• them from any other people. They share a love for life and their fellow human beings with all of us. Attorney Steve Henderson, 817 Beachland Boulevard, representing Gen Development, developer of The Preserve, asked that the focus be on land use and not on charitable issues. His client has no bias against handicapped persons but is protesting land use issues. Special exception issues are designed to protect compatibility with surrounding developments, especially adjoining single-family subdivisions. His client is opposed to the design of the project. The entryway to The Preserve is located directly across from this one. The main concern is the facility located on the north side of the project. The applicant owns adjacent acreage between the west boundary of this project and 27th Avenue which is not included in this project. His client believes if the adult care facility could be located on this property it could eliminate any incompatibility. His client has no problem with the single- family residences, only with the 10,000 square foot adult care facility which will be used for offsite clients as well as residents. This will create an impact on traffic that could be eliminated if the facility were located on 27" instead of 5`" 5th Street deadends and is not a through street, but more of a residential street. His client is requesting that the adult care facility be located on 27th Street and that the northern buffer be enhanced to ensure obscuring visibility. His client is also requesting controls on any signage and a condition that issuance of the Certificate of Occupancy be restricted until a certain number of single- family residences are constructed to ensure that the adult care facility is not built without the single-family units. Director Boling commented that a sign permit will be required. MARCH 12, 2002 -61- , •
