approximately a 14 acre site from First to Third and Ross to Flower for a six story Senior Citizens Tower with approximately 200 one bedroom units, and approximately 176 one bedroom units geared toward a market of young married and bachelor set. The Agency members expressed concern as to the design of the Senior Citizens Tower and with the general access parking provisions of the entire project. A motion was made by Mr. Ward, seconded by Mr. Evans and carried unanimously to grant willow Brook Development Corporation an exclusive right to negotiate for a 90 day period, returning to the Agency with a progress report at that time or before. FORE STRONG DEVELOPMENT A motion was made by Mr. Evans, seconded by Mr. Ward and carried unanimously that the Agency not grant the exclusive right request, but delay the decision until the September meeting in order to ascertain the direction the County will be taking in updating of the Civic Center Master Plan. STOTSENBERG PROPOSAL Henry Stotsenberg submitted a proposal to the Agency for the development of the block bounded by Second, Third, Sycamore and Broadway. The two major requests for assistance are that one, the City acquire the Mission building and raze the building, reselling the property to Mr. Stotsenberg's Corporation and that the City purchase the Singer building, but not the land from Mr. Stotsenberg's Corporation, raze the building, thereby, leaving Stotsenberg's Corporation with a vacant lot. A motion was made by Mr. Yamamoto, seconded by Mr. Ward and carried unani- mously to authorize the Executive Director to seek appraisals on property and to begin negotiations toward development of a offer to Stotsenberg.
