Bay and east of US Buy #19 is proposed for multiple familYd
3. People \Vho m'ln thH land are regulatfld by the market. Hl~d
Wightman. a infot'rna:ti.on from FHA is that in "the fot"eseeablc
future I.\P to 5 Yl:Is.. fr.om now another FHA h('.lusing unit may
not be oe1.'mi tted in the Clea,t"Water urca" In Albrecht W s
opinion: the 'three l"'ecent high-l'ise s.t:!'uctuttes in Clear\iater
have "pretty ~ell shot the market foX' multi-family housing
for the naxt few YHal"S n d Lindl~U Gardens he mentioned as
liini ted in scope. He felt the planned Bayviet.1 Gardens
garden-type apartments in sponnorship of the Seni.or. Ci.tizens
group would fill a large neud for lON-rise multi-family
housing units (this project basically being designed with
geI'iatric cOlls:iderati.ons).' '
~_ ,Property ownev who is faced with ~ising costs of maintenance
and taxes is lHft \-lith choice of single-familY development,
adhering to idea of ultimate use, or retainil1g his property
and seeing if over a period of time he can conver-t it ,to a
proper land use.
'MI". AlbreCht, further' gave his estimates of per aCl"e reassimulation
cost of single-family and mobile home development of 'the Hightman
propel""ty, He stated i:h~t Hr. Wightman-was cousidering a Pal" 3 Golf
Course as an in'tel:,im land use" but because of access and lack of
arte"roial frontage it is doubtful this could be SUppoT.'t€'.d on its OHn"
As a :reBul t of theil" studies they feI i.: thot the only logical solution

is to put it into mobile home pi.l.z'k use.
