Stacey said the development could eventually bring the city $26,000 in annual revenues plus building fees of approximately 90-da- $84,000. Described as an optimum sign, the plan shows 61 small, detached homes, targeted for senior citizens, on a six and one half acre site. This would require rezoning the property, from to 3 or 4 using a R-1- -8 R-l-- R-I-- Planned Urban Development (PUD) concept. Stacey said the firms bid would include building new tennis courts at the south end of Municipal Park since existing courts would be J torn down to accomodate the project. He presented the plans to a Roy citizens committee appointed to make recommendations on how the land should be used. The committee was appointed by the Roy City Council following pressure from residents living near the site. Residents are concerned about how the land will be used and the possible sale of part of Municipal Park, and idea the city council is considering. Kiers site plan includes approximately two acres of the e ar10'2 acre park. The ea is comprised of a half acre strip that the Weber School District wants to buy for use as a ' two-acr- parking lot. The strip is actually close to one acre, but part of it is currently used for parking. The remaining one and acres includes two city tennis courts, playground equipment and green space. . one-ha- lf Greg Buxton a committee member, said he would feel better if age restrictions were placed on buyers.; He said that instead of senior citizens buying the houses, ; the houses might be bought as starter homes. My concern is that itll become just another low income housing development if there isnt an age limit. In response, Stacey said the development concept ishigher quality than starter, homes and units would sell for approximately $60,006.
