Ms. Diamond added her concern about sanitation in reference to the trash compactor and if there is an alternative location, they should explore every alternative. She asked if there could be a privacy fence or sound barrier added between the trash collection area and the Delcrest Condominiums. Mike Arnheim, resident in Building 1 on Delcrest Court, asked the following questions: How many employees will be on the property? Where will employee parking be located? Will there be security provided for the development? Mr. Braswell addressed the questions. He stated that there will be a property manager, two leasing agents, a senior maintenance worker, and assistant maintenance worker, and a part-time leasing agent, so there will be five to six employees at the complex at any given time. The personal fitness center will be unmanned. There will not be a security force on-site. Access will be limited by key cards. Surveillance cameras will be located on the property. Kristy Krekovich, an owner in Building 1 Delcrest Court, asked about rental rates and occupancy. She asked if occupancy is not as high as they like, will they lower rental rates resulting in different demographics moving in than currently proposed. She expressed her concern about the location of the trash collection area. She also asked about the distance between the buildings in Delcrest Condominiums and the proposed building. Mr. Dabler, project engineer stated there is 25 feet between the proposed building and the property line and about 50 feet between the Delcrest Condominium buildings and the property line, so about 75 feet between buildings. Ms. Krekovich also asked about how the condominium owners are supposed to protect themselves from damage after construction begins, preferably what can be done from the beginning. Mr. Halpert stated when this application goes before City Council; they all have the opportunity to go the City Council meeting to express their concerns. Regarding legal action for any Mr. Braswell addressed questions about occupancy. In Mansions on the Plaza, there are 92 units and they have the highest rents in the area. Occupancy is over 96%. There are 4 vacant units at any given time. The proposed rents for the new development are not as high as Mansions on the Plaza. Ms. Lewis suggested to Ms. Krekovich that they review the bylaws of the Condo Association regarding the building itself and for individual units, work with individual property insurance companies. Mr. Byrne added that if multiple units are damaged, the condo association insurance company would get involved in conjunction with the individual carriers for the units. tm; E
