-2- • , Mr. Doug Jones of 2505 Silver :_are asked zhe following questions: "If someone in St. Anthony sold their home for $25430;000 would they be qualified to rent • one of these units? What additional cos*s would the Village incur as a result of this project, i.e, fire equipment, e--.;c. ?" Woodington: The first fill-up of the building, anyone would qualify (over 62 years of age). After that preference must go to thooe who fall within the lower income area. Mr. Roger Tobias of 3127. 3;th Avenue presented the Planning Board with a petition in regard to this proposal. 57 households were represented. The petition was in objection to this proposal. Mr. Tobias read the petition which enumerated the ordinances which would require variances if this were to be built on a MD basis. Mr. Bratiand pointed out the project -would not be built on a MD basis, but on a ;.U,P, therefore, those ordinances would not necessarily require variances. Woodington: Every comm:tnity we (Rembrandt) go into, we have had to apply for either a new ordinance, variances of those ordinances or C.U.P. because communities have not provided, until this time, for housing for elderly. For general Information: The units proposed are substantially larger than the size recom-aended by HUD. Heritage is a limited dividen sponsor cannot earn over 6% on our cash investment, if we dr,, we muaz turn thai-, money ovor to HUD. Mr. Myron Budynski of 3913' renro:A' asked the total green space on the two plans. Plan A. five story building on fcur lots would provide 45,320 sq. ft. green • space, ana Plan B would p:ovi.de 52,015 sq. fz. green space. Mr. Dudynski stated "I don't see how a five scoiy building could fit well into a l; story neighborhood. What would happen to the value of the homes presently in that, neighborhood?" Woodington: It is mJ feeling that there will be no diminishing value on those homes. Mr. Dudynski presented the Planning Board with a clipping from the December 14th Star & Tribune which stated that New Brighton had turned down a proposal by Rembrandt for housing for elderly with 96 units on 2? acres due to lack of sufficient Free.. He pointed out that they were requesting more than 96 units in St. Anthony on a comparable piece of acreage. Woodington: Heri•cage had other problems in New Brighton which were not stated in the article. `-Te wanted tc locate next to a gravel pit which we wanted to purchase from New Brighton, the village would not sell, and HUD would not allow us to buy next to a gravel pit. The density was mucky larger than stated, there were more than 96 units. Mr. Dudynski (directing auestion to Bratland) "There are several items stated in the C.U.P. ordinance which must present before P C.U.P. may be granted, am I correct?" Bratland: Ycs l
