Mr. Mehl explained that the Senior Landings will have a site manager, two leasing staff, and maintenance staff. He added the property will be staffed during regular business hours similar to the Landings. Mr. Jerry Hoffman, Silver Lake Condominiums Board Member, appeared before the City Council and thanked the City Council for allowing them to speak to the City Council. He stated they have 130 homes in their development with 45 surface parking stalls and an underground garage which is full and one of the challenges is finding parking for visitors. He recited the letter sent to the City Council and signed by the Board of Directors and 47 members of the Silver Lake Condominiums that outlines their concerns particularly regarding parking. He referenced the email response from Mayor Faust stating that the City will work with the Silver Lake Condominiums association and all entities in the area and stating that the City wants to seek solutions that enhance the living experience for all residents. Mayor Pro Tern Stille stated the City Council will give every consideration to the statements contained in Mr. Hoffman 's letter. He pointed out that Mayor Faust's email also stated this is a unique situation because the project has predominantly private roads and much of the resolve needs to come from within the project. He added that the City will do whatever it can to work with the condominium owners and the City is committed to making this a quality community.
