landscaping to buffer the Weslayan Home. Jay Kuhne described the proposed
development.
Mayor Wood called upon citizens who had registered to speak before Council on
this item.
Bill Connor of 707 San Gabriel Overlook, spoke to Council as a Member of the
Board of Trustees of the Weslayan Retirement Home. He expressed pleasure with
the concept, but was concerned with the landscaping that had been proposed by
the developer. He requested a commitment from Jay Kuhne regarding the planned
landscaping buffer.
Patrick Pheifer, Administrator of the Weslayan Home, also spoke to Council and
requested more buffer between the new development and the existing nursing
home.
Kuhne explained that the landscaping plans are preliminary at this point because
the project plans have not been drawn yet. He stated that he has no problem
complying with the Weslayan's request to buffer the parking lot with landscaping.

Voltz asked that the landscaping comply with the requirements for Buffer Yard
Type E as would be required according to the zoning that is currently in place for
the property.
Banks told Council there is a provision in the zoning ordinance which allows any
special requirements to be attached to the zoning designation. Voltz asked that
an attachment be placed to say that the 50 -foot strip would be treated as a Buffer
Yard Type E.
Curl asked Hart to consider, while revising the Subdivision Regulations, to
consider requiring that special buffer zones be included on the detailed
development plans for any future nursing homes.
