MEETING DATE: October 5, 1987
ITEM: Nursing Home Facility in the Centre For Advanced Technology
APPLICANT: The Everitt Company, c/o Jim Gefroh, Gefroh-Hattman, Inc., 135 W.
Swallow Drive, Fort Collins, CO 80525
LAND USE DATA: 120 bed full care nursing home facility on 3.9 acres located
south of the New Mercer Ditch and northeast of the approved
office park (C.A.T. 3rd Filing). Building would be 30,000
square feet.
1. There is currently no electrical service to the site. Service is being
planned and may be available later this Fall. All typical development
changes would apply. Please contact Light and Power in order to coordinate
the location of. facilities.
2. The Building Department would expect the building to be fully sprin-
klered and equipper] with all the necessary life safety items such as smoke
alarms, number of exits, fire alarms, etc.
3. The Utility Plan will need to be signed off by the New Mercer Ditch Com-
pany.
4. The variance handout is enclosed i° a radius less than 240 on the loop
street is requested.
5. Storm Drainage will be an issue. On -site detention will be required as
will a drainage report signed by a licensed engineer. There will need to be
coordination with the planned detention on the office park area.
6. The existing Traffic Impact Analysis will have to be amended or updated
so that the proposed use is accounted for in the analysis. Please submit a
letter from the traffic consultant which indicates that the original study
for the master plan is sufficient and that the proposal is in compliance
with the existing study.
7. Please be aware that the access points that are granted today will
become factors in determining future access points to future parcels. It
may be a good idea to consider the eastern access point to someday become a
dual access which could also serve area #2.

8. The parking bay on the east .side of the site leaves very little room for
anything but a fence for buffering or screening. This would encumber area
#2 to provide the buffering treatment. Perhaps this could he investigated
and more area or treatment be devoted to screening the parking lot.
9. The site plan will need to include handicap, motorcycle, and bicycle
parking.
1.0. Since there are significant trees along the New Mercer Ditch, it would
be a good idoa to incorporate a variety of landscape plantings to promote a
"backyard habitat". This would attract a number of different species of
birds which could become a valuable asset to the residents of the facility.
11. The overall concept of the Centre for Advanced Technology seems to be
evolving. This would be an appropriate time to officially amend the master
plan. The current- master_ plan on file is becoming obsolete.
12. A neighborhood meeting will not be required. However, it strongly
encouraged that the Prospect -Shields Neighborhood Association be contacted
to be kept abreast of the proposal.

Dear Mr. Gefroh:
The Planning Staff has reviewed the request for preliminary and final PUD
approval for the Greenfield Nursing Care Facility at the Centre For Advanced
Technology, 5th filing, and offers the following comments:
1. The appropriate point chart would be "Residential Uses", point chart H
of the L.D.G.S.
2. Unless energy conservation points are needed (item k of the Density
Chart), it appears Note #7 would be redundant. Please delete this note if
energy points are unnecessary.
3. The driveway access easement on the east side of the site should also
include the portion of the driveway west of the property line,
4. The pennission of the ditch company must be obtained on the utility
plans to authorize the proposed work in the area of the ditch easement.
5. The suffix of "Court" may be inappropriate since Worthington will have
two intersections with Centre Avenue. The U.S. Post Office may require that
the suffix be changed to "Circle". Please contact Mr. Mike Spurgin at the
U.S.P.O. at 482-2837 to discuss in detail.
6. If there are any existing trees on the south side of the ditch, please
indicate on the landscape plan.
7. When selecting the grow ndcover mixture for the detention pond, please
consider grasses that would respond well to periodic innundation.
8. Two fire hydrants are required. One at the front of the site and the
other at the rear.

9. The eight foot wide utility easement adjoining the northerly R.O.W.
line of Worthington Court that is shown on the site plan is not shown on the
plat. This easement needs to also be shown on the plat.
10. Please indicate raised concrete curbing around the parking lot lands-
caping.
11. It would be to the developer's advantage to use raw ditch water to pro-
vide irrigation rather than treated water.. If this option is viable, the
City Water and Sewer Department may be able to assist in the distribution.
Please contact Mr. Webb Jones of the Water and Sewer Department at 221-6681.
12 The signature block on the plat for the Planning and Zoning Board is
missing the signature line.
13. There has been discussion regarding the future bike path that would
serve the entire Centre for Advanced Technology. It is recognized that at
some point in the phasing of development, provisions will have to be made to
accommodate this amenity. Also, the developer should be aware that a simi-
tar nursing home facility has been proposed on the adjacent parcel to the
north. Good planning, therefore, would dictate that any future bicycle/
pedestrian path make some effort to connect the two facilities since the
residents are unlikely to drive.
This concludes staff comments at this time. In order to keep both the pre-
liminary and final aspects of the request on schedule, please note the fol-
lowing deadlines for the December 14, 1987 Planning and Zoning Board Hear-
ing:
Plan revisions are due November 25, 1987. (6 copies)
PM1" s, colored renderings, and 10 prints are due December 7, 1987.
Final signed mylars, and the development agreement are due 12-10-87.
Please feel free to call if there are any questions or concerns.
Sincerely,
Ted Shepard
City Planner
