Mr. Brotemarkle said it was the pleasure of the Agency whether they w~ted to hold the public hearing now or continue it to the meeting this evening. Chairman Schuster declared the public hearing open and asked if there was any- one who wished to speak in favor or opposition to Use Permit 79-23 and Tentative Tract No. 10762. Mr. Tallas Margrave, representing the C.E.L.S. Corporation, briefed the Agency on the proposed conversion of the apartment complex to condominiums. There followed a discussion regarding location and height of the parking structure; the future realignment o~ the freeway and its effect on the project; the 50% open space; the relocation of the present tenants; and the parking availability. The following persons spoke ~n opposition or requested additional information: James L. Dunn Nick Ogden Mr. Clair Mrs. Margaret Kennedy Mr. Glass Their concerns included hardships on senior citizens, moving allow~lces, extent of repair and refurbishment, price of units, amount of discount to tenants, and schedule of events. Mr. Lewis Hutchins, representing Citcon Corporation, indicated moving allowances would be based on longevity of tenancy, historically discounts have been about 5%, some units could be sold to tenants on 83~ "as is" basis on interior cosmetics to further reduce the price, and all units would be brought up to City code standards.

MOTION by Welsh, SECONDED by Sharp, to continue the public hearing of Use Permit 79-23 and Tentative Tract No. 10762 until the evening meeting due to allow for further input that might be brought forth at that time. Mrs. Kennedy said she wanted to put in the resolution a requirement that pur- chasers be made aware of the age of the units and the budgeting process for the Association for repairs. Mr. Brotemarkle said the Agency could consider an additional condition, that the CC&Iqs should reflect a statement with regard to the age and condition of the structures so that everyone buying such structure, would be made aware of such. He said the code required all units to be brought up to certain code requirements. The only thing that would be optional are things lik~ drapes, carpeting, and other cosmetic improvements, but none of the code safety require- ments could be optional. He also said parking would be increased over that now existing. Mrs. Kennedy said she would like to see the relocation issue more clearly spelled out in the resolution. Mr. Saltarelli suggested to change the wording to say: "that the relocation, repurchase plan shall have the approval of the Agency." Mrs. Kennedy also wanted to include something so ali. buyers would be apprised of the potential of CALTRANS adjusting the freeway right-of-way. Mr. Saltarelli suggested the wording "that all new buyers will be notified that CALTR3~NS may, at some future time, modify the freeway and that it may have an effect on %h~ir property." Chairman Schuster asked the pleasure of the Agency on the motion made earlier. AYF.
