.,' � <br />available parking on this lot. Apparently, HealthEast <br />Corporation is looking at leasing the garages on the site to � <br />house a number of their trucks and equipment vehicles, and they <br />are also interested in leasing some office space. This site is <br />within Redevelopment District #1 and is part of the Tax Increment <br />Financing District, and the approval of this site involved <br />variances to the rear yard setback and allowed the a�plicant to <br />greatly intensify the development of the back of the property in <br />exchange for the preservation of existing trees and green space <br />along the front af the building. We explained to Mr. Driessen. <br />that there was substantial justification throughout all of the <br />planning documents and the approved site plan to retain the green <br />space along the northern side oF Trunk Highway 36 along this <br />stretch. We told him that the City would be willing to look at <br />restriping the parking lot and to making some minor modifications <br />to the parking lot and to evaluate the impact of the expansion of <br />the parking into a portion of the front, but we made it v�ry <br />clear that these trees and this green space was a very important <br />part of the overall approval process and that it was very <br />unlikely that the City would be willing to allow them to expand <br />parking to the detriment of these �rees and green space. <br />4.
