<br /> <br />th <br />Roscoe Niblack <br />, 7401 16 Manor, Westlake Estates, has been impacted tremendously with all <br />the work going on around him. He urged the Board to follow staff’s recommendation. Mr. Niblack read <br />th <br />a letter on behalf of his neighbor, Julie Stroh, 7400 16 Manor, who could not attend the hearing. Ms. <br />Stroh wrote that it was unfair to schedule hearings when they were not able to attend. She urged the <br />Board to deny the request, as it was unfair and an invasion of privacy for many. <br /> <br />Mr. Paladin <br /> said that was the reason why he wanted to meet with residents to address their <br />concerns. He defended the quality and value of workforce housing, saying it was not something to be <br />ashamed of nor would it lower the value of property. He again asked the Board to table this to enable him <br />to talk with residents. <br /> <br />Commissioner Bowden and Mr. Paladin engaged in discussion regarding the difference between <br />workforce housing and low-income housing. The Board also discussed income levels and other <br />qualifications for affordable homes. <br /> <br />Commissioner Lowther would rather this item be tabled giving Mr. Paladin time to have <br />discussion with residents. Commissioner Bowden agreed that there needed to be discussion especially <br />with the matter of the lawsuit. <br /> <br />Larry Echelberger <br /> of Westlake Estates commented on the similarity of what happened with the <br />multi-family units in Pointe West and how the residents were not informed of development plans. <br /> <br />David Ofstein <br />, CJM Communities, on behalf of Treviso, showed a model of the proposed <br />architecture and said they were only interested in providing top quality of which the community would be <br />proud. Their request to rezone is in name only with a cap in the deed restrictions of 7 units per acre with <br />30 of the units to be workforce housing. He requested that the Board table this item to the September 12, <br />AUGUST 22, 2006 34 <br /> <br />
