<br />
<br />.
<br />
<br />O. ,Bussard, 3243 Sandeen Rd. 01 rect neighbor, astounded at sl ze
<br />of new expansion, IncompatIble with residentIal character of area,
<br />equipment Is noisy, doesn't want Sandeen Rd. as service drive for

<br />
<br />A. Vessey, 3280 lake Johanna Blvd. Sorry he "sold people" on
<br />first Presbyterian Homes construction, now growing like a cancer.

<br />

<br />
<br />H. lagestrom, 3255 Sandeen Road. Planning Commission denied over

<br />of benches and fence on Sandeen Rd. are poor.
<br />
<br />Mrs. H. Erickson, 3442 Siems Ct. Employee of home, emploYment
<br />opportunities for residents are prime benefit, young people have

<br />hours convenient for housewives, etc.
<br />
<br />G. Clark, 3115 Shol"ellood Rd. Doesn't disagree with principle
<br />of service, fsels there is communication'lag, tried to meet with

<br />Feels they're "ramming project down us."
<br />
<br />In reply to above comments, Horty noted that retaining wall has
<br />been taken away, entrance Is the same, no thru traffic from center
<br />of site, bermlng and landscaping of employee parking lot is planned,
<br />large parking area which Is presently paved wll I be removed and
<br />landscaped, number of trucks wIll not increase though deliveries
<br />may be In larger quantities. Hagstrom said set back at Sandeen
<br />Rd. Is 62 feet, no~. a blind corner. Rates for housing units will
<br />be about $200 for efficiency, $250 for I bedroom, excluding meals.
<br />
<br />J. Fensted, Asst. Administrator, said he had contacted residents
<br />abutting Presbyterian Homes about 2 months ago re proposed expansion,
<br />detail of plans wel"e not prepared at that time, Presbyterian Homes
<br />always looking for volunteers, doors not locked, plannIng consider-
<br />ations for this addition have. been going on for some time, confirmed
<br />that orders may be larger but felt truck traffic would not increase.
<br />
<br />.
<br />
<br />Two resIdents from Presbyterian Homes spoke, one commenting that
<br />if all elderly couid live as well as she does, they'd be lucky,
<br />grounds are not closed to neighbors, neighbors walk dogs on poInt,
<br />grounds are beautiful, nearby resident has old red truck piied
<br />with lumber along fence. 'The other resident noted that site had
<br />been donated by member of House of Hope Church, appreciatIon is
<br />due to al I the fine work that has been done In developing facIlity
<br />and services.
<br />
<br />Wingert moved, seconded by Woodburn. that whi Ie Council endorses
<br />services beIng provided and offered by Presbyterian Homes, Special
<br />Use Permit be denied because of:
<br />I. Excessive height of building.
<br />2. Excessive development of this plan for this residential
<br />neighborhood and far too much intensIfication for this
