As well, she said that the con- sultant’s claim that the area is predominantly made up of renters is inaccurate because they found only eight of the 55 households were not owner-occupied. Hale also said that the five lots that make up the proposed pro- ject's site should be used for single-family homes because there is a market for such homes; he added that the 1987 city-funded study of the areca showed that it should remain single-family zon- ed. A supporting letter, signed by Hale for all four residents pres- enting the petition, said that ‘this is not a seniors’ housing issue...this is a rezoning issue." But, because the need for af- fordabie seniors’ housing has been central to the debate over the de- velopment, the fetter disputed the affordabiiity of the units. The letter stated that the one- bedroom suites will be, on average, only $18 less than market rate for units starting at 507 square feet, while the market average is 700 square feet for a one-bedroom unit. It also stated that the average rents of the two-bedroom suites will be $116.87 more per month than the average, according to figures from the Central Mortgage and Housing Commission. Other concerns stated in the let- for donors pounds). Donors should not be on any medication, but there are a few exceptions to the rule. He advises donors to have a substantial meal within four hours of coming to the clinic and to allow an hour for the donation process. Donors are asked to bring their blood- donor card and first-time par- ticipants need to provide iden- tification. . The average persen has be- tween 4,500 and 5,900 millilitres (mL) of blood, which is 10 to 12 pints, in his or her body. The Red Cross needs on- ly 450 mL (one pint), which is quickly replaced by the body with no ill effects.
