the additional parking spaces for those individuals that come and go.

with a site plan and description of what we are doing. We have not received any recent comments from them.

Committee Comments:
Laura: Who's responsible to expand the existing pond and to maintain it? Rachel: They would have to create a
maintenance agreement with Point Blank. Alex Bennett: Yes,we would work with Point Blank to come up with a
maintenance agreement. Laura: Has this type of agreement been done before in the City? Rachel: I'll get more info on
places that do it. It's not uncommon to do this,we just don't hear about them since they are done by the developers.
Josh: Reach out to John Thomas to work out a formula. Brad: Can we make this agreement a condition? John
IMolitor: Yes. Alan: Will this be a detention or retention pond? Will any water be discharged off this site? Where will
this water go? Alex Bennett: The pond itself will sheet to the existing drainage. The pond does hold water in the event
of a large rainfall,and it will discharge when needed. Alan: We had a problem before at Merchants Square where water
was being retained across Keystone. Water was then discharged away from it and the City or County didn't take
responsibility. We need to define in the beginning who is responsible for the maintenance of this pond. Bring this with
you to the Committee meeting. Alex Bennett: Engineering has reviewed our plans. This pond does hold water, and it

does flow downward to the drainage. This responsibility of maintenance and upkeep will remain with the property
owner.
Alan: Do you have a graphic of the monument sign for Point Blank? Alex Bennett: They do not have a monument sign.
We are allowed a second sign. We are willing to work with the Planning Department and Point Blank on a co-branded
sign. We have a conceptual sign and we will bring it to the Committee meeting. In later date,we will have to follow up
with a formal proposal and approval from the Planning Department.
Alan: Are the access roads to this facility private or public? Alex Bennett: They are private.
Alan: What type of patients will you serve? Alex Bennett: This is for accident rehab, and not drug&alcohol rehab. A
typical scenario would be for a patient who had a stroke and they would come here to get better. Our typical length of
stay is 10-12 days. It's a fully functional overnight hospital. Alan: Is there an emergency room? Alex Bennett: No
Josh:
• When you talk to John Thomas and Point Blank about the expansion of detention pond area,talk about
naturalizing the edges as natural buffers.
• There's a walking path around Wellbrooke's pond to the northwest. This is a nice feature and amenity that you
can have at your facility. I would like you to have some pedestrian connectivity to this walking path. The City
can help with this process.
• What kind of pedestrian walk is around your building, if a patient wants to walk around the building? We can
discuss this at the Committee meeting.
Brad: What will be your street address? Alex Bennett: It would be a City Center Drive address as given to us at TAC.
Rachel: That is correct.
A Motion by Sue and seconded by Tom forward Docket No. 19040006 to the June 27 Commercial Committee with
final voting authority.
