Mr. Leichtling, Mayne, and Atty. Bynum presenting.
Testifying in opposition:
Angeline Bradford, apartment resident, testified. She has lived at 7300 W. Dean Rd.
since 2014. There has been previous neglect of the facility by previous owners.
Facility remains in much disrepair and has maintenance issues, delay. She requests
to delay the zoning change decision until current issues are addressed for current
residents. Communication and notification from the new ownership regarding the new
changes have been lacking or inadequate to her opinion.
Beverly Wilson, apartment resident, testified. The facility and services were adequate
when she first lived there under a nonprofit. The property was sold 6 years ago and
issues have stemmed since then with amenities and service reductions and residents
being were ignored. Many town hall meetings and communication to inform residents
of the changes by the new ownership were inadequate, in her opinion. Negative
impacts would come from opening up the facility to other demographics such as loud
noise and youths causing problems. She has felt that current facility issues were not
being addressed. Issues included the front desk not being staffed to monitor and
direct patrons, the front door being locked not letting people in, residents not receiving
their packages, lack of planning to protect current residents, no plans to feed
residents, lack of adequate assisted living service with a recent one discontinuing their
operations, and those residents being told to moved within 30 days, and residents
being told to move if they did not like living there. She and other residents have tried
to work with new ownership to move seniors and assisted living residents into their own
section but the new units are studios only and others potential having no other units to
move to.
John Wallace, apartment resident, testified. He has been in the north building for 14
years. There is the overall feeling that residents/seniors were not being cared for.
Opening the facility to families and younger people would exacerbate issues. Other
people while at the facility were already not showing respect to the residents and
seniors there such as other people blowing smoke to his face, as an example.
Residents don't feel respected by staff. He liked and helped installed a workshop and
garden there in the past, but those portions have been neglected. He and other
residents mistrust the new ownership.
Vice-chair Nemec moved conditional approval, seconded by member Sas-Perez.
