Letters were introduced into the record from the Chamber of Commerce~ supporting the application; and from Prides Crossing Homeowners~ S. E. Burgasser~ and Re D° Heffelfingers opposing the application. Councilman Tyler questioned the Subdive!on Ceu~nittee's suggestion that a 50 Year age limit be imposed and the Planning Director stated that the Planning Commission did not impose this condition although it was f~lt by the Subdivision Connnittee to be desirable. Councilman Robbing asked what the General Plan indicated for this area and was advised that the area was designated R-M on the 1960 General Plans changed to single family residential in 1962 and changed back to multiple residential when the General Plan was reviewed in 1965. Mayor Hartman called for comments from the audience and the following persons spoke: Dr. ISAAC ABRAMS, 13025 Saratoga Avenue, listed a number of reasons why he felt the site was excellent for the proposed use. These reasons were, primarilys l) Multiple use was acceptable to the c0mmuhity by the 1960 adoption of the General Plan~ . 2) the site is isolated geographically 3) traffic feeds directly to a major arterial Sireere! 4) the topo- graphy is flat and adj~c~n~ ~0 shopping facilities. 5) A special com- mittee was appointed by ehe Mayor to Study retirement faCility. needs and 6) this site~ developed aS prdpoSeds will meet the needs of the community for retirement livih~. JOSEPH CONNOLLY, 13690 Beaumont Avenue, spoke in favor of the application. He described other areas zoned for multiple family residential use and stated that these areas are nndeveloped because of unsuitability of location and steephess of terrain~ or are economically not feasible for development° The Saratoga Avenue site under consideration was, however~ considered by Mr. Cormoily to be ideal for the adult cormnunity proposed and would provide suitable homes for Saratogans who would otherwise have to move to other areas when they reach an age when they can no longer maintain large homes. Mr. Connolly also stated that revenue to the City would be increased through high assessed value of land without need for the services required by families with children. ED DEMERE, 12371 Saratoga Greek Drive, Vice President of the Saratoga Park Woods Homao~ners Association, spoke in opposition to the application and listed the following reasons: l) density is too high for the site 2) there is no assurance that the development would be restricted to adults and 3) it would establish precedent for applications for similar uses along Saratoga Avenue. Mr. Demote presented a petition suggesting that density be reduced to 7 units per acre and stated that it had been signed by 318 persons, representing 80% of the homeo%mers contacted. MRS. HAROLD SCHARFF, 20199 Glasg~ Drives asked if access would be directly onto Saratoga Avenue and was advised that it would and that the existing median crossing would sense for left turns~ ORVILLE G!ASS, resident of Saratoga Woods~ spoke in favor of the appli- cation, stating that most of the persons signing the petition presented by Mr. Demote were young and that if the proposed facilities had been constructed five or ten years ago many of Saratoga's fine citizens would have remained among their friends and neighbors. SARATOGACITY COt~ClLPLINUTES - JUNE 21s 1967 - Continued V. - A. - C-106 - M.V.S. CO. - Continued DR. THOMAS G. SCItULTZ, 19348 Columbine Court, expressed opposition to the proposed development which he stated would result in a density of 50 to 60 people per acre° He said that he thought the location was ideal for mul[iple family residential use but that the density proposed is too high and would generate traffic problems and, furthermore~ that he did not agree that it should be specified for an adult conmunity. Dr. Schultz commented that he is a member of the Institute of Traffic Engineers. JOHN HOLMES, 20326 Pierce Roads urged approval of the application and indicated that although a density of 14 units per acre may be too low for an equitable return, he felt that 7 units per acre would be necessarily priced out of range of the persons for whom the development was designed. ALBERT KIRSCH, 13621 Old Tree Way, opposed the application and stated that exclusive adult ccunnunity apartments are difficult to keep tenanted C-106 and that, in his opinions displaced persons from other areas would M.V.S. eventually be attracted to the area and that subsidized housing for Co. families with children would probably then occupy the apartments, MRS. JOHN CORR, De Havilland Drive, stated.that she is not opposed to the retirement facility but that she is concerned that the density would be too high and that she is especially concerned as to how the additio hal vacant 10 acres will be developed. MRS. JAMES, 15251 E1 Camthe Grande~ expressed strong support for the proposed development. W. R. COOK, 20280 Saratoga Vista Court~ spoke in favor of the application and commented that he doubted that high cost apartmentw would ever be the object of subsidized housing. ~OROTHY PARKER asked the Mayor if he would ~quest a show of hands from those persons present who fa~0red the propdsal and roughly 25 persons indicated approvgl. DR. ISAAC ABRAMS stated that he aid nee think there was mly opposition to the location and that th~ question of density appears to be the primary point of objection. Dr. Abrams indicated that no structures are proposed except one and two story units and that the location of the units has been designed to distribute the two story structures so that adjacent neighbors would have only one story units and trees in their line of view. Dr. Abrams also reviewed the studies of the Planning Commission regarding density and concluded his remarks with the observation that his plans are based on an estimated 1~8 persons per dwelling unit. No one else from the floor wished to comment and Councilman Burry moveds seconded by Councilman Tyler, to close the public hearing; motion carried unanimously at 9:45 P. M. Mayor Hartman, with no ob]ection, directed Ordinance NS-3-ZC-38 introduced and advised those present that the matter will be considered by the Council at the next regular meeting but that the public hearing on the application has been closed.
