Minutes of the Special Meetiiig of Council Monday, June 4, 2018 Page 8 inarket because the home they would sell in Mayfield Village is less than what they would purchase in this development. Responses to the Mayfield Village survey support maintaining the design and scale of existing homes opposite of what this proposed developinent would provide. The plan is not unanimously endorsed by Planning and Zoning. One of the members agrees that this should not go forward so they disagree with Plarining and Zoning. While the desire to have new housing available in Mayfield Village is appealing, the reality is that most residential developed land is already developed out. Being that Mayfield Village is a desirable community, developers begin to find creative ways to redevelop property. This is not always a bad thing, however, we need to keep in mind the inain objective of a developer is profit-based. Mayfield Village is in a strong financial position and does not need to settle for something that is shiny and new but instead look to advance the character of Mayfield Village and advance land use practices. Sincerely, residents of Mayfield Village. We have 45-50 signatures on this already and we plan to submit that as well. Bob Roffman 6728 Bramblewood Lane Aintree North I want to go through all the nets. Police, Fire, first responders do not have an issue. I challenge the people across the street, people in this room, why they wouldn't want it. I liave a list of 50 people that would be willing to spend $350,000-500,000 to stay in the city and as seniors they have the tax wherewithal to pay for schools and to keep the money locally. We are so tired: I spent 20 years in Mayfield Village and grew up in Highland Heights: We are so tired of looking at Stonewater to downsizing. Willoughby, Willoughby Hills. We want to stay right here. Stormwater, we pay the taxes, I think we all have the crystal ball. It's going to get resolved. There's no reason this should not ]Zappen. Thanks. Mary Acklpy 7109 VJilson Mills I ani a resident since 1980. I am now a senior since I have been here since 1980. I was much younger.at the time. I just want to tell you that when Hanover Woods was opened in 1986, there were maiiy many skeptics about a development going in at Hanover Woods. I was fortunate enough to market Hanover Woods. I sold every Tot in there. They went very quickly. Tlie people in there love living in Mayfield Village and they all contribute to the tax coffers which of course the people on Highland Road would also do. Many of those people wliom I have spoken to about this development are now seniors just as I am and are very e\cited about this i7ew development plus the fact that I don't think only seniors have to live there. 1 have niany people who come fi•om out of town,
