Zoning and Planning: 1. Comments related to the appropriate compliance issue... According to the assisted living representative and other health care attorneys these types tr of facilities do not require a Certificate of Public Need from Virginia only licensure from the Virginia Department of Social Services and local zoning approval. 2. Comments related to the justification for the need given the building size... This issue came up during our ARB Advisory Review meeting. The assisted living group —tr. explained that the building footprint is the size shown to make their business model more economically efficient and reduce the number of floors. On the contrary, if this building was a smaller footprint, then more floors would be needed as well as more staff. As shown, the building can be nestled behind the large existing trees and relate better to the surrounding character of the neighbor and rest of the development. Furthermore, having only 2 stories allows residents to enjoy greater safety, ability to interact in more programming ancTiTgrthe ability to better watch and keep safe the residents within the courtyards and on each floor. 3. Comments related to the Proffers... This issue has been addressed by Williams Mullen and includes wording that came out of the ARB Advisory Review meeting held on September 19, 2016. Revisions have been submitted to the County Attorney for review. 4. Comments related to the Neighborhood Model... This revision removes the outdated principle titled "Neighborhood Friendly Streets and Paths"with the "Multi-Modal Transportation Opportunities" principle. This can been found on Sheet 5 under General Project Information: Principles of the Neighborhood Model. 5. Comments related to the Conceptual Plan... On Sheet 1, the application number has been revised and a revision date has been added. On Sheet 4, the number of Townhomes on the different charts have been coordinated. On Sheet 5, we have updated the Neighborhood Model Principles. We have replaced the word "shall"to allow greater flexibility. Letters C,D and E have been removed under the Architectural Standards. Footnote 3 has been updated per your request. Footnote 4 has been removed and it's reference. The Front Lot Lines column in the table titled Yard Requirements by Block has been removed. As discussed, the reason for the discrepancies is due to how the tables are laid out. Some state specifics while others state ranges. According to the assisted living representative 4936 Old Boonsboro Road • Lynchburg, Virginia • 24503 • tele: 434.531.7507 email: steve@edwardsdesignstudio.com 1 of 2 Edwards designStudio Landscape Architecture and Site Planning there are expecting to have 120 total units which equates to 132 beds.
