Chairman Griset announced that this was the time and place for the Public Hearing on the issue of the public necessity to acquire by condemnation properties identified by Assessor Parcel No.s as Book 398, Page and Block 516, Parcel 07 and 13, for redevelopment purposes. Chairman Griset called upon Mr. Hoffman to identify the properties and the project and to comment on the factors and evidence necessitating the condemnation action. Mr. Hoffman stated that the public interest and necessity require the property for several reasons. He recalled that the Redevelopment Agency has entered into a Disposition and Development Agreement, dated June 25, 1984, with Urbatec as the redeveloper. Mr. Hoffman asserted that the contractual agreement requi res the Agency to acquire a four square block area, including the subject properties. for conveyance to Urbatec, for development of a neighborhood shopping center including over 100,000 square feet of retail space and parking for 460 vehicles. Mr. Hoffman stated that sixteen of the twenty-one ownerships within the site have been acquired, representing over 75% of the Site. He cited several examples of the requirement of these properties for the public interest and necessity. Chairman Griset then opened the Hearing for public input, at which time Bernard Gaon, of 2213 North Mantle Lane, Santa Ana, CA, 92701, addressed the meeting regarding the parcel at 423 East First Street. Mr. Gaon referred to the A-10 Ace Muffler decision and expressed the opinion that present plans are too vague to warrant inclusion of his parcel. Robert Bobb, City Manager. explained that the City continues negotiations with Urbatec. Edward J. Cooper. City Attorney, remi nded the assembly that the Ci ty has an agreement whi ch requires delivery of the land by June, 1986. Mr. Gaon then stated that he had not been offered a fair market value for his property and that the Agency had paid more for an adjacent parcel than he had been offered. Mr. Gaon went on to remark that he had not been gi ven an opportunity to participate in the development. Mr. Cooper stated that the issue of property value would be settled in another forum, and that California Government Code requires independent appraisals with review by yet another appraiser, which is what had happened in this case. Mr. Gaon asserted that he had been "forced to sell my property to Pulido for parking." He stated that the property is in escrow at this time. At 9:10 PM, Chairman Griset declared the Public Hearing closed. It was moved by Mr. Hart, seconded by Chairman Griset, and carried unanimously (5:0) that the Agency adopt Resolution No. 85-22: A RESOLUTION OF THE COMMUNITY REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY OF THE CITY OF SANTA ANA AUTHORIZING AND DIRECTING THE CONDEMNATION OF CERTAIN REAL PROPERTY FOR REDEVELOPMENT PURPOSES IN THE A-10 REDEVELOPMENT SITE IN THE CITY OF SANTA ANA, STATE OF CALIFORNIA, AND DECLARING THE PUBLIC NECESSITY THEREFOR (423 EAST FIRST STREET).
