The initial lease period to run from April 10, 1972 to June 30, 1974 during which time the lessee will develop a capital improvement proposal. Market analysis City Attorney Lindberg commented on certain aspects of the revised lease, and indicated that if the lease were to go out to bids again, the new bidders would want a market analysis before submitting their bids. Council discussion ensued on the pros and cons of requiring a market analysis. Dick Agee, Lessee Mr. Agee stated he needed a feasibility Motel construction study, as he has talked to several people interested in putting money into this project. He would not, however, want to stand the expense of a market analysis, which he felt would cost approximately $$,000. Mr. Agee spoke in favor of con- structing a first-class motel just west of the clubhouse which would assure his getting financial backing for the project. Mr. Agee claimed this motel would be built entirely by the investors with no cost!to the City. There would be a SO-year lease on the motel; after the SO years, the City would take ownership. In the meantime, the City would realize a monthly percentage from the motel operation. Open bid Mr. Agee added that if the Council does submit this to open bid, it would go against him personally and all the time, effort and money he put into the project would be futile. Profit under present lease In answer to Councilman Scott's inquiry, Mr. Agee stated it was not possible to make a profit under the present o~erating lease; however, if things were left as they are now, without any capital improvement plan, he could realize a profit. Motel project Councilman Egdahl asked if the capital im- provements were not passible unless the con~ept of going with a motel makes feasible thc funding of capital improvements. Mr. Agee preferred not to make any statement on this at this time. Hc will be back to the Council at a later time with a complete package, with costs, plans and scheduling of the motel project~ New lease Councilman Hobel remarked that since the le&see has not performed to the terms of the lease, the lease becomes null and void at this point. In fact, the }essee is operating under a month to month basis until a new lease is drafted. City Attorney Lindberg stated it was the option of the City to terminate the lease. The Council has the alternative of modifying the lease, terminating the lease, or having the lessee continue on a month to month basis. Mr. Agee asked that if a new lessee were proposed, he would ask that he be paid for the improvements he put in. Market analysis Councilman Hyde commented that what is being proposed here by the City Manager is a two- year moratorium to give the lessee time to put together a package f~x Council approval. Mayor Hamilton felt that the market analysis should be a part of the first year, and it should be up to the lessee to get this done. - 2 - Motion for lease It was moved by Councilman Egdahl, seconded amendment by Councilman Hyde and unanimously carried that the lease agreement with Mr. Dick Agee be amended in aCC~dance with the eleven re- visions submitted by the City Manager, for a two year period. Motel construction The Council concurred that this was a two- year period of time on the original proposal. In effect, the Council is giving the lessee time to come up with something approximating the original proposal. Any significant de- viation from that, such as the motel proposal, would go out to all parties interested. If, after two years, the lessee can come up with a significant proposal, then, at that time, the Council will evaluate the situation. Motion revised Councilman Egdahl revised the motion to state that an amended agreement be brought back to the Council. Councilman Hyde agreed to thc second and the motion carried unani- mously. Recess A recess was called at 4:3S p.m. and the meeting reconvened at 4:4S p.m. RELATIONSHIP OF PLANNED It was moved by Mayor Hamilton, seconded by UNIT DEVELOPMENT PROCESS Councilman Hyde and unanimously carried TO CITYWlDE DENSITY that this item be held over for the next Council Conference. EQUESTRIAN AND BICYCLE Mr. Norman Williams, Senior Planner, sub- CROSSING AT PALOMAR mitted a map noting the proposed route. He STREET AND INTERSTATE 805 referre~ to the written memo sent to the Council in which they discussed the possibility of providing equestrian and bicycle crossings at the point where Palomar Street crosses 805. The County's plan ha~ an equestrian trail on the easement that mxtends fl~km:~be east to the freeway and then swings north continuing to Bradley's stable in the Sweetwater Valley. It would be the recommendation of the Director of Planning that the City discontinue any attempts to provide equestrian crossings over Interstate 805 and confine the planning implementation efforts for such trails to the area east of the freeway. Railroad right of Councilman Egdahl referred to a proposal that way for bike path the ~ailroad right of way be obtained through Imperial Beach and to Coronado for a bicycle path. Motion to support It was moved by Councilman Egdahl, seconded by Councilman Scott and unanimously carried that the Council support any effort to ob- tain this right of way, and that a letter be sent to National City, Imperial Beach and Coronado informing them of this support. Palomar and Oleander Streets Councilman Scott discussed Palomar Street, east of 805 and Oleander. There are 20 acres in this area owned by the City. He would like to see the design of Palomar, as it goes across, to meet Oleander Avenue; that it will not be a major street, and - 3 - that Oleander will not be developed all the way across. This street should be kept as open as possible. Councilman Scott suggested going into negotiations with American Housing Guild to buy the property to keep this space open, so that no major streets will be developed through this area. Motion to ~efer to staff It was moved by Councilman Scott, seconded by Councilman Egdahl and unanimously car- ried that this matter be =eferred to staff to look into the possibility of not develop- ing Palomar and Oleander Streets as major collector streets, and other alternatives be looked into.
