F. Legal Counsel Report:
John Molitor said item li. under Old Business, Wingate Inn, Docket No. 109 -99
DP /ADLS, remains tabled and is still involved with pending litigation with the owner of
the property. There should probably be an Executive Session scheduled to up -date the
members of the City Council on this litigation. Hopefully, an Executive Session can be
scheduled prior to next month's meeting. Mr. Molitor's recommendation is that this item
be left on the table until such time as an Executive Session can be held and there is some
indication as to whether or when the litigation may be resolved.

type of situation could be a detriment. Had the property been subdivided originally, it
would not have been possible to establish the buildings on the parcel as they are now.
Since it was one lot at the time of approval, the buildings were permitted to be placed
closer together. There seems to be no history of this in the community. All landscaping
and maintenance will be undertaken by a common organization. The nature of the
development and its quality would not be negatively impacted, and it would give
flexibility to the petitioner to sell the individual parcels. They have obtained a
Developmental Standards Variance from the Board of Zoning Appeals.
Norma Meighen moved for the approval of Docket 165 -00 PP, Meadowlark Office
Park Subdivision, seconded by Pat Rice. APPROVED with a vote of 14 in favor, 0
opposed, conditioned upon landscaping being maintained by a common group.

Committee Report: Ron Houck said issues such as lighting and automobile alarms were
addressed at the Committee level. The Committee's recommendation is for approval of
the petition.
Department Report: Mr. Lillig said that following subdivision committee, there was
some question as to whether the sideyard requirements on the Indiana Basketball
Academy block were adequate to meet the requirements of the B -3 classification that
requires a minimum sideyard of 20 feet for lots adjoining a residential district. The west
side yard setback will now be 10 feet. It has been determined that the sideyard is a
minimum of 30 feet, with a 30 foot aggregate sideyard. This means you could have a
minimum of 30 feet on one side, and zero on the other side.

Hayes Two Level Luxury Townhouses, Block A, seconded by Ron Houck. The written
