.. ~. *, , ~ ~ ` ' Minutes of Public Rearing 11/15/88 -7- In terms of timing on the fences, we've committed to our neighbors that with the first building that we build on the property, even though it is a 24 acre parcel and the building that we develop is not`- the .first building is not likely to be immediately adjacent to any of the residences - we have committed to them that we will build the fence along with the first building that we build so that upon receiving approval from the city and a permit from the city to build the building we will start at the same time to first of all clean the huffer area of unwanted trees and debris and put the fence in along the entire boundary between ourselves and the residences. Upon the second building that we build, we will come back in and put in the evergreen trees and on the third building we will come in and put in the ornamental trees. So that after - no later than the third building being constructed, the landscape buffer would be in place and complete. One caveat to that is so that if, for instance, we built one very large building and never had to finish it, there is also a square footage requirment that says, and it is basically in 64,000 square foot incxements, 64,000,, 12$,400 aid 192,000, and an example is if the first building we build .there is 192,000 square feet, we have to build the entire landscape buffer fence anal landsca.~ing._ A,nd a.t 12$,000, we have to build both the fence and .the evergreens. We haue ~r4rked vexy hard collectively and the Planning Commission and our neighbors have worked very hard on the zoning classification - the Office Building Only classification r and Fte want to state that we accept that and we understand the requirements of that classification. We want to, in .the design. of the project, we want i.t to be under- stood that first of all .the natural course of development will push .the taller buildings towards the front of the site. It is fairly intuitive that the property along Brookpark Road is going to be more valuable and that is where the larger buildings will appear. The project w311 probably consist of 1, 2, 3 and 4 story buildings and we will try, in our planning, to keep ,the taller buildings away from the residential areas to the extent .that we can. The lighting which has been suggested or brought up and talked about - we will use lighting fixtures for the illumination next to your parking lots .that direct the light down. and. away from the residential areas. That, in combination with the SO foot buffer and the fencing, should keep any stray light from the residential areas. We will include, as is part of the zoning classification, landscaping in ,the parking a.rea.s, I can't remember - off the top, of my head I think .the zoning classification requires 107 of the parking areas to be landscaped and again, .where we have opportunities to save existing trees, we-will do that., As paxt of our e.ommitment, we cgmmit to them that there will be no'traffic, e3~ther.con tructian.or off ice, on .the residential streets to the north of us. We don't .foresee or for that matter see it as desirable to put, for ourselves ox them, to put a.ny traffic. on those residential streets. We also comioit that the project is going to be a well-planned development similar in pxocess to the Corporate Center. Lt will be a planned development that~we feel will be an asset to the community and souzething that we can all be proud of. It will be siaailar to the Corporate Centex but it will be more sympathetic to its residential neighbors in terms of color, material and textures. And finally, we are commi.tted.to maintaining our lines of communications with our neighbors and as we plan the development and plan. the indi~tidual office buildings we will review the plans with the homeowners' association to get their .input and to steer it in anyway that we can to meet th.e concerns and desires of our neighbors. Thank you. Saringer: Thank you, Mr. Carlisle. We only have a few minutes so ~- okay. Skoulis: The builders' representative covered all the points ~tery thoroughly and as long as they will stick to that we want to go on record as saying that we have no objection to the change in the zoning. That's it. Saringer: Thank you and as I said before, I think you have worked - the business community has worked very diligently with the residents and I commend them for that. max,,-:,..~. , .,, ~.,„3,a.~, ~.k:~..~,... _:.
