Regular Council Meeting <br />3-17-97 <br />Page 10 <br />Mrs. Cinco said they have spoken about this only casually with Councii at this time. Our <br />resolution to purchase the golf caurse is only on second reading. She can't offer any hope of <br />acting quickly and can't make any commitments to that property until after the first of the year. <br />Mr. Marquardt said he lked the presentation on it and does not think they are ruling out an3rthing <br />on that northwest quadrant. Tirning right now is that they don't own the property and he does <br />not believe that wi11 be completed until sometime next year. Now, we are tryilg to coIleet al1 of <br />the proposaLs that people make and haw the pieces fit in. From his perspective, he liked getting <br />the proposal but does not think they are ready to make a decision yet. <br />The gentlem,an in the audience said he understands they are a little early on this. If he were to go <br />back to them and say he had a favorable reception but understands he can't provide any <br />cammitment and that the chances are relativelq good when the Council is able to make the <br />decision tha,t they will vote in your favor, he thinks there is a good possibiiity the people will wait. <br />They like the site, the area. T'heir price point for the acquisition of iand is probably abaut a <br />million dollars. He thinks it would be difficult for Council to find another user that would have as <br />little impact on the commwuty or the site that wauld be will'uig to pay anywhere close to this <br />amount of money. <br />Mrs. Cinco said they are very concerned with the density and with our zoning for density. She <br />said she does not want to encourage them but she t.hinks they are not ready to act on it at this <br />point. <br />Mr. Marquardt said we don't have zoning that covers this. <br />The gentleman said the people who put these things up around the country have a Iot of <br />experience on this and they said others were willing to work with the zoning. <br />M-rs. Cinco reminded everyone that the Viilage has been to the courts abaut 6 times and what is <br />there is there. <br />Mr. 1Vlarquardt said any changes in the zoning have to go to the electorate. <br />Mr. Buckholtz said the financial end of this is very attractive. People will be discussing this. <br />The gentleman said if they have not found an alternative site by the tune the lots are made <br />available, they will be back. He wants to make certain everyone understands what assisted living <br />is. This is not a nursing facility; it is smaller in size. In addition to the housing, a variety of other <br />services are offered such as cooking, laundry, transportation or rehabiiitation services. To some <br />extent those things are available on site depending upon the state requirements and regulations for <br />licensing. He sai.d if Councii would like to see a full presentation,lVlayor Rinker lcriows where to <br />reach him.
