The site is currently zoned for open space I would urge you to support Councilman Peterson's "H" Item (Item 29 on the Agenda) to direct the City Manager to prepare a written, 10-day notice to Christopher Homes for termination of the Exclusive Negotiating Agreement REBUTTAL TO ARGUMENT AGAINST MEASURE T Good News!! Your Yes vote on Measure T will not cost you one cent. A successful Yes Vote sets aside 1.4% (5 acres), of Central lark for a Senior Center_ No money is included in this measure. The only issue to be noted on is fire acres! A proposal to fund the oenter teaith developer fees owed to the city is under discussion by the Council. Any commitment as to cost and building size is contingent on this funding. No decision will be made without public input. The statements made by the opponents on this measure are inaccurate. Even if the developer financed proposal goes forward, there will be no adverse effects on other park projects. They will go forward as planned. it is projected that due to a more energy, efficient modern building design the net operating cost of the center will be no more than the existing 1940's rehabilitated building. Thus there will be no adverse financial impact on Police, Fire, Libraries, Beaches and infrastructure. The label "Palace in the Park" is unfair. The preliminary proposal by the consultant is similar to centers in surrounding cities An added benefit is returning the existing senior center to all downtowns residents use. The new center is not a commercial enterprise, but a humanitarian facility, which will provide needed programs for all seniors, present and future. If this site is not used, the costs of a new Senior Center will be prohibitive and a Center probably won't be built. st Dave Sullivan, Mayor of Huntington Beach sl Shirley Dettloff, Former Mayor of Huntington Beach s1 Norma Brandel Gibbs, Fortner Mayor of Huntington Beach sf Ralph Bauer, Fortner Mayor of Huntington Beach s/ Taut Harman.

Rodgers Park belongs to the citizens of HB and not to a select few. We, the citizens of HB, want green year round, not a short term green dollar sell off. In the 1990's Measure C was passed by the voters for a reason: to prevents the sell off of assets that actually belong to the citizens of HB and not a select few. The HB City Council should do their own due diligence and speak to the older generation Senior citizens who were around when Chevron donated the Rodgers site to be used as a Senior Center and then revert to a park. Just because the land is open space does not signify that it needs to be developed. Please think of the taxpaying citizen first, instead of the campaign contributions you received from the developers who could care less about us —the taxpayers who pay your salaries.

We the people have struggled with the redevelopment of the historic downtown Huntington Beach over the years. As we visit other cities, witnessing the successful renovations of their historic old buildings, and insightful city planning, we are saddened by the lack of insight and foresight of Huntington city planning. We are amazed that the city management is quick to add liquor licenses yet there is little done for families, especially children. The property on 17th and Orange known as the Roger's Senior Center is a crucial planning opportunity for the City of Huntington Beach. This project was promised to the downtown residents as a future park. As with other projects in Huntington downtown, promises are not always to be honored. If the City management truly represent the people, have a conscious, and want to make a correct and proper choice, they will support the creation of a beautiful park at the property known as Roger's Senior Center. Let this small jewel represent a beautiful rest area for families to meet and greet one another; a neighborhood zone for children to play, rather than their alley ways. I am asking as a resident that the city planners reevaluate the importance of consciously making moral decisions based on our most viable city attribute; families. Let not monetary incentives cloud a morally correct decision.

