Planning Commission Minutes October 5, 1983 -2- Mr. Lynden, attorney for Presbyterian Homes, indicated the negotiation sessions have narrowed the issues: The City initially wanted 11.59 acres, and Presbyterian Homes wanted to sell zero acres. The City then indicated it could provide its desired uses on 7.7 acres. Presbyterian Homes indicated it would sell 5.5 acres. Presbyterian Homes determined it could not provide a campus-type environment if they were to sell 7.7 acres to the City. The executive committee recently directed Dr. Hagstrom and Mr. Lynden to propose the dedication of 6 acres to the City. Presbyterian Homes' architect displayed drawings of the initial passive park proposal and the revised park proposal based on a six-acre dedication. Mr. Dahlgren asked why Presbyterian Homes needs to rezone part of the proposed passive park to R-3. Mr. Lynden indicated Presbyterian Homes does not need to rezone the passive park area to R-3. The rezoning line could be north of the tennis courts. Mr. Lynden suggested it may be possible for Presbyterian Homes to obtain a special use permit for its proposed use with an R-l zoning. He suggested the City check with its attorney on the matter. Discussion Matson indicated he supports Presbyterian Homes' proposal for conversion of the school building. He questioned the absolute need to provide such a large passive park area for the elderly care facility. He felt the public open space facilities adjacent to the school would be suitable for use by the elderly. Matson indicated that prior to the recent proposal of a six-acre dedication, he was in favor of the 7.76 acre alternative. He needs more time to examine the recent proposal before making a recommendation on it. Wiski suggested there are four pieces to Presbyterian Homes' proposal: 1. Reuse of the school building for 170 units of housing. 2. Future nursing units. 3. Provision of a passive park. 4. Provision of parking in two areas - north of the school, and west of the school.
