This letter will also serve as my notice to the City of my objection to redevelopment if in fact the following items are not true. 1. We identified 3 properties that we own that are included within the redevelopment district: San Fernando Road 2827-003-016, 017, 018, 019, 020 and 021 (part owner of Parcel Numbers 2827-003-016, 017, 018, 019) 24421 Chestnut St. 2831-008-003 23045 Drayton St. 2836-008-047 2. The City will not impose any new or additional taxes or fees for properties located within the redevelopment district due to redevelopment. 3.

June 24, 1997 Mr. Lyle Olsen Olsen Properties 24599 Wayman Street Newhall, CA 91321 RE: Newhall Redevelopment Project Dear Mr. Olsen: The City of Santa Clarita has requested GRC Redevelopment Consultants to write you this letter in response to your letter of June 4, 1997, Redevelopment will not impose any new or additional taxes or fees on your property as a result of redevelopment. Your basic property tax rate is fixed by the California Constitution (Proposition 13), and a redevelopment agency may not increase this rate, The only way the basic property tax rate can be increased is through a vote of the people. Likewise, a redevelopment agency cannot place any additional fees on your property. The proposed Newhall Redevelopment Plan places no additional building or zoning requirements on your property. City zoning and other building regulations will apply to your property. Any zoning changes or other building regulation changes would come through the City, and would include the normal public hearing and notification process, In short, redevelopment would not result in any changes to building or zoning regulations affecting your property. As redevelopment funds become available, various assistance programs will be funded under the proposed Newhall Redevelopment Plan. These could include such programs as housing rehabilitation assistance, business rehabilitation programs, public improvement programs, and other assistance aimed at helping property owners and tenants. These programs are authorized under the proposed Newhall Redevelopment Plan. Your letter of June 4, 1997, and this response will be placed in the formal record, and will shared with the City Council at their June 24, 1997, public hearing. We certainly hope the above answers your questions, and that we can count on your future support of the Newhall Redevelopment Plan. Sincerely, GRC Redevelopment Consultants Ernest W.

In the letter, you objected to the Newhall Redevelopment Plan because your property could be acquired by eminent domain. Our records indicate that the address on your letter is occupied for residential purposes. In this case, your property would not be subject to purchase through eminent domain. All properties used for residential purposes during the 90 days preceding a decision to use eminent domain are exempt from eminent domain. I hope this answers your question. If you have any others, please do not hesitate to contact me at the phone number below, or Glenn Adamick at the City of Santa Clarita. Sincerely, GRC Rede pment Consultants Ernest W.

June 24, 1997 Roger D. Haring, MD Linda E. Haring 24515 Kansas Street Newhall, CA 91321 RE; Your Letter of June 24, 1997 Dear Dr. Haring and Linda Haring: The City of Santa Clarita has requested that GRC Redevelopment Consultants respond to your letter of June 24, 1997, regarding the Newhall Redevelopment Plan. In the letter, you objected to the Newhall Redevelopment Plan because your property could be acquired by eminent domain. Our records indicate that the address on your letter is occupied as a medical office. In this case, your property could be subject to purchase through eminent domain, unless you also live on the property. Please rest assured that the Agency presently has no intention of purchasing the property at your address. Purchase of property through eminent domain is only a last resort option if open market negotiations for acquisition fail. Any property purchased through eminent domain must be paid for at full market value, as determined through independent appraisals. The eminent domain process is very long, complex, and extremely costly for any public agency, including the redevelopment agency. At the same time, there are significant tax and relocation benefits for the property seller and any tenants. I hope this answers your question. If you have any others, please do not hesitate to contact me at the phone number below, or Glenn Adamick at the City of Santa Clarita, Sincerely, GRC Redevelopment Consultants Ernest W.