Friday, December 18, 2015 9.57 AM To: CITY COUNCIL Sub]ect: Rodgers Park December 18, 2015 Hello my name is Michelle Marciniec and I live on the corner of 18t" & Orange for 17 years. In fact, when we purchased our home in January of 99, our realtor told us that the park across the street was donated to the city and would always be recreational. I'm thankful to those of you who voted in favor of keeping it a park as it has been for 98 years and for thinking that we downtown residents are worthy of keeping this park. I'm disappointed that some want to sell the property and attempt to change it from recreational use to residential, I urge you to reconsider this action, for the following reasons: 1. That it is not in the spirit of the original contract about this property no matter what new law you were able to utilize. 2. That it is not what people came to expect when they voted for the new senior center. 3 1 believe it to be disastrous for numbered street children who drive to get to a park and don't have a sense of community here. Residents who live in and around Orange avenue put up with traffic Issues, PCH detours, constant burglaries, dog beach waste, the 4t" of July parade, the surf contest and beach parking issues most of the year. Why would you take away the only bright spot here that could really enhance our neighborhood? Or do we have to move to Newport Beach? They just got a beautiful park. I am telling everyone I see about this situation, and they are all horrified actually that you want to turn this park land Into more housing when it is already so crowded down here. While flying over the downtown area this week, my husband noticed that the Senior Center is on the only block between Goldenwest and Pacific City that is not filled with housing or businesses. Frankly, I'll be shocked if residents choose to vote against a park for children in downtown HB, most people will vote for something favorable like the Senior Center, but most won't vote against a park, it's very mean spirited.

The question is which use, public park or high density housing project, has the most potential to further the stated goals of the City Council: Service to our Community, Integrity, Employees, Professionalism, and Pride and Enjoyment of our Profession. I believe the answer to that is clearly to keep the promise to build a green space park and I hope that this is clear to each of you. I urge you to listen to all of the passionate residents who plan to attend this meeting and to vote your conscience. I trust that you will do what is right to restore voters' trust in you. thank you for your time, Barbara Robinson (tip 511 17th Street Huntington Beach, CA 92648-4017 714-614-2500 Esparza, Patty From: Fikes, Cathy Sent: Friday, December 18, 2015 11 48 AM To: Agenda Comment Cc: Fikes, Cathy, Dombo, Johanna, CITY COUNCIL Subject: FW Rodgers Senior's Center Site EIR input (EIR # 07-002) AGENDA COMMENT ✓ From: Barbara Robinson[mailto:barbarakrobinson@hotmail com] Sent: Friday, December 18, 2015 8:47 AM To: CITY COUNCIL Subject: Rodgers Senior's Center Site EIR input (EIR # 07-002) (this is a copy of what I submitted to John Ramirez for the EIR) This message serves as my written input regarding the proposed sale and reuse of the Rodgers Senior Center Site. I recognize that this is not the place to express my dismay with our elected public officials' betrayal. This is the forum to express my concerns about the environmental impact of this proposed plan. The question is which use, public park or high density housing project, has the potential to have a positive impact on the local environment and which has the potential to have a negative impact? The issues for consideration: 1. aesthetics and visual resources - a green space would be more pleasing to the eye than more housing units, more concrete and paved areas with only one tiny corner of planted area; 2. air quality - while more housing units would bring increased traffic and resultant exhaust fumes, air pollution and other toxic automotive waste, green space would actually improve the local air quality; 3. biological resources - increased housing would place a strain on the biological resources, a small two acre green space would provide habitat for small creatures and refresh local biological resources; 1 4. cultural resources - increased housing does nothing to enhance cultural resources but add more residents which places additional drain on the existing cultural resources, while a small green space has the potential to be a site for fairs, concerts and art exhibits; 5. geology and soils - setting aside the question of what might be dredged up when this site is developed for housing, the single small pocket park planned is insufficient drainage to meet the local water permeable and water permeable drainage goals. The reverse would be true if this becomes a small local park; 6. greenhouse gas emissions -just the added exhaust from the increased traffic would have a negative impact on the greenhouse gas emissions, while a green space full of plants and trees would produce fresh oxygen, counteracting existing greenhouse gas emissions; 7. hazards and hazardous materials - green space does not produce hazardous materials, increased human occupation does; 8. hydrology and water quality - as planned, the housing development is almost all paved over proving little opportunity to