Mr, Phil Lovan~ speaking as a City employee, appeared in
support of Mr. Lee Hemingway stating he feels he has been "shoved out
the door" after 86 years of service. Mr. Lovan is appalled at the
lack of comments and support. Council President Williams speaking on

each individual member. This is no reflection on an individual's
performance~ however the Council understands the separtion of powers
and supports the managerial changes the Mayor made. Mr. Lovan again

STATEMENT IN SUPPORT
OF
PUD APPLICATION
Ohio Riverside DevelopmentCorporation
affiliate of DeMars Haka DeVelopment, Inc.
Jeffersonville, Indiana
Submitted to
Planning and Zoning Commission
City of Jeffersonville

Attorney for
Applicant
RiverPointe ProjeCt
The RiverPointe Project is being developed by applicant
in the riverfront area between the two bridges. At the present
time, the apartment tower is under construction pursuant to
building permits, reviews and approvals by various state and
federal agencies issued prior to the new zoning ordinance of the
City of Jeffersonville. The next part of Phase I of the overall
project involves two types of buildings. Nineteen townhouses
will be built fronting on the north side of Riverside Drive.
These will be developed either as condominiums or as zero-lot-
line single-family homes. If the latter, a property owners
association will be created, but the units will not be
condominiums. The association will havelthe power to assure
uniformity of exteriors and appearance. There will be party wall
agreements between adjoining landowners, but otherwise, each
townhouse will be free of the type of joint repair and
maintenance obligations which typify condominiums. These units
will be approximately 2000 square feet, and will sell for about
$175,000.
On the south side of Riverside Drive, the plan calls for
parking, public park land, and several commercial buildings.
Present plans are for these to be restaurants and shops.
The overall architecture will be consistent with the
building which is currently under construction.
On the western side of the property south of Riverside
Drive, the plan contains one residential building. We request
2
that this building be deleted from the plan because it is on rear
property which is not included in the surveys we have presented.
Plans for the utilities and infrastructure have already been
submitted to the Department of Redevelopment, and Geupel DeMars
Company, an affiliate of the applicant, is serving as the
Construction manager on the infrastructure. The utilities will
be adequate for the development proposed~
The anticipated residents for the townhouses will be young
childless professionals or older empty-nesters. For this reason,
we do not expect any significant impact upon schools. Parking is
being provided on-site, including visitor parking. In addition,
the adjoining property under Highway 1-65 is being developed into
a parking lot by the Jeffersonville Department of Redevelopment.
Hence, the project should not increase parking congestion on the
surrounding streets.
We request that the Commission specifically note in the
minutes that it approves the plan insofar as it may deviate from
the density requirements in Section 156.82 of the Zoning
Ordinance. Also, Section 156.86 seems to assume a project would
be condominiums; the to~nhouses may not be condominiums. We
request that our proposed structure be approved insofar as it
might be inconsistent with Section 156.86.
When the construction drawings are finished, and the City
Council approves the outline plan, applicant will, as provided in
the Zoning Ordinance, file the detailed plans for approval by the
Commission.
