I was told at the last council meeting with <br />the task force that the westerly part of the HOM property was to be included <br />in the proposed rezoning to some type of residential housing. If this <br />application is approved, then the property would be tied up and no zoning <br />changes would be able to occur. <br /> <br />The intent of the whole six plus acres was to redevelop it into a lower <br />traffic generating type of use. As I see what is happening with the HOM <br />property and the possible proposal of a small strip mall and office building <br />on the south side of Oakcrest, the exact opposite is going to happen. <br /> <br />What ever happened to the senior housing concept? At a council meeting <br />about a month ago, the council recognized a report that showed the city is <br />in need of this type of housing. Why isn't this being considered any more <br />for this site? <br /> <br />I would greatly appreciate any comments on this memo. <br />Thanks, <br />Lynn H.