improve the water quality for the increased population to the area, but natural plantings improve our water quality; 9. land use and planning - almost a century of planning for the use of this parcel of land has been designed for public use, first as a resource for HB's senior citizens and after that to be a small park for the use of the citizens of HB, but increased housing will place an additional burden on planning for all HB resources; 10. noise and vibration - while the construction of a high density housing project will no doubt bring a temporary increase in noise and vibration pollution, the bigger concern is the continuing increase due to increased population and resulting traffic, as opposed to the peaceful respite a park would bring; 11. population, housing and employment - employment opportunities in HB have not kept pace with this increased population and housing, this specific proposed project affects two areas that are the areas with the z third and the eighth highest density population in HB, but a small park would not place any additional strain on the city for employment; 12 - public services - the development of several high density housing projects in HB over the last few years, most notably Bella Terra and Pacific City, places additional demand on all of the public services provided by the city of HB and cannot fail but to result in the need for increased budgets across all city departments or a default to the ability to adequately provide these services to its citizens; 13. recreation - high density housing places increased demand on existing recreation resources, even a small park provides an additional resource to meet the existing demand; 14. traffic and transportation -this proposal will bring increased traffic to an already congested area and does not include any accompanying increase in transportation resources or any increased parking resources which are already stressed on the streets surrounding the proposed project. These would not be an issue with a public park as many users of the park would simply walk to it; 15. utilities and service systems - the infrastructure in HB is not getting any younger. We need to direct resources toward updating it rather than adding population which will place more demand on a crumbling system. Almost 100 years ago when this parcel of land was gifted to HB, the grantors had no idea that by 2015 our environment would be so threatened that every new project would be required to submit to an onerous California Environmental Quality Act and Environmental Impact Report process. But even then, they knew the value of green space, clean air, and water resources for the citizens of HB. For this reason, they stipulated public use for the future citizens of HB. If a corporate entity can demonstrate this act of humanity toward the citizens of HB, can our elected officials do anything less for all of the current and future residents of HB? C This EIR process includes recommendations for mitigation. These problems would not need to be mitigated when they can so easily be avoided in the first place. Why would the HBCC and the planning and zoning departments approve anything that does not positively enhance our city? My biggest concern is that, since this plan as stated with 22 new housing units is consistent with the surrounding neighborhood, I don't understand why this process is necessary. This leads me to wonder if when this process is complete the developer won't say, "Oops my mistake, I meant 220 units" or some other switcheroo. From the initial proposal to move the senior center, this entire fiasco has been a trail of late breaking changes. thank you for your time, Barbara Robinson 511 17th Street Huntington Beach, CA 92648-4017 714-614-2500 4 Esparza, Patty From: Fikes, Cathy Sent: Friday, December 18, 2015 1 59 PM To: Agenda Comment Cc: Fikes, Cathy, Dombo, Johanna, CITY COUNCIL Subject: FW Public Park AGENDA COMMENT -----Original Message ----- From: Mail [mailto.rrrpsybus(@gmail.com] Sent: Friday, December 18, 2015 1:57 PM To: CITY COUNCIL Subject: Public Park As a long time resident of Huntington Beach I want you to know I will be encouraged to believe the city leaders & officials are honoring their promise to build a green space where the existing senior center now exists, when the center moves to its new quarters.

We agreed with your request at that time, and voted for this. It has come to our attention that a developer Christopher Homes has lobbied, promised and donated enough money to get your attention away from what the people want, to what is best for his company. We do not object to him doing this, as long as it was/is legal. What we do object is to the HB City Council even entertaining the idea of breaking their written promise to use, and in effect stealing our money. Had this intention to build houses on the current Senior Center lot been disclosed to us, we would not have voted to put 1 hands in our pockets and pull out money for a different Senior Center. You have been elected to represent the wishes of the HB residents, not a developer. Why is this Council even entertaining this idea, what's in it for you that is greater than the will of the people? I am outraged that this idea is even being discussed, when it was clearly voted down when you asked us for money for the new Senior Center. Shame on you, and thank you for your time.

