I Session 1317, Minutes Page 4 October 25; 1982 { 1.: each tenant of the building. Mr. Ollendorff said the conditions could be as speci- fic as the Plan Commission and Council decided to make them. 9 Mr. Rubin Schlafman, 747 Yale, asked what was meant by the term "institutional of- fices" in the resume of proposed changes. Mr. Ollendorff said a description of that term would be taken from a legal dictionary, but he thought it would be any type of private or public institution which was eligible to apply. Mr. Schlafman asked if the proposed changes were being considered because several public build- ings were for sale, and Mr. Ollendorff said that was correct. He confirmed Mr. Schlafman's statement that the buildings would go on the tax rolls if they were ap- proved for office use, while if the buildings were put to non-profit institutional use, they would most likely be granted tax-exempt status. Ms Barbara Fraser, 581 Stratford, trustee of University Hills subdivision, asked what would happen to Hanley Jr. High School (now vacant) if the proposed amendment was not approved. Mr. Ollendorff said the property would have to be rezoned. If the amendment passed and the proposed use was for offices, the developer would ap- ply for a conditional use permit which must be approved, following a public hear- ing, by both the Plan Commission and the City Council, with the desired conditions attached. Essentially, the amendment would permit greater control over building use in the "PA" district than if the property were rezoned. Ms Fraser then asked whether subdivision indentures took precedence over rulings of the Plan Commission and City Council. Mr. 011endorff said an attorney who was familiar with the Uni- versity Hills subdivision indentures should be consulted, who would have to rule whether the indentures would be legally binding on a future property owner--the City would not rule on this. The developer may or may not have to abide by the subdivision indentures, which would remain as strong or as weak as they are now. Mr. Schoomer said an additional level of protection was afforded subdivisions if this change was adopted, i.e., if a property should be resold at a later time, it would again have to go through a public hearing before the Plan Commission, and al- so come before the Council for approval as a conditional use. If the property were merely rezoned under present zoning law, a great many activities would be permitted which would not come before the Council for approval. Mayor Mooney closed the public hearing at 8:20 p.m. CONSIDERATION OF BIDS ON PLANT MATERIALS The City Manager said the City solicited bids for plant materials for the Forestry Department, with the results listed: Treeland $13,733.00 Carl Giebel Landscaping and Nursery 12,580.60 Frisella Nursery 10,674.00 Forest Keeling Nursery 10,267.00 A. Waldbart 8,665.00 Mr. Ollendorff recommended awarding the bid to Waldbart, adding 46 additional trees for a total amount of $10,045. The bid price was below estimates, which allows the purchase of more trees. Mrs. Metcalfe said she appreciated the list of trees and planting locations which
