Comforts of Home page 6 When asked about certain community characteristics, 45% said there is too little senior housing, 32% said about right, and 23% didn't know. PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT: Development Stage Plan Site: The site currently consists of one parcel that includes approximately 17 acres. The property has a trapezoidal shape due to the Woodridge Estates neighborhood, which forms a diagonal western border to the site. The site does not include the liquor store, insurance office, or the boarded -up 49 Club. The site currently has extensive tree cover. A small wetland of less than 1/2 acre sits in the northwest corner of the site. Residential Buildings, Units: The proposal includes three types of dwelling units. On Lot 1 in the northeast part of the site, two large buildings would be built: one with senior apartments and one for assisted living units. Though they are connected by a commons building, they are very different types of dwelling units. Owner - occupied condominium units would be constructed on Lot 2 in the northwestern part of the site. (These are labeled "townhomes ", but townhomes typically are characterized as having individual entrances to the street and the units extend from foundation to roof. This report will refer to them as condominiums.) • Assisted Living: The 42 assisted living units are similar to hospital rooms in some ways. The have no kitchens, and the building has common dining areas. While all unit have toilet /wash rooms, two large bathing rooms on each floor provide for assisted bathing. This building would have a cultured stone base about three feet high around the entire building. A brick veneer would complete the first floor elevation. The second floor would have Hardipanel lap siding and vertical siding. Building heights are measured halfway up a gabled roof (the average height of the highest gable). The tallest gable on the assisted living building is 43' high with an average height of 33'. • Senior Apartments: This building includes apartments on the ground level and second floor, with underground parking. The 41 senior apartments include one - bedroom apartments and studio apartments. Both types have full baths and kitchens in each unit. The apartment building would have a cultured stone base around the entry areas but not around the entire building. Hardiplank vertical and horizontal siding would cover the majority of the walls. No brick veneer is included on the elevations. This building height is similar to the assisted living building: about 33' with a peak of about 43'. • Condominiums: There would be four condominium buildings with 12 owner- occupied units in each building for a total of 48 units. The ground floor would be resident indoor • •
