~~ Item #2 - Contract for Land Sale to MAS ONE Limited Partnership.
..
I ,1
MAS ONE Limited Partnership wishes to purchase Lots 4 and 5 (portion of
City Parking Lot #8) from the CRA in order to construct an office building on
the property. The proposed purchase price is $7.50 per square foot for Lot #4
and $4.68 per square foot far Lot 5, for a total of $157,989.
Concern was expressed that on Page 5 of the agreement for sale, in
Paragraph 13B, it requires that the City dedicate Lot 1 as a City park. Concerns
were expressed that, if we dedicate it as a park and the office building is not
constructed, there would be difficulty in removing the parkland designation from
the property. There was a 1 so concern that it sa i d that the park wou 1 d be
dedicated for a term of years and it is a Charter requirement that any property
that is'a City park must go to referendum prior to the City disposing of it.
Discussion ensued regarding how to address MAS ONE's requirement for the
park being built on Lot 1 and, at the same time, not dedicating the park prior
to knowing that the construction will take place. It was suggested that the
phrase, "before the date ~f closing," in,the second sentence of'Paragraph 13 be
changed to, "concurrent with the beginning of construction," and that the last
sentence ,regarding dedication of the park for a term of years be deleted. In
response to a question, it was indicated that the agreement is non-assignable
but, however, someone could buy MAS ONE.
,Member Winner moved to approve the agreement for sale to MAS ONE, as
amended~ The motion was duly seconded and carried unanimo~sly.'
Item #3 - Capital Improvement Pro.iect to Construct Downtown NeiQhborhood Park.
. As part of the MAS ONE Limited office building project, the Community
Redevelopment Agency has tentatively agreed to spend up to a maximum of $300,000
for development of a downtown neighborhood park on the southern portion of the
existing Parking Lot #8 (to be, known as Lot 1). In response to a question, it
was indicated that staff has calculated a 3-1/2 year pay-back period in which
to recoup the $300,000 for the park and the difference between the appraised
value and the purchase price of the property. Approval of this item will
encumber $107,642 from FY 88/89 with the remainder of the $300,000 to be
allocated in the FY 89/90 budget.
( .~
Member Winner moved to authorize the creation of a capital improvement
project to develop the downtown ne i ghborhood park and part i ally fund the
improvements with $107,642 for fiscal year 88/89. The motion was duly seconded
and carried unan~mously. '.
