40 <br />Regular Council Meeting <br />4/18/88 <br />Page 10 <br />Mr. Rife said we,would like to see it tabled tonight and for them to present <br />us with some form of landscaping plan to cover the 90' buffer zone when they <br />come back to make their presentation and we hope Council supports u's. " <br />Mrs. Buzek said after seeing the drawing she feels the landscaping is more <br />than adequate. If Council and Mr. Feneli can assure us that if you sign an <br />agreement when the future expansion comes that we will definitely have a say <br />in this and that this will happen with additional landscaping, Mrs. Buzek <br />said that she certainly would not object to that, She asked whe"re the <br />Worton Park sign and the Progressive sign would be placed. <br />Mr. Feneli said that the Progressive sign had to be on commercial property <br />so it would have to be on the property east of the existing drive. <br />Mr. Basile said that the existing Worton Park sign is in the right-of-way, <br />Village property. _ <br />David Hopcraft, 1018 Woodlane, said he is concerned about the sale of the <br />houses. He asked if the people present from Progressive could share with us <br />their intentions as to a timetable for the sale of the houses, pricing, and <br />fair market value. Mr. Bloomfield, Progressive Corp:, said the houses are on the market and <br />they should be sold as soon as possible. He said there are tenants in all <br />the houses; there are lease,agreements which they must honor. Some of the <br />lease agreements go as long as October. They are in the process of evicting <br />one tenant. Unfortunately, the condition of the house is such that it would <br />deem inappropriate to put it on the market now. The tenant has agreed to be <br />out by the end of the month. When he gets out, they will paint the house <br />and fix it up and get it into the condition for sale. He said they want to <br />sell them absolutely as fastas possible'. He has referred calls to the real <br />estate people. They have no intention of doing anything other than selling <br />the houses as fast as we possibly can. <br />Mr. Bloomfield gave Mrs. Mills the real estate information. Mrs. Mills said <br />the house at 820 Worton Park was listed on 2/4/88 for $100,000 and changed <br />on 4/1/88 to $89,900. The house at 849 Worton Park was listed on 4/1/88 at <br />$112,500 but is missing on the computer. She said if you have this <br />agreement signed, there is a limitation when they have to be put in the <br />computer or, the agent is fined. Mrs. Mills said that there are four signed <br />listing agreements here. The house at 875 was listed on 4/1/88 for <br />$129,900. She said the house at 833 was listed on 4/1/88 for $94,500. She <br />said that the problem since these are rental properties is that the tenant <br />must be given 24 hour notice and they can refuse to show the house. <br />Mr. Hopcraft asked what the houses purchased for by Progressive. <br />Mrse Mills said that where they are listed price wise now are within a fair <br />market rangea <br />Mr. Leppla said the problem is the agreement signed with the Village and <br />Progressive is what Section 11 cited and we went over that and the Planning <br />and Zoning Commission brought up why it hasn't been enhanced along the <br />parking lot plus a 90' buffer, and you've made the comment that it's awful <br />vague, (the language), that it can go either way. The problem we have is <br />that 5 of the 6 members of the committee did not write that final language,
