The number of beds 1n the existing facility will be increased from thirty-two (32) beds to thirty- five (35) beds. A Community Design Plan appeal has also been requested and will be heard later in the meeting. The following are the surrounding land uses: North - (across Woolbright Road) - single-family homes zoned R-l-AA; East - Little League Park; South - existing multi-family development known as High Point West zoned R-3; and West - 1-95 right-of-way. The various standards the City Commission must evaluate for a conditional use request include ingress/egress, parking, loading spaces, landscaping. buffers, refuse, utilities, signage and lighting. With regard to ingress/egress, no changes are being made. Existing parking, the dumpster, loading space and existing utilities are adequate to serve the addi- tion. Landscaping exeeds the Code and will provide buffering for the facility to the south. The light fixtures will not present a problem to the structures to the south. The Board of Adjustment approved a variance for the reduction of the rear setback from 40' to 32'. Staff feels the use is generally compatible with adjacent properties including High Point West.

The Board further recom- J mended that three (3) existing Australian Pines be removed and the proposed Acacia trees be swapped for native specie trees of comparable size. Motion Mayor Pro Tem Bradley moved to accept the conditional use for the addition to the Adult Care Center as proposed, subject to all staff comments. MAYOR HARMENING ANNOUNCED THE PUBLIC HEARING, AND ASKED FOR COMMENTS IN SUPPORT OF THiS PROJECT. Carl Lindner. President of Adult Care Facilities, said this facility has been in operation since 1985 wit~thirty-two (32) beds and one (1) respite bed. The facility was lacking the visitation room, medical examination room and admin- istrative offices. Since equity has built up, he decided to reinvest in the building to provide additional services for the residents. By squaring off the building, there is now room for four (4) additional beds. The current density penmits thirty-five (35) beds plus one (1) respite. He is seeking thirty-eight (38) beds, which will be the maximum capacity. Mayor Hanmening advised Mr. Lindner that the Commissioners were aware of these facts since they were included as part of the back-up material provided in the agenda packet. In response to Commissioner Katz' question regarding the swapping of the Acacia trees for trees of a native species, Mr. Lindner advised that the trees were put in place at the request of the Community Appearance Board when the original landscape plan was submitted. Mr. Lindner advised that it will now be necessary for him to add additional screening since the State recently removed a large amount of the existing screening. Mr. Lindner does not want to remove the Acacia trees. Commissioner Katz advised that the Planning and Development Board's recommenda- tion was for the removal of the Australian Pines and the swapping out of the Acacia trees. Mr. Lindner intends to remove the Australian Pines which are dead and planned to trim the Australian Pines which encroach the abutting properties. Mr. Lindner said he cannot afford to give up screening trees. He would like an opportunity to speak with the Forester to see what can be done to replace the screening which was removed by the State. Mayor Hanmening explained that the removal of the screening by the State is the same situation which occurred on Diane Drive. A noise wall will be built in both areas. Mr. Lindner stated he would not hold up the project for seven (7) Acacia trees. Gene Scholze. 44S North Boulevard in Hiah Point. said the Planning and Develop- ment Board's recommendation was for the removal of all of the Australian Pines. He said there are at least six trees; one which is dead, and four or five over- hanging the property line. He requested all of the trees be removed. Ms. Heyden advised that there are twelve (12) Australian Pines on the property. A resident from 435 North Boulevard had no objection to the project; however, when the digging begins to remove the trees, she requested care be taken since the condominiums suffered cracks toward the roof the last time this was done. She pointed out that the trees should be removed because they are very tall, very dead and look hideous. - 9 - REQUEST FOR PUBLISHING LEGAL NOTICES AND/OR LEGAL ADVERTISEMENTS A completed copy of this routing slip must accompany any request to have a Legal Notice or Legal Advertlsement published and must be submitted to the Office of the City Attorney eight (8) working days prior to the first publishing date requested below.
