t. -. <br />�� <br />We have been processing n plan to subdivide and develop residential housing on the property For <br />over four years. During that process, many consultants aitd interested citizens Iravc oIt'crcd <br />opinions on environmental, cultural and economic matters related to our proposed development <br />plan. Your cotmnittee, the City Planning Commission and, ultimately, the City Council will be <br />required Eo consider that inptrt aril make specific findings regarding our prolwsal. <br />Should you decide to ignore Mrs. Sexlinger's wishes and recomnrond the listing of the property <br />as n historical resource property, we ask yon to consider the certain result of such action. If the <br />properly were to be listed, it would need to remain as n residential home and home -owner <br />operated orchard (canmercinl operation of the orchard is not allowed under the currant zarin6). <br />Because it is not econoncally feasible to operate the orchard, and becnuse the curreru home is in <br />a dilapidated condition, it is very unlikely that we will receive any economically feasible offers <br />to purchase the property. We would have very Few options left, and it is likely that the property <br />would remain in its abandoned state for some tLne. <br />We have been inFornied that three consultants have reviewed the property to offer (heir <br />recommendation as to whether the criteria for listing can even be achieved. �,Vc understand that <br />two consultants believe that one criterion For listing rnlg{rt be met. However, one of the <br />constdtants has specifically opined thnt the property does not meet any of the criteria, and that <br />the property dues not gtralify for listing. <br />As we are sure you are well aware, there are laws that protect religious instihuions like ours <br />when governntcnl regulations take away n property's economic value. "there is evidence in the <br />record before you tlrni supports a decision not to list this property. Moreover, because [he former <br />oavner of the properly had no desire to force the perpetaaal use of the property as an orchard, and <br />because the current owners have no inclination or desire to continuo that use on the properly, ave <br />ask that you rccotnntertd that the property not be listed. <br />Sincerely, <br />Gregg Pinick <br />E�ceeutive Director <br />Lutheran High School of Orange County <br />�i/,t- ' - ���- -- <br />Kevin Tilden <br />Executive Vice President of 1'innnce <br />and Chief Financial Officer <br />Concordia University Irvine <br />
