MINUTES CITY COUNCIL March 28, 1990 Arkell asked if there were other sites within the City which the Council would consider for this proposal with Arkell pointing out that two smaller sites would be acceptable if one larger site was not available, It was pointed out that the property being discussed is zoned B-3 adjacent to Little Canada Road, with Fahey commenting that he did not know the neighborhood reaction to senior housing on only this portion of property. It was also pointed out that there may be a site near the Venetian Inn that might interest Mr. Arkell. Blesener pointed out that he would like to see additional senior housing on the site adjacent to Garden Terrace, however, pointed out that the property is not large enough for the number of units Mr. Arkell is proposing. Again Mr. Arkell stated that he would be interested in two smaller sites. It was pointed out that the land adjacent to Garden Terrace is currently under option, however, if that option is not renewed, The Cottages would approach the owner. Blesener stated that he would not vote to approve the development of 100 units on the site adjacent to Garden Terrace.
