160: OVERHAUL REPAIRS - POLICE HELICOPTER: Submitted was report dated
November 22, 1985 from the Purchasing Agent recommending that the Council
waive Council Policy No. 306 and authorize the Purchasing Agent to issue a
purchase order without competitive biddin& to Tallmantz Aviation in the amount
of ~23~649.79 for extensive overhaul repairs to the Police Helicopter.
Councilman Bay noted the overhaul was determined to be needed on October 31,
1985 and a new contract was approved with Tallmantz on November, 1985. He
wanted to know who had the maintenance contract prior to November 19. He was
concerned, if the City was paying $370,000 a year for maintenance contract, it
should include major overhauls or any other kind necessary.
A1 Merriam, Fleet Manager, deferred to Sgt. Jerry Foster who was directly
involved with the issue.
Sgt. Foster reported that Tallmantz had the contract for the helicopters ever
since the existence of the program in 1970 and a contract was signed with them
896
171
City Hall~ Anaheim~ California - COUNCIL MINUTES - December 3~ 1985, 10:00 A.M.
in October. The cause of this major overhaul was due to the fact that the
No. 1 bearing on the gear box failed which created damage to the turbine and
compressor and thus three parts were involved.
Councilman Bay wanted to know if there were major overhaul problems that could
occur on the helicopters not covered under the contract; Sgt. Foster answered
no. As long as the parts performed for their complete time life, everything
was covered under the contract.
Councilman Bay could not understand if there was a maintenance and inspection
contract, why the City would have to pay another $23,000 for an overhaul when
it was up to the contractor to take care of that overhaul.
Sgt. Foster stated that was true except for the 690 hours on the helicopter
when it was first purchased.
MOTION: Councilman Pickler moved to waive Council Policy No. 306 and
authorizing the Purchasing Agent to issue a purchase order to Tallmantz
Aviation in the amount of $23,649.79 for extensive overhaul repairs to the
Police Helicopter, as recommended in memorandum dated November 22, 1985 from
the Purchasing Agent. Councilman Overholt seconded the motion. Councilman
Bay voted no. MOTION CARRIED.
175/123: ENGINEERING SERVICES - TWIN PEAKS RESERVOIR: Councilman Roth moved
to authorize the First Amendment to Agreement with Woodside, Kubota &
Associates, Inc, for engineering services on Twin Peaks Reservoir, increasing
the fees by $69,000, as recommended in memorandum dated November 22, 1985 from
the Secretary of the Public Utilities Board. Councilman Pickler seconded the
motion. MOTION CARRIED.
175: URBAN WATER MANAGEMENT PLAN FOR THE CITY OF ANAHEIM: Ray Auerbach,
Water Engineering Manager, answered questions posed by Council Members
relative to certain aspects of the plan.
Councilwoman Kaywood noted there was no mention made of hotels under water
conservation measures. She recalled that several years ago she recommended
that stickers be used on water faucets to remind people to conserve water.
Don Metzger, Customer Services Manager, stated when the matter was discussed
previously, his Department checked into several agencies, several of the
hotels and Hotel Owner's Associations but nobody had a decal. A report was
submitted at that time where decals were used on the showers, those were
provided by the hotel chains and not by water resources or any of the
Municipal suppliers. He would pursue the matter.
Councilwoman Kaywood stated that such decals were used during times of drought
but felt prevention was wiser. Further, if restaurants all agreed not to
serve water unless asked for, they were willing to do so but none wanted to be
the first to do it on their own. A great deal of hot water was also used for
washing glasses that were unused which could be eliminated.
897
172
City Hall, Anaheim~ California - COUNCIL MINUTES - December 3~ 1985~ 10:00 A.M.
Councilman Roth moved to adopt the Urban Water Management Plan for the City of
Anaheim dated October, 1985, as recommended in memorandum dated November 22,
1985 from the Secretary of the Public Utilities Board. Councilman Pickler
seconded the motion. MOTION CARRIED.