As City leaders, you are entrusted with the stewardship and preservation of our public open space and park land. Like so many cities, we find ourselves in the unenviable position of lacking sufficient funds for future financial obligations due to the rapid escalation of unfunded liabilities. Similarly, we suffer from a lack of funds to maintain our roads and infrastructure. However, I am very much opposed to resorting to funding that deficit by selling off park land/open space. This sets a dangerous precedent and devalues the importance of our parks which belong to the citizens of this City. The park near my home provided many hours of joy and recreation for our children and our neighbor's families, and we should not take away that same privilege for the other neighborhoods. I am hopeful you will vote unanimously in favor of preserving the land and begin the planning for its future use for all residents.

In 2006 when approving the new senior center in Central Park voters were told that one of the benefits was the old property would be returned to "general park use." The voter pamphlet read: "an added benefit is returning the existing senior center to all downtown residents use." The handout written by "Support Our Seniors" who supported and lobbied for the new senior center stated; "the current downtown center will be returned to general park use." 2. We have recently added close to 3500 apartment units to our city with NO increase in park space (that's approximately 7000 more residents but no additional park space). Do we really have so much park land in this city that we need to give up 2 acres for homes? 3. When Chevron deeded the land to the city in 1917, the spirit and intent of the deal was to "maintain and keep in good condition the property as a public park and for no other reason." Now, I realize that in a 100 years things change. It's appropriate to review land use. That's why voters also voted for Measure C with the intent and purpose of a public vote before any public space is rezoned for another use. By entering into an exclusive agreement with a developer, the city has effectively hired a lobbyist to push voters towards building homes clearly not the intent of Measure C. 4. The current exclusive agreement with Christopher Homes suggests an $11 Million sales price which is $3 Million less than the previous agreement with Shea Homes. Are we expected to believe that the value of 2 acres in the middle of downtown Huntington Beach has declined 20% in less than a year while real estate prices citywide have been on the rise? Voters expect that before the city enters into exclusive agreements with developers to build homes on public land, the public votes on changing the land use from public to private. We expect that if or when city property is sold we receive fair market value and not a penny less. Voters expect that every city council member past and present makes decisions based on maintaining our quality of life and what is best for our city long term. And most importantly, voters expect that city council members elected to represent the residents will keep the promises made at the voting booth. Instead of spending $250,000 on an EIR to build homes, why don't you use the money to renovate the property and KEEP THE PROMISE made in 2006?

A HUGE piece of our beautiful park will never be the same, but we were told not to worry, because the old senior center would be turned into a park. Now the council is trying to sell this to a developer? Our city does not need the money that badly. We have very little open space left. Please spare us the little bit of open space we have left as well as the little bit of trust we have left in our elected officials. Thank you.

I recently moved to 19th St and Orange St in Huntington beach just around the corner from the Rodger's Park location In the short time that I have lived here, that overlapped with the operation of the Rodger's senior center, I walked by numerous gatherings at the senior center These gatherings exuded a simple and happy community atmosphere that made me feel quite comfortable in my new neighborhood When I learned that the city planned to sell a portion of the senior center site to a private developer, I was saddened that such a well off municipality would consider selling a public gathering space. The residents of the City of Huntington Beach will not benefit from the sale of a portion of the Rodgers Senior Center property to a private developer Adding 22 more high density homes to that neighborhood would be like adding another hot dog vendor in Disneyland. There doesn't seem to be a housing shortage in that neighborhood, so how will 22 more high density homes benefit the residents of said neighborhood9 This project would only benefit the developer and the profit made by the City of Huntington Beach would probably be misappropriated instead of being fully invested back in the community surrounding Rodgers Senior Center Bottom line is Huntington Beach is not in NEED of more housing, especially in the area surrounding Rodgers Senior Center However, a high density residential city (like Huntington Beach) is always in need of as much public open space that it can get. Please consider the residents and the well being of their community instead of the city coin purse when voting on Agenda Item 29 Thank you, Brendan Dwyer 415 19th St, Apt D Huntington Beach, CA Estanislau, Robin From: Catherine Johnson [eandcdisneyana@gmail com] Sent: Monday, December21, 2015 1 49 PM To Estanislau, Robin, CITY COUNCIL Subject: Rodgers Senior Center Hello City Council, my name is Catherine Johnson and I urge you to vote yes on Agenda Item #29.

