community aging, but Highway 10 is easily accessible for family, guests and other types of senior transportation modes. It is also close to several retailers and services which may be utilized by the residents, and is especially convenient because many do not drive. The area is • lacking in assisted living for seniors, and the success of Silver Pointe is testament to this fact. (Oak Crest is still not a "tested" project.) The lack of this type of housing is one concern many of the community planners bought to our attention, and we believe that, with the large site available--near a wetland area that could include walking trails for public use, the subject area would be a good location for another senior housing project. More specifically, the development should be some type of partially or fully assisted senior housing. Such a facility does not need to front on Highway 10, however. There are no medically related facilities along this portion of the Highway 10 Corridor, with the exception of chiropractor offices, dentists and an orthodontist. In addition, there is only one drug store, Snyders in the Mounds View Square retail center. Especially with the aging community, the need for professional and medical services is great. Another possible use for the larger site within the subject area may be for some type of multi- or single-tenant medical/professional building to serve the needs of the community. In addition, the building would be within close proximity to the new senior housing complex, Silver Pointe (and possibly other new senior- housing projects) and it would have great exposure, visibility and accessibility.
