BOA Minutes July 6, 2017 Pg #9 ? I authority to vote this up or down. If you vote it down because we can't serve every single person, that's the situation you have. I would encourage more services for-seniors, whatever, however it could be done and encourage our society as well to be more responsible and take care of our parents. Mr. Diemert asked Mr. Ritley to submit a copy of the drive time demographic chart for the record. Mr. Ritley states, one of the altematives is we have zoning on the property now, what's wrong with that7 There is something wrong with that. There's a deficiency for this piece of property, 2.6 driving miles to get onto the freeway. Office tenants have great choices where they're going to locate. Everything is linked in a chain of competidon. You can go over to Science Park in Beachwood or the of?'ice parks in Solon or Mentor, these are all high speed access on the freeways. Some of those locations are slated for further development especially Chagrin Highlands. When you look at #his slow growth occurring in Cleveland, you're going to go to those areas that have more appeal, visibility, accessibility and reputation. This-location for office users is-lost up in that space that's covered by all this beautiful land that opens up for parks, cemetery, two regional park systems coming together. The idea that somebody's going to rush up there and bury themselves in the trees away from the freeway with no advertising value at the site, is a poor decision on the part of an office user. With respect to the research facility, there're a lot of better places. You want to be in vibrant places, you want access to erlucation because the context .point will be the training of these people, education in getting their Mesters Degrees & PhD's to be the best kinds of researchers they could be. In the medical profession, we have two large systems as clients in our office and I've been studying this issue with them over the past 30 years, so I could speaic for these entities. They're all reaching out to pull everything together. This is the age of the big roll out where you see all these companies and institutions acquiring more and more for themselves because they have to, to operate at the most efficient level and to have a voice. Chairman Prcela asked, what was the zoning of East Commons when they purchased it? Mr. Marrelli replied, Ofi'ice/Lab.. Mr. Ritley said, in the Unites States there's a riny bit of the operating income each year before taxes that corporations have that they devote to reseazch. In that budget has to be the physical laboratories that are created. It's a very very small amount of money. There's been a lot of offshore and the world's getting populated with better and bet#er educated work force in the area of research. If you look at the medical service industry. medical pazts in Chicago, this phenomenon is a mess and sweeping by us quietly, a light breeze going through the trees, if you don't notice it or not thinking about it too mucli but over time it has a treznendous impact on the delivery, quality, cost and availability for the population. This goes back to what I said earlier from the land use standpoint of locational economics as it relates to the community and the entrepreneur, this is an ideal marriage of interest. You get a benefit, a social dividend with the implementation of this kind of land use.
