4u: Bernardino Avenue. Mr. Sklar inquired as to why his property was left out of the Proposed Project. Mr. Sklar said he has owned the property for 15 years and has had a Tentative Map for 70 condominiums, which he has been unable to construct due to the flood control problem and the building mora- torium. Mr. Sklar said by being included in the project, there would be funds available to him to take care of the drainage problems. Mr. Sklar asked if it would be possible to be included in the proposed project. Redevelopment Manager Thornberry informed Mr. Sklar that as of January 1984, California Redevelopment Law was amended to include a requirement that a redevelopment project area be predominantly urbanized. Mrs. Thornberry said the project must consist of 80% developed land, includ- ing previously developed property and not more than 20% vacant land. Mrs. Thornberrystated after analyzing the survey area there was a ud y g y j g +ir meet call made as to what parcels would be included, as there was an excess of vacant land. Mrs. Thornberry said the public improvements, in particular the flood control facility, will certainly benefit Mr. Sklar's property and will reduce the cost to any property, inside and outside the project area, as far as future assessments that might have to be lieved for that flood control facility. After further discussion regarding a 10 to 12 month delay to amend the project should Mr. Sklar's property be included, Mr. Sklar stated he was not oppposed to the project and would not like to see a delay. Mr. Don Morrison, 1100 Coloma Rd., Placerville, Ca. asked why the area along Valley Boulevard was designated medium density residential? Redevelopment Manager Thornberry replied the Redevelopment Plan conforms to the City's General Plan and the current General Plan use. Mr. Richard McCalfin, 1509 Illinois Avenue, Fairmont, Ca., one of the owners of five acres along Eucalyptus Avenue, stated they are commercial/industrial builders and are in favor of the project, and assistance with improve- ments will help them in proceeding with an Industrial Park Development.
