Athens, OH

Athens, OH: (Apr-03-07) University Estates developers filed suit against the city after the city filed violation charges against University Estates owner Richard Conard. Disagreements between the parties began in June 2006, after the 830-acre development venture was annexed into the city, but faced problems with city authorities over zoning and code requirements. The suit demanded that the city drop code violation charges pending against Conard, not interfere with the construction of the company's 25-building condominium neighborhood and award more than $1 million in compensatory damages. The agreement dismissed the lawsuit with the $1 million payout and addressed specific ways city officials will work with University Estates representatives to prevent future problems over city codes that apply to the plans and construction.
