MINUTES OF THE <br /> ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING <br /> Tuesday,January 19,2016 <br /> 6:30 o'clock p.m. <br /> Schoenzeit suggested more information on 911 services to the property be brought forward to the City <br /> Council so that a more definitive estimate is available to the Council. <br /> Landgraver noted one thing that is not included in the conditional use permit requirements is the fact that <br /> there should be security for the residents so they are not able to leave the building and wander out into <br /> traffic. <br /> Leskinen asked if there is an outside area for patients. <br /> Ofsthun stated there is a small area, and if the patients go outside,they would be accompanied. Ofsthun <br /> stated at no time would patients be outside by themselves. <br /> Leskinen asked where the outside area is. <br /> Ofsthun pointed out the location of the outside area on the overhead. Ofsthun noted it is located on the <br /> south side and that the other area is fenced and steep and would not be practical. In addition,the doors <br /> and windows would be locked to help keep the patients indoors. <br /> Leskinen asked if the triangle area would be landscaped. <br /> Ofsthun indicated it would be. <br /> Leskinen asked what pieces of the conditional use permit would follow the land if this business does not <br /> pan out over time. Leskinen asked whether it would have to be strictly a nursing home type facility. <br /> Barnhart stated if a conditional use permit is issued for this property and the property later becomes <br /> vacant, the new user would have to meet all the conditions that are imposed and would have to operate the <br /> same business that is being approved tonight The conditional use permit would cover the number of <br /> beds, employees, and hours of operation. After a certain period of time, if no one picks up that <br /> conditional use permit, it would expire and any new owner would need to apply for a new conditional use <br /> permit. <br /> Landgraver suggested a not to exceed number relating to the number of patients be one of the conditions. <br /> Leskinen asked if the staff to patient ratio is regulated. <br /> Ofsthun stated a home care license would dictate that. The nighttime staff would be four, with a <br /> registered nurse on duty at all times as well as three other assistants. The daytime employees would vary <br /> depending on meal times. <br /> Landgraver stated the City does not want a subsequent owner to come in and cram another bed in each <br /> one of these rooms. <br /> Ofsthun stated they are more than comfortable with limiting it to 22 patients. <br /> Thiesse moved,Lemke seconded,to recommend approval of Application No. 16-3802, TCO Design, <br /> 2380 Shadywood Road, rezoning from B-5 to B-4.
