Matters for the Information of the Council Mayor Mercer presented the Information Report of the Director of Planning and Community Development (IR 81:39) dated December 17, 1981, relative to notification procedures regarding planning matters. After discussion, Council instructed staff to notify every property owner within 300 feet of all annexation proceedings at the time of formal resolution. REPORTS OF THE CITY ATTORNEY Approval of Lee Sammis Contract Mr. Levine presented his report (SR 81:454) dated December 17, 1981, regarding this matter. He reviewed the two clauses that he recommended for addition relating to the equal treatment clause and previous agreements, for added protection of the City. Mr. Anthony Varni, representing Lee Sammis, stated this group is being asked to enter into an agreement in the Assessment District, and are committed to it no matter who else is in it. The way the Assessment District is set up they could be the only property in Zone A and would be required to pay for the entire freeway improvements. He asked City Council for assurance that other properties in the Stoneridge Center be included. Mr. Varni stated that it is difficult to determine at this time what will be improved and what will be unimproved in the future in the commercial area. He stated he felt all properties should be treated the same and the spread in the Assessment District be made equal. He stated his client's property is only 11 acres and needs protection. Mr. Varni requested the Minutes reflect the following: (1) that all Councilmen present support the concept of a fair and equitable spread of the assessment on all undeveloped office and commercial properties in the area of the Stoneridge Center; and (2) that the Council by refusing to add the language requested by Sammis with regard to "Equal Treatment" was following the recommendation of the City Attorney and did not intend to indicate that there would be unequal treatment of undeveloped office and commercial properties in the spread of the assessment for the Stoneridge Center. Council concurred.
