APPEAL NO. 234 - VA 70-20 (Continued) <br /> <br />Richard Ball, 666 E. 17th Street, Real Estate Representative <br />for Gulf Oil Corporation, owner of the property, also spoke, <br />relating the past history of the property. He stated that the <br />property had been on the market for commercial development <br />for four years but no one had been interested in developing it <br />into a shopping center. <br /> <br />Robert Hirsch, the applicant for the variance, stated the apartments <br />would be a deluxe, conventional financed project, that 85% of the <br />project would be 1 and 2 bedroom apartments, thereby not attracting <br />many people with children. He explained that the parking and the <br />lights would be 80 feet away from La Vergn Way which is a <br />private street, 30 feet wide; that there would be a block wall and all <br />of the setbacks and conditions would be carried out as required: <br />and that they felt the project would be an asset to the community. <br /> <br />James McConnell, 4421 W. Roosevelt, expresse~i the opinion that <br />some of the people who were opposed to this project might have <br />changed their minds since it is no longer to be a federally subsidized <br />project for the elderly. <br /> <br />The hearing was closed. <br /> <br />After discussion by Council, on motion of Councilman Herrin, seconded by <br />Councilman Evans, the action of the Planning Commission was overruled <br />and the City Attorney was instructed to prepare a resolution denying <br />Variance Application 70-13, on the following roll call vote: <br /> <br />AYES: Herrin, Evans, Markel, <br />NOES: Patterson, Villa <br />ABSENT: None <br /> <br />Yamamoto, Griset <br /> <br />RECESS <br /> <br />present. <br /> <br />At 11:05 P.M., a five minute recess <br />was declared.
