Co~si~at~o~ of Add~t~nc~ of O~te~ ~ $96,000 for Sale of ARCO Site - Big Basin Way The City Manager reported to the Council on his meeting with Mr. Joseph Masek of Masek Enterprises and Mr. Rosenfeld ~th~ adjacent property owner to the ARCO Site on Monday, March 20. At that meeting the following points were discussed: 1. The access problem for the Rosenfeld Property from Big Basin Way 2. The potential parking problem for the ARCO Site 3. The committment to a future parking assessment district It was pointed out that during that meeting the development expectations of both owners were reviewed. They were as follows: Rosenfeld - 9,000 square feet of retail/commercial Masek - 6,000 square feet - restaurant 1,500 square feet - office space In reviewing these requirements it was pointed out that if the parcels were taken separately and they were to meet the requirement of the existing development ordinance the following parking require- ments would be enforced: Rosenfeld - 9,000 square feet retail at 1 space per 200 square feet, equals 45 spaces Masek - 6,000 square feet for restaurant use at 1 space per 75 square feet, equals 65 spaces 1,500 square feet of office space at 1 space per 200 square feet, equals 9 for a subtotal of 74 Grand total for both parcels - 119 spaces Discussions also centered around a committment of both property owners to a future parking district. Assuming a development ratio of the development on the above mentioned square footage and in a negotiated ratio of 380 square feet per space which is close to that currently existing in Parking District #2, the requirementslfor the total 16,500 square feet would be an average of~380 feet that would equal a requirement of 43 spaces. Based on these discussions, both Mr. Masek and Mr. Rosenfeld indicated their interest in pursuing their individual developments and join a future parking assessment'district. It was pointed out by the City Manager that because the City has no control over whether or not the two parcels are developed together but at the present time both property owners are indicating such intent, that the City can control the implementation of the above mentioned conditions through the conditioning of the required develop- ment site approval for these two parcels. It was recognized in order for either owner to obtain maximum"useage and good'access and circulation, they would'have to mostiik~ly work together to get the b~st development results. The City Manager recommended that'.th~fC±ty~Cou~iI~for~ly accept Mr. Masek's bid of $96,000 for the ARCO Site based on the,anticipated conditions to be included in his Building Site Approval as previously discussed. The question was also raised concerning the rest of the proposed parking district and the current potential development that could take place on the land available. It was pointed out'that the forty- three spaces in question on these two sites would not impact the rest of the district and was ~onsist~nt with the ratio~which had previously been 'discussed with other property-owners in the area. There being no further discussion, it was moved by Councilman Kalb, seconded by Councilwoman Corr'that the City accept Mr. Masek's offer of $96,000 and he be required to follow the other steps and Resolution 840 pertaining to the provision of an'additional 15% of the $96,000 to be provided at the opening of a"thirty-day escrow'to'be opened within five days of the bid acceptance. It was further moved that the conditions for development as discussed in the City Manager's report of March 21, 1978 be included in the conditions of development as indicative of the City Council's position relevant to the development of these two sights. The motion carried unanimously. There being no further business the meeting was adjourned at 8:00 P.M.
