Answer: (Applicant) It will provide senior care, assisted
living, and memory care.
11. Question: (Resident) I am the 5th house north on
Strasburg Drive. How tall is the building right east
of me?
Answer: (Applicant) The west end of our building,
approximately 130' east of your house, is the

our evaluation you will lose a view of the west edge
of Benson Lake.
12. Comment: (Resident) I was always told that this would be
a 2-story building, maximum.
Response: (Applicant) I do not know where you got your
information. We have always proposed at least a 3-
story building.
13. Question: (Resident) The line of sight to the east is my
biggest concern. Where will HVAC units, and stuff
like that, be located on this building?

plan?

and guests will be in our courtyards contained
somewhat within our building area.
