Minutes of the Special Meeting of Council Monday, January 9, 2017_ - Page 3 Center immediately behind the subject vacant property. My point is, from what was originally subrriitted back in 2003 b.ased on discussions witli Village officials, we have two stories presently reduced from three stories, 52 units reduced from what was previously subrnitted as 80, 45,000 square feet reduced from 75,000 and there is a State requireinent of 100 foot setback from the gas well. I understand having been here before and also in front of Planning and Zoning Commission that there are development concerns. All of those issues will be addressed assuming that we go forward with the vote and the vote is affirmative. Tliat is the request. We suggesf respectfully that it is the proper request and should be seriously considered. Council President Saponaro asked is there anyone else in the audience that would like to speak on this? Please state your name and address for the record. David Hoehnen 750 Robley Lane My wife and I have lived here for over 50 years. We love it here. We would like to see it stay as much as it. is now in the future. I am not here to argue the pros and cons of rezoning the property in question. I a1n here to address those of you who have already made the decision to oppose the rezoning. I ask you to make your decision clear tonight by voting against Ordinance 2016-20. The voters of this Village including myself would like to know how each of you stands on this issue as it progresses through Council meetings, etc. We need to know now how you stand. This is the best way far you to tell us. Vote against this Ordinance tonight. The propert y owner - as his lawyer has mentioned has other options available to him. As you all know, he can circulate a petition to get the voters of this Village to vote on whether or not it should be rezoned. I don't think Council needs to help them along. I think Council needs to stay neutral and if you do pass this Ordinance tonight, my feeling is that a significant number of Villagers will think Council approves the rezoning. We don't want that to happen. You should not. I ask you to bear that in mind when you vote this evening. Thank you. Council President Saponaro stated, thank you Mr. Hoehnen. Is there anyone else that would like to be heard? Sara Calo 6801 Eastgate Drive I am a licensed realtor in the State of Ohio. I also serve on the Citizen's Advisory Committee. We have heard some of this discussion at our Citizen's Advisory. I would like to address this gentleman. Thank you for your commentary. You presented what I would call_ a contingency plan and that is that you are not going to tell us about those gas wells and the sewer drains and all that stuff until it is approved. I am thinking, I would want to know those things before it is approved. I would like to know that answer if that makes sense.
