SUBJECT:
An Ordinance amending Section 10-2-1 of the City Code as it relates to the definitions
for private school and public school - CONTINUED
DATE:
July 12,2011
INTRODUCTION
This item was brought to the Commission at its June 14, 2011 regular meeting at which time the Commission
motioned to table the item until July 12, 2011. The Commission was uncomfortable with the proposed
amendment as they did not have enough information regarding the clinic to make an informed decision.
DISCUSSION / REVIEW
Independent School District 192 is in the process of constructing a clinic within the Farmington High School
located at 20655 Flagstaff Avenue. The High School property is zoned R-1 (Low Density Residential) and a
clinic is neither a permitted or conditional use in this particular zoning district.
Attached to this memorandum, please find information provided from the School District regarding the on-site
clinic.
Staff is proposing to amend the zoning definitions for public and private schools to include verbiage regarding
clinics as accessory uses that serve the employees and their dependents of the school district. By amending the
definition as proposed in the attached ordinance, this would allow a clinic use within a school facility while not
allowing them on non-school related properties within the City's residential zoning districts.
ACTION REOUESTED
Recommend approval of the attached ordinance amending the zoning definitions for public school and private
school and forward that recommendation on to the City Council.
Respectfully submitted,

Farmington Area Public Schools
On-site Clinic
Background
In the spring of2011, the Farmington Area Public Schools contracted with NeoPath Health
Systems to manage, promote and staff an on-site medical clinic for district employees and
dependents on the district's health insurance plan. The district health insurance provider is
Medica.
Access to the clinic if offered free of charge and there are no deductibles or co-pays for patrons.
Patients have flexibility to use their existing providers in tandem with the clinic, or they may be
referred to local medical providers such as the Family Health Clinic, Farmington. The clinic
offers 30 medications for patrons without cost along with offering services typically expected
from a family practice doctor. The clinic is not a service for students, unless they are a
dependent on a parent's health care plan offered through the Farmington Area Public Schools.
Patrons schedule visits in 30 minute time increments on-line at www.hellohealth.com. Patients
should experience little or no waiting time at the clinic and six parking spots, including one
handicapped stall is planned adjacent to the door for easy access. Additional parking for staff is
available in the visitor's parking area near the front of the school if needed.
The clinic serves to both control medical insurance costs for the district and the employee along
with serving as a resource to improve the health of district staff, where 80% of all operating
funds are spent. Remodeling costs for the space were provided through a grant from Medica.
Farmington employee insurance costs were projected and budgeted to increase by 8% this year, a
number which has been reduced to 06% due to innovation in employee health benefits.
Location of Clinic
Farmington High School, Room 1113
. There is a separate exterior entrance for the clinic and adjacent parking planned.

On-site
health
care
The Three Cs:
convenlence, care, cost
By Joseph McErlane Jr.
~~..
. .
, ~ '1\ n-site health care is a rapidly
II h growing trend in the United
..\. ".Y States. As employers, employees,
and their families face continually
increasing health care expenses, they are
searching for solutions. Countless organi-
zations have promoted health manage-
ment programs, managed networks, and
high-deductible health plans as means of
cost containment. To truly lower medical
expenses, it is necessary to improve over-
all health and to provide more efficient,
timely, and easier access to medical care.
In the past, on-site health care-pro-
viding clinics at the workplace-has been
viewed by many as being available only
to the largest employers. Today that con-
cept has changed. On-site health care
exists in hundreds of workplaces around
the country; small- and medium-size

