All Aye RE: PLAN REVIEW FOR NEW NURSING HOME ON 2ND S & 4TH E - REQUEST FOR A CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT TOPIC: (300,88,,,PLAN REVIEWS,NURSING HOMES,SITE PLANS,2ND SOUTH) R. Joseph Rude, President of Health & Marketing West, was at the meeting to show plans for a Nursing Home at Lot 4 Block 7 of the Rigby Addition, and to request a Conditional Use permit. The property is zoned LDR1 with a Professional Office Overlay. It is to be located on the property directly across from Lincoln School. Mr Rude stated that they had just purchased the property. He explained and showed the plans. The main entrance will be on 2nd South Street and it will have visitor parking above, the employee and support parking will be down below. The project requires 21 parking spaces, and they are planning 67 parking places. They are going to create a special care unit which would be an Alzheimers Special Care unit. The kitchen activities will be in the lower level, and also will create a transitional care unit. People would go into the Transitional care unit for a short visit of possibly two weeks to a month and receive physical therapy or special care for their needs. • Davawn Beattie asked about the storm drainage? John Millar explained that the drainage isn't too much of a problem, there is a 30" line on the east side of the property and that line goes down into the park. The one side of the property would not be built on at this time but • would be kept green until such time as they decided to build on it. The north edge of this property abuts up against Dr Crouch's ~~ • development. There would be no connecting road between the property. They would address a buffer between the property. They don't generate very much traffic. The labor force will be about 85 people and they won't all be on site at once. They will be working three shifts, with about 35 people coming during the day shift. There are 45 employee parking places and on top there are 17 visitors parking places plus 2 handicapped. A Nursing Home would be allowed in LDR1 under a Conditional Use Permit. The parking lot will need to be screened. Because they have employees coming and going night and day, they will be lighting their parking lot for security. They will try to use directed lights to minimize the effect on the residential neighborhoods. The development will need to be buffered. Davawn recommended that the Traffic people have a chance to look at the plans. They would fence around the outside of the Alzheimers wing. A motion was made by Mary Ann and seconded by Jim Long to proceed to Public Hearing for one month from tonight at 7:30 P. M. John Millar recommended that the board go up and look at the site before the Public Hearing. RE: PLAN REVIEW FOR MILLHOLLOW YOGURT (BY DESERET INDUSTRIES) - PARKING LOT DISCUSSED) TOPIC: (300,89,,,PLAN REVIEWS,MILLHOLLOW YOGURT,PARKING LOTS) Joe Romney and Brad Hastings of Silvertree Builders were at the meeting • with the plans for Millhollow Yogurt on the property north of Deseret Industries currently used as a parking lot. They explained the plans. It will be a Rustic Type of Old Mill Style. They will take out some existing driveways and replace them according to the specs of a commercial driveway. The entire parking area will be asphalted and it does drain down to the back area where there is an existing drain. They will change the drainage system, because the existing drain is under the building site. They have an agreement so D. I. can use the door. There is an easement that starts on the south property line and extends 20 feet to the north. There will be one way traffic around the building for a drive through. There are also pedestrian easements out of the Beauty College. It is zoned C.B.D. and does not require off street parking, but there are 17 parking places. John Millar stated that there is a requirement in our ordinance page 44- 5.9 "Existing parking and loading facilities shall not be reduced or removed from the C.B.D. by new or existing uses unless a variance is obtained from the Planning Commission or substitute off-street parking is provided within two hundred feet (200) of the main entrance of the use." The property has been used for parking for many years and by design or default it is a C.B.D. parking lot. He and Joe had discussed it and felt that a variance or substitute off-street parking should be required. Mr Romney stated that they have been looking at this since November and the only parking on the lot was students and faculty from the beauty college.. Mary Ann said she was involved in the L.I.D. and the only establishment that did not agree to pay the assessment was the • fitness center, so she checked it out and the fitness center was using that parking lot. Mr Romney stated that Taylors paid their assessment for the city parking lots. Jim Long asked if he owned a piece of property and the public used it to park on without his permission and • suddenly he wanted to develope it what rights does the public have and why does he have to worry about replacing the parking they were illegally using? (discussion) Mary Ann stated that it was private property and used for Taylor Chevrolet car parking lot and paved by Taylor Chevrolet. She interpreted the ordinance to mean that if someone wanted to build on a city owned parking lot and because this is private property she did not see how we could include this. <discussion) Jeff Walters stated that he wondered if because it had been used for a parking lot, there might be a prescriptive use and if it has been perceived by the community at large that it is a city parking lot. He felt that it was a border line thing. (discussion) Joe Laird said he had no problem with the site plan, he just had a question with that section of the ordinance. Jim Long felt we would be imposing regulations on them that we really don't need to. Mary Ann stated that when we did this zoning ordinance, she did not think we had that in mind. A motion was made by Jim Long and seconded by Jerry Jeppesen to approve the plan as it is. All Aye except Jeff Walters voting nay in opposition. There will be a meeting on the 2nd Tuesday in September to work on the Impact Zone. Meeting adjourned. • •
