ROSEVILLE QUESTIONS 1. Our vision for this site is to create a senior living neighborhood where residents will feel safe, secure and connected to their community. We envision that seniors of all backgrounds, income levels and ages will live in this neighborhood. Seniors will be able to choose whether to own or rent. If their incomes are modest, they can choose affordable housing options, whereas seniors with more means will have market rate options. Residents can choose to take advantage of a wide variety of services offered on an optional basis such as meal preparation, home health care, housekeeping, transportation, social activities, etc., or they can choose to remain as independent as desired. From the outside, neighbors will see attractively landscaped and professionally groomed grounds with a passive activity park centered around the existing pond. Residents will access the park as well as services along Snelling and Hamline Avenues via extensive walkways that are connected to neighborhood sidewalks. On any given day, neighbors will likely see seniors taking strolls through the neighborhood or making trips to local restaurants, groceries, bingo parlors and other shops. For those residents who aren't as mobile, there will be frequent van services and other service providers visiting the neighborhood linking seniors with services they need. Viewed from the inside, this senior community will be teeming with activity. Daily, residents will gather in the community rooms, lounge areas, craft rooms, etc. to socialize. There will be frequent organized activities that residents may choose from such as information seminars, exercise programs, parties, etc. And of course residents will be able to take advantage of daily informal opportunities to simply visit with friends over coffee or a game of cards or any number of craft activities. The menu of options available to these senior residents is both more extensive and easily accessible due to the design of this neighborhood. Seniors will have these services available at their finger tips simply due to their close proximity to one another. We envision that our senior residents will enjoy lifestyle enhancements due to increased options available to them. From a physical building standpoint, seniors will choose from 242 one or two bedroom rental apartments in two 4-story elevatored buildings of brick and low- maintenance vinyl siding. Seniors will have both affordable and market rate options available - underground parking as well as all additional services are optional. Seniors may also choose to own their own unit, as we will also offer 44 1-story cottage units with either two or three bedrooms. Each cottage will come with a full basement and an attached garage.
