Special Council Meeting 2-24-03 Page 9 y improvement on there. It was just looking at the land valuation because with O.D.O.T. out overlooking this frontage anyway, we figured the house was so far back it wasn't impacted. So, with Zako, thaYs something that years ago he conveyed the interest to us and from my perspective Pve looked at it like it, all right, that's like----- the Mason-Dixon Line because that takes us from S.O.M. to 271. IYs a straight line all the way across when we add his property. His property is just under 4 acres; it's like 3.8, 3.9. And he is in some 3 different zoning areas where he is setback. He has the residential frontage, he's got the warehouse/distribution at the rear and then office/lab in the middle. In all likelihood the rear of his property will eventually be frontage for the roadway we've anticipated will link North Commons Blvd. to whatever Goldberg builds on its lower end. When that happens, time would only tell. But there again, so I think there are a lot of strategies. That property is only to get more attractive, I think, for any development in that area, for some of the commercial benefit that it has. IYs not dissimilar to what we saw with Rivers when we purchased the Rivers' property. Because it's rear property that was landlocked that eventually became frontage on a roadway. So one day that property will, apart from just general appreciation of real estate, it will be worth more anyway. It is contiguous to where we have our ballfields, it is south of, and really more southeast of the wetland area. It doesn't go all the way back. Council President Buckholtz asked, does it back up to Beta, excuse me. I mean to the back yard of Beta. Mayor Rinker said no, no. We're talking Zako. Zako is a bowling lot property. It runs right along the southern portion of the old Howard Schulz farm. It doesn't go all the way back to I-271, it stops ? short. And the property we have--from the old Schulz farm actually-actually loops around behind it. So when you go off his west rear property line, you are walking on Mayfield Village property. His south property line abuts the Fappiano property. And then when his southwest corner then runs into our south property line with Goldberg. So what we do is we create one straight southerly boundary line in that axea. And it's extra space, it's extra land, it's nailing it down. Again, it's a passive use. It's part of, already preexisting parkland area that we have. Now that frontage is going to be closer to the more active recreational ideas tliat we have are looking at 2 ballfields there; from the way it's gone; as you move west, deeper into the land there, then iYs just more pristine, there's more passive use other than the fact that there will be a roadway that bisects that. Dr. Parker asked as far as his concern for maintaining the frontage or the fagade or whatever- Mayor Rinker said the house itself. Dr. Parker asked, is that like a deal-breaker? I mean is that something that.... Mayor Rinker said yeah, I think it is. Dr. Parker said I'm not saying why does he feel so strongly but it seems like it ties up a piece of property, doesn't it? I mean, in terms of...... Mayor Rinker said it does. I think-this is a little like. the Church. It is a different thing. By ; committing to maintaining it, you know we're definitely keeping it there. I think it has a physical ? presence that everybody likes. We probably could, under the right circumstances, find uses for it. It
