Minutes of the Special Meeting of Council Monday,?January 9, 2017 Page 7 Mr. Marquardt stated, all right, so we are not stopping them. We just need to say yes or no. Council President Saponaro stated, right. Exactly. That is true. We are not stopping the process. Chief Carcioppolo Again, I would just like to address everyone that there were a lot of different points brought up by the residents but I would like to again emphasize that even though the law does permit the 100 foot distance from the structure, I cannot advise anyone here that it is a good idea to put an assisted living facility with 52 beds within 100 foot proximity and will go further to say that there are provisions of the law that won't let a new building be built within 200 feet of an existing well unless the. property owner agrees to do that in an urbanized area. With the property owner being a controlling interest, he can choose to do that in an urbanized area. I am not opposed by any means. I do just want to emphasize the importance of a gas well having proximity to a structure such as that one. That's another concern to think about. Potentially if it were to go forward, my recommendation would be that the gas well should be capped. Mr. Diemert stated, but that is discussion again at the Development Agreement time and plan time. It's really not the issue now. We can mandate conditions to any use variance. Mr. Mills stated, what the problem is when Judge Krenzler did his rezoning he was very diligent in what he did. He presented everything to us. We knew exactly where he was coming from, what he was going to do and how it was going to happen. We have too many unknown things right now. I understand the process. If we don't give them the ability to go before the electorate, they are going to go get petitions and put it on the ballot anyway and they will probably get enough people to sign the petition to put it on the ballot. Are we risking a lawsuit in the process of this? It's going to cost us maybe a lot of money. I am not for this building. I don't like the concept. I think the suites are too small. I would not want to live in a little place like that. It's not as big as one of my smallest bedrooms. I am not really in favor of it, but we have to use our common sense on this. 'They are going to pursue it one way or the other. Let's try to do this as diligently as we can. Council President Saponaro asked, anyone else? There were no further comments.
