Holland called attention to a comment made hq a representative of the people in Countrq Club Pinea vicinity at leat meet- ing, and read fYrom the minutes said stetement referring to 'parka' as being undseii- able and a breeding place for crimes; to tirhich N,r. Hollami vigorously obfected, pointing out that our parks in his opinion is one of the citg's best departments, hrnaever, if the people vrent the park auggestion removed from the reetrictiona it ' would be agreeable to him; although, he felt it should remaitt. He also atated that he ob3acted to some comment'made at last Council meeting whfch refleoted on the einceritq and integrity of the orrnera of the property proposed for re2oning, to-wit: Na. Bergen, d's. Penton and himself.......... Councilman i°ade remerked that, at last Council meeting after objection oP those present to the city's acquiring that portion of property, lots 7-8-9'for parke purposes, sdthdrew that item ami asked that it be removed from the restrictions, whioh hea been done. Nr. John Bright Hill was present and stated that he ia sorrg that Mr. DeChampa ie not present thia morning; that,, he is sure that there was no intentiott on the psrt of hia group to reflect on the sincerity and ability to carry out the agreement of the ovrners of thia propertq...... that as he recalled, the only point made was, that the restrictions could be changed; howener the graup felt that as long sa the afore- mentioned gentlemen, Holland, Penton and Bergen remein owners oP the property there would tae noattempt to change the restrictions; also, if perheps two or three.yeare from today the present owners decide to aell they might sell it to someone who would change the restrictione. He also steted thet Nr. Harnhill, Attorney, and his group . have tried to work out some agreement on the site which would not effect the re- strictiona as presently drawn; hocrever, they are asking thet the following be in-. cluded in the restrictione: "At the end of restriction 8, "Provided, however that for and 3n coneideration of the sum of One Dollar, the receipt of vrhich is ac]rnowledgel by the ownera, and other valuable considerations, these restrictione shall hot be changed unless spproval is secured by a majority af ths Lhen ownere of the fo2lowing lots 15 end 16 in Pine Court Development; Lots 35, 36, 54 and 55 af Country Club Pinea, and lots 10, il, 38, 39, 40, 41 and 42 of Country Club Pinea Extension De- velopment; this would aeaure the present ownera of the adSacent property that the restrictions wouid not be changed tv+o or three yeara from aow; elso, that restrictfons shall run until January 1, 1972, or 20 years. Nr. Holland at this point remarked that, this ia a rather novel and unusuel re- queat; that 2ae cennot see why an adjoining development should hane control over another development; that, it ia the owner's itttention to develop and sell the reaidential property under dfacussion,9 lot by lot; that,3t is not the intention to sell the property ae s whole. • , ? ° 2 - Mr. Thos.
