Minutes of Public Hearing 11/15/88 -S- Resider_ce C District to Office Building District and further from certain premises hereinafter described from Multiple Residence District to Office Building District. Mr. Tallon have you had this in your committee, sir? Tallon: Yes. Saringer: Is there anything you would like to point out to council in regards to this pending legislation? Tallon: No. Just to let everybody know that this is the property on the north side of-Brookpark, between Columbia and Great Northern Boulevard and it is being rezoned to the new Off ice Building District and from the existing multi-family and single family Class C Residence. " Saringer: Is there anyone in tHe audience that would like to address Council on this legislation? Angelo Skoulis, 24732 Mitchell Drive. I am President of Parkwest Homeowners` Association and one of the members of the Board of Trustees. I live at 24732 Mitchell Drive. As council members are aware, we have had a number of ineetings with the developers representatives, at their request. They had asked us back in April to start havirLg meetings with trem to see.if we couldn't work something out that would be satisfactory to both sides and over the past several months we have been able to work out an agreement; the builder stuck to his word; allowed us to have quite a bit of input; made a number of concessions and we did come up with an agreement that's agreeable to both sides. So,.with council's permission, I would like to have the builder's representative read off that list of con- cessions that they are willing to make for our development so that it becomes part of the official record; so that at some future date, there won`t be any arguements as to who said what and what was promised to whom. We have been here at=a.number of council.meetings and have seen people arguing over and over and over again what the developer had promised them and what was said and so forth and so on. So, if council is willing, and the developer's representative is ready, I would like to.ask him to get up and read off the list of concessions that they are willing to make on this project. Is it all right with Council? Saringer: Mr. Carlisle, is this agreeable to you? Are you prepared to handle it in this order? Do you want to read them off or do you have something you could submit to us for the Clerk to put in the record. Carlisle: Right now I am prepared to read them off; I don't have anything (to submit). Saringer: Fine. Richard Carlisle: My name is Richard Carlisle; I represent Biskind Development. Here also tonight is Amy Watts and Mitchell Mize, both also with Biskind Develop- ment. As Mr. Skoulis had indicated, we've been through a long process, going all the way back to March or April and we did bring our whole dog and pony show, with all the boards and graphs and everything, so if there are any particular questions that.are in the council's mind we can address those. I think a great many of you have already heard a lot of that so I don't intend to go through that. I would like to hit the high points which essentially focus around what we have come to an agreement with with our neighbors, principally the Parkwest Homeowners' Association. The landscape buffer is one of the largest issues that we came upon and as you are probably all aware, we actually built a landscape buffer on our property, behind the residences that.as an example we worked through that with them and created a buffer and the parameters of that buffer are that it is to be a minimum of 50 feet between our buffer area, from all residential
