Regarding the Scoping Meeting Jan 4th, 2006

1. Perhaps someone should tape or record the meeting "for the record"
and to prevent lies about this meeting being told to the court 1-10-2007.
This MIGHT stop a few lies by the Corp. for NOT better housing.

2. I heard that Judge Wade is upset about the EXTREME density.
Speakers should forcefully say this is NOT the part of town where this
density should be located.

3. This is a ZONING issue requiring public hearings for a zoning change first.
NO where in town is SUPER high density units OR three story buildings allowed.
If changed, how about some similarily zoned land elsewhere?
like nearer to the freeway, shopping and/or near the high school?

IF the Plans are Changed and Are 2 Story Buildings Only, WHERE are those PLANS?

4. All building code requirements should be met, wherever this is built.
That means garages, parking, open space, drainage, noise etc.

5. I think there is a January 10 hearing on this case & others
Lots of residents should show up to listen & learn or rebutt

6. Questions for Corp. for Not Better Housing:

Why have you been paid $4 million dollars already? What was the money spent on?

Will you disclose a proforma analysis of the costs for this project to the public? If not, why not?

Do you do any of the apartment construction with your own company? If not, why not?

Do you do any of the leasing & management with your own company? If not, why not?

Does anyone in your company have a real estate license? a contractor's license? Who by name?

Do you maintain ownership in properties you arrange to have built? If so, why?

Will this project put Grand Terraces' housing element in compliance with the State of CA? How would it do that? If not, why is this not enough? How many low income units is enough?
