MINUTES CITY COUNCIL DECEMBER 22, 2008 Blesener asked if there was a market for this type of housing. Brian Winges, Comforts of Home, reported that they have done market studies and there is a very heavy market for high acuity assisted living. He reported that as they construct new facilities, they are full in 3 to 6 months and cun•ently have waiting lists. Blesener pointed out that the facility will be privately owned, therefore, will pay property taxes. Blesener asked about the potential for sale of the business to anon-profit. The City Administrator indicated that as long as residents are being charged rent and income is being made, property taxes will have to be made. The City Attorney agreed. Montour asked about impact to existing tree cover. Frisbie agreed that tree cover will be impacted, but indicated that they will save as many perimeter trees as possible. Additional trees and landscaping will be added to the site once developed. Blesener asked about the number of efficiency apartments in relation to one-bedrooms. Frisbie estimated about a 50/50 split.
