Chairman Beswick called the meeting to order and
immediately recessed to a closed session for the
purpose of discussing property acquisition with its
negotiator. The meeting reconvened at 7:43 P.M.
Minutes of the regular meeting of December 15,
1987, were approved as submitted.
Deming Hotel City Preservation Officer Cozen reported that in
1985, the Historic and Scenic Preservation Commis-
sion reviewed the entire PSB site for possible
demolition. They determined that the Deming Hotel
building located at 526-528 North Orange Street,
among others, had historical and architectural
significance. PSB and the Redevelopment Agency
agreed; thus, the building was retained within the
PSB project site. The Historic Commission
nominated this building as an Historic resource on
August 6, 1987. At the request of the Redevelop-
ment Agency staff, the actual designation hearings
have been held off until design issues could be
smoothed out with the new owner. A public hearing
is scheduled for the Historic Commission on
January 21, 1988. Mr. Cozen further reported that
because the building is a nominated historic
resource, ordinance No. 1954 requires two
designation hearings be held (one at the Commission
level and one at the City Council level) prior to
any decision to alter or demolish the building.
Therefore, the Agency can only discuss this issue
at this meeting. Mr. Cozen provided the Historic
Inventory Form for this building for the Agency
members' information.
Mr. DeMirjyn stated he had been approached by
citizens and many felt the building was not worth
keeping. He stated he was ashamed to have a
building like this and felt it would be detrimental
to the project. He noted documents in the Building
and Safety Department indicating the building
inspector's findings was on file and available to
anyone that wished to read it and it showed a
number of deficiencies.
Responding the Agency members' questions, Director
Quaschnick said escrow on this property was
scheduled to close Friday, January 8, 1988, and
construction was to start in mid-January. Work on
the Deming Hotel building will coincide with the
construction of the new structures.
There being no further business, the meeting
adjourned at 7:55 P.M.
Next regular meeting, January 19, 1988.