108: APPLICATION FOR PUBLIC DANCE PERMIT - ROCK.IN WIZARDS PRODUCTIONS:
Councilman Pickler moved to approve the application for dance permit submitted
by Rockin Wizards Productions, Inc., Carlos Hernandez for a dance to be held
at the Anaheim Convention Center December 31, 1985, 8:00 p.m. to 1:30 a.m., as
recommended by the Chief of Police with the condition that 15 uniformed
officers or security guards to be provided. Councilman Bay seconded the

by Green Eyes Productions, Musa Madain for a dance to be held at the Anaheim
Convention Center December 31, 1985, 8:00 p.m. to 1:00 a.m., as recommended by
the Chief of Police with the condition that 15 uniformed officers or security
guards to be provided. Councilman Bay seconded the motion. MOTION CARRIED.
182/174: REQUEST FOR EVENING PUBLIC HEAR/NG ON THE 1986/87 COMMUNITY
DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT PROGRAM (CDBG): Submitted was report dated
November 27, 1985 from Community Development Department, requesting that an
evening public hearing be scheduled to consider the 1986/87 CDBG Program,
suggested date being Tuesday, January 21, 1986, at 7 p.m.
Norm Priest, Director of Community Development, briefed the schedule and
purpose of hearings previously held by the CDBG Committee prior to the final
funding prioritization being submitted to the Council. He confirmed for
Councilman Overholt that it was, in fact, the CDBG Committee who recommended
an evening hearing and not the Neighborhood Councils as may have been
indicated in the report submitted.
Councilman Bay also asked ~n order to save time during the forthcoming hearing
that the minutes of the Committee hearings include minority views as well to
cut down the need for a lengthy hearing to hear those views. Ne did not feel
there had been enough documented on minority positions that were turned down
in the past.
Mayor Roth noted that Councilman Pickler would not be available on January 21,
1986 and asked that the suggested date be changed to January 28, 1986.
MOTION: Councilman Roth moved to set the date and time for the public hearing
on the 1986/87 Community Development Block Program for Tuesday, January 28,
1986, at 7 p.m.
106: IMAGINATION CELEBRATION: Request for funding forwarded at the request
of Norms Hertzog, Mayor of Costa Mesa, that the City make a donation to the

City Ha11~ Anahetm~ California - COUNCIL HINUTES - December 3~ 1985, 10:00 A.M.
City Clerk Sob1 referred to the request sub~itted under letter dated
Nove~nber 15, 1985 from Elizabeth H. Dungan, Coordinator, Orange County
I~aginatton Celebration, which the Council received. Three Council Members
had thus far indicated their interest in considering the request.
Councilwoman Kaywood moved to appropriate $2,000 to the Imagination
Celebration program whtch would help nurture and sponsor cultural programs
having special value to Orange County. Council~n 0verholt seconded the
motion.
Mayor Roth stated he would prefer to have the matter placed on the Council

It was determined that the matter would be scheduled for consideration at the
next Council meeting, Tuesday, December 10, 1985.

167
City Hall~ Anaheim~ California - COUNCIL MINUTES - December 3~ 1985, 10:00 A.M.
of alternate members to the Youth Commission. This matter was continued from
the meetin~ of November 26, 1985, to this date.
Jack White, City Attorney, explained that after the last discussion at the
meeting of November 26, 1985, the proposed ordinance was amended changing the
procedure for appointment of alternates to the Youth Commission to provide for
appointments on an at-large basis. There would be no individual alternates
for an individual appointed member, but instead alternates would be appointed
and designated to serve on the Commission in a particular order of
appointment. Also, in the absence of one or more regular members on the
Commission, alternates would be allowed to act In such capacity in the order
that they were designated by the Council. It provides that alternates are
encouraged to attend all Youth Commission meetings thereby being available to
take the seats of any members that may not be at any given meeting.
Councilwoman Kaywood offered Ordinance No. 4673 for amended first reading with
the changes as articulated.
ORDINANCE NO. 4673: AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF ANAHEIM ADDING NEW SECTION
1.04.915 TO CHAPTER 1.04 OF TITLE 1 OF THE ANAHEIM MUNICIPAL CODE RRTATING TO
THE YOUTH COMMISSION.
000/101/142: ORDINANCE NO. 4655 - ESTABLISHING AN INTERIM FEE FOR PUBLIC
IMPROVEMENTS IN THE ANAHEIM STADIUM BUSINESS CENTER: Submitted was report
dated December 2, 1985 from the Director of Community Development and
Planning, recommending that the Council introduce an amended first reading of
the proposed ordinance.
Norm Priest, Director of Community Development and Planning, explained that
since the last meeting, staff had been meeting with a number of developers who
again expressed their concerns. Subsequently a minor modification, one phrase
change was being recommended to the proposed ordinance.