It may be a legal transaction but I think it is ingenuous of the current council to renege on your predecessors' promises that the land would be used for community services (parks) if the new senior center was approved. When I cast my ballot on the senior center those many years ago I understood through the ballot comments to support this project that the current senior center property had to be used for community services and if it did not then the property reverts to Standard Oil which would most likely develop it commercially. Even though I don't live in that part of Huntington Beach I believe that area needs some open space.

I have spoken with residents from blocks around. We are all outraged at this new proposal, which feels like a direct betrayal by the city council to the measure passed On what basis does the city council ignore this clear directive and violate the trust of the people they are to represent? This is simple The ballot measure was for a park The ballot passed 1 BUILD THE PARK ON ORANGE AVE To even flirt with the idea of not building the park, much less a full residential development, violates what the community has voted for and passed, and the trust the city council is to have with the community they are supposed to represent BUILD THE PARK ON ORANGE AVE We have not forgotten The future park has been the talk of the neighbors for years) "I hope the park will have a playground " "I hope the park will have a winding path " "I can't wart for the park " Some of the city council members may have temporarily forgotten the promise to build a park, but the neighbors for many blocks around the future park have not And we will remember which city council members keep their word and follows through with the park on Orange Avenue, or not VOTE YES ON AGENDA ITEM 291 Thank you Ron Nylen 519 18th St Huntington Beach, CA 92648 Estanislau, Robin From: Sent: To: Cc: Subject: AGENDA COMMENT Dombo, Johanna Monday, December 21, 2015 4 08 PM Agenda Comment Fikes, Cathy, Dombo, Johanna, CITY COUNCIL FW Please vote YES on Agenda Item 29 From: Jessica Harrison [mailto Jessica harnson@nadel com] Sent: Monday, December 21, 2015 3 37 PM To: CITY COUNCIL Subject: Please vote YES on Agenda Item 29 Dear Huntington Beach City Council Members, Please vote YES on Agenda Item 29.

Relevant Development Experience With a proven track record of successful developments in Orange, Los Angeles, San Diego and Riverside Counties, Christopher Homes has been actively involved with the development of new home communities in Huntington Beach for nearly twenty years. Through its affiliation with PLC Land Company, Christopher has participated in creating the following new home neighborhoods in Huntington Beach: • St. Augustine I & Il at Huntington Seacliff —146 courtyard homes - 1997 • Peninsula Park at Huntington Seacliff — 91 single family homes - 1999 • Bel Air at Huntington Seacliff —102 attached townhomes - 2003 • Siena Townhomes at Huntington Seacliff — 21 attached townhomes - 2003 • MainPlace Apartment Homes at Huntington Seacliff — 29 apartment homes - 2002 3 HB -1097- Item 14. - 8 • Lighthouse at the Boardwalk — 65 single family homes - 2001 • Shoreline at the Boardwalk — 60 single family homes - 2001 • Sea Colony at the Waterfront — 78 attached luxury homes - 2003 • The Villas at Pacific Shores — 78 attached luxury courtyard homes - 2011 • The Bungalows at Pacific Shores —123 attached townhomes - 2011 The Huntington Seacliff Master Plan encompassed 2,200 new homes on 750 acres of former oilfields in central Huntington Beach. Conceived in the late 198Os and begun in the early 199Os, Huntington Seacliff required City of Huntington Beach and California Coastal Commission approval of a major general plan amendment, two specific plans, an environmental impact report, numerous conditional use permits and subdivision maps, and a development agreement. The comprehensive master plan provided new community identity and landscape design standards for new development, and included dedication of significant regional County open space and park land, construction of several new local neighborhood parks, a new elementary school, new neighborhood retail center, new City fire station and water reservoir, and significant improvements to the City's public streets, drainage, sewer and water infrastructure systems. As part of the community outreach effort for this large scale multi -year development, the developer created the Friends and Neighbors of Seacliff, Inc. (FANS, Inc) non-profit corporation to inform and engage Huntington Beach residents and businesses about the new Huntington Seacliff Master Plan and development. FANS, Inc. held monthly briefings with the developer and guest builders to learn about new neighborhoods and the status of community open space and infrastructure improvements. This process proved very beneficial in proactively dealing with questions and issues from the community and made the public hearings before the Planning Commission and City Council very efficient Also, through the efforts of its many active volunteer members and local businesses, FANS, Inc organized the funding, design, approvals, construction and construction of the FANS Central Park Bandstand, which was dedicated to the City and citizens of Huntington Beach in 2000. The FANS Central Park Bandstand is a popular and well - used amenity for outdoor concerts in the park. Christopher Homes and other guest builders within the Huntington Seacliff Master Plan set a new standard for high quality residential development in Huntington Beach, which over the years has contributed significantly to the City's property tax base and the local business community. 