Gage said that the new office buildings are now triggering the need for the road and objected to the assessment being levied against the Garron Corporation. Dis- cussion ensued as to whether the manner of assessment should be discussed at this time, inasmuch as this is the improvement, rather than the assessment, hearing.

Mr. Hughes recommended approval, pro- vided that atconservation restriction be imposed which limits the parcel's use for recreational facilities accessory to a single family dwelling. Wr. Hughes called Council's attention to a letter from MS. Beatrice G. Dvorak, 5400 Akers Lane, objecting to theproposedconstruction of a platform tennis structure. Ms. Dvorak based her objection on the grounds that the platform tennis structure has no obstruct the view of the residence to the East. has no control over this type of construction, but in response to Council's con- cern about the visual impact of the platform tennis structure, the City Attorney opined that some restrictions could be established by ordinance. MS. Mary Dvorak expressed her concern that the property to the East would be difficult to sell if it had to look out on a structure of this type.
