He fielded questions from the group regarding architectural treatments, market conditions and
other elements of the project.
Ms. Rebecca Bohl, 1680 Sorel Street, was recognized by President Hanzal. She stated that she
was a neighbor of the proposed project. Her concerns were regarding noise and light pollution
onto her property and asked if considerations would be made to mitigate those issues. Mr. David
Harchanko said that they have used berming, fencing, plantings or combinations of all 3 to
alleviate these issues on past projects.
Mr. Steve King, 1724 Sorel Street, was recognized by President Hanzal. Mr. King is a resident
in the downtown area. He had several questions for the board and prospective developer
regarding potential buyouts of adjacent homes and timing of the development. Mr. David
Harchanko said that they had not yet approached any neighbors regarding potential acquisitions
and at this point were not planning on doing so. However, he did not rule that possibility out.
Mr. Chris Harchanko stated that he felt a late fall groundbreaking would be a realistic timeline if
the project were to move forward.
Both the EDA and P&Z Commission generally looked favorably upon the proposed

No formal action was taken since the presentation was only a concept plan and no formal
application has been made to the city.
