Baker came forward to present his case to the members of the board. He pointed out the property joins the rear of the houses on Tiffin Drive. This now being a 40 acre tract of land. There is also apartment and local-retail zoning in the area. He stated this property was approved November 24, 1969 by the City Council for Planned Development. The dela.Y in beginning construction was due to the money market. He stated they wanted to construct the entire tract, and phase one was under construction at this time. Hr. Baker told the members that 14r. Gordon Swift, Engineer, }œ. Myers, Architect, and himself were told by the previous Director of Public Works they could make some minor ~ . changes if they did not change the density or figuration of the buildings. He pointed out that since the plans had been approved in 1969, they had found the clay tile roofing not to be suitable. Since that time it has been discontinued because of production problems. This being cracking, leaking, and the material too heavy on the building. Mr. Baker stated he thought 75% masonry of brick or stone was satisfactory, regardless if the wood area was at the front or back of the building. He showed pictures of the asbestos type shingles he proposed to use, since he was not allowed to use asphalt shingles. He pointed out this development would be in four phases. Each phase would have a swimming pool, and the 75% masonry overall would conform to the City specification. lIR. JiU·fES CONKLE - AGAINST . lir. Conkle of 5213 Bob Drive came forward. He stated he really was not in opposition, but did want to get some questions straight. He wanted to know how the plans could be changed without the property owners being notified. He was told the building that were shifted was for the purpose of adding the laundry room and the recreation room, and the other buildings were not changed. l1r. Baker pointed out the one story buildings would back up to the one story residents in the area. }~. Conkle asked what determines the front and rear of the buildings. He was told the front is the street side. :MRS. GIBBONS - l{r. Gibbons of 5312 Tiffin Drive came forward. She pointed out the townhouses would back up to her property. She said she was not in opposition as long as the construction was built to Planned Development plans. l{ra. Gibbons stated she did want all brick on the townhouses. Þw. Baker said he would go on record that this would be done. ~œ. Riddle pointed out to the members that all monies owed to the City would have to be collected before any other building permits or decision coµld.be approved on this variance request. .
