EXTENSION OF PARKING AUTHORITY
Mayor Green announced that at the invitation of the Council, two major
owners of property in the proposed Parking Authority area had been
invited to present their plans for development of their property.
Mr: Jack Froggatt, President of the Huntington Beach Company, 2110
Main Street, City, addressed Council and stated that his company felt
the Parking Authority objectives should be redefined so that the full
potential of the area is realized, rather than only the objective of
providing parking for beach visitors. He further stated that his
company would probably submit to a friendly condemnation on the north-
erly half of Parcel No. 2, with the condition that they retain and
develop the southerly portion of this parcel. Mr. Froggatt stated
that the Huntington Beach Company is conducting studies on this matter,
and the development of this portion could probably be concurrent with
the City'.s project.
Mr. Bill Wren, representing the Huntington Beach Company addressed
Council and presented a resume' of studies which were conducted in
1964. and 1966 relative to the existing possibilities of development
of the downtown area.
Mr. David Holt, representing his mother, Mrs. Martha Holt, addressed
Council and presented an architect's sketch illustrating the proposed
plans for development of their property. Considerable discussion was
held between the Council and Mr. Holt regarding his plans for develop-
ment of the property.
