Applicants: - Steven M. Laufer - Promenade Senior Living
- Jennifer VanTuyl - Attorney, Cuddy & Feder LLP
Jennifer VanTuyl explained that they had been before the board previously and had received
site plan approval for an assisted living facility in part of the site. Part of the building at that
time would remain as a hotel and evaluating the project during the construction process the
applicant has determined that the project could use additional space. Therefore, the applicant
would like to eliminate the hotel use so that the assisted living space could be expanded. There
would be no increase in the number of beds. The plans are for the applicant to close on the
property prior to November 30th and has authorized the preparation of all the details for the plans
that the Village Engineer, Larry Paggi has requested and which is required under the Village
Code. We are asking the board to consider granting approval of the proposed site plan with
the hotel use being eliminated and that section of the building would be used for memory care.