Joel Fick, Assistant Director for Planning, explained staff met with several
developers representatives to further discuss and examine unique aspects of
development approvals. The Fee Program was based upon the assumptions that
uses which are permitted primary uses and consistent with the General Plan,
and also uses that already have discretionary approvals by the Commission or
Council~ pay lesser fees. Based upon staff discussions with developers but
remaining consistent with the philosophy of the program, staff was
recommending that a provision be included in the ordinance~ Page 3, Point 1,
that properties that are general planned and zoned CR on the effective date of
the ordinance also contain provisions for paying reduced fees. The reduced
fee of ~1.05 per square foot, which is a reduction from ~2.10, would apply to
buildings that are constructed for permitted primary uses in the CR zone and
general plan CR that have approved site plans.
Relative to the issue of the Assessment District formation in conditions on
pending projects, staff was in the process of preparing a draft resolution for
Council consideration that should be available next week that addresses
conditions imposed with development approvals that are associated with
901
168
City Hall~ Anaheim~ California - COUNCIL MINUTES - December 3, 1985~ 10:00 A.M.
potential future Assessment Districts. The resolution would clarify that it
is the City's intention to use its best efforts to credit developers
participating in the Interim Fee Program against any such future programs
which may be formed.
PUBLIC INPUT:
Douglas R. Ring, Law Offices Howard, Mund, Chizever and Ring,
representing Stadium Business Park South, owners of a 17.5 acre
site at the southwest corner of State College and Pacifico.
(See Mr. Ring's letter of December 2, 1985 received and
submitted to the Council prior to the meeting outlining the
concerns of Stadium Business Park South relative to the proposed
interim fee ordinance). In his presentation, Mr. Ring
emphasized the concern that the interim fee not only establishes
a 3-tiered fee schedule, but also that it placed his clients at
a material competitive disadvantage with other developers in the
area. He urged that the Council take one of two actions today -
either postpone a second reading of the ordinance in order to
make a more complete study of those developers who are "in the
pipeline" or direct staff to accept those other projects under
the first or second tier of the system who are, in fact, already
in that pipeline. He was convinced as a matter of law that the
ordinance is discriminatory but as a matter of morality, the
ordinance was unfair. He reiterated that by having the City
grant their competitors a ~2 to ~3 a square foot cheaper
development cost, his client would be at a competitive
disadvantage with effectively the same product in the market
place.
Jack White, City Attorney.
The effort the Council had before it represents the staffs and
his office's best effort to establish a system that while there
always may be instances where persons affected by the
structuring feel it is unfair to them because they fall over the
edge from one fee to another, there is sufficient basis in fact
for distinguishing between properties on the bases set forth in
the ordinance to make it legally defensible.
Floyd Farano, Attorney, representing Dunn Properties, owners of
property at the northwest corner of State College Blvd. and
Orangewood Avenue.
He reiterated the two major concerns articulated at the previous
meeting (see minutes of November 26, 1985) i.e., (1) Methods of
Payment, that those paying the $1.05 or ~2.10 fee pay the fee at
the same time as those levied with a $4.12 fee, or at the time
of issuance of occupancy rather than the time when building
permits are pulled. (2) That the fee increase be keyed to the
Consumer Price Index instead of an increase of 12 percent per
year. He again suggested that the Council amend the ordinance
accordingly.
902
City Hall~ Anaheim~ California - COUNCIL MINUTES - December 3~ 1985~ 10:00 A.M.
Jack White, City Attorney.
Confirmed for Councilman Bay that the 12 percent only pertains
to those paying the ~4.12 fee, or because the others (~1.05 and
$2.10) would pay at the time the building permit was issued.
Dennis Abramson, Hanover Real Estate.
Reiterated concerns expressed at the meeting of November 26,
1985 (see minutes that date). He recounted in detail the
chronological history of Hanover's dealings with the City since
they purchased their property in 1981 which indicated that they
had dealt long and hard with their planning and processes and
were almost complete. He had difficulty in being informed as
late as this morning that there will be no consideration given
them. He emphasized they had no problem with the $2.00 square
foot fee. They had been part of the planning process and
voluntarily offered to subscribe to the Anaheim Stadium Study.
