ICommittee Comments:
Zoccola: With the fence being within 25-ft of the property line,you are cutting out the greenspace from this development.
What is it going to look like to the future residents living here?Jon Dobosiewicz: The placement of the fence within this
development was asked for by the surrounding neighbors. The intent of the fence being placed there is to provide a
transition and buffer to the adjacent properties.We spent a large amount of time what would be planted on both sides of

the fence. We will provide additional plantings internally.
Westermeier: I wish this was being sent to the City Council. I don't think it meets the criteria for affordable housing and
downsizing.I'm worried about all the apartments that are currently being built on the other side of Michigan Road.
Buckler: I will state that all of my concerns were met by the Petitioners. Cam pagna: I have sat in the Petitioner's seat,
and we have put this group through the ringer with our amount of requests,and they have met all of our requests.
