Mr. Kirkman stressed that the application is conceived and designed for the elderly and that the Knutson Company would have no obj ections to the conditions which were outlined by Mr. Pope. Mr. Kirkman stated tht the Knutson application included the following requests: Maximum Permitted is .5 sq. ft. Required lot size for the proposed 150 units = 285,800 sq. ft. 1.

Mr. Kirkman commented that they wanted to provide the lowest rent possible and that the anticipated rent for the proposed building would be in the area of $130 for most of the residents. He acknowledged that the "236" Housing Program is under attack from various sources including some critical remarks which have been made by Department of Housing and Urban Developnent Secretary Rommney. However, Mr. Kirkman indicated that to date no better program has been devised. Mr. Cox, engineer representing the Knutson Development Company presented comput- ations and drawings which displayed the effect of the 8 story building on the Lebens NUrsery located directly to the east of the proposed development. The con- clusinns of his study indicated that the shadow effect caused by the building would be negligible during the month of January, approximately 2% loss of sunlight during the months of March and September and approximately .15% loss of sunlight during the month of June. He indicated that these months were examples of what the effect of the shadow would be on the greenhouse operation of Mr. Lebens.
