P & Z Minutes Feb 5, 2018 Pg #4 body at our first workshop meeting has been in direct contact with him all week. He is not willing to sign at this point. I would appreciate if this board would look at the Agreement we presented him. We've been very consistent all along about what we were willing to do in Mr. Kinnaird's backyard. That was presented at all the board meetings that we've come before, the various boards of Mayfield Village. We've actually been through the Board of Zoning Appeals 3 times, two on our own behalf and once when the Village asked us to make accommodations on our site plan. We've had that landscape plan professionally designed, professionally costed, it came up to $5,300.00. Mr. Kinnaird had a different set of ideas, so we offered him $10,000.00. In that spread, there's plenty of money to build the mounds that he keeps insisting upon. In negotiations this past week with Mr. Hicks and Mr. Kinnaird directly, we were willing to increase that to $11,000.00 which is twice what we thought was a reasonable accommodation. That's in addition to the fact there's 30 feet of woods, an 8' fence, no bleed lighting regulations so no lighting will bleed onto his property and all storm water from our property will be held on site. We think we've met the zoning criteria that accommodates and respects his property. We tried to make every effort to go over and above that as was requested of us at the very beginning of this process to make improvements in his yard. We're hoping that this week he will sign the Agreement. I reiterate, his expectations I think are well beyond what is reasonable and we made every effort to make a reasonable offer and then essentially double it. I know Chairman Syracuse yon emphasized this was something you wanted to see by tonight's meeting, we tried to do that. It takes two parties to come to an agreement. I respectfully ask you to take that into consideration. Chairman Syracuse asked Mr. Marrelli, have you seen the Agreement, do you have any comment? Mr. Marrelli replied, I haven't seen the Ageement (a copy has since been received). I did talk to Mr. Kinnaird today. He said that the plan wasn't sufficient in his estimation that would allow him enough money to get the mounds built and enough tree cover to block out their building in his backyard according to his estimation. He reiterated that he's trying to get a landscape designer to put together a plan of sorts and he's not sure how much that's going to cost. Apparently he doesn't feel that $10,000 or $11,000 is going to be enough to haul in all the dirt he needs and all the cost of the evergreen. Chairman Syracuse asked, wasn't there talk at one of the meetings about using the dirt from the site? Thomas Jones replied, we don't know what's going to happen in the field when we're developing the site. We've told him verbally we could make accommodations to collect the dirt in the field. But, on paper we can't promise something that we're not sure we can deliver. I'd like to reiterate, I think the word reasonable needs to be examined. I can't build him TPC Golf Course mounds in his backyard, that's beyond reasonable. The landscape plans that we agreed to with him in his backyard from the very beginning has been presented at every meeting. He never made any direct objections and he was asked direct questions regarding his thoughts on the impact of our facility in comparison to the former plan which had 5 office buildings and parking lots pretty much up to his property line. To reiterate, and I don't want to sound like I'm
