Letter from Louise Dunlap, Senior Working Group regarding 730 Stanyan

To: Everyone at the HANC meeting on Nov. 11'21 including Dean Preston

From: Louise Dunlap, Senior Working Group

I was cut off the meeting right after Calvin made his comments about the hold up on 730 Stanyan.  I couldn't get back on the phone site.

So, here are the comments I have about the hold ups:

1) The Senior Working Group needs access during the interim use period in order to help seniors sign up for any units when the building opens;

2)This access would be a  necessary part of  MARKETING units to seniors. A point Calvin brought up in his comments just before I lost my phone connection.  Thank you, Calvin!

3)Someone ask Dean Preston if the building construction could start earlier since no interim use is scheduled. 

The problem is the Developers need to set up providers for the ground floor uses (such as the Senior Center) before construction.  However, as Bo Han informed me, no organization applied to run the senior center for various, logical reasons.  So the  Developers are going to restart the application process [for on-site  senior services] next March.  I dont know if the same problem arose with either child care and or the cafe.  If so,it would have been for the same reasons as happened with the Senior Center.

I any  case, the selection delay prevents starting construction earlier than the exisitng time frame.

If you have any questions for me feel free to call:
