John Keyes, 14029 82nd Court, Roseland, informed the Board that he owns the first 500' of Lot 2, which is the adjacent strip on the west side of the subject property, and he is also speaking for two other gentlemen who own adjoining property - Mr. McAllister, who already has a residence on his property, and the gentlemen who bought Mrs. Speck's property, the rest of Lot 2 bordering on the river, and intends to build a substantial residence there. Mr. Keyes informed the Board that -he intends to build on one acre of his property and sell the other acre to someone who would agree to build a substantial residence also. He emphasized that they all object to having their front yards facing commercial structures. Attorney Richard Bogosian came before the Board representing the applicant, Donald Williamson. He appreciated Mr. Keyes objection, but did not think it is proper for him to talk for people who are not present. Attorney Bogosian stated that his client feels the proposed rezoning is a proper zoning because this property is included in the MED node recommended by the Planning Department. In addition, they feel it would be extremely difficult to develop into residential because of the sewer plant located in the northwest corner. Apparently Mr. Keyes hasn't built yet, and Attorney Bogosian noted that possibly - his property could be included in the MED. He believed the subject property should be rezoned considering the unique circumstances. Discussion ensued regarding the location and size of Mr. Keyes property and access to same, and Mr. Keyes explained that his property is the first 500' starting from Bay Street going back to the river. He stressed that homes are already built in this area; it is established as residential property; and the man who just bought the property on the river intends to build a home there.
