The Agency's Real Estate <br />Officer stated that the site is bounded on the north by Third <br />Street, on the west by a line 125 feet west of Sycamore, on the <br />south by a line 100 feet south of Third Street and on the east by <br />Sycamore; subject property consists of two parcels: one improved <br />with a two-story brick structure, referred to as the Mission <br />parcel, and the second, currently vacant, referred to as the Singer <br />parcel; the purpose of development is to provide a parking area for <br />the Santora Building; estimated development cost is $25,000. Staff <br />recommends approval of the two resolutions and the proposed budget. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />The Executive Director reported that while this Disposition and <br />Development Agreement is with Santora Partners, another agreement <br />with Santora Partners will follow in approximately three or four <br />months to do the remaining work necessary to bring the Santora <br />Building up to code. This amount of work is estimated to run in <br />excess of $600,000. He further explained that the parking lot must <br />occur first, as the owner of the Santora Building has had <br />difficulty in leasing out space in his building due to a lack of <br />parking. <br /> <br />There were no written communications. The Vice Chairman then <br />requested to hear from the public in agreement with the <br />environmental findings or the proposed sale. The following people <br />spoke: <br /> <br />Mr. Robert Heath, 2520 Valencia, Santa Ana <br />Mr. Billy Greenberg, 117 N. Broadway, Santa Ana <br />Mr. Harry Greenberg, 118 N.

Sycamore, <br />Santa Ana, addressed the Agency stating that the Mission is not the <br />problem in the downtown; that the problem will remain when the <br />Mission is gone. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />It- <br /> <br />-7- <br />
