Good afternoon John, 
 
Thank you for your below email. 
 
My replies providing current status of the items listed in Chuck Knoles 4/18/2024 email to you are below in [ALL 
CAPS].  My replies are based on (1) things Chapman has done and is doing in response issues discussed during 
the 3/12/2024 N-H Meeting and (2) on a conversation between Chuck and I a couple of days ago. 
 
Please note I have included Chuck in this reply and ask that Chuck please let you and me know if he disagrees with 
any of my below updates/responses. 
 
Finally, you noted in your below email that you would be providing Chuck’s 4/18/2024 to the Members of the CE 
VPC.  I ask that you also include my below updates/responses to the CE VPC so the VPC Members do not 
mistakenly perceive Chapman has outstanding issues with Chuck and his neighbors. 
 
Please let me know if you have questions, need additional information, etc. 
 
Thank you,

Planner II Village 
John, 
Thanks for your email. 
Below I have listed the so-far unwritten “stipulations” that Chapman BMW lawyers (Mr. Bull) and I shook hands on at 
the community meeting that took place on Tuesday, March at Chapman. The meeting with Mr. Bull and his team was 
very positive and congenial and we have noticed a marked improvement with Chapman BMW and their parking and 
delivery of product. We support the proposed re-zoning noting the items below. 
Items presented and discussed and shook hands on. (Read stipulations) 
 
1. Chapman BMW employees were directed to park in the parking garage on property and not on 8th Place in the 
timelimited

3
parking curb area.  [CORRECT – CHAPMAN EMPLOYEES HAVE BEEN AND ARE NOW PARKING EXCLUSIVELY IN THE 
GARAGE (AND NOT ON 8TH PLACE, SINCE 3/13/2024).]   
 
2. Chapman BMW would work to have delivery of their products in such a way that the transport semi-trucks would not
block access for two-way traffic on 8th place.  [DURING THE 3/12/2024 N-H MEETING MR. KNOLES, OTHER NEIGHBORS 
AND CHAPMAN REPRESENTATIVES DISCUSSED MAKING THE EAST SIDE OF 8TH PLACE ADJACENT TO CHAPMAN BMW’S 
PROPERTY A “LOADING ZONE” (RATHER THAN A “2-HOUR PARKING ZONE”).  WE DISCUSSED THE “LOADING ZONE” 
REQUEST WITH THE STREETS TRANSPORATATION DEPARTMENT AND SUBMITTED A “LOADING ZONE” APPLICATION TO 
THE CITY – WHICH WAS APPROVED.  SINCE THEN, CHAPMAN BMW (a) WORKED WITH THEIR NEW-CAR DELIVERY 
TRUCKERS TO REQUIRE ALL NEW CAR DELIVERIES OCCUR ON-SITE (RATHER THAN IN 8TH PLACE) AND (b) AGREED TO 
REQUEST THE EAST SIDE OF 8TH PLACE ADJACENT TO CHAPMAN’S PROPERTY BE POSTED WITH “NO PARKING” SIGNS 
(RATHER THAN POSTED WITH “DELIVERY ZONE” SIGNS).  THE CITY’S APROVAL OF “NO PARKING” SIGNS IS ATTACHED.] 
 
3. Chapman BMW re-routed customer test drives and post-mechanical work drives would take place having cars from 
Chapman BMW exit South onto Camelback Road and on a route that would not have customers or workers use 8th 
Place and E. Colter for the “test drive”. [CORRECT – SINCE 3/13/2024 CHAPMAN CUSTOMER AND TECHNICIAN TEST 
DRIVES HAVE BEEN REROUTED PER MAPS CHAPMAN PROVIDED DURING THE 3/12/2024 N-H MEETING.] 
 
4. Chapman BMW would work in step with the Eighth Street Square HOA neighborhood group to establish a “loading 
zone” only area on the west side of 8th Place contiguous with Chapman BMW where the time-limited parking now 
exists.  [SEE ABOVE #2 – WHICH CONFIRMS THE EAST SIDE OF 8TH PLACE ADJACENT TO CHAPMAN BMW HAS BEEN 
APPROVED BY CITY STAFF FOR “NO PARKING” SIGNS.] 
 
[I BELIEVE EACH OF OUR ABOVE RESPONSES ARE CURRENT, CORRECT AND IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE DISCUSSION A 
COUPLE OF DAYS AGO BETWEEN CHUCK KNOLES AND I.  I ASK MR. KNOLES WEIGH-IN ACCORDINGLY IF CHUCK 
DISAGREES WITH ANY OF OUR ABOVE RESPONSES. 
Ed.]  
 
I look forward to being present at the Camelback East Village Planning Committee meeting set for May 7 at 3pm for the 
re-zoning. 
I WILL NEED TO KNOW THE LOCATION for the above meeting. 
Sincerely, 
Chuck Knoles

Good afternoon Mike.  In accordance with our discussions,  Chapman BMW is 
requesting to have No Parking signs placed on the east side of 8th Place along 
Chapman BMW’s entire property line to avoid customers, car hauler trucks, third party 
suppliers and/or employees from parking on the east side of 8th place adjacent to 
Chapman’s dealership.  Accordingly, this email will serve to formerly withdraw 
Chapman’s previously approved Loading Zone application, and instead, move forward 
with implementation of No Parking restrictions and signage along 8th Place.  Should you 
need anything further to process our No Parking request, please let me know.  Thank 
you. - Leslie
