<br />III Old Business
<br />(a) Normandy Apartments
<br />rir. DeBenedetto, developer, qnd resid.ents from the area
<br />were present.
<br />Mr. Fabek reported development has not been approved by
<br />F.A.A. as get and recommended it being held in corrmsittee.
<br />N?.ro Christman commented that he knows this hi-rise has caused
<br />controversy among the residents in the area9 but pointed out that
<br />copsideration has to be taken as far as hi-rise benefit to the City
<br />in'tax dollars and the fa.ct that the number of school ch3.ldren is less
<br />per unit, therefore, the City is on the receiving end. He then stated
<br />that this particular area was defeated at tY?e po12s for hi-rise use,
<br />but the developer has now obtained enough land to meet requirements of
<br />m3..Ted-use land. He then said that since I-80 will eventually isolate
<br />this area and that with the proposed number of suites, density would
<br />be much:hifr?her on acreage remaining, he would suggest turning down
<br />proposal and that this particular area be studied by Council and
<br />Regional Planning Corrmiission, then, if this is deemed still to go
<br />fop hi-rise, ir_stead of changing it by Councilmatic action, it be
<br />supmitted to voters on the ballotm
<br />Mr. Kempf, attorney, representing a rnimber of residents in the
<br />area, said since the feelings of the residents waa made know when they
<br />voted against hi-rise use, thia should be taken into con.sideration, and
<br />since I-80 will reduce useable area of developer to six acre9, it makes
<br />it'short of required ten acres in mixed use development. He then said
<br />he::realizes the acreage is there today, but the City should take into
<br />`coTisideration the fact that it will not be there in the future.
<br />Mr. Frank Lord read Sec. 1205.10, paragraph two of the Zoning
<br />Or?inance which states height of buildings shall be subject to approval
<br />Df F,A.A., the certificate of approval must be presented at time of
<br />original development application. 'rhis has not been done in this case,
<br />therefore, corrmmittee cannot approve this particular development,
<br />Mr. Prokasy made motion to reject proposal f°ox° the reason of
<br />lack of F,A.Ao Gertificate9 seconded by Mx°m LaPonza. Ayes; Prokasy,
<br />Scheeff, LaPonza, Spalding, Esgaro No; F'abek.
