l\UNUTES City of San Leandro City Council and San Leandro Redevelopment Agency Joint Meeting-June 7, 2004 Page 4 Counciltnember Santos asked for clarification of the Conditions of Approval requiring construction to commence within 12 months and to be con1pleted within 18 months and whether these limits would be a constraint on the applicant. Ms. Lorentz clarified that the time limits in the Conditions of Approval are the City's standard, and the applicant would need to adhere to the Redevelopment Agency's time limits which are stricter than the City's. Councilmember Santos asked if the Conditions could be modified to make them clearer. Mr. J en11anis noted that if the applicant experiences difficulty meeting the timeframe, staff can return to the Agency to modify the agreement. Counciln1eInber Glaze complimented Redevelopment staff on gIvIng a clear and concise presentation. He asked if, \vhen the project is completed, the property will go onto the regular tax rolls or stay within the tax increment area. Mr. J em1anis noted the property is within the Plaza project area, and agencies such as the school district and BART will receive their portion of property tax revenue through pass-through agreements. Councilmember Glaze noted that this was public land, and he asked if the funds collected from the sale of the property would go back into the area for public improveInents. Mr. Jermanis indicated that the Agency could direct staff to find opportunities to reinvest the funds within the project area. Counciltnember Glaze stated that he thinks this is an excellent proj ect and will be a wonderful addition to Davis Street. Councilmember Grant stated she likes the project, and it is a good fit for the property. She suggested that perhaps rather than just a flat fayade, there could be some relief added to the building. Councilmelnber Grant asked about the City's liability for any issues, such as asbestos, at the site, since the property is being purchased "as is." Ms. Lorentz noted that staff suspects the presence of asbestos and lead paint in the building. The applicants will sign a statement at escrow releasing the City from all liability associated with the building's condition. Councilmember Grant asked about the fences and walls proposed for the property. Ms. Lorentz described the plan for the proposed 6- foot masonry wall along the north and east perimeters with a section of wrought iron fencing behind Building B. .
