"" JOINT PUBLIC HEARING (continued) Director of Public Works Addieqo commented on the formulation of the four pro- posed subareas, the condition of each and the need for public improvements. In response to questions of City Attorney Schricker, Mr. Addiego agreed that with respect to public improvements, he believes they will enhance and assist in the creation of value in respect to each subarea and that the improvements could be considered concommitants of them. Ann Ladd, 235 Arlington, Redwood City School District, requested that the public hearing be continued and that she be permitted to speak at the later date. Robert Long, Sequoia Union High School District, requested that the public hearing be continued. Elisabeth Balin, 975 Buckland Avenue, San Carlos, inquired regarding whether a master plan or details of the Plan are available. City Manager Smith ex- plained that, except for Lincoln Properties, no specifics exist, stating that it is very general because owners and future developers will determine what is to be included, but there is no intent to level everything within the Project boundaries. Buildinq Official Malkemus (see Exhibit h. - letter of June 21, 1982 on file) reported on the poor conditions existing in the subareas and the requirements of the State Building Code and the Municipal Code. In response to question of City Attorney Schricker, Mr. Malkemus said he had investigated a repre- sentative sample of the buildings in each area and that they are in a sub- stantial state of disrepair. In further response to question, Mr. Malkemus described what would be needed to investigate whether the buildings meet Code requirements and said the result of massive Code enforcement programs is not necessarily reconstruction, since there is no requirement to do so, but that buildings which do not meet Code requirements can be leveled and empty lots allowed to remain. Mr. Malkemus cited the old Hull Bros. hardware site at Main and Broadway as an example. In response to request from Council, City Manager Smith described the geo- graphical subareas by street name. Michael Sposito, 148 Finger Street, partner in property at 901 and 903 Main Street, said he believes Redwood City needs redevelopment, and City Attorney Schricker replied to his questions relating to eminent domain and the definition of blight. Mr. Fargo also advised Mr. Sposito of the kind of participation property owners might expect to have in the Project. Don Peterson (see above) reported that in some information provided on the Project, Smith Slough is incorrectly shown as Steinberger Slough and asked that it be corrected.
