Commissioner Lindsey asked if membership would reduce in the spring and summer months. Mr. Wasserteil explained that the colder weather generates more participation than in the spring and summer. He further said they would not go over 1600 membership and after that they take a waiting list. He said if his expansion is approved, they wouldn't build it immediately but would gravel the area and use it as a parking area in the interim. Chairperson Getty asked Mr. Harris to read again the letter received from the Hopyard Associates. Mr. Harris complied. Commissioner Jamieson said the letter wasn't too clear in that the Hopyard Association people are urging approval of this application but do not want their future development of the other two parcels to be impeded by the development of this parcel they are selling to Schoebers. John Ferreri, 865 Abbie Street, partner in Hopyard Association, spoke. He stated there are two parcels left on the north side of Buttercup and Schoebers and his company is only requesting that this parcel be able to stand on its own merits and they do not want any future problems with development of the other parcels. He said it is conceivable an office building would be developed on one of the two remaining parcels but they are not sure and do not want to be restricted totally to this use because of Schoebers parking situation. Commissioner Wilson said that when office buildings are built there is 33~ coverage on a single story and Schoebers is getting 50~. Mr. Ferreri presented a map he got from CPS reflecting a preliminary proposed Prudential street pattern for the Hopyard interchange. He said CPS hopes that the interchange of Hopyard Court and Johnson Drive would be a main entrance to their site. He said the Shell station would probably have to be relocated to accomplish this eliminating the cul-de-sac. He said it would take the entrance east 200' creating a triangular piece of land. Commissioner Wilson asked who would have title to the triangular property; Mr. Ferreri said it is his understanding improvements would be in an assessment district. Mr. Warnick said that piece of property is not within the assessment district as it covered only the east side of Hopyard. Commissioner Wilson asked again who would have title to that triangular piece of property. Mr. Ferreri said that Mr. Callahan was going to meet with W. R. Grace with this regard. He said the suggestion came about as a result of a traffic report by TJKM. Commissioner Wilson stated that if W. R. Grace gets title to this they won't want to make a parking lot for the existing raquetball club. Commissioner Wilson asked what would happen to Old Hopyard Road if the triangular piece of property was created. Mr. Ferreri said it would become a parking lot. He said he understands that there will have to be property exchanged and new legal descriptions drawn up and it would have to be put in the assessment district. -7- _..__ ..__...____._._. ~ _....._ _ .._._.._._ _ ... _.. ____-_. __ . , w._...._ _~,....~ ...... _......r.-_ __,...._... _......__. .,~. __. _ ._ _ _____...._. ,..r _.
