CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION August 6, 2018 <br />DRAFT <br /> 2 <br />included. Staff indicated that it is a goal to get that cleaned up and they feel the 45 <br />developer may ultimately be involved. 46 <br /> 47 <br />Council Member Rafferty asked for an explanation of the “main” road. Ms. Lindahl 48 <br />noted that the main road will certainly be public; a private drive is being considered 49 <br />within. Council Member Rafferty asked about the club house element and Ms. Lindahl 50 <br />noted that it is a planned amenity for the residents but there are not specific plans at this 51 <br />point. A representative of the developer outlined the concept they envision as a place for 52 <br />mainly used for meetings. 53 <br /> 54 <br />Mayor Reinert asked, with no real negatives being expressed by the council, how would 55 <br />this proceed. Mr. Grochala explained the steps that would come next, including a traffic 56 <br />study. 57 <br /> 58 <br />Mayor Reinert remarked that the concept of buffering the adjacent neighborhood will be 59 <br />an important element. 60 <br /> 61 <br />A resident requested that part of the traffic study should be consideration of the density of 62 <br />the entire area. And the buffer is important. It would be more density than was 63 <br />originally planned on the west side and they want to understand how that could impact 64 <br />the other side. Mayor Reinert said he is sensitive to the matter of density and he thinks 65 <br />that may be more specifically dealt with in the upcoming comp plan update. 66 <br /> 67 <br />An area resident asked how many emergency calls could be anticipated with this type of 68 <br />development. Public Safety Director Swenson noted that the city currently has 69 <br />experience with calls from an assisted living facility but that wouldn’t be the same as this 70 <br />proposed facility, which includes 24-hour nursing. Mayor Reinert asked if it’s always 71 <br />necessary to have the lights and sirens for the calls and Chief Swenson said if the police 72 <br />are responding to an emergency they must have their lights/sirens going. 73 <br /> 74 <br />Mayor Reinert asked about timing to break ground. A representative of the developer 75 <br />suggested a year from now would be about the quickest turn around. 76 <br /> 77 <br />Council Member Manthey commented that his major concern would be getting the 78 <br />roadway access from the last piece down in the corner. 79 <br /> 80 <br />Mayor Reinert remarked that this is a developer who has had one facility for 100 years 81 <br />and is now deciding to build; he has confidence that they are a good builder. 82 <br />2. Review Social Media Policy – Administrator Karlson recalled that he had 83 <br />presented a possible policy to the council and one that is being used by other cities. The 84 <br />council asked that he get comments on the policy. He did get feedback from Council 85 <br />Member Stoesz and has incorporated some of those ideas. 86 <br /> 87 <br />In summary, the changes relate to definitions, establishing a communications team for 88
