He stated that throughout Columbia there�s the diversity of C-1 and RG-1. He stated that if approved, the structure would be owner occupied and the residential character would remain.

F. 626 Superior Street, TMS# 11212-19-02, 03, 08, and 09; rezone from M-1 and RG-2 to PUD-R.
Mr. Harrison Murray, Developer / Greenhill Properties, Inc., stated that the proposed development is not in competition with the Columbia Housing Authority�s Rosewood Hills Project. He explained that he purchased the site from Mr. Sam Clark to develop a multi-family housing community. He said that there is an apparent conflict between the two developments. He noted that their vision is to compliment Rosewood Hills by developing ninety-(90) units at a different but reasonable price point. He explained that he later found out that the CHA had designated this property for a detention pond, road widening and an easement to service the retention pond. He said that in January Mr. Clark received an offer from CHA to purchase the property for $175,000 less than Greenhill Properties offered. It was determined that CHA has eminent domain powers and the right to exercise those powers. Mr. Murray said that he proposed to extend the depth of the planned lagoon to allow CHA to pipe their storm water into the lagoon. He said that they were served with condemnation papers and in return filed a motion to contest the condemnation to protect their business interests. He requested that City Council defer consideration of this matter until a resolution is reached.
Mr. Bob Amundson, Rosewood Community Council President, stated that proper land use for the area is most important to the community. He said that they agree with the East Central City Consortium�s idea for this area. He said that they do not want a retention pond surrounded by M-1 zoning. He encouraged the members of City Council to assist in resolving this matter without involving the courts.
Ms. Julia Prater, Columbia Housing Authority, stated that they have had discussions about this property with the developer. She said that CHA has City approval and DHEC approval on the retention pond. She admitted that they knew they had to have off site storm water retention and would have to obtain two (2) additional properties. She said that an offer was made to Mr. Clark for a portion of the land needed for the pond and right of way acquisition. She stated that their concern is about the density of the proposed development, because the community did not want the density of Rosewood Hills to exceed 8 units per acre.
Ms. Bessie Watson, Edisto Court Community Council President / 85 Easy Street, said that she is concerned about density also, but their biggest concern was the retention pond. She encouraged further discussions prior to City Council making a decision.
Upon motion by Mayor Coble, seconded by Mr. Cromartie, Council voted unanimously to form a committee consisting of Councilwoman Anne Sinclair serving as Chair and representatives from Edisto Court, the Rosewood Community, the Columbia Housing Authority and Greenhill Properties, Inc. to discuss conflicts between the proposed Rosewood Hills and 626 Superior Street developments. There was a clear consensus that City Council does not support the high density of the 626 Superior Street development.
· City Council closed the Public Hearing at 12:29 p.m.
Ms. Shirley Fields-Martin, Greening the Arts Festival Executive Director, requested another loan in the amount of $10,000 to be repaid within a twelve (12) month period. She explained that she was eligible to receive only $12,000 of the $25,000 that was previously allocated from the Accommodations Tax Fund.
Mr. Temple Ligon, The Columbia Star, encouraged the members of Council to be more open when considering the density of the proposed project at 626 Superior Street. He said that density creates a demand for goods and services.
· City Council adjourned the meeting at 12:36 p.m. to reconvene the Work Session.
