17 Autumn Woods Assisted Living is a 72 unit assisted living facility, offering a variety of unit types to attract a number of different residents; those needing CareSuite services, looking to downsize in home size to Studio or 1 bedroom units or couples looking for larger 2 bedroom units. The building has a wide variety of common area spaces. Those spaces include an outdoor patio, fitness room, beauty parlor, 'spa' rooms, Movie Theater, dining room and full service kitchen, in- house Chapel, craft room, library and a number of Parlors and sitting areas to promote social activities. Landscaping on the site will be to the high standard known at other Lang -Nelson communities. A variety of perennial and shrub planting as well as Deciduous and Coniferous Tree Planting. This will give the building a more residential feel and also create natural barriers from the existing buildings and homes around the area. The owners of the proposed development together with their Architect and Civil Engineer have had the opportunity to meet with the members of St. Anthony's public works team, including engineering as well as the Fire Marshal. We believe these meetings have helped develop this building into a cohesive plan that will benefit not only the existing neighborhood but the community as a whole. It is also our strong belief that this development is a cohesive fit for the City of St. Anthony and its comprehensive plan to provide housing to a variety of ages and demographics. The 72 unit Assisted Living building would provide housing to those 55 years of age and older and needing physical care as well as a safe & comfortable place to live. Lang -Nelson's mission statement: `Our Mission is to go above and beyond our customer's expectations. We are dedicated to provide quality living environments that enhance our residents lives physically, socially and spiritually', will be lived and experienced throughout the building, by offering quality housing, meal programs that are unsurpassed in the industry and the highest level of health care. Parking for the building will consist of 18 underground stalls for residents and staff, as well as 13 street parking stalls on the North Bast end of the building on Kenzie and 13 striped parking stalls on the south west end of the building. Parking will also be available via our existing parking lot at Autumn Woods, which is under common ownership. This area has 59 stripped parking spaces which are seldom used by residents. To expand on the parking breakdown of the building; Lang -Nelson's 8 other Assisted Living communities were extensively surveyed to obtain the number of staff and residents needing parking. Common stats include 17% of the units in Lang -Nelson's additional building use a parking space (more often than not to park a car that is never or very seldom driven by an Assisted Living resident). On average we have 36 staff members needing parking at varying times of the day. If 36 staff members needed parking and 17% of the proposed 72 units equating to 12 residents needed parking, totaling 48 cars needing parking we are above our number of slotted spaces by 34 stalls. Attached is a graph outlining this summary:
