Atto: City Council Members
Dear City Council Members:
Thank you for scheduling a review of my two zoning issue requests.
I would like to take this opportunity m clarify a couple of points aborn the reasons for change
and maybe lay to rest some of your concerns, as well as the neighbors.
First of all, let me preface the zoning request for Community Commercial Block 3, Lots 1-6.
My intent is to domate Block 7 to St. John's for ~ assisted living cottages. I have made that
oDrnrnlt~3.ellt tO Raem fi~om the very. beginning, so no pun:ha.se agreement will be made.
Now the reason for my zoning request in Block 3, Lots 1-6 is so that two apartment
complexes can be designed. The first complex te be constructed on lots 1 & 2 and the second
complex on lots 5 & 6. The complex will have connecting corridors and some interior
common living space, much like St. John-q will be proposing, bm on a larger scale and more
limited services. Lots 3 & 4 may be a joint venture project with St. John's for a cormnunity
center with apartments however no final deal has been struck at this time. It is my
understanding that all commercial development has to be approved by you at a later date
before we would proceed v~th construction.
The issue of Block 2, Lots 1-17 is simpler. Our development needs more lot coverage to
accommodate Iarger floor plans. With the new zoning designation, 2-car garages and
uniformity in building design would be available.
This project is moving forward nicely and with your help, it will be a memendous asset to the
City of Laurel.
Sincerely,
