Mr. Kinnahan briefly explained the Mall's revised site plan
and construction schedule for the proposed expansion, The
most recent site plan, dated March 9, which had been filed by
the Mall developers for the zone change and environmental
approvals, required as part of this process, was displayed by
Mr. Kinnahan, Council had previously seen a site plan very
similar to the plan which was before them. Mr, Kinnahan
pointed out the major differences between the original plan
as proposed and the revised plan,
Nordstrom's was now situated in a slightly southerly position
with the entry corridor now leading directly into Nordstrom's.
Robinson's, Mr, Kinnahan pointed out now plans to expand their
building more to the north rather than to the east into race
track parking. The developers have included a food court in
the proposed expansion which would be located adjacent to the
J. C. Penney store on. the second floor. The food court will
be, basically, a number ,of fast food restaurants, These are
the basic changes in the plan, according to Mr. Kinnahan,
The development schedule begins with the excavation west of
the proposed Nordstrom site which will result in a parking
area at ground level off of the Nordstrom building, The
developers propose to move the excavated soil to a 9,6 acre
site which is r,1trrently race track parking. This would raise
the elevation for grading and drainage purposes, This
easterly parking lot is scheduled for completion in the fall
of 1992, The food court and the Robinson's expansion are
scheduled for completion by fall of 1993. Then one year
later, fall of 1994, the plan is to complete Nordstrom's and
the lower parking level adjacent to Nordstrom's on the west
side. Mr. Kinnahan noted that the Mall developer/owners have
requested assistance from the City, "The assistance that the

City would provide, if it elects to do so, must be in a form
to meet certain legal tests, One of those tests is that it
has to be either a lease or the purchase of an easement", The
area the developers have discussed with staff is the eastern
parking lot, the possibility of leasing or acquiring an
easement or parking in all or part of that particular parking
area.
Mr. Kinnahan commented that there had been some disagreement
between the Hahn Company and Keyser-Marston, the City
consultants, which have been somewhat reconciled and lean
toward the construction interest, In regard to the parking
structure which had originally been proposed, the May Company
is no longer a part of the Mall expans ion, therefore, a
parking structure is no longer needed, Mr, Kinnahan noted
that the proposed Robinson's enlarge~ent could be as much as
70,000 square feet,
The City Attorney announced that, "pursuant to Government Code
54956,8 the City Council will now go into a Closed Session for
the purpose of instructing City negotiators and Mr. Kinnahan
and the City Manager, with regard to the terms and price for
a potential public parking lot lease on certain property
adjacent to the Mall as shown on the site plan. These
negotiations are taking place with William Doyle of the Hahn
Company and Glen Carpenter of Santa Anita Realty. So with
that, we can now adjourn to a Closed Session",
At 6: 10 p, m, the City Council entered the CLOSED SESSION,
RECONVENED AND ADJOURNED at 7:10 p.m. to the Adjourned Regular
Meeting this date,
