or iacludmg a deed restriction. he snid . Which is 1hc pro1ccme cove ,um1 Uial Council h.u seen and,
appltClll'.y, been offended by.
Mayor Bums .aid Iha! ii seems 10 him Uia1 what U,cy arc doing U1en: is rcstrictmg the deed so they will oaly
have 10 meet a certain level of rcmcdiolion in order tojus1ify 3 con1inucd industrial use . So that they can
satisfy a State requin:mcnt for industrial level uses. He asked if U1at v os right Mr. Will advised Uoat they
arc n:spondlng 10 • conlraet Iha! they ho,-c. Mnyor Bums said he kn01 , 1l1a1. but U1e n:ason U,cy have a
deed rcsuicdon tlw climinlllcs olhcr uses is to confine 1hc1r complWlcc wi1h Slate restrictions 10 a certain

mc:ut tbal. someone. iu lhc future. couldn 'I do so111cthmg diCTcrcntl y. Bui. Mayor Bums 5i'.Ud. they had a
contmct for industrial use so l1u:y arc restricting th eir com pll :rn ce 10 the 111dustnaJ level, because of that
contract. Mr. Will poin&ed out 1h;u ii is industri.1I and com mcn:1al. 1luu 1hey arc not restricting ii just to
indusm:il .
Mr. Will said he wished the City's SlnfT had picked up the pho ne and cnllcd hil1L because he would have
been happy 10 1alk about !his issue 1111d they could ban: avoided 1lus concern . He advised that they doo 'I
bavc 10 go that far. of putting a full n:sidcnnnl deed rcs1ric1ion ou 1he property. 1l1a1 he is happy 10 look at
something ,.-:ss . A~in. he said. it was n stnnd:u'd technique. I hey were putting it in as a 5laqdard form. bul

he is sony th ., this became an issue . th,.11 he wish~ it h.1d11 '1. but now that u has. he is willing to set down
and find il w.l) 10 rcsol\'c it with 1hc Cit' 's smfT. He noted 1ha1 thi s aftcmoon, after he had a discussion

it meets the ( uy's need s. it meets Atlas's needs. He poimcd out ll1;11 11 1s 1101 a rcsidcnunJ contract the

for a rcsidcritjal use . TI1c bcuer mm'kel is for industri.11 use . He no1cd ii has a mil spur. ii is a very valuable
p1cce of propcny. :1s an indu s1ria l piec e of propcny an d th.1 1 is 11s history. Agnin, he said. he apologized for
their conccm and he oJTcrcd to answer any qucslions . Mr. \V iii st::u ed he docs no! believe the City needs to
go out and spend a fair amount or money perfonning a nsk assessment for this property . They have
performed a screening level risk assessment. which is al! that is rcqwrcd by tJ1LS program. 1lus is not a
Supcrfund type of program . It is a vo lunt ary program th.it is much more straight forward and simple than a
lot of otbcr cnV1ronmental asscssmcnl programs. So their level of asscss111r.111 was done at that level and
lhey looked at the full range. as they co mm111cd to . 8111 since 1he1r applic:uion was lin111 ed to industrial and
commercial uses . thal is wh,11 th ey pul m the apphc:11ion . Mr Will sa id he \\:IS sorry th ere \\3S that
nusundcrstanding . If they had :;c t down . he \\'ilS sure 1hey co uld ha\e .1 voidcd so me of th eir co ncerns.

meeting was looking for a user oftkpopcny to provide jobs wi1itin tl,c City . When the contract came
from Banon. who he bcliC\'CS is a sipufiCllll Englewood employer and a significant Englewood company.
we thoughl it was a good rnlx. he said. If those lines of communication dropped. he said, I apologi1.C.
What we looked at spccifocally ,.. ii-• good business decision for Atlas Mc141 and Iron. it was a good
business decision for Banoa. who .-i to Slily within I.he City, but realized that to stay within the Cily of
Englewood they were limiled in t111,1upiom. lltc option reall y was the Oena:iJ Iron Works r.ciliry. So
we thought it was a good .arriage. 11,o ,,otu,uary clconup application IOl1 of went along those lines.
We 've agreed that the deed rrstrictio11-10 be removed or renegotiated in such a way that it allows for
01her development in the futulC . But !fiac dc\-dopmc111 at th.is point th.it we sec is for B3Iton Brothers to
