SWARTZENDRUBER THOMASTHORNE-THOMSEN WARREN P. WENZLOFF BY EMAIL AND REGULAR MAIL Dennis Marino Interim Director of Community Development City of Evanston Law Department 2100 Ridge Avenue Evanston, IL 60201 i Re: Request for Amendment to Special Use Permit at 2520 Gross Point Rd. Alden Estates of Evanston • Dear Dennis: As we discussed at our meeting, my client, Alden Estates of Evanston, currently operates a sheltered care home/skilled care home at the above noted location. The facility contains 99 beds. The current configuration of the facility consists of 42 skilled care beds and 57 sheltered care beds. My client has the opportunity to increase the number of skilled care beds at the facility to 52. This would thereby reduce the number of sheltered care beds to 47. The special use which permits the operation of the facility was originally granted in 1989 by Ordinance 147-0-89; which was later amended in 1996 by Ordinance 29-0-96. The 1996 Amendment to the Special Use authorized the current split of 42 skilled care beds and 57 sheltered care beds. Alden requests that the City approve another amendment to the Ordinance to change the bed mix to 52 skilled care beds and 47 sheltered care beds. This change will permit the facility to devote the entire third floor to skilled care. It will not, however, change the current operation of the facility because the third floor currently operates as a skilled care floor even though only 42 of the 52 beds on that floor are occupied by skilled care patients. Alden is able to increase the number of skilled care beds to 52 without an amendment to its Certificate of Need or the issuance of a new Certificate of Need by the Health Facility Planning Board. This is important because Section 2(a) of the 1996 Ordinance provides that changes to the operation of the facility which necessitate an amendment to the Certificate of APPLEGATE & THORNE-THOMSEN A PROFESSIONAL CORPORATION • Dennis Marino July 13, 2009 Page 2 Need or a new Certificate of Need require a new special use under the Evanston Zoning Ordinance. It is my understanding that you, in consultation with the law department, have determined that an amendment to the existing special use may be considered directly by the City Council Committee on Planning and Development. Please accept this letter as Alden's formal request to schedule a hearing with the Planning and Development Committee to consider the proposed amendment to the existing special use permit. If you have any questions or need of other information, please do not hesitate to call. :7 SDF/ds cc: Elke Tober-furze Ken Cox Bill Dunkley Randi Schullo 91444 (revised) 0 Very ly you , teven Friedland E • •
