housing downtown, and a consultant (Bay Area Economics) assisted the City by conducting
the study. With regard to the third item, Assistant Director Van Duyn stated that the City is
seeking acquisition of the 905 Linden Avenue property and an appraisal of the property is
required. Boardmember Penna questioned the process for hiring consultants and keeping the
Agency informed. Vice Chair Matsumoto stated that the City Council's Senior Housing
Subcommittee was the genesis for requesting a market study. Motion continued: To approve
the Consent Calendar as submitted. Unanimously approved by voice vote.
PUBLIC HEARING
3. Motion Authorizing the Use of Redevelopment Agency Funds to Demolish the Industrial
Hotel
Assistant Director Van Duyn introduced Chief Building Official Kirkman to present the staff
report. Mr. Steven Littman, attorney, interrupted the presentation and asked for a
continuance on behalf of the owner due to several reasons. He stated that the Patel family's
attorney, who has been representing them on this matter, is on vacation; that the owner of the
hotel, Mr. Raymond Patel, is ill; insufficient notice was given regarding the hearing, and the
plan check response date isn't until June 11, 1999. He explained that Mr. Karnilowicz, the
contractor, has not been able to contact the Chief Building Official and respond to plan check
questions, and the owner does wish to bring the building into compliance.
Building Official Kirkman reviewed the sequence of events that have occurred since August
of 1998 and notifications given the owner. He stated that structural analysis is still needed
and the recent submittal was insufficient.
Mr. Littman informed the Board that the contractor was unaware of the request for structural
analysis, and that the owner has sufficient financing to have the structure repaired and to
bring into code compliance.
Council discussed the request and reached a consensus to allow continuance of the item until
the July 14, 1999 regular meeting.
Motion-Mullin/Second-Penna: To continue the public hearing for authorizing the use of
Redevelopment Agency funds to demolish the Industrial Hotel to July 14, 1999.
Unanimously approved by voice vote.
