LOCATION: The project is located approximately 1/4 mile south of Drake Road
between -Stover, a collector street,and Stanford, a local street.
HISTORY: Pinewood P.U.D. originated as a townhome project in 1983 as a two-
story two and three bedroom complex consisting of 42 dwelling units. The
original plan called for surface parking of 88 spaces. A later administra-
tive change planned for 48 of those spaces to be provided with carports. At
the time of the initial development, the parking and drive infrastructure,
including curb cuts onto Stover and Stanford, were both constructed..Due to
economic reasons~ only the first building was constructed consisting of four
units.

PINEWOOD TOWNHOMES: After the demise of the initial venture, a second group
designed the project around a 4-plex and duplex concept.for.the.site:w.itb..the
total density of the project to be a total of 40 units, 36 new, and 4 exist=
ing. This occurred in the mid -eighties and no major change in project trans-
portation pressures were indicated at that time. .
PROJECT DATA: Number of Units 40
Number of Trips Generated 320 Trips/Day
SHAMROCK MANOR P.U.D.: This current plan that you see before you permits a
break from the first two concepts by providing two distinct housing types
that are targeted to the elderly housing market. The one is a 17 patient
board and care facility and the other is 28 unit independent living complex.
Both are targeted to the seniors market that cannot physically nor economically
maintain a single family residence and need assistance to some degree to care
for their personal needs.
Within the board and care facility, this need is provided on a 24 hour basis
with special attention paid to meals, hygiene, laundry, personal care, and

companionship. The independent living provides the opportunity for the senior
to do as much as he or she can for themselves with the provider assisting as
needed. Within the framework of the facility no car will be allowed to be
kept by the board and care resident. There will be a full-time resident staff
person within this facility that will have the ability to maintain private
transportation on site. The board and care facility is noted as Building A
on the Site Plan.
Building 8, C, and D will comprise the 28 units of independent living Of the
28 units, 26 will be efficiencies and two units will be one bedroom units.
Occupancy has been determined to be one person per efficiency and two persons
for the one bedroom.
PROJECT DATA:
Existing 16 Units 128 Trips/Day
Number of Employees (A maximum of 4 4 Trips/Day
employees from off site arriving for work
and leaving at the end of a shift)
Visitors (Maximum assumption 1 visitor per 25 Trips/Day
every 2 residents/Day)
On -site Staff Personnel (Apartments set 16 Trips/Day
Aside for Employees)
On -site Mass Transportation Van 10 Trips/Day
Deliveries 4 Trips/Day
On -site Residents (Assume 60% for Res- 68 Trips/Day
idents to have autos. 17 at I the typical
residential trip generation)
Total Site Traffic 255 Trips/Day
SUMMARY: Three major findings are apparent: with this design dedicated to
senior living.
First: Traffic is reduced at least by 25 percent from the initial design due
to the housing type and age of the resident.
Second: Trips generated from this portion of the site will tend to be off-
peak traffic since the population will be beyond the typical employment ages.
Third: An additional benefit to the residents is the on -site public transpor-
tation provided by the facility. With the on -site system personal services
and recreational opportunities not satisfied on site can be provided on a
mass basis.
