110 <br /> <br /> Ms. Melanie Bentley, 23 Gray Eagle Court, Member of the City's <br /> Human Services Commission, indicated that her strong support for <br /> the project and requested Council approval. <br /> <br /> Mr. Bob Schlarb, 5162 Greentree Court, stated that he was in <br /> favor of the project. <br /> <br /> Mr. Larry McColm, 3254 Omega Circle, indicated that he was in <br /> favor of this type of project in Pleasanton so that Pleasanton <br /> residents can have their elderly members close to their families. <br /> He stated that a vote for the project would be a vote for the <br /> senior citizens. <br /> <br /> Mr. Bob Wilson, 4173 Crisfield Lane, stated that the issue is <br /> that this is a right project in the wrong place. He expressed <br /> concern about the density of the project which would result in <br /> other issues like traffic, safety and the quiet enjoyment of the <br /> neighborhood on weekends and evenings. He added that the developer <br /> never proposed to meet with the neighbors and that the figures <br /> presented by the developer were constantly changing. He suggested <br /> that the appropriate place for this type of facility is in the <br /> City's old Corporation Yard, where a Senior Center is being <br /> planned. <br /> <br /> Mr. Mercer asked Mr. Wilson how many rooms would he consider <br /> to be a non-dense project. <br /> <br /> Mr. Wilson replied that the residents presented a proposal for <br /> 35 rooms, which was not acceptable to the developer. <br /> <br /> Ms. Mohr asked Mr. Wilson if 35 double occupancy rooms, <br /> resulting in a total of 70 residents, would meet his criteria. <br /> <br /> Mr. Wilson replied that he would like to see a plan for 35 <br /> rooms. <br /> <br /> Mr. David Sharp, 4145 Crisfield Lane, owner of the property <br /> directly across the project site, read a letter from Mr. Bruce <br /> Bandali, a resident of 4117 Crisfield Avenue, indicating that <br /> senior care facilities should be located in close proximity to <br /> shopping centers and parks where senior citizens can have the <br /> opportunity to walk and shop. The letter stated that the project <br /> is too dense and that the widening of Mohr Avenue for parking <br /> purposes would encourage speeding and aggravate the already bad <br /> traffic situation. Mr. Sharp added that he was opposed not to the <br /> project but to its high density and would like to see the project <br /> reduced by 50%. <br /> <br /> - 12 - <br /> 11-20-90 <br /> <br /> <br />
