Dear Mrs. Allen:
Staff has reviewed your requcst for a personal board and care group home for the
elderly at 2607 Dunbar. The following comments are items which must be
resolved prior to the Planning and Zoning Board hearing on September 26, 1988:
1. As we have discussed, the property is zoned R-L-P which allows only three
clients on a lot of your size (6,487 square feet) as a use by right subject to a
Group Home Review. Your request, however, is for 4 or 5 clients. Four
clients would require 7,500 square feet and 5 clients would require 9,000
square feet.
To reconcile your request with the City Code, you have two options. First, you
may apply to the Zoning Board of Appcals for a variance in the lot size.
Second, you may apply to the Planning and Zoning Board for a Planned Unit
Development. Staff recommends a P.U.D. from the Planning and Zoning
Board. In either case, you must present strong reasons as to why the Code
cannot be met in your particular case.
2. Since your mother would be one of the clients, it is conceivable that she
could be counted as an owner rather than a client so you could have three
clients, plus your mother, for a total of 4 as a use by right under the zoning
code . The problem with this is that should your mother decide to move or
no longer live on the premises, she could not be replaced and you would be
restricted to a total of 3 clients.
3. If you decide to apply for 4 or 5 clients under the P.U.D., then the City
would need an additional $85 to cover the application fee for review of a
P.U.D. (total cost $170).
4. At this time, we must know exactly how many clients you wish to apply for.
Will it be 3 as a use by right under the Group Home Review or 4 or 5 under
a P.U.D.? If you elect to go through the P.U.D. process, we must know
exactly if you desire 4 or 5 clients.

5. The City
Stormwater
Utility has
decided that
a storm drainage report would
not be required as
a result of
the proposed
porch and bedroom or patio.
However,
a plan should
be submitted
showing
the present and proposed loca-
tions of
roof drains.
The intent
is to maintain present drainage patterns and
therefore
not affect
the adjacent
properties.
6. There are some items that need to be added to the drawing to bring it up to
specifications for the Planning and Zoning Board. I will be glad to go over
these items in detail at your convenience. I suggest we meet to discuss all
the comments either late next week or early during the week of August 29th.
In order to stay on schedule for the September 26, 1988 Planning and Zoning
Board hearing, there are three deadlines that should be observed.
Revised plans are due September 7, 1988.
PA'IT reduction, 10 prints, and one colored rendering are due Sept. 19th.
Signed mylar of the site plan is due on September 22, 1988.
Please call to set up a meeting at a convenient time during the time frame
mentioned above.
Sincerely,
Ted Shepard
City Planner
