Dylan Reingold and Paul Harden representing AFI Associates answered numerous questions from the committee and discussed the concerns/issues raised by the Planning Department, Office of General Counsel and JEDC.   There was discussion of the 15% appraisal difference clause and what actions that would trigger.  Council Member Crescimbeni suggested the need for a mechanism to allow the deal to go forward if the property appraisals differ by more than 15%, but with City Council participation so that the decision is not entirely an administrative one.  Council Member Carter asked several questions regarding the hunting preserve adjacent to the park property and the timber rights on the property.