4 Item 14. - 9 HB -1098- Recent Development Experience Within the past five years, Christopher Homes has completed, or is currently active in, development of several new home communities in Huntington Beach, Westminster, Fullerton and Azusa, including the following: • Pacific Shores, Newland Street and Hamilton Avenue, Huntington Beach 0 201 townhomes on 23.1 gross acres, 22.1 net acres; 564,000 square feet of gross building area. o The Villas - 78 attached luxury courtyard homes (3,500 to 4,100 square feet) at 7.3 units per acre, and o The Bungalows - 123 attached townhomes (1,500 to 2,600 square feet) at 14.8 units per acre. o Project required a zoning change, entitlement plan amendment, revised tentative tract map, and included the design and development of the 2.0- acre Ralph H.

Item 14. - 11 HB -1100- 4. Proposer's Approach to Proiect The Rodgers site presents a fantastic opportunity to provide contemporary new homes in an eclectic coastal California neighborhood that is steps from the beach and abundant outdoor recreational opportunities. The proposed site development plan adheres to existing neighborhood patterns, building forms, orientation and massing, while preserving a welcoming corner of open space at a major local neighborhood intersection. The site is within walking or biking distance of local restaurants, retail shops and services, de-emphasizing dependence on the automobile for basic convenience purchases, recreation and social activity The design of the proposed 22 homes onents living spaces and patios to the pedestrian friendly streets of downtown Huntington Beach. Christopher Homes has developed an outstanding reputation for working with local neighborhoods and communities and being mindful of residents' concerns about new development and neighborhood change. We work closely with City staffs, Planning Commissions and City Councils to foster a sense of mutual trust and respect, and are careful to identify and understand all potential interests and stakeholders at the earliest stages of a project to be able to conduct an open dialog and make plan adjustments where necessary to garner public support for successful project approvals Required Approvals The proposed re -use of the Rodgers Senior Center site has been under consideration for many years. Once a local park and baseball field, the tremendous demand for social, health and wellness services for Huntington Beach's aging senior population soon led to changes and additions to the structures and parking improvements upon the site. Now that the new Central Park Senior Center development is moving forward, the Rodgers site is being considered for re -use and development of new homes and a public park. Development of the site for 22 new homes will require Planning Commission and City Council approval of a General Plan Amendment, Zoning Map Amendment, Conditional Use Permit, Tentative and Final Tract Maps, and a Focused Environmental Impact Report. Conveyance of all or a portion of the City -owned site will also require a special citywide election in compliance with Measure C, Section 612 of the City Charter. The community outreach and public review and hearing process for project approval will extend over a year's time. Although the proposed 22 home and park development is relatively small and has only minor localized impacts, the requirement for a citywide Measure C election has the potential to elevate the level of review and discussion and wider concerns about growth, development, loss of open space and neighborhood change. For this reason, a broad -based coalition of supporters will be needed to ensure approval of the required entitlements and a successful election outcome. 7 HB -1101- Item 14. - 12 Community Outreach The sale and proposed redevelopment of the existing senior center site with compatible, contemporary new homes offers numerous public benefits to the City of Huntington Beach, including: • One-time revenues from the land sale, which can be used for specific community needs as determined by the City Council. These could include: o Contribution toward construction of the new Senior Center in Huntington Central Park. o Contribution toward enhanced senior or community recreation services a Community infrastructure improvements o Enhancement of other community open space and recreation facilities • Ongoing property tax revenues from the sale of the lots and construction of high - value single family homes to pay for public safety services, local