Re: Senior Housing - A1bertvil1~, Mn
Dear Mr. Hale:
I am in receipt of the Planning Commission Findings of Fact & Recommendation, as they
relate to the Planning Commlssion meeting of April 8, 1997, regarding the above
referenced project. Item 6 of the recommendations refers to the extension of Kalland
Avenue to the boundaries of the development and construction of the road to allow for the
second access into the rental community. This construction is to be completed with the .
first phase of construction.
As you are aware, we are' purchasing the property to be used for Senior Rentals from
Center Oaks Partnership. We also have an Option to Purchase the property lying West of
the Senior Rental parcel and East of the 'proposed Kal1and A venue. At this time, Center
Oaks Partnership is unwilling to extend Kal1and Avenue beyond the point which allows for
the northerly access road to the Senior Housing parcel. The cost to extend Kalland
Avenue would force Center Oaks Partnership to develop the property west ofKalland
Avenue much earlier than anticipated. .
Without control of the property abutting Kalland Avenue we are unable to contro.] the
construction of the road, and considering the position taken by the current land owner,
Center Oaks Partnership, we request that Planriing Commission consid.er deleting Item 6
of its Recommendations as it relates to the Planning Commission Meetmg ofApri18, 1997.
Thank you for your cooperation regarding this matter.
