The Hyman Apartments and the Cooper Apartments are located, respectively, on ~he southeastern corner of the intersection of Hyman at Garmish and on the southeastern corner of the intersection 'of Cooper at West End Street. Both properties are zoned RMF. The applicant represents in his application that all units are rented long-term by locals, all of whom have signed the application. You will recall that this matter was tabled by the Council on May 22 at the request of Hare Danielson, Housing Authority. Marc felt that he should talk to each of the 'tenants prior to this council's approval, to be sure that they are sincere in their endorsement of the condominiumization application. Mark has done so and now recommends approval subject to the applicable provisions of Ordinance #53. Mark's additional comments are attached. The Planning and Zoning Commission reviewed the application at a special meeting on Hay 9 and recommended approval subject to: 1) Compliance with the option, right-of-first refusal, notic~ and lease restrictions of Ordinance #53 and 2) Satisfaction of the concerns expressed by City Engineering (copies of Dave Ellis' memos are included in the packet) . sr ,. . -. ,........ ~\ MEMO TO: RICHARD GRICE PLANNING DAVE ELLIS rntV ENGINEERING V < FROM: DATE: April 17, 1978 RE: Subdivision Exemption Request (Law five-plex), Lots A & B, Block 118 After a review of the improvement survey and an in- spection of the site at the corner of Cooper Avenue and West End Street the Engineering Department finds that the project is in substantial compliance with the subdivision design standards. There are no site problems which necessitate fur- ther review, and the project went through Ordinance 19 review in July of 1974 before Planning and Zoning Commission and City Council, Based upon these facts the Engineering Depart- ment recommends granting of the subdivision request subject to a written exemption agreement to be recorded and to con- tain the following three conditions: 1) that the applicant agree to JOln any improvement district for the construction of street improvements includ- ing curb, and gutter and sidewalk on Cooper Avenue, and 2) that he agree to reimburse the City directly should they choose to construct thes.e i:nprovemens without formation of an improvement district, and ' 3) that he agree to join any improvement districts for future drainage or underground utility improvements. jk ,..---;- . - """'I .....j MEMO TO: RICHARD GRICE PLANNING FROM: DAVE ELLIS 'q'y" ENGINEERING Vl./ DATE: April '17 . ,19.78 RE: Subdivision Exemption Request (Law four-plex), Lots A & B, Block 69 After reviewing the improvement survey and making an inspection of the site at the corner of Garmisch and Hyman the Engineering Department has determined that the project is in substantial compliance with the subdivision design standards. Street improvements including curb, gutter, and sidewalk are in on both streets and the electric and communication utili- ties are buried. The only item which appears to be inadequate is the parking. Eight spaces are required whereas between four and five are provided. Based upon these observations the Engineering Depart- ment recommends that the exemption be granted subject to one condition, that being the correction of the parking problem. Several additional spaces can be added behind the building by the relocation of some small trees and shrubs to the right- of-way boulevard, jk .""--" " . ,"', ....".,"' - APPLIC!\TION FOR EXEMPTION FROM 1'HE DEFINITION OF SUBDIVISION DY GENE LAW FOR 1\ FOURPLEX !\ND FIVEPLEX , Applicant, Gene Law, requests exemption from the definition I of subdivision for condominiumization of a fourplex and fivepl~x, i both owned by him. ! , I The fourplex, called the Hyman Apartments, is a four unit two-bedroom townhouse located on the corner of Hyman and Garmisch., Each unit contains 965 square feet.

Danielsen, Housing Director DATE: ,June 21, 1978 RE: Gene Law Condominiumization After finally contacting most of the tenants currently residing in the Hyman and Cooper Street Apartments, the following information was obtained: '- Hyman: Apt. 1: Luky Seymour--conflict of interest Apt. 2: Fatahand Onera Evans--medical doctor who moved in about one ITDnth ago, did not know until last week that unit was up for condominiumization. Dr. Evans indicated that condominiumization would not affect him as he would not remain there anyway. Apt. 3: Bill and Carol Kane--support application, was offered a reasonable price to buy it; 940 sq. ft. unit, price in 80's. Bill and Carol will be leaving anyway, for a Midland Park unit. Apt. 4: Al Lyons--out of town. Cooper: Apt. 1: Robert Robins--out of town. Apt. 2: Al Romanoski~-pays total of $500/month for unfurnished 1 bedroom unit. Wants to live elsewhere anyway as it is too expensive, so he does not care what happens. Apt. 3: Francis Marley--works at Leather Fetish, also pays total of $500/month including utilities for a 1 bedroom unit. Would like to see'condominiumization happen as she would like to buy a unit. Apt. ,4: Jeff Hanna--unable to contact; Apt. 5: Paul Fields--supports condominiumization as long as rent is not raised and he can live out the lease.
