Majid Rastegar, 3714 West 97 Street, former owner of both parcels, had questions of the Committee.
Were the parcels commercial or not? Is the site 3 acres or 2 acres? Mr. Rastegar expressed some
confusion and frustration at what he felt he was limited to do in developing the site at the time he went
through the development and rezone process.
Legal Counsel John Molitor: After a 3 -acre or more Development Plan is approved, an owner can sell
off parcels for individual development; that is the Ordinance now, and that was the Ordinance at the
time this property was rezoned.
Mr. Niemeier stated that what the petitioner is requesting is 100% authorized under the Ordinance and
he is ready and willing to comply with the requirements.
Sue Westermeier Seconded Woody Rider's motion for approval, subject to drainage plan approval; the
motion was approved 3 -0.