infrastructure repairs and improvements and other necessary municipal services. • Generally increased home values in the surrounding neighborhood as a result of new home sales. • New home residents' patronage and support for local restaurants, retailers and service businesses. • Development of a new public park at the corner of 17th Street and Orange Avenue for residents of the downtown neighborhood and surrounding areas. In spite of the many public benefits that the project will provide, we anticipate there will be spirited opposition from some local residents and the larger community over the issue of loss of open space and more development in a city some feel is already overcrowded. In order to identify potential project opponents and supporters, we recommend a vigorous and visible community outreach effort and campaign to fully vet the project and develop support for its approval by the Planning Commission, City Council and, ultimately, the voters of Huntington Beach. This effort would include polling on community attitudes toward new development in general, crafting effective messaging to develop community - wide support for the project and its significant public benefits, and ensuring that supporters vote in favor of the project at the special election. Christopher Homes, with its experience in the development of large master -planned communities in Huntington Beach (Huntington Seacliff) and Azusa (Rosedale) over multiple year cycles, understands and is uniquely qualified to carry out complex entitlement processes and community outreach programs resulting in successful developments Christopher Homes believes in using and supporting knowledgeable and capable local consultants, contractors, vendors and services wherever possible. We also support sharing our successes with local non-profit organizations and community groups to help foster a sense of local pride in our communities Item 14. - 13 xB -1102- 5. Content of Proposal Christopher Homes has developed preliminary architecture and a conceptual site plan showing the proposed development of 22 detached single family homes and a 17,000 square foot public park at the corner of 171h Street and Orange Avenue. A copy of the conceptual site plan is attached at Appendix B. The new homes feature two plans, each with three bedrooms and three bathrooms and averaging 2,800 square feet. The homes have living areas oriented toward the front of the home and alley -accessed two -car garages, as is typical for homes in the Townlot neighborhood. Private open space is provided either by a front porch, open California room, internal courtyard or rooftop deck. Similar to other new homes in this unique beach - oriented neighborhood, pricing would be in the $1.5-2.0 million range. The public park is programmed to include a small children's adventure play structure and shaded seating area for recreation and socialization opportunities at this key neighborhood intersection, while providing privacy for the abutting new homes The landscape palette has been designed to incorporate drought -tolerant native materials to minimize water use yet provide a peaceful, attractive environment for passive recreational use. Christopher Homes will be responsible for developing and coordinating all architectural, landscape and civil engineering and utility plans for redevelopment of this site, including demolition and removal of the existing structures and improvements on the property. Christopher will work closely with City staff departments, Community Services Commission, Planning Commission and City Council to assure that the new homes and park are compatible with the neighborhood and represent a high quality of execution and construction. We will also cooperate with City staff in coordinating all environmental consultants necessary for preparation of a focused Environmental Impact Report for the project. We understand that the technical studies and documents will be prepared under the direction of and per the scopes of work determined by the City of Huntington Beach staff, with all costs reimbursed by the developer Christopher will partner closely with the City Clerk and staff to schedule the special Measure C election after all necessary entitlements and CEQA documents have been approved by the City Council. We anticipate the entire entitlement and election process will take 18-24 months from inception, as shown on the preliminary schedule attached as Appendix F. Our proposal assumes that the residential lots will be acquired by the developer 90 days following certification of the special election, or approximately October 2017, with models open and initial home sales in April 2018. Christopher proposes to conduct bi-weekly meetings with key City staff to ensure that all departmental comments are addressed in a timely manner. We have found this approach E HB -1103- Item 14. - 14 to be very effective on our previous projects in the City of Huntington Beach and other cities Project updates could also be posted on the City's website for general information. im Item 14. - 15 HB -1104- 6.

