APPROVAL OF MINUTES:
The Secretary explained to the Members that the wording used in the legal
description in the final amended Declaration of Restrictions, regarding the
setback of the two buildings on Installment Parcel One from the property line,
had been modified from the wording which had been approved by the Members at
the meeting of March 28, and which also appeared on the minutes of March 28.
The Agency Legal Counsel and the Secretary then explained the reasons for this
modification and suggested that the minutes of March 28 be corrected accordingly.
Mr. Hoffman entered at 4;47 P.M.
Discussion followed on the conflict of the language of the Redevelopment
Plan and the OeClaration of Restrictions; what steps should be taken to remedy
the situation; and how this might affect the remaining parcels in Project J (a),
particularly with reference to Installment Parcel Four. Mr. Barnard moved,
seconded by Mr. O'Brien, with reference to the Certificate of Completion of
Improvements, that the motion made at the meeting of March 28 be rescinded
insofar as it refers to a lO-foot setback of the property line and t~t a
motion otherwise identical be made so as to read, "all buildings facing on
public rights-of-way shall have a minimum front yard setback of 10 feet".
The motion carried with a unanimous voice vote.
Upon Mr. Jacobs' recommendation, Mr. 3arnard moved, seconded by Mr. Connelly.
that the motion authorizing the execution of the Certificate of Completion of
Improvements on Installment Parcel One, which was made at the meeting of
March 28, be rescinded, and that a new motion be made authorizing the Secretary
and the Chairman to issue a Certificate of Completion of Improvements, provided
that the Redeveloper acknowledges that they are in violation of the existing
setback requirements, and that the Agency reserves all of its rights thereunder.
The motion carried with a unanimous voice vote.
The minutes of March 22, 1967 were approved as corrected.
Mr. 3arnard then moved, seconded by Mr. O'Drien, that the Secretary and the
Agency Legal Counsel be authorized to negotiate with the Redeveloper to arrive
at a fair solution to the matter of setbacks and to return with a proposed
agreement to this Agency. The motion carried with the following roll call
vote;
