HomeMy WebLinkAbout09.23.2020 T. Marrow CommentsDear Hon. Mayor Rosenberg and Honorable Members of the Board of Trustees,
I wanted to thank the Village Board for their scrutiny of the 900 King Street
proposal. I also appreciate the Village Board’s review and consideration of
community concerns and comments.
After watching the latest Planning Board meeting, I have a question that pertains to
a previous concern regarding the 900 King Street proposal. In the Atria’s executive
summary submitted for the changes requested at the Planning Board meeting on
9/10/2020, Atria stated that they intend to transition their 166 units from
independent senior living to assisted senior living with memory care. I was curious
about the reason for this change, especially since the 900 King Applicant is
proposing 136 new independent senior living units as part of their development.
The Applicant for 900 King Street references a 2017 Marketing Analysis in their
proposal. In addition to the significant number of new proposals for senior
housing, in the target market area since 2017, what other market changes have
occurred in the last three years that may deserve additional consideration. The size
and scope of this project remain a concern, not just in terms of impacts and
community character, but in advancing a concept that will be successful and
provide a benefit to the community.
Respectfully submitted,
Toby Marrow
