l . Parcel Map No . 5475 (to divide 1 lot into 4 lots)
City Manager presented a previously County approved
tentative map which, if approved by the Commission , would
cre�:te 4 individual lots on an existing parcel of land
located west of the Pines to Palms Shopping Center . The City
Manager indicated that we have no knowledge as to the reason
for the division but as long as the one small lot , approximately
60 ' x 125 ' in dimensions was absorbed into lot 3 , there would
be no objection to the division.
Commissioner McPherson moved , Commissioner Brush
seconded that this map be approved subject to staff conditions
�rr and that condition 4�8 be added as follows : "The final map that
is prepared shall not include parcel no . 4 as shown on tenta-
tive parcel map no . 5475 . The final map to be recorded shall
be limited to and create 3 separate parcels with parcel 4
being included a part of parcel 1 . " Motion carried unanimously .
2 . Determination of Reasonable Value - 16 unit apartment
project Candlewood Ave . - James Brown
The City Attorney submitted a report based upon the
last figures furnished by the applicant which indicated a
cost to reconstruct figure of $102 , 609 . 36, plus $2 , 000 for
grading and reconstructing carports , making a total of
$104 , 609 . 36 . Credits for salvagable material for carports
and retaining walls and footings amount to $4 , 000, leaving a
net cost of $100 , 609 . 36 against a reasonable value at the
time of destruction of $132 , 271 . 62 , or a 76 . 1% percentage .
The Planning Commission ' s attention was called to
a new set of figures provided by the applicant late on the
date of this meeting showing net cost to reconstruct had
been reduced to $89 , 383 . 44 , making the cost to reconstruct 67%
of the reasonable value of the structures at the time of the
loss .
� Commissioner Benson questioned Commission ' s considera-
tion of these new figures . She said there had been so many
changes since the initial consideration that she thought it
would be a mistake to even consider them.
Mr . Manuel Kopstein , speaking for the developer , said
the latest cost figures for reconstruction are today ' s
figures and that construction costs change almost daily.
Mr. Kopstein explained , however , that if the Commission
wished to base its decision on the City Attorney' s figures
he could only request that some $2 , 600 be allowed as a
credit for grading and , addition, thereto a credit should
be allowed for metal stairways that are salvagable and have
a value of approximately $1 ,000 which was not deducted from
�"'' the contract price for steel work.
Commissioner McPherson moved , Commissioner Brush
seconded that the original cost be established as $132 , 271
and the reconstruction cost as $95 , 939 , which is 72 . 3% of
the original cost . Motion carried by the following vote :
AYES : Aston; Brush; McPherson ; Clark
NOES : Benson
The meeting was adjourned at 10 : 43 P .M.
