They have submitted and complied with all of the supporting documentation required of the permitting process. We are holding Aerial's check pending Commission action on this request.

Staff recommends approval.
The first parcel is a lot owned by Mr. and Mrs. Ziebart. The second parcel is owned by Maria Rao Trustee. These properties are the last of the parcels acquired by the City to construct the additional parking needed for City Hall. The City has negotiated with the property owners and their representatives for quite a while but have been unsuccessful. Due to the proposed time line for construction of the new building, it is necessary that the condemnation process begin immediately.
