Council Member Avilés follows up on construction impacts and inquires about the enforceability of commitments if the property is sold. The applicant's team provides clarifications on these issues.

  • Avilés expresses concern about construction impacts on neighboring children and facilities
  • The applicant's attorney confirms that commitments would remain binding if the property is sold
  • Agreements would be recorded prior to the council's vote to ensure enforceability upon change of control

Thank you.
1:01:00
Thank you so much.
1:01:02
I I appreciate you pointing out, oh, you disappeared.
1:01:06
Yeah.
1:01:06
I appreciate you pointing out.
1:01:08
Perfect.
1:01:10
The question around the neighbors and the construction impacts were certainly not what not in terms of the illustrative potential future uses, but just construction impacts and how would affect children on the site.
1:01:23
And I would agree with you.
1:01:24
I would not put a school there, but it is there, and they are neighbors.
1:01:28
And they must be considered in that.
1:01:32
Certainly, if it was my two year old, I'd be very concerned.
1:01:35
Right?
1:01:35
So it it really is a matter of just the converse the present conversations of your current neighbors, with your current neighbors.
1:01:45
I guess the last thing I guess I'd like to know in terms of I mean, is it is it true for the record that if this property were sold, none of these commitments would mean anything is
Richard Lobel
1:02:00
That is not true.
Alexa Avilés
1:02:02
That is not true.
1:02:03
So if we fill the property tomorrow
Richard Lobel
1:02:05
Correct.
1:02:05
Well
Alexa Avilés
1:02:06
The new owner would would be binded to what?
Richard Lobel
1:02:09
Correct.
1:02:10
So there's provisions and agreements which would be recorded prior to the time of the council's vote, which would dictate that on upon a change in control, they would be bound by the terms of the current agreements.
1:02:20
So upon a change in control, these these regulations would remain in effect.
Alexa Avilés
1:02:25
Okay.
