•
Mr. Deremo, Attorney, 18518 Farmington Road, was present representing Mr. Einhorn
and Mr. Amsell, the owners of property in question. He apprised the Commission of
1E: the fact that his clients had purchased property two years ago when it was zoned
commercial. They bought it with idea in mind to put in a nursing home or a
convalescent home. Before they could go ahead with their plans, however, the
convalescent home was excluded from the PS classification. They have put in
improvements such as sidewalks . The residents bought their homes while it was
zoned C-i. It was their business to find out what it was zoned at the time they
bought their homes. His clients are being deprived of developing this property
for the use they bought it for.
Mr. Andrew stated that C-1 zoning was not as pleasing as a P.S. as a buffer to
residential. He also felt that a convalescent home there on a waiver use would be
acceptable as far as he was concerned.
Mr. Hand clarified the fact that the Planning Commission sought the rezoning on
their own motion, the residents did not have anything to with it.
Mrs. Zaft, 28260 Vargo, is in favor of the rezoning to P.S.
Mr. Dolinka, 20286 Brentwood, is in favor of the rezoning to P.S.
Mr. Deremo stated that the residents seem to feel that they have some pre-emptive
feelings about vacant land that surrounds them. There are areas in C-1 that are
preferable to P.S. zoning.
