<br />Senior Housing Workshop ~ June 19, 1996 <br /> <br />Mary Capra asked about the stability of the rent. Mr. Yantos said that it is given an <br />annual review and is generally a $1 0-$15/year increase. He added that the costs of upkeep <br />are important to maintain. <br /> <br />Mr. Yantos stated that they use a management group that deals with seniors and is aware <br />of each persons needs and services. Mr. March added that detailed and personal attention <br />is given by the management company. <br /> <br />Bob LaMotte, 1643 Heritage, asked if an older person -- 55 plus -- would be able to have <br />an adult handicapped child live with them in a project of this type. Mr. Yantos stated that <br />details like that can be worked out in an agreement once the project gets started. <br /> <br />Mr. Griesert stated that if everything was to get going now a spring 1997 construction <br />would not be unreasonable. Choosing a site would be the first thing to do. Although two <br />acres would be sufficient for the size being recommended the ideal size would be 5 acres <br />to provide some area for future expansion. Cottage style houses were recommended but <br />can still be discussed. <br /> <br />Tom Wilharber asked about Met Council's funding. Mr. Griesert agreed that it can be an <br />option but would put additional restrictions on the units. <br /> <br />Mr. Wilharber suggested that the seniors visit with other seniors in Ham Lake to discuss <br />the planning process. <br /> <br />Mr. Yantos agreed and suggested they come to the groundbreaking ceremony for the Ham <br />Lake project on July 9, 1996 at 12:30 p.m. at the site. <br /> <br />Mr. Yantos added that East Bethel is currently doing a market study and Lexington is <br />looking at doing a rehabilitation project. <br /> <br />Meeting adjourned at 7: 10 p.m. <br /> <br />Respectfully submitted, <br /> <br />Jtud1. b-Ut/}{Pt~!L) <br /> <br />Trudi Breuninger <br />City Clerk <br /> <br />t <br /> <br />SEN6-19.WPS <br /> <br />2 <br />
