4. Begin Pre-marketing campaign including: (90-120 days) - Press releases to local papers. - Meet with local senior groups. - Meet with local service providers. - Meet with local religious groups. - Send written survey to interested seniors. - Conduct focus group interviews to refine building design and service package. - All marketing is geared towards developing a wait list and refining design. 5. Receive tax-exempt bonding authority (January 1996). 6. Complete working drawings (March 1996). 7. Receive construction bids (April 1996). 8. Sell bonds and start construction (May 1996). 9. Building ready for occupancy (May 1997). 5. Our development concept provides a good deal of flexibility to adapt to the changing needs of the market, the City, and the Activity Center. First it should be noted that only 44 of the 286 units we are proposing for this site are contingent on what transpires with the Activity Center. We are prepared to acquire and build on the Activity Center site at whatever time it becomes available. The remaining 242 units of housing will be built in two 121-unit buildings. Depending on market demand and the City's objectives we could develop both buildings concurrently, orwe could stage development depending on the needs of the marketplace. It should also be noted that this concentration of units allows us to offer a broad array of services to our residents at cost effective rates. And most importantly, we design our buildings to adapt to residents changing needs as they age in place. For instance, all units are fully adaptable to residents who may become wheelchair bound. And we design adequate common area space to provide for visiting nurses, beauty salons, craft areas - and our community room is large enough to accomodate sit-down dining should the demand for this service become evident. 6. It is clear that the City of Roseville contains a wide diversity of different neighborhoods, each with their own distinct flavor. In essence, our proposal calls for the creation of a small new neighborhood. In designing this neighborhood, we are attempting to be a IIgood neighbo~ by blending well with our Pre-existing neighbors on all sides. To the south and southwest our neighbors are a combination of mid-rise office and commercial establishments. Our commercial neighbors' biggest concerns are that we build an asthetically pleasing, quality structure that will add value to their buildings or businesses. Our design certainly provides an aesthetically pleasing structure, and our residents will most certainly help increase the sales of the restaurants and shops nearby.
