Justus TOC July 12 Comminee
Dear Kensington G Neighbor,
DRAFT LETTER TO NEIGHBORS
I would like to personally invite you to take advantage of the many services, activities and
amenities which will be offered at the proposed Woodland Terrace Senior Living Community. Woodlawn
Terrace will be built, owned and managed by the Justus Companies, a fourth generation, family owned real
estate entity, with over one hundred years of experience. You can rest assured, if approved, the Justus
Company will build a state of the art senior community with every regard to the esthetic and environmental
conditions for which Carmel is so well known.
Woodland Terrace will offer residents and our Kensington Grove neighbors the opportunity to
enjoy a new lifestyle designed specifically for those who are 55 or older. Woodlawn Terrace will offer a
state of the art rehab facility, superb fitness center, and first -class dining, as well as educational and
entertaining activities which will make life at Woodland Terrace exceptional! The best part is; you are
invited to take part in all of the events, activities and the amenities available at Woodland Terrace.
A few of the activities residents and neighbors at other Justus owned and managed communities
are enjoying this summer include; a huge community-wide Luau, complete with Hawaiian feast, hula
dancers and Polynesian music. At Justus communities we know how much our residents love to learn, that
is why we offer a variety of different classes, such as how to create a profile, load photos, make friends
and update your status on the latest online social networking sites. Not content with a standard book club,
Justus residents are more likely to gather with friends in the hearth lounge to speak with a visiting author
who personally discusses their book during the "visiting author's book club. Other Justus residents attend
healthy cooking and nutrition classes hosted by notable local chefs, or take a yoga class specifically
designed for seniors. There are so many options for Justus residents to choose from, and soon you'll be able
to attend as well!
Although you or your loved ones may not have a current need, Woodlawn Terrace will provide 24-
hour nursing care and the capability to care for adult guests with acute medical needs or seniors recovering
from surgery needing short or long term rehabilitation services. Our promise is that every Woodlawn
Terrace resident and guest will receive five star rehabilitation care and endless hospitality as they heal and
renew in a caring environment. Residents and guests will find the Woodlawn Wellness Center is not a
typical gym. Our unique wellness goals are focused on making positive, healthy and lasting lifestyle
changes. Our wellness programs include specialty classes for those with medical conditions and are
especially geared toward seniors. Many caregivers (adult children caring for aging parents) will be
exceptionally pleased and impressed with the multiple levels of care available at Woodlawn Terrace via
advanced technology including a fully integrated healthcare software solution package.
As with all Justus communities, we encourage our neighbors to take advantage of these
neighborhood events and amenities. Further, you may be pleased to hear Woodlawn Terrace will offer
neighbors a resident referral bonus of $100 when they refer a friend or family member who moves into
Woodlawn Terrace. All we ask is that the person you refer mention your name when they first visit
Woodlawn Terrace.
We look forward to meeting our new neighbors and being a contributing member of the
neighborhood.
Sincerely,
Walter E. Justus

Hi Angie.
Following are issues /questions that I would like Justus representatives to address during our July 12 special
Subdivision Committee meeting. If appropriate, could you please forward to Justus representatives ASAP so they
can prepare responses.
1. Where/how will vehicles entering the Service Drive turn around before exiting back to Smokey Row Road? How
much backing up will trucks need to get in and out? The main issues here are pedestrian safety and noise from back-
up warning alerts on trucks. Could the petitioner provide an estimate of how many vehicles would use the service
drive each day?
2. Additional detail on the possibility of constructing the facility in two phases would be appreciated. When would
the petitioner expect to make a final decision on this? What would be done with the area shown for the two north
wings if these are not built until a future date?
3. There is some concern that site preparation and construction could possibly damage nearby residences. Pile
drivers and earth compactors are the main issues. Can the petitioner comment on this?
4. Could the petitioner comment on noise levels of the HVAC equipment and how the reduced parapet height might
affect this?
Let me know if you have questions or need more info.
Thanks,
John Adams

Vehicle Schedule for Projected Independent and Assisted Living Community
The following information is provided by the Justus Companies and (i) is offered in
order to provide a conservative projection of the anticipated vehicle deliveries that will be
necessary for the proposed project, and (ii) is based upon its considerable experience in the
ownership and management of 2,475 Independent and Assisted Living apartment homes within
Indianapolis, Indiana. Specifically, data was obtained on January 12, 2011 from two of the
Justus Companies' facilities; namely, from (i) Crestwood Village West, which accommodates
830 Independent and Assisted Living units and from (ii) Crestwood Village East, which
accommodates 496 Independent and Assisted Living units. Deliveries at both of the locations
are comparable in frequency. We, therefore, have averaged the data to provide conservative
estimates for the proposed facility.
The proposed facility provides for two points of ingress and egress for delivery, the
"main entrance or front access, and the "northeast entrance or rear access.
Main Entrance:
Office Supplies: Van, 1 time per week, typically on Wednesday.
Medications: Van, 5 to 7 times per week, dependent upon residents needs.
Northeast Entrance:
Janitorial: Small box truck, 1 time a week on Tuesdays.
Produce: Small box truck, 1 time a week on Tuesdays.
Baking Goods: Small box truck, 2 times per week on Tuesdays and Fridays.
Frozen and Fresh Consumables: Large box truck, 1 time a week on Tuesdays.
Linens: Large box truck, 1 time a week on Mondays.
Maintenance: Large box truck, 1 time weekly.
The current plan provides for trash to be contained within a trash compactor, which will
be located inside the building at the northeast entrance and will be accessible for truck pickup
on every scheduled collection day. It is anticipated the residents, whether moving into or away
from the facility, will utilize medium sized moving transports and will only utilize the main
entrance and northeast entrance to the facility.
