The proposed Rehab Facility is located on 3.19 acres in the Centre For Advanced
Technology Park. The site is bounded on the north by Centre Avenue, the east by
Worthington Avenue, the south by the proposed Market Centre P.U.D., and the west by
the approved Winslow P.U.D. Primary access to the site is from a curb cut on Centre
Avenue. The Winslow shares this access. Secondary access is gained from a shared
drive on the south side of the building providing delivery / trash services as well as
employee parking. This drive also provides service and employee access to the proposed
Steele's Market to the south.
The main function of the first floor of this building is to provide 45 beds for rehabilitation
services to those who are discharged from the hospital but still need a place to receive
therapy. The primary types of patients will be elderly and the lengths of stay will vary
until the patient is well enough to be sent home. The second floor will be a 45-bed
skilled nursing facility. The building will be staffed 24-hours and will provide nursing
care, occupational therapy, physical therapy and speech therapy. The total building floor
area is approximately 58,877 sq. ft.
Visitor parking is provided in the front of the building along with various sidewalk
connections, including one to the proposed shopping center. An outdoor therapy garden
will be incorporated at the front of the building.
Building materials will be steel lap siding, brick masonry veneer, ground face c.m.u. and
asphalt shingles on the roof. The building colors and materials will be consistent with the
adjacent existing; Worthington, Columbine Care Center West, New Mercer Commons,
and the Winslow.

Re- 90-Bed Rehab P.U.D., Centre For Advanced Technology 201h Filing — Variance to
Curb Cut Standards
Dear Mike,
This letter serves as a variance request to allow a curb cut to exceed the 35' maximum
width as indicated on Detail D-10 of the Street Design Standards. This existing curb cut
is located on Centre Avenue and lines up with another existing entrance to the north
serving New fiercer Commons. The entry consists of 2 — 15' travel lanes with an 8'
raised median. The developer of this project sees an opportunity for landscaping in this
median to enhance the entry to both The Winslow P.U.D. and The 90-Bed Rehab P.U.D.
From an Engineering standpoint, this additional driveway width does not cause an impact
to the site drainage or grading, and it provides sufficient width to allow the movements of
traffic in and out of the project. '
If you require any additional information regarding this request, please do not hesitate to
call our office at your convenience.
Sincerely,
c h. y McL;Hua
