Item 2: Update on
History of Legal Proceedings and Council Decisions Regarding the Flanders
Mansion Property.
Assistant City Attorney Jon
Giffen presented his report providing a brief overview of the Flanders Mansion
legal history. Ultimately, in 2012, the City decided on thee options: 1.) Sale
of the mansion; 2.) Lease of the mansion; and 3.) Enter into an agreement for a
curator to live and work at the mansion. The City decided to lease the mansion
in 2012, but a potential Lessee never came forward. The EIR prepared by Denise
Duffy is now 5-6 years old, and would be applicable to a sale of the property,
but not a lease. An EIR also would not be necessary to a curatorship because it
would not involve a transfer of the title.
Mayor Dallas opened the Public
Hearing at 6:42 p.m.
Les Albiol said he has researched
the mansion back to 1970. One Council wanted to sell it, another wanted to turn
it into a business like a cooking school, but there were issues with parking.
He said he believes this council is at a particular unique position to go
forward with a curatorship, and he asked the Council to please consider this
course of action.
Skip Lloyd said he was happy to
see this on the agenda because the mansion is an integral part of the Mission
Trail Nature Preserve. He believes a fresh look at the EIR will probably be
necessary because it is not an open and shut case.
Gene Hughes said Flanders is a
unique asset and if a way can be found to preserve both the mansion and the
park, then that would help in managing both in a holistic fashion. He favors a
curatorship.
Karen Ferlito lives across the
canyon from the mansion. She said the park is just beginning to come into its
own, and urged Council not to create a holding within the park. Most land
trusts buy them up because there is always a conflict. A curatorship would
definitely be the best way to move forward.
Richard Kreitman reminded Council
about the election of 2009 when 66% of the population voted against retaining
ownership of the mansion. He doesn’t see the mansion as an asset, and admires
the Council for being willing to take it on again.
Mary Ponder urged the Council to
move forward with the curatorship, and to post the availability quickly. Perhaps
a special meeting in October could be arranged, and the mansion would provide
housing for a single family with no cost to the city for restoration. The time
for action is now.
Barbara Livingston said this
Council could distinguish itself in finding a solution to the mansion issue.
She prefers the curatorship option, and said it would make state history. It’s
done widely on the East Coast, but not so much here on the West Coast.
Trish Albiol spoke in favor of
curatorship.
Birdie Bialek Elliott said the
idea of curatorship is exciting, and thinks it would be a welcome addition to
the neighborhood.
Mike Brown also supports a
curatorship, and suggested thirty days for proposals.
Melanie Billig said the Flanders
Foundation Board feels strongly about the need for an RFP process, which could
be done quickly.
Mayor Dallas closed the Public
Hearing at 7:00 p.m.
After discussion from members of
the City Council, and after Mr. Rerig said this was for direction only from the
Council, discussion on this item ended at 7:16 p.m. with a general sense that a
curatorship is an attractive option, that the current bar for proposals was set
too high, and that a sale of the house should still be looked into to exhaust
all possibilities.

Update on the Residential Curator and Ground Lease Options Regarding the Use of
the Flanders Mansion, Provide Direction to Staff on these Options and Consider

Flanders Mansion.

Barbara Livingston - spoke in
favor of a curatorship
Sue McCloud – Asked that a
decision be postponed until additional information could be received.
Bertie Bialek Elliot - spoke in
favor of a curatorship
Councilmember Reimers said she is
not opposed to a curatorship, but is concerned about costs. A curator will have
a need for privacy. She sees Mr. Lloyd’s letter as a challenge for curators
living in the house.
Councilmember Richards asked for
clarification about the escrow account.
Mr. Rerig said the intention is
to set it up like a performance bond. The decision
about the amount of it is up to
council.
Councilmember Hardy said she asked
for an update on Flanders when she was appointed to council two years ago, and
that she commends Ms. Friedrichsen for the thorough staff report. She is in
favor of a curatorship, but is concerned about the minimal annual investment,
which she thinks is low. She also believes the submittal deadline is tight, and
that eight weeks seems better. She suggested frontloading the escrow account, but
was unsure of how much would be needed.
Mayor Dallas agreed that the
escrow account should be frontloaded, at least for the first five years.
Inspecting the house once per year seems in order, and he thinks six weeks is
plenty of time for submittals.
Mayor pro tem Theis said
she is also pro the curatorship option. It is a way to improve the property and
respect its historical nature. The EIR outlines the Conditions to take, and
60,000-75,000 per year in rent seems right, although the annual fee for
restoration needs to be higher. She thinks eight weeks is good for submittals,
and that the post of curator should be widely advertised.
Councilmember Reimers reiterated
that she has basic concerns. She wants people to enjoy a private home for
private reasons. The driveway should be their driveway, the porch should be
theirs, too.
Councilmember Richards agreed
with Ms. Theis, except for casting a wide
