There will be approximately 150 beds. They <br /> would like to have flexibility in the number of beds they have available for each category. . <br /> They are currently looking at 14 independent rooms, 106 assisted living rooms, and 30 <br /> memory care rooms.

Having the property subdivided will <br /> enhance the development for lot 2. Lot 2 will be clearly defined as to size and location. <br /> There are no tenants identified at this time. Conceptually there could be a 20,000 square <br /> foot facility on Lot 2 but this will be something that is determined by the tenant. The <br /> actual size of the facility could be smaller. <br /> Commissioner Holewa stated the reports show the traffic after full build would be less <br /> than the traffic that is generated by a hotel. The property has not been a hotel for a <br /> number of years. Over the last few years the Holiday Inn has been used as student <br />
