HomeMy WebLinkAboutRDA Min 1991-10-28 10-7-91/10-28-91 I ORAL COMMUNICATIONS Chairman Hastings declared Oral Communications open. Mr. Bruce Stark, Seal Beach, charged that the Agency and Council are engaging in equity borrowing under the guise of refinancing, that one-half percent of the interest rate does not justify such action. He claimed Redevelopment Agencies have been a detriment to other cities, and suggested that the Agency should be done away with and its indebtedness paid as quickly as possible. Mr. Stark referred to the point that the valuation of the Hellman property is greater than that of the Trailer Park, to which he referred to the issuance of building permits, the valuation of the improvements, and alleged that the valuation of a property may not increase if those permits are not appropriately forwarded to the Assessor. Mr. Stark objected to the Bond refinancing. Ms. Reva Olson, Seal Beach, asked if there are costs involved with the refinancing in addition to the one- half percent, what the indebtedness is that is being refinanced, and what the proceeds will be. The Executive Director responded that the total costs associated with the reissue is approximately $105,000, that the remaining 1978 indebtedness is somewhat less than $2.8 million, and that the Issue would be authorized for not to exceed $5.5 million however $4.8 is anticipated depending upon the interest rates. Ms. Olson expressed her opinion that the exact refinancing costs should be known, that the Issue is extended for ten years therefore the Agency will be paying more, and said there does not appear to be much difference in the interest rate as it relates to refinancing costs. There being no further comments, Chairman Hastings declared Oral Communications closed.

AYES: NOES: ABSENT: Doane, Forsythe, Hastings, Laszlo None Wilson Motion carried ORAL COMMUNICATIONS Chairman Hastings declared Oral Communications open. Mr. Paul Jeffers, 8 Cottonwood Lane, directed his comments and questions to the Trailer Park, specifically with regard to trailers that are inherited upon the passing of a Park resident. He cited a recent incident where the sisters of a former resident of 10 Cottonwood Lane had decided to place the trailer for sale, a real estate person suggested the monthly rental be paid and the trailer then placed on the market, that he personally observed the office accept the rental check, yet the Park owner, Mr. Dawson, subsequently returned the check and advised the relatives that the trailer would need to be out of the space within thirty I days. Mr. Jeffers said he has resided in the Park since it was redeveloped, reported the type of situation referred to occurs two to three times a year, claimed that the trailers are not moved from the lots, that a cabana is constructed, the trailer portion is demolished with only the axle remaining. He said the Park owner refers to a Mobile Home Park Code provision with regard to trailers ten feet or less in width, however stated he did not believe trailer park zoning has been applied to the Seal Beach Park. Mr. Jeffers said upon redevelopment of the Park he had been informed by the City that the trailers had been brought up to Code at that time, and confirmed that the subject trailer did have a cabana although not two stories. Agencymember Laszlo recalled seeing trailers with two story cabanas listed for sale at $200,000 in the Park. Agencymember Forsythe and the Execut~ye Director confirmed having conversations with the relative of the former Park resident. Agencymember Hastings asked that this.matter be looked into, specifically that the required low and moderate income housing be maintained. Agencymember Forsythe said she had received information that there have been two similar situations in recent weeks where evictions have been attempted by the Park owner. Mr. Jeffers again stated that no trailer has ever been moved from the Park, only the people have been required to move, I and reported the owner has brought old trailers into the Park, some no more than eight feet wide, then improves and sells them. In response to Mr. Jeffers, the Development Services Director explained that the Trailer Park falls under the residential high density zone with specific design standards for the Park, and noted that the provisions of the California Administrative Code, Title 25, has a wide range of requirements that preempts the requirements of the City. Agencymember Laszlo requested that the city secure for its records the Declaration of Covenants dated September, 1978, the Amended Declaration of Covenants dated December, 1981, 10-28-91/11-25-91 I the Partnership and Disposition Agreement dated July, 1977, and the First Amendment to the Participation and Disposition Agreement dated January, 1978. Mr. Jeffers again mentioned being informed and under the impression that the trailers were brought up to Code when the Park was redeveloped, and then questioned how the Mobile Home Park provision that Mr. Dawson has utilized would apply. He read an excerpt from a letter from Trailer Park management citing terms of the lease agreement, specifically paragraph thirteen, that the Trailer Park has the option to require the removal of a mobile home that is less than ten feet wide, to which Mr. Jeffers reported that specific trailer has never been moved from the Park, the recipients of the letter turned it over to Mr. Dawson and left the Park. Mr. Jeffers requested to be provided answers with regard to whether the trailers are up to Code, are they required to be ten feet wide, or are they exempt as was understood. There being no further comments, Chairman Hastings declared Oral Communications closed.
