<br /> II , co <br /> Director Church advised the property under consideration had been in <br /> the Redevelopment District since 1982 and part of the original <br /> redevelopment area. <br /> - Mr. Hildebrand advised that the property under consideration this <br /> evening has been in the Sequoia Station Project from the beginning. <br /> Chairwoman la Berge invited Mr. Davies to address the Board on the <br /> matter before them this evening. <br /> Mr. Al Davies addressed the Council advising that the owners of the <br /> dealership have a lease with him that includes the property under <br /> consideration tonight which was originally deeded as one piece by the <br /> Southern Pacific when he purchased it in 1941. Mr. Davies provided a <br /> history of ownership of the properties in that area, and described the <br /> lease he has with the owners of the Chevrolet dealership by which he is <br /> bound. Mr. Davies discussed the unacceptability of trading the <br /> property under consideration for City owned property behind the Gypsy <br /> Cellar. Mr. Davies advised he cannot violate the lease he has with the <br /> owners of the dealership, and advised that in the original agreement <br /> with Southern Pacific there is a clause that if the alleyway is ever <br /> abandoned it would return to Southern Pacific, and he advised he had <br /> never abandoned it, but Southern Pacific had abandoned the north end of <br /> it. Mr. Davies advised that to say the dealership does not need that <br /> property is wrong. <br /> Redevelopment Attorney Schricker asked Mr. Davies if his statements <br /> were directed primarily toward the issue of his relationship with Mr. <br /> Kopf and the lease. <br /> - <br /> Mr. Davies responded he is tied to that lease. <br /> Mr. Schricker advised that those issues would be addressed in court <br /> proceedings rather than tonight. <br /> Mr. Davies said he realized that. <br /> Mr. Schricker advised the issue before the Agency tonight does not <br /> include matters of the relationship between Mr. Davies and his lessee. <br /> The Agency cannot do anythi ng about that. <br /> Mr. Davies asked why something could not be worked out that would be <br /> agreeable to both parties. <br /> Mr. Schricker advised that in eminent domain proceedings any time <br /> before the matter is submitted to the jury an owner is free to make an <br /> agreement or arrangement on hislher own. <br /> Redevelopment Agency Minutes <br /> ,June 8, 1992 <br /> Page 7 <br /> - <br /> MINUTE BOOK NO.1 <br /> Page No. 67 <br />
