The building <br /> will be a 12,300 SF single story slab on grade residentially designed structure. The <br /> building is designed essentially as a large duplex with ten units on each side of the <br /> building. Each half of the building would have their own centralliving area, dining <br /> area and kitchen. Each bedroom would have their own bathroom. Each half would <br /> also have a den for private dining or meetings and a screened in porch in the rear of <br /> the building. There would be a secure fenced in area in the back of the buildings with <br /> paths,benches and landscaping to allow the memory care residents to enjoy the <br /> outside without needing constant direct supervision. <br /> The site plan and parking has been designed to accommodate an identical second <br /> phase at some point in the future. Prior to proceeding with the second phase the back <br /> portion(or the entire site) would need to be rezoned, most likely to a RPUD. We do <br /> not anticipate proceeding with the second phase until we have reached full occupancy <br /> of phase one and have a reasonable sized waiting list. <br /> Life Cycle Housing <br /> The addition of a memory care facility to the City of Orono would provide a much <br /> needed element of life cycle housing to the community. While it does provide an <br /> alternative for residents of the city to stay in the city if they or their spouse becomes <br /> afflicted with Alzheimer's, experience has shown that the greatest benefit to the <br /> residents of the city is to provide a place where they can bring their parents that may <br /> live in other parts of the Twin Cities or out-of-state when if they have Alzheimer's <br /> and not have to travel long distances to visit or have them come home with them for � <br /> short periods of time. � � <br /> Site data - � <br /> The site is rectangular in shape and contains a gross area of 3.67 acres. Of that <br /> acreage,the westerly 1.43 acres is wetland,that will be preserved. There is not <br /> access to Kelly Ave, and all ingress and egress will be from Shadywood Road(Co. <br /> Rd. 19). The easterly half of the site is zoned B-4 and the westerly half of the site is <br /> zoned LR-1B. The Comprehensive Plan designation of the site east of the wetland <br /> has been designated Mixed-Use. . <br /> R�CE6VED <br /> MAY 19 ?,.�'.:� <br /> � � CITY OF ORON4 <br />
