 Hi, my name is Jason Tarmino and I'm asking you to vote yes on Measure L and support the West Davis active adult community The theme of our neighborhood is that taking care of seniors is a worthy endeavor There's five main components to our project, but before I get into that I want to tell you the story about how this started my parents were out to dinner At Tracer Monace and they saw an older lady standing by the bus stop obviously in some sort of distress And so they went out to ask her if they could help and she said yes She didn't miss the last bus and she didn't have any way to get home So they gave her right home to the Eleanor Roosevelt senior housing development And this got my dad thinking about seniors in town And so he called David Thompson who he's known for many years Who he and Luke Watkins were the developers of the Eleanor Roosevelt apartment complex? And from that the idea grew that having an entire neighborhood focused on seniors would be a good idea And so the five components of this neighborhood are first of all location. It's located west of Sutter Davis Hospital Which is important because as people age and certainly get into their 80s The idea that there's an emergency room a few hundred yards away Is nice for them second of all the Sutter Davis Medical offices are there where my kids go. There's community care which serves lower-income seniors Down the street is dignity health care down the street from there is UC Davis health where my wife and I go my parents go And so the location is critical It's also within a half mile of the marketplace where Pete's coffee is and Safeway and there's a pharmacy there So it's close for seniors to walk to drive to ride bikes to ride electric bicycles Other components are the senior affordable housing We were required to build about 60 units instead. We decided to build a hundred and fifty units For two reasons one the demand is so great and number two when you have that number a hundred and fifty You can provide other services that seniors need especially social workers The next component of the project is single-story homes That are smaller. So we have 1200 square foot homes 1400 square foot homes 1800 square foot homes We have condos cottages bungalows and the whole idea here is that there are hundreds and hundreds of seniors Living in large homes all over Davis who would love a new house that it's right size for them It's energy efficient that will serve them for their last phase of life But when they talk about selling their current home and moving in Davis, there just isn't any options for that The next thing that I'd like to mention is our activity and wellness center So the activity and wellness center has a pool that's open to the public Not just the neighborhood a health club open to the public a public restaurant meeting rooms open to the public Rather than building something that was fantastic, but only for the neighborhood We decided it was important to open it up for all of Davis and lastly is the university retirement community We've reserved land for the university retirement community, which is located across the street of cobalt boulevard So they would have a place to expand I think most likely it will become a memory care facility and anyone who's ever cared for somebody who's aging Who has Alzheimer's or some other dementias? Knows how important it is To have these facilities nearby Lastly I'd like to remind you that voting guests on measure L and supporting the West Davis act of adult community Is a worthy endeavor and that taking care of our seniors is an important part of what we do as a community. Thank you
