Development shall be in substantial confonnity with submitted drawings with the exception that the proposed parking along the east-west leg of McKnight Place (fo:rmerly Barby lane) shall be deleted. 11. All parking am larrlscaping shall be per drawings submitted for :R1ases II am III, am the lam for !base III shall be seeded am maintained until developed. 12. IDaciinJ areas shall be reviewed for the entire project am shall meet the requirements of Sec. 34-50.5 of the Zoning Code. Mr. Ollendorff said the applicant agrees to the corrlitions am understands that a separate zoning application am review is needed for the southwest area at McKnight am Kingsbw:y. Approval was reconnnended. Mrs. Ruth Beman, 8640 W. Kingsbury, who lives adjacent to #1 McKnight Place, reminded Council of her letter to Zoning Administrator Frank Hill, in which she strongly objected to the proposed parking lot to be built in conjunction with the nursing home at #1 McKnight because it would be directly across from her home. Mr. Ollendorff asked Mrs. Bennan to return to the Council meeting in June when Council considers the rezoning of the lot in question, am to a meeting a month or so later when Council will either approve or disapprove the plan for that lot. He said the issues raised by Mrs. Beman in her letter were totally appropriate--screeni.ng, landscaping, etc., am that the plan should protect her property. Mrs. Bennan agreed to return. Mr. Alex Feldman, 1233 Backer, asked the City to ensure that as many trees as possible are preserved when the addition is made to #1 McKnight. He also en- couraged the inclusion of some Medicaid beds in the nursing facility. Mr. O1arles Deutsch, one of the applicants, came forward. Mayor Majerus said she worried there may be extra demands on the City's ambulance sel:Vice when the nursing care facility opens. '!he City accepts Medicare payments for this sel:Vice, am she was concerned the possible additional calls may be a drain. Mr. Deutsch suggested there might be fewer calls since the facility will be acute care. In connection with paying full charge for ambulance sel:Vice, he said residents may feel that through their rates they already pay their pro- portionate share of real estate taxes am are entitled to sel:Vices equal to other residents. He felt a nursing home would not require sel:Vices any more costly than a single-family home. Mayor Majerus suggested more discussion on this later, but noted that meetings on next year's budget will begin shortly, am the City must be extremely careful not to accept additional responsibili- ties unless the resources are available to pay for them. Mr. Deutsch hoped the nursing home will provide more revenue than it costs the city. In response to Mrs. '.!hompson, Mr. Deutsch said the plans were not far enough
