the skin/plat being filed with the County Recorders Office. R. Bohlmann seconded the motion which was unanimously approved. 2. Wellington Place; 4800 Clague Road: (WRD # 4) Proposal consists of an addition to existing senior housing facility and site improvements. Note: Variances are required. Ms. Wenger reported that the proposal consisted of constructing an additional three-story wing to match the existing senior facility and site improvements. The addition would provide assisted living, Alzheimer's care and slcilled nursing. Parking areas and drives would be extended and the applicant's intent is to develop previously approved landbanked parking. The new facility would house the relocated outpatient medical offices from the existing building. The new offices would be generally the same size as the existing space and would continue to be an accessory use to the main use of the building. Mr. Conway reviewed that the applicants are required to have 144 parking spaces and the newly submitted plans show 109 spaces constructed and 351andbanked. Therefore the commission can approve the landbank parlcing and eliminate the parking variance. New plans show foot candle readings higher than zero about the parking lot due to additional light fixtures being added eliminating the parking lot light variance. However there is still minimal light trespassing over the north and west property lines but no readings provided for property lines abutting residential property therefore he requires the applicants' assurance tonight that new plans would be submitted showing zero readings along abutting residential property lines to eliminate the light trespassing variance. The applicant will require variances for side yard setback and for light fixtures not having full cuts. Mr. Raig advised that a lot consolidation plat is required for the two parcels since the new parking lot would cross property lines. Storm water management calculations were provided which shows that if the detention system outlet is revised to a four-inch orifice the existing storage would be adequate. Grading plans show that approximately two acres would be disturbed by construction. Therefore, post-construction storm water quality measures are required. The site layout plan shows additional pavement in the southeast corner of the site and the grading plan does not. Therefore new plans depicting the correct information is required. Mr. Ziska, the architect, Mr. Messerini, the director of the facility, Mr. Nickels, the civil engineer and Mr. Bower, the owner, were present. Mr. Ziska reviewed that they would like to continue to use the residential type light fixtures which are used on the existing buildings. Therefore they will seek a variance for light fixtures not having full cut offs. He assured the commission that new plans would be provided showing zero foot candle readings at the property lines. A fenced in patio area was added for the Alzheimer patients. They would like to seek a 4 foot 9 inch variance for side yard setbaclc. Code requires 54 feet 9 inches and they show 50 feet which is due to what is talcing place within the building and trying to meet the north side yard setback requirements. He advised that the new landscape areas would be irrigated. Mr. Yager said that the applicant would be duplicating the existing three-story building by matching existing building materials which is consistent with what was already approved by the city. He questioned were the Alzheimer patients would be located as they have a tendency to wander and suggested increasing the patio size to accommodate more maneuverability for the patients. He is in favor of landbank parking to allow greenspace and matching the existing light fixtures. Photometric plans do not account for fencing so he believes that the applicants can provide zero readings at the property lines. 3
