Referred by planniug commission May 9, 1995. - Mr. Coury, builder, owner and developer of the complex, and Mr. Kaczmar, architect, presented the plans. Mr. Kaczmar explained that the two independent living build.ings would be phase one of the project, but both phases might be built at the same time. He explained that the grade of the properiy sloped down one full level toward the back of the property, thus making it possible to create a five story portion at the midpoint of the buildings. The two building will be connected by an atrium type common community building, one story at the front, and two stories at the back because of the grade differential, with a court yard behind that. He clarified that the property actually slopes down 30 feet from front to back. The three story, fifly unit assisted living building (phase two of the project) will be connected to the west building. At the far north portion of the property there will be a one story, 50 bed nursing facility, with the possibility of adding a future wing with 26 beds. The exterior building materials will be face brick or a ju.mbo type masonry unit with some vertical elements used to accentuate the glass and other vertical features, such as the elevator lobby on each end of the buildings, in a siding material, possibly a product called Werzelit which simulates wood or possibly wood or vinyl siding. This material will also be used in the bay window areas of the building. The middle building will be an atrium typ.e building in order to have as much natural light as possible. He clarified that he was the architect for the St. Clarence project next door where they are planniug 70 independent living apartment units, and ? they are trying to tie the two developments together in order to create a campus community.
