Mr. Gene Stephens, Vice President of Rembrandt presented the detailed plans for the landscaping and construction as well as a rent schedule for the two-building, 154 unit retirement artment complex to be called Heritage Manor. A down residents of Penrod Lane, Macalaster *ive and Shamrock Drive attended the hearing and made comments objecting to or approving the project. They also had questis on the height of the buildings and the berm to be placed behind the buildings, financing of the project, the construction time schedule, eligibility requirements for potential residents and the type of lighting planned for the grounds. Mr. Carlson replied to a question regarding the North End Study by stating that the study had suggested the building of duplexes on the south side of the property involved with one- story commercial buildings proposed for the north side. Several of the residents present expressed the sentiments that these apartments were possibly the best use that could realisti- cally be expected to be made of the 6 lots involved. Concern for the future development of lots adjoining the property in question were not considered pertinent to the proposal before the Board although Mr. Stephens stated his company could possibly consider it for future expansion of the project.
