SUBJECT Settlement Negotlatlons wlth Justlce Corporatlon
DATE
November 4, 1985
I.recelved a telephone call from Ed Armstrong, Esqulre In
response to the Clty'slwrltten proposal for resolutlon of the
above-styled matter. ~r. Armstrong requested a meetlng by the
end of the week of November 4th, If posslble. He also notlfled
me that he and the Justlce Corporatlon lnterests had revlewed
our proposed settlement stlpulatlon, and offered the followlng
observatlons for our conslderatlon:
1. In Paragraph 11 of the Clty'S draft, the 90 day notlce
prOVlSlon prlor to rezonlng lS, accordlng to Mr. Armstrong,
lnsufflclent tlme to allow the Plalntlff to sell the property.
2. In Paragraph 13 (g), the requlrement for erectlon of a
grocery store lS obJectlonable.
of'- 3. In Paragraph 13 (b) and (d), the "':::en foot helght llmlta-
tlon should be expllcltly deflned to permlt ten feet of con-
structed bUlldlng space above flood plaln.
4. Mr. Armstrong obJected to the prOVlSlon In Paragraph 15
whlch provldes that the Justlce Corporatlon would get no offset
agalnst lmpact fees for the money It would spend to lmprove the
roadway.
5. The provlslon In Paragraph 26 for development wlthln a
flve year perlod lS, accordlng to Mr. Armstrong, lnsufflclent tlme
for development.
6. The provlslons whereby the Clty lncorporates the Land
Development Code as appllcable to the Plalntlff's propertles lS
ob]ectlonable to the Plalntlff because of the restrlctlons lnvolv-
lng setbacks, parklng, helght, and other development crlterla.
It may be, however, that the Plalntlff lS slmply leery of agree-
lng to a set of regulatlons whlch It does not understand, and
the effect of whlch lS at thls pOlnt uncertaln to them.
I have lnformed Mr. Armstrong that I would not respond to any of
hls comments over the telephone, but that I would provlde hls lnput
to the varlOUS members of the Clty negotlatlng team. Although
Mr. Armstrong lndlcated that that would not necessarlly be a
comprehenslve proposal, It appears to me that It represents the
best Judgment of all the Justlce Corporatlon lnterests, and I
