RecreationandParkCommission | 2008-08-14 | 2 | the presentation. Mr. Hawke introduced Marty Buxton, Mission Valley Properties, Tim Hurley, BMS Design Group, and Herb Hampton, BMS Design Group who helped with the presentation. Director Lillard asked if there were any pocket parks. Mr. Hurley stated no. Commissioner Mariani asked if the street was private or public. Mr. Hurley stated that it would be a public street maintained by the HOA. Mr. Hawke stated that State Lands Trust has control of the property even thought the City owns the property. The Trust has overlying jurisdiction. To take the property out of the State Lands Trust there would need to be a swap. The area that is landscaped would stay in the State Lands Trust and the area that the homes would be built on would be swapped out of the State Lands Trust for other properties that the City owns. One of the areas that could potentially be swapped would be Mt. Trashmore (the old dump site). There is a list of other properties located around the island which could also be considered. Ultimately what will happen is that all the paving and the area identified as passive and active will stay within the State Lands Trust. Commissioner Brown asked who would maintain the area. Mr. Hawke stated that the HOA would maintain the area. This project is self-funded so there would not be any long-term maintenance needed from the City. Ms. Ott also stated that it will also still be owned by the City and publicly assessable. Commissioner Cooper asked Mr. Hawke to explain the land swap. Mr. Hawke stated that throughout the State of California, primarily along coastal areas, there was a State Lands Commission that was set up and lands that were along the coastal areas were put in a trust with the ideas that they would only be developed for maritime use. Commissioner Cooper stated that for clarification that the area where the homes were to be built would be taken out of the Trust and Mt. Trashmore would be put in the Trust. Commissioner Cooper asked how much the developers will pay to the City in addition to the land swap for the property. Mr. Hawke stated that those negotiations are still being held. All of the money paid for the property will go into improvement of the marina slips and marina properties. Once the Marina operator gets the improvements his lease rates increase. That will be the revenue that goes to the City. The City negotiated an extension of the lease and a higher rent for the existing lease as it is today, and any future improvements the City partakes in the increased revenue stream. Ms. Ott stated that those revenues will go into a Tidelands revenue fund that can be used to build additional parks and make improvements to other tidelands areas. Mr. Hawke stated that this is a very complex transaction/process, and political process. Legislation will have to be passed through the State. Commissioner Mariani asked how long the project has been going on. Mr. Hawke stated that they have been working on it for approximately seven years. Mr. Hurly stated that there would be approximately 350 parking spaces provided in the project. Director Lillard asked if there would be parking in the cul-de-sacs. Mr. Hurly stated no, there would not be room. Commissioner Cooper asked how many units would be built.
