The second appeal, filed by Lance Salisbury, President of the Oak Tree Townhomes Owner’s Association, contains a list of conditions that the association wishes placed on the new project. The association requested the construction of an 8-foot fence between the Oak Tree Townhomes and the new facility, the installation of speed bumps on the driveway to Oak Manor, and time restrictions on deliveries and construction hours, as well as other conditions. The owner’s association does not wish to stop the new project, and says in their appeal that their “intent is to make the project less intrusive and fit in with the quiet neighborhood that we hold dear to us.” After hearing Browder’s concerns at the meeting, Regan proposed to “postpone this (to) give us some direction,” and said he would meet with Browder to discuss his concerns. Browder said he “would be more than happy to speak with him.” The city council was in agreement and directed the parties to return to the council once they had worked out their issues.

The Jackson City Council
conducted a public hearing Monday
night to hear the appeal of an approved conditional use permit to construct a
new senior facility at 135 Agate
Place. Ron
Regan, the applicant, requested the permit to construct the new facility
adjacent to the existing Oak
Manor Senior
Center off New York Ranch Road.
The proposed facility would include 14 residential units for congregate care of
the elderly, and would have a covered walkway between the proposed structure
and the existing facility, which could be used by both residents and staff. The
project was reviewed and approved by the Jackson Planning Commission in August
of last year. Subsequently, two appeals
were submitted. The first, from Gerald
Browder, a resident of Placer
Drive, which is near Agate Place, cited several impacts,
including light and noise pollution, inconsistent land uses, parking problems,
and the increased impact on public services.
