<br />Mr. Jacobs stated it is full from 6 pm to 1 am. <br /> <br />Dan Wald, owner of Market in The Loop at 6655 Delmar, and owner of the building at the <br />southeast corner of Delmar and Westgate, addressed the Plan Commission. <br />Mr. Wald stated he had previously explained his objections at the previous Plan Commission <br />meeting. He stated that at no time had an owner of property along the parking lot been contacted <br />by City Staff or the consultants. He understood that the Plan is not a request to do anything right <br />away. Mr. Wald stated that he should have been called or contacted. He added that he is the <br />Vice President of the Parkview Gardens association but did not attend any of the meetings; Mr. <br />Geiger and Mr. Lutske attended the meetings. He stated that in the past 10 years there had been <br />other plans for the parking lot and he could only assume that the City was using this plan to <br />sneak this proposed use in. He stated that what is going on now is negative with business owners <br />and property owners fighting over the use of this land. He stated that removing this part of the <br />Plan would not stop the Plan and he would like to take it out of the Plan and the LSBD would <br />also like it removed from the Plan. <br /> <br />to completely remove <br />any reference to condos and a parking structure on the parking lot north of Delmar. <br /> <br />Mr. Wald stated that he built Market in The Loop in the 1980s and was told that parking would <br />be free surface parking. He stated that if it was developed it would kill The Loop. He added that <br />there are other places to develop and suggested it be taken out. <br /> <br />Ms. Lewis asked Mr. Wald if in the past 9 months he received any notification about the Plan. <br /> <br />Mr. Wald stated that the City stated they sent notification and the notification stated there was a <br />plan for Parkview Gardens. He stated he arranged with Mr. Geiger and Mr. Lutsky that they <br />attended those meetings. He stated he knew there was a plan but never received a notice about a <br />proposed change in the zoning and use of the property. He added that when there was a <br />proposed new restaurant, he received notice about it and here is a situation where there is a <br />proposed change in the zoning and use of the property and he should have received notice. <br /> <br />Ms. Lewis asked, for clarification, if the method of communication was different from the <br />restaurant example and in this case he had received a general introduction about the Plan. <br /> <br />Mr. Wald stated that was correct, a general notice that there was a proposed Plan for Parkview <br />Gardens. <br /> <br />Ms. Lewis asked if that was the consensus of The Loop regarding communication about the Plan. <br /> <br />Mr. Wald stated that no property owner or business owner was notified about the proposed <br />change of the parking lot. <br /> <br />Mr. Halpert apologized that they did not receive notice. <br /> <br />tm;  šE <br /> <br /> <br />
