� Don Jacobsen, representing Bor-Son Investr�ent Properties ac�dressed the
Council. Ne stated several neiqhborhood meetings had been held to explain
the revised plan,.and at a recent meetinq only six people attencied. He
said it is Bor-Son's'feelinq there is a real need for this ty�e of housing
for older citizens. At an�ther time, 300 notices were sent�ot�t and �niy
three .people attended, at which time he said he spent an hour discussing
the �lan. He. called upon the architect for.the project who showed a
scher�a�ic of the proposed development. Refe�rring to complaints of the
. additional traf.fic the project�.would generate, the develo�ers believe that
restrictin� it as a senior citizPn project will qenerate less traffic.
