Mr. Warren stated that the City Attorney had also s~)mitted a report to the Agency which stated, in part, that condominiums are a conditionally permitted use when developed pursuant to the criteria of the Planned Development District. Chairman Schuster declared the public hearing open and asked if there was anyone to speak to Use Permit 79-4. Mr. Donald C. Berman, representing the applicant, stated that a package had been sent to the Planning Agency members, last week, containing additional information. He said that as of two weeks ago they were unaware of any further submissions required by the City. He said it came as a shock to find that Mr. Chase was somehow left with the im- pression that following a meeting with Mr. Reid and staff, they owed the City a written description of how they intended to meet the sound attenuation rcquirements. At the time of the meeting with .Mr. Reid it had been decided that since they had already retained a firm to aid them in meeting these standards, that the City required no further input until the actual work would be done, at which time additional drawings would be required. He said there was no question that they would do certain things on test apartments and get them up to the speci£icat[ons. He further stated that the company is prepared to accept the City's conditions, fully confident that during the refur- bishing process they would be able to make the required changes to meet the standards required. There was no question that it could be done. Chairman Schuster asked if there was anyone else who wished to speak to Use Permit 79-4.
