Ms. Faraone asked why we are buying the properties to make vacant land. Mr. Khaligian said the property owners are upset they are being surrounded by Industrial and they were not bought out. Ms. Faraone said she does not support the Amendment and wants to know what the properties are appraised for. Mr. Khaligian said the appraisals were done by a third party and he does not have that information with him. Alderperson Michalski said if they want us to purchase because of property is devalued or quality of life has decreased we should pay less. Alderperson Michalski would like to see the appraisal of the properties. Mayor Antaramian said we had people say they were not treated fairly because their property values decreased. The City is working with the County and said we will pay the value of the property, no increased amount. We are trying to solve a problem. City Plan Commission March 22, 2018
