Environmental site assessments have been completed at the subject properties, and there are no known onsite conditions that would limit future development. Asbestos and lead-containing painUceramic tile Inspections have been completed and the recommendations will be performed during deconstruction. 44-887 San Antonio Circle: This property consists of a 7,500 square foot parcel with a 1,267 square foot residence and an attached garage. The property is zoned R-1 (Single Family Residential) and backs up to the Alessandro Alley. The southerly 27 feet (1,865 square feet) is necessary to implement the Alessandro Alley improvements.

It has been determined that the balance of the improvements remaining after removal of the covered patio are not suitable for low/moderate affordable housing, and would require significant improvements to bring the property up to current code requirements. Removal of the existing improvements will provide a remainder vacant lot of approximately 5,635 square feet that is smaller than allowable under current zoning requirements in an R-1 zone; therefore, not suitable for future low/moderate affordable housing without obtaining a variance. 44-870 San Antonio Circle: This property consists of a 14,580 square foot parcel with a 942 square foot residence, pool, and a detached garage.

The City Council approved the purchase of the subject property on April 24, 2009, and the Agency Board approved reimbursement to the City and for the Housing Authority to reimburse the Agency using Housing Set-Aside funds if it is determined that the property qualifies as low/moderate affordable housing. It has been determined that the improvements are not suitable for low/moderate affordable housing, and would require significant improvements to bring the property up to current code requirements.

The triplex is a nonconforming use on this parcel, which is zoned R-1 (Single Family Residential) and backs up to the Alessandro Alley. The southerly 27 feet (1,865 square feet) is necessary to implement the Alessandro Alley improvements. A portion of the triplex on the southerly portion of the property needs to be removed to fully implement the Alessandro Alley improvements, which will functionally require removal of the entire triplex.

Removal of the existing improvements will provide a remainder vacant lot of approximately 5,975 square feet that is smaller than allowable under current zoning requirements in an R-1 zone; therefore, not suitable for development of future low/moderate affordable housing without obtaining a variance. The three subject remainder parcels at 44-870 San Antonio Circle, 44-850 San Antonio Circle, and 44-845 San Clemente Circle when vacant can be combined into a larger parcel of 42,637 square feet for future low/moderate affordable housing. The two remainder parcels at 44-887 San Antonio Circle and 44-889 San Clemente Circle are smaller than allowable under current zoning requirements in an R-1 zone; however, if adjoining vacant parcels are acquired in the future they could be combined into large parcels that would be suitable for future low/moderate affordable housing. \�SRV-FIL2K3\Groupslyda\Staci Kolbeck\Bryce WhitelAlessandro Alley�Deconstruction Staff Report 021110.doc Staff Report Authorize City Clerk to Advertise and Call for Sealed Bids for deconstruction of five properties associated with the Alessandro Alley Improvement Project Page 4 of 4 February 11, 2010 The deconstruction will provide for environmentally friendly removal of the improvements from the five parcels and clearing of the sites including: • The removal of hazardous material. • Recycling/reuse of building materials with a goal of 75% diversion from the landfill of all building and site components. • Removal and green wasting of landscaping. • Rough grading and soil stabilization to prepare the site for future construction.
