Re: Corrnmmity Design Plan Appeal
Addition to Existing Facility
Dear Mr. Haag:
Please consider this corrnmmication as a formal appeal for a general relief from
the over-all standards of the Corrnmmity Design Plan, Environmental Regulation, Appen-
dix II Section (b) Modifications to existing projects (Ordinance No. 90-99,9-18-90).
The subject addition, as explained to your Department, the Technical Review Com-
mittee and the Board of Adjustments is to provide more respectable care and service
to our residents and their families. The rooms and areas to be added, although includ-
ing four (4) beds, three (3) more than current density permits, are primarily to pro-
vide more full service.
We do not have a medical examination treatment room. For full examinations and
treatments, we need one. Residents have to be transported to nearby hospitals, pri-
marily Bethesda, or to the doctor's offices. These transportations are traumatic to
the residents.
We don't ha"e a visitation room, and should have one. When families and friends
visit they have to do so in semi private rooms which another resident occupies; often
interfering, therefore discouraging, visitations.
The Administrator occupies a closet type office, barely room for a desk and two
small chairs, to visit daily with residents, families, state and corrnmmity represent-
atives, etc. An Administrator doesn't need a commodious or fancy office, but one that
is comfortable and conducive to aforementioned meetings. That's all we ask.
The additional beds are to round out the addition and help justify it.
Succinctly, our appeal is as follows:
1. The building was built long before this ordinance was passed and we are of
the opinion that, although its intent and objective is good, it should oper-
ate progressively not retroactively except in cases of extensive or major
modifica tions .
2. To have to now comply with this small addition would not be economically
feasible.

3. Lastly, and more fmportantly, it would destroy the integrity of my commit-
ment to the owners and residents of this High Point community. When we
first approached the various owner's representatives, one of the first
commitments was to construct a building that would be sfmple and blend in
with the rest of the High Point buildings architecturally, using very sfm-
ilar materials, styles, finishes and amenities. This we did and the subject
addition will not interfere with that commitment rather would be a confirm-
ation and extension of that commitment as we are using the same architect-
ural etc. approach with the proposed addition.
Very trul~S'
