Purchase and Sale Agreement for Acquisition of Land to be used for Senior Care Campus Jill Klostermann, Housing Ms. Klostermann expressed excitement for the acquisition of land that if approved would be used for a senior care campus in Eagle Ranch called the Castel Peak Senior Care Community of Eagle Ranch. She thanked the Citizen's Advisory Committee for helping to choose the name. Getting a senior care facility built in the county had been a top priority over the last couple of years. A recent market study demonstrated a strong need for this product. The county has been working with Augustana Care Corporation, a Minnesota non - profit which would be active in designing, building and operating the project. Phase 1 would include 64 units, 22 skilled nursing units, 20 assisted living apartments, 12 memory care units and 10 transitional care /rehab beds. Depending on future needs, phase 2 could include additional assisted living apartments and independent living homes. The campus would serve residents of all economic levels. The purchase price was $1,600,000. The closing date was scheduled for December 31, 2012. The total cost was estimated to be $20.6 million. Eagle County agreed to contribute some equity, which would not be general fund dollars but from the refinance of Lake Creek Village Apartments. Augustana Care had also committed to some equity to the project. She believed there would be a need for community support and some fundraising. Chairman Runyon encouraged community support and fundraising efforts to keep the conventional debt low. The lower the debt, the more affordable the project would be to the citizens. Tambi Katieb, land planner spoke about the property. The property was interconnected with other land uses by way of sidewalks and pedestrian paths above and below the site. The property fit within the community 4 07/24/2012 master plan objectives and was an excellent site with plenty of room for growth. Utilities were at the site. The site was flat and easily constructible. Commissioner Fisher asked if the Sylvan Square residents were aware of the proposal. Ms. Klostermann stated that they had not notified those residents yet but had been in talks with the school district as Augustana was excited about the opportunity to have the intergenerational mix and having a strong relationship with the school. Mr. Katieb presented some photos of the property. The site plan concept was presented but was still pending. Gaius Nelson explained the components of the project. The common area would be located at the end of Capital Street. There would be a separate entrance for each of the housing and living components but would have an interior connection point. The assisted living and part of the health care facility would be 2- story. Future phases would include additional assisted living and independent living units. Sherry Dorward, the landscape architect spoke. The Commons facility would connect the different care components and would be a place that would interact most with the public. The views provided some design potential. Mr. Nelson stated that they would be meeting with the Eagle Ranch design review board to begin the process of integrating the campus within the Eagle Ranch master plan. Commissioner Fisher hoped that a rehabilitation center concept would be considered as well. She was impressed with the space. She wondered if underground passage between Freestone and the independent living facility had been considered. Ms. Dorward believed that would be very expensive and she found that some people preferred not to use them for safety reasons. Mr. Nelson believed there might be a way to connect the independent living facility to the west side. Commissioner Fisher hoped that the open -air transitions would be considered. Ms. Klostermann stated that this property was the best fit at the best price and they were still discussing many of the details. Realistically they could begin construction next fall. The financing was the biggest piece. The project team was excited about moving forward and they hope to meet the timelines with a ground breaking next fall. Commissioner Stavney believed this was a very exciting day. He explained that these core services might promote other senior services nearby. He acknowledged the Citizens Advisory Committee for the name selection. Ms. Mauriello stated that the first step was the earnest money deposit of $30,000 when the contract was executed. The next step would be the title review, appraisal, and soil samples performed by the October 5"' deadline at which time an additional $30,000 would be required. There was still an enormous amount of work to be done. The contract did allow for some off -ramps along the way. Chairman Runyon believed it was important that people understood that this board did not want to operate this type of facility, which is why Augustana was selected. The county was still looking at other mechanisms for the ownership. The county would invest a significant amount of housing dollars to get this done. He believed the need was critical. He wondered about pedestrian traffic crossing on the main roads. He also asked about the possibility of childcare within the facility and encouraged interaction and engagement between youth and seniors. Commissioner Fisher spoke about adult daycare and the possibility of an interfaith chapel. This has been a needed addition to the community for many years. She felt confident and excited about the opportunity. Chairman Runyon opened public comment. Scott Turnipseed voiced his personal support forthhe.pro^j`ect. He would do whatever was needed to make this a smooth process.;> Phil Onofrio, Chief Financial Officer for the Eagle Count3 School District spoke': @ He t$eheved that the project looked like an interesting opportunity next to the sehooJ Be el ved "itwoi would be ''nice for seniors to have kids walk through their community. The only concern he had was for traffic. Commissioner Stavney understood the Brush Creek Elementary School was severely under - parked. He believed there was an opportunity to work together and add some parking for the school through this project. Chairman Runyon believed something could be done to address the parking issue. He was thrilled with the new site. Chairman Runyon closed public comment. 5 07/24/2012 Commissioner Fisher moved to approve the purchase and sale agreement for acquisition of land to be used for the Senior Care Campus. Commissioner Stavney seconded the motion. The vote was declared unanimous.
