    My name is Chelsea Woodruff. I am a licensed real estate agent with Equity Real Estate. I represent some clients with special needs that currently live in a small condo in Sandy. Wheelchair accessible housing in Sandy has been nearly impossible to find. My clients are just above the income levels that qualify for "low income" but with two children who are growing, they are quickly losing hope of being able to buy a home and stay in Sandy. The lots that you have reserved that are nearest the Trax station are ideal, as my clients, one who is quadriplegic and wheelchair-bound, and one who is blind, are dependent on public transit to maintain their full-time employment. They are hoping to acquire a lot and design a house that will allow them to live independently, with an optional basement rental space where they could house a medical aide. They are willing to work with the RDA, CTEC, and whoever else necessary to make this happen. They would also like to advocate that wheelchair accessible housing be a consideration for any projects moving forward - since universal designs will benefit both those with and without disabilities.

    Thank you for your consideration.
