Minutes - City of San Leandro City Council and Page - 12 - Redevelopment Agency Meeting - November 4, 1996 Redevelopment Administrator Debbie Potter presented the Site Plan. She noted that there are two Property Owner Hearings on the Agenda - one for Council action and one for Agency action. For this meeting there will be one staff report addressing both items; the Property Owner Hearings will be conducted together. She said the Condition to build at the rear of the property was requested by the Nissan Dealership. At this time there is a 20 -foot access easement that benefits two properties located on Wayne Avenue. She said, if it is acquired, the property owners must be compensated for the loss of easement. She said appraisals have been made and property owners have received offers. In an effort to compensate the property owners for their loss in value, staff has provided for a replacement access for use as a driveway. The loss in value was determined to be a loss in parking; the compensation package includes a new driveway. She said due to the hazardous use at 2088 Wayne Avenue, the Fire Department has required a secondary access. The proposal is to acquire a portion of 2000 Wayne Avenue to create that access, as well as to create a new door. If this is done, there will be no loss in value. She said staff has met with each of the property owners and are currently in negotiations. She said staff is requesting approval of the Resolutions in order to move forward. Upon Mayor Corbett's request, Ms. Potter clarified a nonexclusive access easement as being used by the property owner, beneficiary, and emergency vehicles. She said easements are appraised at a percentage of the fee value, due to the owner remaining. She clarified that there will be no easement at 2094 Wayne Avenue; a new driveway is being created. Ms. Catalano explained that the easement is being acquired in order to extinguish it. Upon Council Member Glaze's request, Ms. Potter clarified the easement, parking, and access issues. She stated that there will be a loss of 5 -7 parking spaces on site that is included in the compensation. City Attorney Steve Meyers noted the original agreement did not require that the easements be obtained. Subsequent to that action, the Nissan Dealership now requires a building at the rear of the property. The acquisition of easements is before the Redevelopment Agency because it is a change in the manner in which the site was originally to be used. Mayor Corbett noted that the Property Owner Hearing is open. Mr Russell Salyard, owner of 2000 Wayne Avenue, and Mr. Ron Monk, came forward. Mr. Salyard said he has owned the property since 1959. He said he would like to expand his building and that the new Nissan building would be too close to his building and would not benefit his property. He said he would like to negotiate prior to the implementation of eminent domain proceedings.
