    The Emerson Land Use Board Thursday adjourned a hearing on an
    application by the Emerson Armenian Home for the Aged, which calls
    for the construction of a new facility after razing the home~Rs
    current building.

    The hearing has been tabled until the board~Rs next meeting on Dec. 1
    at 8 p.m. in council chambers.

    The $15 million proposal, which would increase the number of beds at
    home from 86 to 117, will take an estimated 18 months to complete. The
    plans call for a new 2½ -story building on the side of the property
    where it meets Clinton Street.

    Emerson residents living around the home have organized to fight the
    proposal, saying more beds will bring more deliveries and more traffic,
    as well as increase flooding to the area.

    A portion of the proposal, which calls for the relocation of a
    dumpster, has other residents concerned the new home may attract
    more rodents.
