Dear editor,
Even those opposed to rezoning the old Arkhaven Nursing Home agree there is a need for more housing in Iola.
Presently, the Arkhaven site is zoned for single-family use or for a nursing home facility. However, it was sold with a clause that prevented the property from operating as a nursing home. So, single-family it is unless it could be rezoned!
If single-family homes were to be built on the 3-acre site, it could accommodate maybe five homes.
