Following the site analysis, a preliminary concept plan was prepared by
Helhnuth, Obata & Kassabaum (HOK) , which created a building core of mixed
uses. Then the HOK architects prepared a raster plan and site analysis
which was more specific.
The firm, PAWA Winkelmann & Associates, Inc. , was hired to do traf fic
studies and Civil Engineers of the firm Graham & Associates, Inc. , was
hired in to do soil studies, drainage analyses and review of utilities.
It was also noted • Mr. Williams, that economic and marketing analysis
were done by the firm of Laventhol & Horwath. All was part of the attempt
to create the raster planning for Mr. Brodsky's Airport 2000 project.
When the property went into the rezoning process on June 7, 1984, Mr.
Brodsky had substantial discussions with the City concerning the issue.
The rezoning of the property resulted in the preparation of a mixed use
ordinance by consultants • Mr. Brodsky, which was called an airport mixed
use ordinance, which was discussed in detail with the City, but never
adopted-
Following Mr. Williams summary • events which lead to the public hearing
on vested rights, he then requested that the Board • Zoning Adjustment
approve the case with an unspecified termination date. He noted that by
the Board recognizing the vested rights, it would allow the applicant to
make available to the city at no cost, the right-of-way for FM2499.

relative to reserving property for riqht-of-way purposes for FM2499, for

witnesses available for comment. Mr. Williams stated that he had no
witnesses available at this time. At this point, Mr. Brodsky stated to the
Board that no witnesses were called by him and that he and his counsel
decided to summarize and provide documentation to the Board, themselves.
At this point in the meeting, a brief recess was called by Chairman Lamb.
At approximately 8:45 P.M. the meting reconvened and Chairman Lamb then
asked if anyone of the public, present, wished to speak regarding the
evening's agenda. At this point there was no one who wished to speak on
behalf of the case, therefore, the Board asked if the City Staff had
questions for the applicant. Then the City's Legal Consultant, Mr. Marlin
Smith desired to speak and was then issued the Oath of Truth in order to
proceed. Mr. Smith then asked Mr. Brodsky some questions relative to the
reservation of utility service to his project. He also directed questions
to Mr. Brodsky relative to his plans for development of this site and also
if he had construction drawings for buildings, roads, etc. Mr. Brodsky's
responses were relative to getting his zoning and utilities resolved and
the effect they would have on his plans.
Following questions by the Board Members and City Staff and there being no
objectors, an opportunity for rebuttal was available for Staff members as
they desired. Mr. Boyle then wished to introduce Ordinance No. 70-10 into
the record; this ordinance is the base ordinance that I-1 zoning is
incorporated in.
Following the form of the meting, Chairman Lamb declared the public
hearing closed and mentioned that a decision on the matter would be
forthcoming within the next forty (40) days and that Mr. Brodsky and his
counsel would be notified of the Board's deliberations.
