Ms. Mary Ogle, President of The New Leaf Community, requested a brief presentation.
Ms. Ogle stated that The New Leaf Community provides adults to work and live
independent lives. There will be approximately 25 - 30 administrative employees. Most of
the residents work outside of the community during the day. Some may live there, but
most will come in during the day only in order to help with the horticultural chores.
The Chairperson opened the floor for the public to speak.
Mr. Michael Stacy -14417 E 944h St N - He had density concerns and gated community
concerns. He noted that the dorms had been reclassed as community homes. He
stated that the city is losing out on the tax base with the loss of single family homes on the
subject property. He also wanted to know what "enhanced screening" means. He
explained that screening with berms was his preference. Mr. Stacy stated that it looks like
a care and provider facility, AG zoning is not a typical type of zoning use for that type of
facility.
Ms. Ogle explained that The New Leaf is not an institution. They are people that need
support with various tasks and it's their home. There is 24 hour care if the clients need
any type of assistance.
Mr. Miller also stated that it is not an institution. He had a relative that was involved with
The New Leaf Community and it was amazing for her. There should not be any concerns
with this
facility.
The Chairperson closed the public hearing at 6:50 pm.
Mr. Stephenson explained how a planned unit development works. He explained how
this project is a lower density than could actually go there. Mr. Stephenson commended
Wallace Engineering and Selser Schaefer Architects for their excellent work on the
project.
