10 <br /> 204 neighborhood of single-family houses, and we couldn't get permission until we absolutely <br /> 205 satisfied the State on the time periods. <br /> 206 <br /> 207 Beth Bronson: Understandable. So,just to be clear that the three-story buildings that have a care facility <br /> 208 in them, those will have the sprinkler systems, or the community center would have them, <br /> 209 but then all of the 150 homes that are proposed would not, and they would be specifically <br /> 210 reliant on the emergency services that were available in that district? In Bingham? <br /> 211 <br /> 212 Scott Radway: The three-story buildings for multifamily would have sprinklers. The other 90 dwellings <br /> 213 that we've proposed are single family houses sort of side-by-side, attached single family, <br /> 214 and then three together townhouse or triplex, realtor language differs from regulatory <br /> 215 language, but those can be sprinklered. They don't have to be sprinklered by building <br /> 216 code, and being the location that's pretty accessible, so we have some time response <br /> 217 things, so I think working advantage of this location. <br /> 218 <br /> 219 Beth Bronson: I did drive by there today and did a time trip from the intersection at Morrow Mill and 54 <br /> 220 down to the hospital, the emergency department basically, and it was 15 minutes. It was <br /> 221 interesting to see because I grew up in that area, and so I know kind of how far out of <br /> 222 town it is, but you forget how close and yet how far away as well. <br /> 223 <br /> 224 Scott Radway: I did that trip 2 weeks ago myself. <br /> 225 <br /> 226 Beth Bronson: Oh my. I hope there were no potholes. <br /> 227 <br /> 228 Scott Radway: Thank you for your questions. <br /> 229 <br /> 230 Adam Beeman: For expediency, I'm just going to go right to the public comments unless anybody else has <br /> 231 any other questions. <br /> 232 <br /> 233 Beth Bronson: If I had a comment that was pending, I do not have it anymore. <br /> 234 <br /> 235 Adam Beeman: Anybody else on the board have any follow-ups? <br /> 236 <br /> 237 Statler Gilfillen: I just would like a clarification of the first gentleman that spoke. You made the comment <br /> 238 that it is declared that it would be for people over 55. Is that meant that you are declaring <br /> 239 it as a legal issue to include in the final documents so that that is binding? Declared <br /> 240 doesn't tell me. Is it legally binding? That's all. <br /> 241 <br /> 242 Scott Radway: That's a great question and it pushes us into the weeds on some issues. If you're an age <br /> 243 55, there's three types of descriptions you can say that HUD finds, or the federal register <br /> 244 has found in its definitions to be acceptable for this community. One is it's senior housing, <br /> 245 one is a retirement community, or one is its age 55 plus and you have to advertise and go <br /> 246 through a whole bunch of legal steps, and if you don't advertise correctly of what you are <br /> 247 and other things, you're subject to a number of penalties. You can, we can, an applicant <br /> 248 can, but somebody will declare that they are an age-restricted, age 55-plus community <br /> 249 and then there's, we talked a little bit about it last month, there is the split between how <br /> 250 many households have to be occupied by people that are 55 and older and how many <br /> 251 could be occupied that are 54 and younger, and as a community or as an entity you can <br /> 252 choose. The minimum you can do is you have to be at least 80 percent senior housing <br /> 253 occupied by 55 and older. The mechanisms for enforcement of that are some are civil, <br />
