Minutes of the Special Meeting of Council Monday, November 7, 2016 Page 12 Mr. Mulle replied, there's a little bit of parking in front. There's a circle drive for drop off. The majority of the spaces for visitors and staff is to the opposite side between this building and the existing building. Mr. Jerome asked, the back side? Mr. Mulle replied, correct. That's where the service access would be as well. The side of the building that faces SOM would be grass, trees, landscaping and just the building facade itself. There's no parking or traffic in the front of the building. Mr. Jerome asked, the circle is going to be not directly in front, the drop-off circle you spoke of? That would be on the side of it? Mr. Mulle replied, the building as it is designed faces north. The side of the building that faces SOM is the west side of the building. The north sidc of the building is actually the front so you actually turn off of SOM and head west on that access drive back toward the existing building. It's along that drive, the front door of this building and that's where the circle drive is located. None of that entrance or parking or that kind of activity is on the SOM Center side. It's all protected. Dr. Karfes stated, he just brought up an interesting point because it's my expectation that they are going to put a stoplight opposite the driveway and Hickory Hill Drive on SOM. Is there going to be a traffic light put at that intersection? Council President Saponaro replied, no. Dr. Karfes stated, sorry. I thought there was going to be because I thought there was some construction for a stoplight at Hickory Hill and SOM. Council President Saponaro replied, no. Dr. Karfes stated, then that changes my mind as far as the traffic pattern from here on SOM. From Progressive, it's mayhem. Council President Saponaro stated, you are thinking of Sandalwood and SOM. Dr. Karfes stated, thank you. Mr. Williams asked, how would you compare your proposed facility to Governor's Village? Dr. Moyal replied, I think Governor's Village has got more than an assisted living. It has assisted living and Alzheimer's unit and a nursing home. They don't just have assisted living. It is not the level of acuity. It has tlu-ee phases, nursing home which is almost like in-patient. It is a much higher level of care. Assisted living is mostly people who require help and cannot otherwise be home. They require medications and diets and physical therapy. They are kept safe and sound and healthy.
