**** Update 8/28/2018*******

There was a community meeting held on 8/27 that contained many members of our community along with the builders. Many great questions were asked and a lot of answers given.

Here is a highlight of the concerns mentioned:

• 4 story building for any part of the development is strongly opposed. Recommendation for 2 story instead.
• Parking will likely not be large enough to handle the residence of the senior living center + mental rehabilitation facility + faculty
• The project is currently in a proposal phase, meaning:
  • They do not own the property
  • They will buy only once they get approval from town council
• The builder does not plan on buying both parcel’s of land, they are only considering the purchase of the land adjacent to Via De Palmas and Ellsworth
• Concerns over the entrance of the building facing Via De Palmas - This will likely make the natural flow of traffic come in through Via De Palmas. Builder is hesitant that they will be able to move the entrance to the other side of the building due to uncontrollable factors.
• Community showed strong concern over the traffic on Ellsworth Road, stating it is already congested especially during school / work hours. Making the turn to get into the far lane to turn on Chandler Heights Rd difficult at best.
• Note: The front building is an 55+ apartment building near Ellsworth (not assisted living), meaning only 1 person of the household needs to be over 55. The apartments will have 1 -2 bedrooms.
• Next steps:
  • The builder will take all the concerns back and re-propose.
  • Additional traffic study will be performed.
  • The community will have another chance to meeting with the builders to review new proposal.
  • No ETA provided for either step.
