Paul Bohannon, 204 Pointe Oakwood Way, shared that he is the Treasurer for the Pointe Oakwood Homeowners Association. He asked if the legal agreement between the City, Oakwood Investment Group and Hills Properties restricted uses of the top of the hill. He recalled that it was to be an office building.

Mr. Jacques explained that from a zoning standpoint what the applicant is proposing would be an accessory use that is not inconsistent with the use of that parcel as an office building. Mr. Jacques added that his recollection of the legal agreement was that it was silent on details such as a pickleball court or other accessory uses.

Mayor Duncan closed the public hearing.

Mr. Kopilchack, Synergy Building Systems, shared that the entire project was created with the neighbors in mind.
