Session 1718, Minutes March 30, 1998 to expand. Mr. Barron proceeded in his presentation to point out particulars of the conditions of the development and how they would help obscure and buffer the new expansion from the surrounding neighborhoods, as well as the tax benefits to the City. Mr. Barron presented a petition of supporters of the Gatesworth expansion. Mr. Fred Rogerson, 8681 W. Kingsbury, wished to voice his support for the Gatesworth. They purchased his home at 8649 W. Kingsbury and gave him a larger house up the street. He believes they have been good neighbors and does not have a problem with this expansion. Ms. Sandy Vineyard, 8653 W. Kingsbury, wished to voice her support for the Gatesworth expansion. They purchased her house and treated them more than fairly. In the past, she had a serious problem with the Gatesworth. They were more than compassionate and took care of the problem. They have been good neighbors. Ms. Gigi Reiling, 8651 Barby Ln., wished to voice her opposition to the Gatesworth expansion. She had concerns about the construction traffic and parking that will overflow onto Barby Ln. She felt that the Gatesworth should be required to have on site emergency vehicles as there has been increased emergency vehicle traffic in the area. The area is very difficult to get to. Mr. Stephen Leonard, 7233 Balson, wished to voice his support for the Gatesworth. He and family has lived here thirteen years and his children attend the University City public schools. The 1986 Comprehensive Plan allowed for this type of expansion. The seniors are an ever expanding population base and deserve top quality care. The taxes are very important to the City.
