Analysis currently and forward The difference between transient building occupants i.e.: those driving and with cars and fixed immobile occupants i.e.: residents 32 residents at any one time (immobile) 3 to 5 employees 1 to 3 visitors for a total of 4 to 8 transient occupants Access to the site is located off Little Canada Road W and Middle Street. There will be a circular drive through turn around with a covered walkway to the entrance of the building which has a small portico which extends from the vestibule entry over the walkway and partially into the circular driveway. The portico will allow for enough clearance to allow for emergency vehicles to pass and thus be able to enter and exit the site freely. Illumination: Lighting from the installation of outdoor flood or spot lighting and illuminated signs shall be of an intensity that is reasonable for the purpose served and will be appropriately shielded minimizing the effects on the use and enjoyment of adjoining properties. Architectural Design: The building will combine stone, residential exterior materials, columns, roofline gables, extending porches and entrances to the building. The overall look is themed after a residential building providing a feeling of warmth and comfort for the residents. CONCLUSION: Thank you for your time to review our proposal. Suite Living Memory Care and Assisted Living of Little Canada will provide great economic benefits to the city and community with 32 assisted living and memory care suites, 25 plus full and part time jobs with annual payroll of $285,000 and a significant contribution to the tax rolls for this property and provide services to the residents of the City and surrounding area. The opportunity for the city to provide senior care options in a very demanding market well into the future is a compelling reason to approve this application. The PUD is designed and intended to accommodate the needs of development for benefit to the community, as Suite Living’s high level of care, access to hospice and respite will bring. Great care has been taken to make the building attractive both as a city and neighborhood friendly addition, utilizing high quality finishes like LP smart siding, colored hard shingle in the staggered edge notched panels, smoked glass in the fake dormers, cultured stone accents and wainscoting, an extensive landscape plan with special attention to maintaining the existing buffer between the neighbors and the building. The project will be designed exceeding the “required” landscaping and other basic requirements of code to upgrade the appearance of the building. The project will manage to maintain the required setbacks from the building to lot line front and back. Landscaping is for decorative purposes and can be moved when and if needed but provides a buffer and ornamental screening to the residential housing on Little Canada Road W.
