QUESTIONS / CONCERNS:
We are concerned about ambulance traffic.
Patients are transported by ambulance when they leave the hospital and check
R
that type of ambulatory traffic.
Are there plans to keep the trees?
The trees are our biggest site plan issue since they are in the middle of the
R
property. We will preserve as much as possible.
Will you utilize the courtyards to save some of the existing trees?
Yes, absolutely.
R
Your presentation showed an area with exercise equipment. Will that be open for public
use?
No, the exercise area is for patients only. However, the restaurants and salons
R
will be open to the public.
We would like to see an access road traffic study conducted.
Is this a rehab facility?
Yes
R
Do patients drive themselves back and forth?
No they are generally dropped off, stay two (2) weeks and get picked up.
R
Is this a retirement home?
No
R
How many employees will there be?
About 80 to 100 full-time employees
R
Where is the main entrance? Shady Lane or 114?
There will be entrances from both roadways as shown on the site plan.
R
We are concerned about the entrance off of Shady Lane and the volume of commercial
traffic down a residential street. Can you lose it?
We can look at the possibility.
R
I see a third drive on the east side. What does that connect to?
Our property backs up to an orthodontist office.
R
Will you be seeking a zoning change?
R
Will you be requesting variances?
No.
R
How close is 114 entrance to Shady?
n of specific distance but we will meet city spacing requirement.
R
Dr. Bonola (property owner to the east) talked about the trees on the north side and how
they will be preserved due to residential adjacency standards. Also, trees on both sides
of the fence are existing.
What about fencing?
There is an existing chain link / barbed wire fence. We will meet zoning screening
R
and fencing requirements.
Does the acute short-term ever get swapped to long-term?
No. We have some that have but this will not happen here.
