Councilman Bryant wants them to find a way to put some turn lanes in and wants them attached to the PUDE now. Part of the property is on the other side of Old 67 before the railroad tracks and will be annexed into the Town also. This would allow the Town to control the speed limit down Old 67.

Mr. Holloway will show tapered blisters on the plat. Commissioner Bryant brought up the fact the assisted living had no brick on the backs of the units and he felt people would see too much vinyl at the entrance into Mooresville. Mr. Holloway thinks there will be significant amount of landscaping to hide most of the vinyl. There are sunroom on the back plus there would be 4 to S foot mounding everywhere with. pine trees. The rent is $1200 to $1300 per assisted living unit. President Worthen asked are we taking a step backwards with all the vinyl? How about giving up some pine trees and put 50 percent brick an the back of the buildings. As an extra-added comment, Mr. Holloway said that Marleywood Subdivision supported the project.
