Contact the Planning Department (221-6750) if you wish to receive minutes of this meeting. Did You Receive Written Notification of this meeting? orrect ddress. Name Address Zip Yes No IYes No --Fzelerell �- i I I 28. Will we be invited to the Planning and Zoning meeting? A. Yes, if you received a notice for this meeting, you will also receive a letter notifying you of the date, time and location of the Planning and Zoning Board Hearing for this project. I would recommend that you call the Planning Department at 221-6750 on the day of the meeting to make sure it is still on the agenda. 29. Should we all write one letter to tell our opinions or should we write separate letters? A. Either way would be fine. 16. At first only single family dwellings were allowed, then the commercial businesses. We never wanted it (home occupation). Now they just want to make it bigger and bigger. 17. How do the cars get in? Do they drive clear around the block? Or park on the street? A. We are proposing six parking spaces off of Harvard Street and nine parking spaces in back which will be accessed from the State Farm curb cut on Drake Road. 18. What is the black line? A. That is the property line. 19. I've only been in my house for 3 years. It's a beautiful house and a beautiful neighborhood. I thought it was zoned for residential housing. Now it's going commercial. 20. Why expand into a residential area? A. I want to keep my business at this address but I do not want to live here anymore. 21. In the letter we received, it said you were converting a single family home into a commercial business. A. Dr. Eskin is proposing a Planned Unit Development (P.U.D) which would change the permitted use from a single-family residence with a home occupation to a commercial/medical office building. 22. If this is allowed, then the next house will do the same and then the next. This will create more traffic. 23. What if he has 3 offices, where will all the people park? A. In the planned 15 off-street parking spaces. 24. I live there, I know where people park. They park on the street. A. It's logical to park in the parking spaces. 25. They will still park on Harvard instead of going clear around the block to park in the rear parking lot. 26. The guideline for this use is 3.3 parking spaces/1000 square feet (Linda Ripley). Dr. Eskin has 15 spaces- that's 5/1000 square feet. We can't say that all the people will park here. The prime parking is in front of the houses, but the off-street parking is provided. 27. Think about Dr. Eskin. He still owns his house. He doesn't have to go through this process to rent. this business would increase parking on the street- look at Remington. This would be the second property converted to a commercial business. If this happens it would decrease the value of my property. I oppose this change. 6. I agree. I always have many cars parked near my house now. There would be even more parking with an additional office there. 7. There are school children around there. We don't need the extra cars and traffic. A. On -site parking will be provided. 8. The people (patients/clients) don't care, they will park anywhere. A. I understand how you feel, but people will park irresponsibly. All I (Dr. Eskin) can do is provide adequate parking on my property. 9. Other parking is done on the street by customers from other in -home businesses (beauty parlor/daycare). You can't say their customers won't park in front of these residences. 10. There is already a commercial business in this neighborhood now (State Farm). A. State Farm is in a commercial zoning district not residential. 11. Look what's going on in the other home occupations in the neighborhood, their clients are parking 'on the street also. A. It has got to stop. It's like a cancer- it spreads and spreads. 12. If Dr. Eskin is not allowed to change this residence to a commercial use what will happen? A. Dr. Eskin will move from the residence and rent it out. 12. The house next to me is a rental and they don't take care of it. 13. What can the City do to stop this from becoming a residential rental unit? A. The City can't do anything to stop it from becoming a residential rental. 14. We have to think the worst will happen- the neighbors are left with the droppings. A. Dr. Eskin is wanting to submit a P.U.D./planned unit development which would allow him to keep his medical office at this address. 15. When I bought my house, there were only single family homes in the neighborhood. Then we got 7 four-plexes. They're trashing the neighborhood. NEIGHBORHOOD MEETING MINUTES PROJECT: Eskin P.U.D. DATE: October 5, 1995 APPLICANT: Dr. Avram Eskin CONSULTANT: Linda Ripley, Ripley Associates STAFF: Mike Ludwig The proposed project includes the change of an existing single-family residence with home occupation (chiropractic office) to 100% commercial/medical office space. Dr. Eskin's proposed business would allow 15 on site parking places with a possible 2 offices in the building. Dr. Eskin would continue his medical practice at this site but not live at that address any longer. QUESTIONS, CONCERNS, COMMENTS How many offices will there be? A. There will be 2 offices in the building. 2. How many parking spaces will there be? And the size of the house? Will you rent? A. There will be a total of 15 off-street parking spaces. The house is approximately 3,000 square feet total: Dr Eskin would continue his practice on the first floor and rent the upper floor as office space. 3. Will there be only 2 offices? A. Yes, one will be upstairs and one will be downstairs. 4. What are your present living quarters? A. Dr. Eskin's residence is currently upstairs and his medical office is on the ground floor. 5. I will not support this project. I have talked with Dr. Eskin before and he knows how I feel. What will someone else do to this place if it is sold? I live across the street and I do not want to look at a parking lot everyday. The customers will park in front of my house because they. can't park on Drake- and I only have 50 feet of space for me in front of my house. I believe
