<br />City of Centerville <br />Council Meeting Minutes <br />December 13, 2006 <br />questions. Mr. Glaser stated that he felt that the Developer did not address all of his <br />questions at the Commission meetings. <br /> <br />City Attorney Glaser said that he would like to see if there is a way to make this project <br />work but the first there are issues to be resolved. He then said that there were <br />negotiations on the Developer's Agreement and concessions made by the city. If the <br />original concept is off the table, should the Developer pay back the concessions. <br /> <br />City Attorney Glaser asked the Developer to answer some of the outstanding questions <br />from the memo. <br /> <br />City Attorney Glaser indicated that the first issue is blending of styles and the use of the <br />building as a buffer. He then said that the original sales pitch was the earlier units were <br />lower buildings spread apart and they do sit on the edge of a residential area. He further <br />said that the original buildings are more residential in appearance and the proposed <br />building is a traditional commercial structure. <br /> <br />City Attorney Glaser asked the Developer to address the design to serve as a buffer and to <br />make therlook of the new structure similar to or blend into the existing structures. <br /> <br />Mr. Keleher, Chief Manager for Sedona Townhomes, , addressed the Council and <br />explained that when they came to the City in 2003 and did a study to see what type of <br />structures would be recommended by Maxfield Research, townhomes were <br />recommended. Mr. Keleher requested that Council consider replatting the development <br />for one large building rather than the original plat approved by Council, (three (3) of nine <br />(9) townhomes have been completed to date. <br /> <br />Mr. Keleher indicated that they had been approached by Eagle Brooke Church last year <br />to construct one building to house their administrative offices. Upon further research and <br />site consideration, Sedona T ownhomes is appearing before Planning and Zoning and the <br />Council for approval of the change. <br /> <br />City Attorney Glaser indicated that Council is familiar with the history of the site and <br />asked the Developer to address the question raised. <br /> <br />Mr. Keleher stated that he feels screening has been addressed. Mr. Keleher also stated <br />that he feels the design of the building fits the site. <br /> <br />City Attorney Glaser explained that the majority opinion is that this building does not do <br />what was originally proposed and the Council is looking for changes to make it look like <br />the other buildings on the site. He then said that this building is a bit more contemporary <br />and the colors are different. <br /> <br />Mayor Capra said that she feels that the large building needs to somehow match or be <br />related to the smaller buildings. Ms.Capra stated that Council was excited about the <br />townhome project and felt that is was wise phasing; however, with the current proposal, <br /> <br />Page 6 of 19 <br /> <br />p <br />