He did not believe, with all the documented evidence of their
square footage having been calculated into the numbers, that
Hanover Real Estate should be dealt with as any new purchaser
buying property and coming to the area. They have been paying
taxes to the City of Anaheim for the past four years. He urged
that the Council postpone or create some caveat in the proposed
ordinance allowing them to continue to determine their
particular fee which should not be ~4.00 or $1.00, but somewhere
in between.
Mr. Richard Aker, Staff of the County of Orange.
He referred to letter dated November, 1985 from R. A. Scott,
Director, General Services A~ency, County of Orange, Real Estate
Division, representing the County as a landowner of 7.7 acres on
the northwest corner of Douglass Road and Katella Avenue
(previously made a part of the record). Their interest was not
to object in any way to the establishment of a fee. However,
they saw in the Stadium area the probability that there is a
marked difference of the benefit enjoyed by different areas as a
result of the proposed improvements. The County is requesting
that the City look at that issue and analyze how the benefits
are distributed over the entire Stadium area and in setting the
final fee that that issue be addressed and the degree of
benefits and fees be in proportion to the benefits received by
those areas.
Councilman Overholt.
He questioned the new concept raised by Mr. Aker - the final
fee, and asked for staff response.
Joel Fick, Assistant Director for Planning.
The program indicates the next step following the interim fee is
to proceed with the General Plan Amendment which is the action
that will set forth the policy or establish the area to be
involved. With that information staff will be concurrently
9O3
166
City Hall, Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - December 3~ 1985, 10:00 A.M.
proceeding with the possibility of establishing a redevelopment
project area and different funding sources.
Jack White, City Attorney.
Clarified that the proposed ordinance is an interim fee
ordinance meaning that it is contemplated at some point in time,
staff will be back noting exactly what the area of involvement
is as well as the infrastructure needs with a funding plan. The
fees and the three categories established by the ordinance
relate only to the interim fees that would be charged prior to
the time of submitting a permanent financing solution.
Properties in the category paying 54.00 per square foot and
those at $2.00 or $1.00 a square foot under any type of
long-range plan which he could conceive under the law would be
placed in parity meaning that, to the extent the City was
legally able to do so, those properties that have paid fees
under the interim ordinance would be credited that final
financing arrangement with whatever they have paid in. The long
range solution, if it involved an Assessment or Benefit
District, the assessment at that point in time would be split
according to the benefit of the properties involved and backed
out of that would be the amounts paid by those properties under
the interim fee ordinance. At a given point, all properties
would be in parity under that financing mechanism. If there was
an Assessment District to be established, that would be the
subject of extensive public hearings. He emphasized the only
consideration today is an interim arrangement and not a
long-range solution.
Norm Priest, Director of Community Development and Planning.
Staff believed the interim fee had been pegged very close to
what the final fee would be, and the interim fee may well be the
final fee. In talking about parity, the tiered system was an
effort to reflect the fact that there is already a substantial
risk taken by certain developers and staff has sought the best
way they knew how to identify that vs. other developers. In
terms of an interim vs. a final fee, it has been the thinking to
date that staff will have to look at what the final costs will
be but they have thus far looked at it carefully enough so that
he did not perceive that another major fee would be imposed upon
the developers in that area.
Joel Fick, Assistant Director for Planning.
An additional item discussed which is important to the parity
issue and the technical aspects of the program is that the fee
that was calculated with the reduced fee assists the people who
have projects in process because they are allowed to be approved
based upon their general plan status. An important factor,
however, is that the level of improvements identified in the
Stadium area to accommodate those developers are in the 52.00
904
i63
City Hall~ Anaheim~ California - COUNCIL MINUTES - December 3~ 1985, 10:00 A.M.
range. The range being charged and proposed within that reduced
fee is also consistent with the level of improvements identified
in the Stadium Area Study.
Councilman Overholt.
Whatever is done at this time is going to be final with respect
to those developers who get a break and he was not sure that was
fully comprehended. The decision is one of the most important
economic decisions the Council will have made during the time he
has been a Council Member and it could either encourage or
discourage development in the Stadium area. As did the Mayor,
he encouraged that there be more negotiation this week.
Councilman Bay.
He saw a problem no matter what was done relative to the
competition at the edge of any of the subject triangle out of
the City of Anaheim and urged immediate studies on the
possibility of redevelopment and tax increment in that area
because without it, the City was not going to be competitive
with its next door neighbor, the City of Orange, if Orange went
that route.
