Andrea Thurn, lot owner in Sandpointe West, having been duly <br />sworn, recounted the history of Sandpointe West and questioned the <br />propriety of imposing this type of structure into a residential <br />neighborhood to change the character of the neighborhood. Ms. <br />Thurn pointed out that the school has other land on which to build, <br />and that it would be a violation of the County Code to grant a <br />permit which will impact the orderly development of surrounding <br />projects. She stated that realtors are not willing to sell <br />property in Sandpointe West until this project is completed. Ms. <br />Thurn felt that if the applicants were comfortable about their <br />request, they would be forthcoming with the details. <br />Vincent Boyle, lot owner in Sandpointe West, having been duly <br />sworn, opposed the project because of incompatibility. It will <br />impact his property and will hurt him financially; buffers do not <br />change the impact. <br />Attorney Stewart encouraged the Board to make a decision. He <br />argued that due process has been served because the property owners <br />were given the plan before this meeting. He did not expect the <br />property owners to change their minds because they simply do not <br />want the project. <br />Attorney Barkett argued that there is substantial difference <br />in the plan and urged the Board to submit the plan to the P&Z for <br />review. <br />The Chairman determined that no one else wished to be heard <br />and thereupon closed the public hearing. <br />Commissioner Macht did not see any harm to either party if the <br />Board deferred this item for a period of time, because Mr. Barkett <br />has not had time to confer with his clients and they have not had <br />time to study the new proposal. He accepted Director Keating's <br />professional judgment that it is not a substantial departure but is <br />merely a variation. Commissioner Macht would like the opportunity <br />to study the plans if he were a property owner at Sandpointe West. <br />Attorney Vitunac advised that the Board could continue the <br />hearing to a time certain. <br />ON MOTION by Commissioner Macht, SECONDED by <br />Commissioner Eggert, the Board unanimously continued <br />this Public Hearing to the meeting of April 26, <br />1994. <br />APR 12 1994 <br />17 BOOK 92� L,� GF 108 <br />I <br />
