law and to report back on what options are available to the City.
He also reminded the Council that Mr. Roscoe indicated during the

limit his spot on the rotation list to one firm because he owns

firms already on the List.

service and there would be no problem in retrieving any car that's
been towed away, that they were close to the five mile range
referred to in the City Attorney's report, and closed with the

in proper form for adoption. Discussion followed.

approve Jack Roscoe's application as long as a storage yard was

by distance.

second.

original condition of approval requiring a covenant between the
City and Hugh Codding that this would be a senior project and
asked City Attorney Flitner to advise the Council of what
ramifications it could have to change the project to adults.

with the land enforceable at least by private parties. He stated
that if anybody is to change it, it would have to be removed by
the vote of the City Council.
Planning Director Skanchy explained that Ken ?Martin has submitted
a revised plan involving four stories with stucco exterior and
reviewed staff's concerns regarding parking and changing from
strictly senior citizens to include working adults so staff
recommends a reduction to 230 units from 263 units. He said that
staff felt the project did not provide enough amenities for senior
citizens, and that due to the high density, recommended that some
units for low or moderate income persons be provided.
Discussion Followed.
Ken Martin, applicant for the Senior Citizen Apartment Complex,
was recognized and explained reasons for not submitting the
project as strictly senior citizens versus including working
couples 55 years and older in that it seemed it would be a more
appealing place versus turning into a convalescent type of
situation. He said they agreed with Planning Commission regarding
the parking ratio, the fewer units and providing additional
amenities for seniors. He said these would be 600 sq.ft., one
bedroom units and referred to other such developments that have
succeeded.
Discussion followed during which Council Member Spiro asked about
the rental amounts compared to other units in the neighborhood,
Mayor Cochran suggested this would be a prime opportunity to
straighten out the entrance between this new development and the
Codding Center to which Ken 'Martin agreed, Councilman Eck
M
expressed concerns over changing the plans to only a high density
apartment complex from serving strictly senior citizens with the
security, railings and special walkways to which Ken Martin
responded that the plan is still to have security but have found
it doesn't work to have people guarding all night long and that
they want to make this complex look like a normal living place,
not strictly elderly.