Norm Priest, Director of Community Development and Planning.
Staff intended to explore that area to its fullest. He pointed
out that even with redevelopment, the City of Orange currently
imposes a development fee of something slightly under $2.00 a
square foot in that particular area. He believed at this point
in time the property in Orange was under study but not yet
adopted as a redevelopment project.
Councilman Pickler offered Ordinance No. 4655 for an amended first reading
with the change as articulated by staff.
ORDINANCE NO. 4655: AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF AN~HEIMADDING CHAPTER 17.30
TO TITLE 17 OF THE ANAHEIM MUNICIPAL CODE ESTABLISHING AN INTERIM FEE FOR
PUBLIC IMPROVEMENTS IN THE ANAHEIM STADIUM BUSINESS CENTER.
179/142: ORDINANCE NO. 4672 - COMPLIANCE WITH RECENTLY ADOPTED STANDARDS FOR
SALE OF BEER AND WINE BY GASOLINE SERVICE STATIONS: Submitted was report
dated December 2, 1985 from the City Attorney giving the status of compliance
of the 10 existing businesses in the City combining the sale of gasoline and
off-sale alcohol.
Jack White, City Attorney stated he submitted a revised ordinance requested at
the Council meeting of November 26, 1985 for consideration today. The
proposed ordinance was to make applicable the standards that were adopted by
the Council on October 22, 1985 relating to the sale of beer and wine at
gasoline stations to all existing businesses within the City. Of the 10 such
businesses already existing pursuant to conditional use permits, two of those
businesses had enclosed retail sales areas of less than the minimum 1200
square feet that would be required. The revised ordinance as prepared would
have the effect of providing that the retail sales area square footage
9O5
164
City Hall~ Anaheim~ California - COUNCIL MINUTES - December 3~ !985~ 10:00 A.M.
requirement of 1200 square feet would not apply to these existing businesses.
Thereby it would not be necessary for the two businesses that have substandard
square footage to either conform or request a variance from the Planning
Commission or City Council. First reading was given last week to the
alternate form of the ordinance which would require all businesses to conform
to the 1200 square feet and today the council had the revised version and thus
could either adopt the original or give an amended first reading to the
revised ordinance as proposed today attached to his December 2, 1985 report.
Councilwoman Kaywood asked (1) if those two businesses wanted to expand or do
anything else, would they then be required to have the minimum square footage
and (2) if the five existing businesses currently not restricted to only beer
and wine would be required to sell only beer and wine.
Mr. White answered no to the first question. However, the business would have
to come back to the granting body for a revision to the conditions under which
they were now operating, one of which being that they conform to the plans and
specifications on file. If they were changing the plans, they would have to
come and get approval of the Planning Commission or City Council but would not
be required as a matter of law to expand to 1200 square feet. The Planning
Commission or Council could, as a condition of approving whatever changes were
requesting, impose that as a requirement. Regarding the five businesses
currently not restricted to only beer and wine, under either version of the
ordinance, the language would require that all five conform by restricting
sales to beer and wine only as of the abatement date of June of 1986.
Councilman Roth offered Ordinance No. 4672 for an amended first reading
providing among the other conditions contained therein that the retail sales
area square footage requirement of 1200 square feet does not apply to existing
businesses.
ORDINANCE NO. 4672: AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF ANAHEIM AMENDING SUBSECTION

105: VACANCIES ON VARIOUS BOARDS AND COMMISSIONS: Councilwoman Kaywood
referred to a letter from Doug Rennet, Chairman of the Mother Colony House
Advisory Board, reminding the Council of the two vacancies on that Board and
that the Board would like those positions filled to the former 7 members. She
asked that those vacancies be scheduled for the first meeting in January.
City Clerk Sohl reported as the Council was aware, there were a number of
appointments presently being advertised for various Boards and Commissions to
fill unscheduled vacancies that had occurred, asking for letters of
906
161
City Hall~ Anaheim~ California - COUNCIL MINUTES - December 3, 1985, 10:00 A.M.
application up until December 16, 1985. The vacancies on the Mother Colony
House Advisory Board had also been advertised.
It was determined that appointments to fill the subject vacancies would be
considered at the Council meeting of January 7, 1986; later in the meeting
(2:32 p.m) City Clerk Sohl reported that the January 7, 1986 meeting would be
the first in 3 weeks due to the intervening holidays which would undoubtedly
result in a heavy agenda.
