Messrs. Geoffrey Gwin, James Young, Howard Thompson and Tim
Graves of Santa Fe Realty Holding Company and Mr. Frank Brower of
P.O.D. all collaborated in making a comprehensive presentation on
the current status of the 126-acre "Pacific Center"
development.
Following their slide presentation, Vice Chairman Johnson asked
to see again a slide showing a building at the intersection of
Lyons Streets and Edinger. After viewing the slide in question,
Vice Chairman Johnson asked the representatives of Santa Fe
Realty if Lyons Street could be widened in the direction of their
property thus leaving the building in question untouched. Their
response was that it was conceptually possible but would create
many problems within their development as it is now planned.
After further discussion, Vice Chairman Johnson thanked the Santa
Fe representatives for their presentation and stated that he
found their proposed development to be most impressive.
Vice Chairman Johnson then recognized those in the audience who
