Member Schmidt moved to approve consent agenda items 1, 2, 3. 4. 5 and 6.
Member Craig seconded the motion.
Member Torgerson commented on the Sunstone Mixed -Use Item and he noticed that
there is a requirement in the Land Use Code that utilities and mechanical units be
screened from public view. This particular Center does not even come close to
complying. However, the item before the Board is separate from that. There are very
large air conditioning units along Timberline Road that are terribly unsightly.
The motion was approved 6-0.
Project: Columbine East Long Tenn Care Facility, Project
Development Plan, #11-05
Project Description: Request for a 131-bed long term care facility (nursing
home) to be located on the site of the Rule Farm at

Corridor.
Hearing Testimony, Written Comments and Other Evidence:
Ted Shepard gave the staff presentation recommending approval.
Mark Gauspohl, from Vaught -Frye Architects gave the applicant presentation. He gave
a background of the project being on the Rule Farm. He informed the board about
access from Rule Drive and Lemay Avenue and the only traffic would be visitors and
staff during the day and staff at night and that entrance would be off of Lemay Avenue.
The small amount of traffic would be during the daylight hours. He spoke of the design
of the building and things that have been done to reduce the scale of the building,
elevations, color, and screening of the mechanical units, landscaping, and location of
courtyards, pedestrian access and circulation. They feel that they building will be an
asset to the neighborhood and the neighbors will be very happy with it.