Milstein, Adelmen is counsel representing the homeowners The 37 homes are spread across three different projects out of total 200+ homes that Christopher Homes built in Sycamore Creek. The nature of the alleged defects are wide ranging, however, many are focused on minor stucco cracking and paint issues. It appears many of the alleged defects are due to homeowner lack of maintenance issues. Many of the homes listed are not original homebuyers, and several of the units have gone through foreclosure. We have provided copies of all relevant plans specifications, soils reports, DRE public reports, etc. as requested by plaintiffs Inspection observations have now been completed on all the 37 homes. There is currently a stay of the SB 800 procedures. There has been no activity on tlus case for over a year. Our counsel has reached out to plaintiff's counsel, yet has not received any response. At this point, we do not know if plaintiff intend to further prosecute this claim. Plaintiffs have never produced a defect list or cost to repair and have made no settlement demands. Nabua vs Dash Network, Christopher Homes, Inc: et al On April 16, 2009 a pedestrian (15 year old walking to school bus stop) was hit and killed on Coral Canyon Rd in Corona. The street is located within the Heritage project, constructed by Christopher Homes, Inc. and completed in 2007. The driver, in a pickup truck working on behalf of Dish Network, stated he was traveling 20 to 25mph and did not have time to brake when Nabua ran right in front of the vehicle An onsite witness stated that Nabua was wearing earphones and did not look before he ran across the street. The investigating police officer concluded that the cause of the collision was Nabua's failure to yield the right of way as he crossed Coral Canyon Road. The driver of the vehicle was not cited Other defendants named in the complaint include Jorge Avila, the driver of the vehicle and Dish Network, who plaintiffs allege that Avila was operating the vehicle in the course and scope of his employment with Dish. The roadway was designed and constructed in accordance with County of Riverside standards All plans were approved by the County and all construction was inspected by County personnel. -Oil t- UH I E - 11 I LU31I This case was settled on the first day of trial in June, 2014 Dish/Zoom Network agreed to pay $1 million to plaintiffs (this was the amount of their insurance policy) and plaintiffs agreed to fully release all defendants. Christopher Homes did not contribute any money to the settlement and Dish did not file any cross complaint against Christopher Homes Anonical vs. PLC,Harveston LLC Claim brought by 13 homeowners in Harveston community in Temecula, CA in February, 2013 (93 unit project completed in 2006) alleging various construction defects. Site inspections were performed on the homes with the results reinforcing our belief that any needed repairs were generally minor in nature. Case was settled in June, 2014 for approximately $bk per unit, partially funded by insurance in excess of SIR. Clark vs. PLC 45 Ranch LLC Claim brought by 7 homeowners in 4S Ranch community in San Diego, CA in April, 2013 (108 unit project completed in 2003) alleging various constructions defects. 3 additional homeowners subsequently added. It appears that 2 of the homes are time barred due to 10 year statute of limitation Site inspections are scheduled for this summer. We have not experienced any unusual warranty request volume for these homes. Mediation is scheduled for late 2014, with a likely outcome of a nominal settlement in exchange for full release from homeowners. Tinker vs Lennar Homes, Lennar homesvs. PLC Land Compan J Claim brought by a single homeowner in Seacliff community in Huntington Beach against Lennar Homes for distress to their backyard and pool installed several years after home purchase. Lennar has filed cross complaint against PLC for improper grading and fill PLC sold lot to Lennar in 2002 after completion of grading (Lennar was also a partner in the land seller), however homeowner brought complaint against Lennar just within 10 year statute of purchasing home. It appears homeowner's pool contractor re -graded site and installed retaining wall that was insufficient to support pool. We have provided all original soils reports, compaction testing, etc. Lennar filed cross complaint against PLC in order to access the underlying land venture's insurance coverage.
