Minutes of the Special Meeting of Council Monday, November 7, 2016 Page 9 Mr. Mulle replied, they range from around 300-400 square feet. They are not large. They are small apartments. It is typical of most assisted living and elder care facilities. Ms. Gottschling stated, that's true. When you are old, you are inconsequential sometimes. Mr. Mulle stated, that's one of the difficult things about these types of facilities. It is a change. When you are able to live in your own home where you are. used to being, you have been forever, in a house that's 2,500 square feet with a yard and everything, it's a difficult transition for certain. Ms. Gottschling stated, we hope you all get there someday. Council President Saponaro stated, thank you for your comment. Anyone else? Jim Farmer Aintree Park Drive I have been a resident since 1990.

We really don't have that much of an opportunity for that kind of living arrangement. Council President Saponaro stated, thank you for your comment. We appreciate it. Anybody else? Chief Eugene Carcioppolo Mayfield Village Fire Department For those of you that do not know me, I am Chief Carcioppolo. I just wanted to express a couple of concerns I have with the proximity of the proposed assisted living facility to the gas well. You mentioned 100 feet. To be honest with you, I have not looked at the Building Code as it refers to setbacks from gas wells on a daily basis because that's not really my job, but I was on the Safety Committee for the Gates Mills Regional Gas Well Commission and they released their report almost a year ago. It was released on November 17, 2015. The current setback was 150 feet at the time. 150 feet is the distance from the gas well to the structure. Our recommendation based off of from an emergency response standpoint was dealing with if there was a release of gas or chemical from the gas well, we use an emergency response guide handbook which gives us initial isolation distances and evacuation distances. So to put a facility
