maintain the landscapingfirrigation within the two properties. In addition, Mr. Marcelli has agreed to allow IAC to install landscaping /irrigation improvements (vines and trees) along the perimeter of his parcel. IAC will work directly with Mr. Marcelli to develop a landscape/ maintenance agreement separate from the Agency's revocable permit agreements described within this report (Attachments 1 & 2). The improvements that IAC has agreed to instal; include: new vines and trees along the fence bordering Redwood Creek culvert and new trees along the curb edges of Lathrop and Maple Streets. Within the Redevelopment - Agency -owned parcel, IAC has also agreed to install a driveway, curb and gutter along the Lathrop Street side of the parcel and will remove the site's existing, broken surface asphalt. The asphalt would be replaced with decompressed granite (DG) in order to give the parcel a more aesthetic, park -like appearance. Two DG pedestrian paths will also be installed to provide pedestrian linkages to and through the parcel (Exhibit B- Landscape Plan). In return, IAC has requested that trailers, boats, cars and other outdoor storage items not be allowed to occupy the parcel over -night and that the Redevelopment Agency - owned site also be made available for open space purposes when not being used for parking. IAC has agreed to the concept of having the parcel serve a dual purpose: 1) for daytime only parking for Towne Ford and Hopkins Acura employees and 2) for weekday evening and weekend (Saturday after 6pm and all day Sunday) community open space. In a separate agreement, Towne Ford has agreed to pay the Agency $150 per month for use of the parcel for Towne Ford and Hopkins Acura employee parking on Monday through Saturday from 7am -6pm. This rate is based on a comparable formula ($1,250/ per acre or (0.12 acres x $1,250 = $150) that was used by the Redevelopment Agency in May of 2001 to enable an auto dealer group and Ferma Corporation to use the former sewage treatment site on Maple Street for the storage of new car inventory. Towne Ford has also agreed to reimburse the Redevelopment Agency $200 for the cost to install two "No Public Parking" signs and to pay for the continued maintenance of the parcel's new curb, gutter, driveway, decompressed granite surface material, pedestrian pathways and existing fencing (Attachment 3). Staff is now requesting that the Redevelopment Agency Board consider authorizing: 1) IAC's Revocable Permit that would allow installation of: a. Vines and trees along the fence bordering Redwood Creek culvert b. Trees along the outer curb edge of Lathrop Street c. Irrigation System to serve the above landscape improvements d. Driveway, curb and gutter along Lathrop Street e. Two pedestrian paths f. Decompressed granite (DG) surfacing material and IAC would also maintain the above described landscaping /irrigation
