. � MEMORANDUM RE: Nlargolis Request � 20 January 1984 Page 4 constructed in good faith in accordance with the plan in a timely fashion. The se�:ond is that Mr. Margolis's staff operates the facility in accordance with the proposed terms and with a conscious effor� toward keeping the appearance and the function of the site compatible with the residential areas to the north and east and with the visual effect relating to the extensive traffic on LarPenteur Avenue. We have had considerable discu5sion with Mr. Margolis regarding the ].onger range use of the proper�y. We have suggested �hat it is very� important to not think in terms of expanding the use of the site as a landscape cantractors yard. In particular, there should b� na extensive investment of further structures tending to make the property more di�ficult to convert to otl�er uses. Mr. Margolis agrees that th� ultimate use of the property should b� for xesidential purposes, and that its location r�levant to the pazk and th� residential area makes this use a practical one. We have encouraged him to se�k potential residenti�al developers who �nay wish to acquire the site and convert it to residential use. Such residences would take the form of some type of multi-family use k�ecause of the pocar soil conditions that exist on �the site. Such a use could be concen�rated to the sauth and west using a Plaz�neci Unit Development ap�roa�h, making it readily compatible to th� rear yards of the contiguaus resiclential pro�erties. This is ano�h�r reason for making it reasanabl� to i,nves� in good plant m�.teriaJ now as an ulrimate Screen betw�en the single family residences and the rest a� the property. This type o€ developmer,t program, we �ugges�, is a reason�ble and practical objective to pursue in the joint inter�sts of khe neighbors, Mr. Mazgolis, and the City as a whAle.
