PUBLIC COMMENTS
Rollo West stated that Huntington Beach High School student parking. is
creating difficulties in the adjacent residential area. He suggested the City
acquire additional land in conjunction with the Civic Center Master Plan land
boundary to help solve high school parking problems.
Paul Picard addressed Council regarding his concern about lack of parking for
residential areas due to student parking. He stated he believes the
rebuilding of the pier is an important issue. He suggested that developers
buy their own property rather than the City acquiring it by eminent domain.
Dick Dusterhoft spoke on behalf of residents near Huntington Beach High School
requesting permit parking. He maintained the school is not utilizing their
back parking lot and that permit parking would insure available parking for
residents. He requested that stop signs on Utica Avenue at the intersections
of Park and Pine Streets be installed and that the yield sign at the, inter-
section of Main Street and Utica Avenue be changed to a stop sign.
George Arnold stated that he believed the pier should be reopened because
divers reported there were no cracks in the pilings.

Dick Dusterhoft addressed Council and presented informal petitions signed by
approximately 64 residents requesting that Council establish permit parking in
the area of Main, Park, Pine, Utica, and W. Springfield, as the area is im-
pacted by Huntington Beach Union High School students parking on these
streets. The petition requested that a stop sign be installed on Utica Avenue
at the intersections of Park Avenue and Pine Streets, as has been done on
W. Springfield and that the yield sign at the intersection of Main Street and
Utica Avenue be changed to a stop sign.

(Redevelopment Agency) PUBLIC HEARING - RESOLUTION NO 158 - ADOPTED
CQ`
AUISITION OF PROPERTY BY EMINENT DOMAIN - GOSNEY PROPERTY - AP #024-153-12
(408-410 PCH) - MAIN -PIER REDEVELOPMENT PROJECT AREA
The Mayor/Chairman announced that this was the day and hour set for a public
hearing continued open from May 16, 1988, to consider the adoption of Resolu-
tion No. 158 authorizing the acquisition of property by eminent domain at
408-410 Pacific Coast Highway in the Main -Pier Redevelopment Project Area.
The Mayor/Chairman stated that this item was a noticed hearing and only those
property owners, or their representatives, who have filed a timely request
with the City Clerk shall be allowed to speak. He stated that the noticed
hearing relate solely to the issues of: the public interest and necessity;
the greatest public good and least private injury; necessity for the proposed
project; and the public use for which the property is to be taken. He in=
formed Council that not a part of the consideration is the question of
compensation since that subject is for the courts to ultimately decide at a
later date.
Doug La Belle, Deputy City Administrator/Community Development, stated for the
record this particular parcel and the three lots that comprise the parcel are
key to the redevelopment of the site and failure to acquire this property by
the Agency would preclude a critical redevelopment project from moving
forward. The current use of this site is underproductive in terms of the phy-
sical improvements on the site and is not the highest and best use, thus the
greatest public benefit and good is not being derived. The proposed mixed use.
redevelopment plan will lead to a higher and better use of the property
towards the public good and benefit. Acquiring this site will add to the.
Agency's holdings and will facilitate the ultimate redevelopment of the total -
site.
Jay Beard, attorney representing Mr. Gosney, requested Council not to adopt.
theme resolution of necessity, but to continue negotiation. with property own-
ers He stated he believed that the Disposition and Development Agreement had
expired.
Rich Riel, appraiser for the property, requested additional time for
negotiation.
There being no one present to speak further on the matter and there being no
further protests filed, either oral or written, the hearing was closed by the
Mayor/Chairman.
