Session 1760 <br />June 21, 1999 <br /> <br />clearly depicts how massive the buildings will be in comparison with the homes. He is a <br />lifelong resident of U. City and simply feels that this project is too massive for this area and <br />will oppose it. <br /> <br />Michael Hill, 507 N. Central, read a comment from his wife. She believes that the project <br />is not appropriate ~n regards to the City's ordinance. The changes that the developer has <br />made are not substantial, for example the three foot decrease in the building width. They <br />are opposed to the project. <br /> <br />Bruce Rennekamp, 527 N. Central, said that he and his neighbors have made many trips <br />to City Hall to plead the case for responsible development on this tract of property. First, <br />the Plan Commission denied the request for the conditional use, zoning change and <br />resubdivision of this property by a vote of six to one, seven to nothing, six to nothing, <br />clearly stating that they felt medium density development and not this project would be <br />more appropriate for this location. The changes made are not substantial enough and the <br />developer has made facetious comments which depicts an appalling arrogance. He is <br />opposed to this project. <br /> <br />Bert Sterbenz, 7000 Cornell, said that he was here tonight to support a fellow <br />neighborhood association President, Mr. Mike Hill of the Delmar Heights Neighborhood <br />Association. He drove over to take a look at what the neighborhood would be taking on <br />with this project and was appalled at the monstrously sized condo building under <br />construction there. He can not believe that we are discussing zoning changes to allow <br />more of this type of construction to take place. He is opposed to this project. <br /> <br />Kristin Becker, 524 N. Central, said that her property did not abut this project, but she is <br />here on behalf of her neighborhood association and her friends. She is the one that built <br />the model. She showed several photos of the Manlin building as a point of reference, as <br />well to depict the massiveness of the proposed project in relation to the existing residential <br />homes. She explained why the new project was inappropriate for the area and intrusive. <br />She is opposed to the project. <br /> <br />Dante Anselmo, is the Project Manager for Crown Capitol Corporation and Paul Londe <br />Enterprises. Mr. Anselmo said that he would be happy to answer any concerns, but that he <br />would like to address the issue of density. In comparison to other projects that have been <br />approved, their density is in the middle and lower end. <br /> <br />Robert Morton, 7628 Delmar, said that he was a thirty year resident and he has great <br />concern about this project. He feels that we are going to run an investor out of University <br />City. University City does not have a lot of income production. He feels that if the Council <br /> <br />7 <br /> <br /> <br />
