1/17/84 Page -3- Yet the requests amounted to approximately 50 t.o 60 million dollars. Therefore, the criteria and competition is very stiff. If council wished him to proceed with the application he would do so. The Mayor must be authorized to sign the application and it must be in by the first of February. If council does not wish to do so, we will not submit the application. Part of the applica- tion requirement was that you have to pro- vidE~ an opportunity for public imput or citizen participation through a public noti- fication and this was done through the Louisville Times last week., David Vawter, 754 W. Aspen Way Started that he had 3 questions he wished addressed. Commented that today he went to Mr. Rupp's office and talked with his sec:retary and she told him that the proposed site, which is 5 acres, they were planning on ~usina only 2Z acres for the project for the elderly. The other 2Z acres to be used by the Fire Department, eventually when we do :need that on that end of the Citv. The second question - once the City is given the money can HUD come back to you and request that you only use that money for low income housing and not specifically for elderly? The third question - this parcel of land that is being considered has very poor access to what the elderly are Going to need, i.e, to be able to walk to convenient sopping, to a Medical Center. It is quite a distance from that and even under the new proposed Hom~art plan, those facilities are not close to this project either. These are some things that he felt the City Council should address when they look at this application. A1~>o, it was his understanding that HUD had been accepting applications since November 23,, 1983 and he wanted to know why we are waiting so long to present the application when the due date is February first. Mayor Meier continued the public hearing and as}ced if there were any more public comments four or against the application. None. Any public questions. None Mayor Meier requested that Mr. Rupp address Mr. Vawter's Questions.
