Mr. Cunningham asked for clarification regarding who the investors are; and, who the beneficiaries of the tax credits for the project would be. He also asked if the project would continue to be a senior project after the 15-year federal commitment. Jim Ballentine, 1883 West Ryan, stated the project was a good opportunity for senior residences in the neighborhood and near to support services. It would allow residents to share in and grow old in Roseville. Tom Galush, 1864 Eldridge Avenue, stated that he agreed with Mr. Cunningham's opposition to the project, noting that the project was squeezed on the site and that green space was inadequate. He also was concerned about the school site being reduced, and the number of retaining walls and ponds utilized could be a safety hazard to children in the area. He expressed opposition to in-wall air conditioning units as aesthetically unpleasing. He stated that, on Sundays, the Corpus Cristi Church parking area is already over- capacity. He asked if the number of units already in Roseville was necessary, and whether this additional senior housing site was required. Dorothy Manke, no address given, stated that all seniors cannot afford Eagle Crest or Rosewood Estates, and that Roseville needs affordable housing for its seniors. Diane Madden, 1876 Gluek Lane, stated she was opposed to the project because the density was too high and asked how this project would fit into the City's Comprehensive Plan. Resident, 1841 Eldridge Avenue, stated he was opposed to the project as per the opposition listed by Mr. Cunningham. He is also opposed to the project because it would add traffic, decrease safety, and increase noise. He stated this was not a quiet, peaceful site for retirement. Tom Vella, 1994 Fairview, stated he supported the project and was looking for a senior site in Roseville for relatives. He stated the traffic was not bad, and there is a need for affordable senior housing in the community. There was no further public comment. Chairman Keith Wietecki closed the public hearing and read into the record the letters ITom Borden and Sizer opposing the project. 6