It was then determined by general Council consent that the subject
appointments would scheduled for the Council meeting of January 14, 1986.
126: SKYFEST - DECEMBER 5~ 1985: Mayor Roth again urged participation in the
SKYFEST Project to take place Thursday, December 5, 1985. The event would be
the culmination of a 12-month 30th Anniversary celebration for Disneyland. It
was not only a fitting tribute to Disneyland, but also December 5, 1985 would
have been the 84th Birthday of its Founder, Walt Disney. Amongst other
things, the scheduled release of one million plus balloons would more than
surpass the current Guinness Book of Records for a balloon release. It would
be a great day and event for the City of Anaheim.
REQUEST FOR CLOSED SESSION: Mayor Roth announced that a Closed Session would
be held to confer with the City's Attorney regarding:
a. To confer with its attorney regarding pending litigation pursuant
to Government Code Section 54956.9(a), to wit: Golden West Baseball
Company, O.C. Superior Court Case No. 40 92 46.
b. To consider such other matters as are orally announced by the
City Attorney or City Manager prior Go such recess unless such motion
to recess indicates any of such matters will not be considered in
closed session.
Councilman Roth moved to recess into Closed Session and a lunch break.
Councilman Pickler seconded the motion. MOTION CARRIED. (12:20 p.m.)
AFTER RECESS: The Mayor called the meeting to order, all Council Members
being present. (2:15 p.m)

Norm Priest, Director of Community Development/Planning.
Explained this is the "TEFRA" hearing for the Council to
indicate their willingness to issue the subject bonds and for
considering the public purpose for which the bonds are to be
issued, in this case, affordable housing. Authorization of the
bonds would be scheduled for the Council meeting December 17,
1985 if acted upon favorably today.
COUNCIL CONCERNS:
Councilman Bay.
After reading what is going on in Washington D. C. relative to
cutting tax deferments from bonds, he wanted to be assured that
on this issue and the next two following public hearings that
there be some caveats built into the bonding agreements so that
if the tax laws are changed, the City is not faced with a
liability on the difference in what are now non-taxable bonds
suddenly becoming taxable.

Norm Priest, Director of Community Development/Planning.
The developer had provided a Letter of Credit to support the
bond issue to further eliminate the possibility that there could
be the liability referred to by Councilman Bay in the foregoing
hearing. This item and the next would be counted against the
Industrial Development Bond Allocation since they are not
complete residential units. It had no great bearing, however,
because at the end of the month the Allocation would be running
out in any case. Staff did seek on two occasions to meet with
the Industrial Development Board but they were unable to obtain
a quorum to discuss the issue.
COUNCIL CONCERNS:
Councilman Bay.
He wanted to know if any Certificates of Participation had yet
been issued in the way now proposed. If this is the first and
ownership is involved, he assumed that the Council had to decide
whether the ownership was going straight to the City, to the
Housing Authority, or was it going to be to the Anaheim
Improvement Corporation. He questioned who the middle party was
who would take on the ownership.
Norm Priest, Director of Community Development/Planning.
Explained this was the first time Certificates of Participation
were proposed to be used in this way. Bond Counsel would be
present on December 17, 1985 to answer the specific questions
posed. In terms of the Anaheim Improvement Corporation, that
Corporation was primarily aimed at public improvements.
Normally the trustee has not been the Anaheim Improvement
Corporation otherwise, and this issue was not a typical public
improvement.
Councilman Bay.
He did not want to see a precedent set on Certificates of
Participation, to which he was opposed, coming to direct
ownership of the Authority, Agency or City. He assumed there
would be written into the contracts on those Certificates that
on business failure or payment default there would be no
liability to the City.

The subject housing has been needed in Anaheim for a
considerable prior of time. It is an important intermediate
step between a convalescent home and the senior citizen
apartment.
COUNCIL CONCERNS:
Councilwoman Kaywood.
The size of the units is 325 square feet with two beds. The
project contains 100 units and the age is indicated 55 for one
person. Where a project is under 150 units, the age should be
62.
Norm Priest, Director of Community Development/Planning.
The basic philosophy of this type of development is to provide
only a sleeping and sitting area. There will be common dining
and recreational facilities. The unit is designed for the
person who is no longer able to care for his unit. Maid service
is provided as with a hotel. The age limit is 62 years of age
and older.
