Attend this meeting to see the plans. This is a small area for 23 apartments, cars, and a bit of green space. It depends all on design and so forth. There is no rush to judgement on this plan. The location abuts Large 2 Story Apartments and faces the freeway. From what we know now this is a good idea to provide affordable housing for non seniors in GT.It would be nice to know what the rents would be. What operational controls would be upon the residents? Will the owners provide site security? Laundry? Utilities?
Will the sewage line cross the canal or tap into the apartment's line? Will the construction incorporate Solar PV cells or roof shingles to offset the power costs for the residents and grid demand. Will the apartments have low flow toilets, and all units designed for ADA tenants? What restriction on number of people per apartment? When and if RDA funds or assistance is used it is appropriate to ask these questions. How many fees will be waived by the City Council and at what cost? Will there be ramps from 3 floor to ground to evacuate the people in the event of fire? What kind of construction materials will be used? Will there be an exclusion that prohibits people over the age of 62 from moving in these apartments?
If these questions are all answered well then the apartments are welcome in GT.
