Order, other remaining documents were exhibits to the
Stipulation, exhibits to the Judgment or exhibits to the
Amended Agreement for the Sale of Land for Private
Development (Amended Sales Agreement). The three principal
documents are the Stipulation to Enter Judgment and Order,
the Judgment and the Amended Sales Agreement.
Approval of the Stipulation would cause it to be filed with
the Los Angeles Superior Court, obligating all parties to
proceed in accordance--principally to seek an Alternate
Coastal Permit. Once obtained, the Judgment attached to the
Stipulation would be entered at which time the parties would
execute the Amended Sales Agreement attached to the
Judgment. This Amended Sales Agreement provides for the
completion of the redevelopment project in accordance with a
choice of two plans--a Settlement Plan or an Alternate Plan.
These two plans are detailed in the staff report. The
intention of the staff is to file for an amended Coastal
Permit for the project by December 10, 1982 which may be
received in early 1983 from the Coastal Commission, and if
favorable and there is no delay because of litigation,
construction could begin in 1984.
.
It is recommended by staff that the Agency/Council approve
the settlement documents between the Agency/City and Pacific
Dominion Property Company and authorize execution by
appropriate City/Agency officials.
A discussion was held with questions asked of the City
Manager and Attorney relating to the documents and impact on
the City.
At 7:55 P.M. the public hearing was declared open. The
following members of the public spoke for five minutes each:
Roberta Schulman, Liucija Baskauskas, Ken Genser, Laura
Norton, Hal Shulem, Linas Baskauskas, Roger Genser, Bernice
Marshall, Lyn Corum, Tom Larmore, Edwin B. Stegman, Sherman
L. Stacey, D. Epstein, Sara Faulds, Mallory Pearce, Michael
Hill, Leslie Bennett, Mary Griffith, Kerry Lobel, C. J.
Jones, and Ruth Robinson. They expressed various concerns
relating to security in the area, objections to the
suggested land use, change of original plan, while some
favored the Alternate Plan, a goodly number favored the
Settlement Plan. There being no more members of the public
wishing to speak, the hearing was declared closed at 10:05
P.M. After discussion, Councilmember Zane moved and
Councilmember Conn seconded on behalf of the City Council
and the Agency to approve the attached settlement documents
between the City and Pacific Dominion Property Company
(formerly known as Lincoln Property Company) and authorizing
execution by appropriate City officials. Included in the
motion was an amendment to paragraph 6e of the Amended Sales
Agreement as follows: "Notwithstanding anything to the

state law is adopted, amended, or repealed so that the
amount of tax increment monies available to Agency under the
i California Community Redevelopment Law are reduced, Pacific
I shall not require or take any action to require Agency or
. City to implement a beach improvement plan under the
Alternate Plan that the Agency or City determines is beyond
the ability of Agency or City to finance provided that any
beach improvement plan that the Agency or city determines it
" does have the ability to finance is developed in accordance
with all of the restrictions set forth in the Settlement
! Beach Improvement Plan."
Additional discussion took place. Mayor Yannatta Goldway
requested that the record show that under the settlement
, agreement there would be 2.3 acres of additional land that
I becomes available for park use. Councilmembers Jennings and
Reed objected to the Settlement Plan for reasons following:
ambiguity, too many outs and protections for developer, no
,public input on placement of sites for low-cost houses,
speed and difficulty of documents presented to public.
iMayor Yannatta Goldway asked Mr. Landau of Pacific Dominion
I Property Company his preference of plan. Mr. Landau said
, that the Settlement Plan would be in their best interest
based on the economic view--the greatest chance of making
: the greatest profit with the least risk. He added that the
only "out" of the Settlement Plan is at the election of the
, City Council--not the election of the developer.