clinic management organization can
begin the evaluation process for any
business considering an on-site clinic.
It is widely believed that high-
deductible health plans such as HSAs
are going to be a large component of
employee health benefits in the future.
Providing the workforce with free
primary and preventive medicine at an
on-site clinic may mitigate the pain of
this transition. By removing overhead,
papelwork. and general operational
activities in the traditional clinic, one can
achieve a level of efficiency that allows
for the removal of administration costs
for copays and deductibles. This leads to
happier workers who can save their
copay/ deductible dollars fOl- when they
need them most. In the CUlTent economic
times, any form of monetary savings is
appreciated. What is uniquely interesting
about the on-site clinic model is the
opportunity for the employer to provide
a game-changing, highly-valued benefit
for employees that is financially viable-
and, in reality, is the right thing to do.
To examine the possibility of installing
an on-site clinic, I suggest reviewing
the three Cs of on-site health care: con-
venience. care, and cost.
Convenience
Convenient and timely access to medical
professionals is getting increasingly
difficult. The Journal of the American
Medical Association reported in October
that only 2 percent of medical students
are going into ptimary care practice.
This reduction in primary care physi-
cians will inherently change how we
receive health care in the future. The
employer has a unique opportunity to
provide a dedicated medical team for
employees and their dependents. From
~r ~
It
employers are now providing convenient
access to care at little to no cost to their
employees. Providing an on-site clinic
can reap benefits beyond financial
returns. Rewards for the organization
can go well beyond costs.
Clinics are springing up at busi-
nesses; school districts; municipalities;
and for white-, gray-, and blue-collar
occupations. The on-site clinic is not
confined to or defined by a specific
industry. Businesses with 250 employees
to 1,000 employees are beginning to
adopt the on-site clinic model. As their
clinics mature, even the smaller organi-
zations are reeling in return on their
investment. Not all employers have the
time, means, expertise, or general know-
how to begin the process of placing a
clinic in the worksite. An independent

the employees' per-
spective, they no
longer have to
leave work, sit in a
waiting room, and
waste hours of time
to see the doctOl:
Moreover, the mes-
sage being sent to
the workforce is
quite simple: We
have placed a medical team on site to
provide you with highly accessible rou-
tine medical care, preventive medicine,
and health education. This very powerful
message should not be taken lightly.
Care
A significant advantage the on-site clinic
gains over conventional clinic models is
the opportunity for the medical team to
spend increased time with the patient.
A routine office visit today usually lasts
seven to 10 minutes before the doctor is
out the door and on to the next patient.
When revenue requirements and produc-
tivity metrics are removed, the medical
team can spend the necessary time focus-
ing on the patient's underlying issues.
Successfully recruiting the "right"
medical professionals for the on-site
clinic is a delicate process. Careful
selection and matching of a medical
team and other medical resources is
needed to best fit with the employer's
health care needs, culture, and day-to-
day business practices. If contracting
with a third party for clinic manage-
ment, the goal should be selecting the
right team. The employer should feel
they have a "doc in the family."
Cost
As with most business decisions, an
initial investment is required. The exact
sum largely depends on the needs of
the workforce and the appetite of the
company. Clinics can be constructed for
as little as $20,000 and costs grow from
there depending on the facility and
needs. Monthly fees are billed for the
independent on-sitc clinic managcl: This
fee varies depending on the personnel
choscn for the clinic.
For the medical staff, a combination
of physician and
midlevel provider
(e.g., physician
assistant or advance
practice nurse) is
I'ecommended. Though
these dollars may be
seen as a cost to the
employel~ in actuality
they are a redirection
of current health plan
expenses.
In an on-site clinic,
the medical team gains
accurate medical infonnation about
prevalent chronic diseases and the oppor-
tunity for early detection of large, com-
plex claims. Early identification of what
would otherwise be a large "shock claim,"
combined with health management from
clinicians, supports business goals for
lowering the health plan's medical costs.
Furthennore, as the workforce consis-
tently taps into the knowledge and health
resources on site, they become educated
consumers of health services, which low-
ers unnecessary medical services.
Additional outcomes of an on-site
clinic include a reduction in absenteeism
and an increase in productivity/morale.
Health data captUl'ed in this environment
can become a significant resource for
human resource professionals as they
examine yearly health plan expenses and
design the health plan going forward.
Having a physician influence the benefit
plan design based on the evolving health
needs of the workforce will lead to
efficiencies and savings both short- and
long-tenn.
Pitfalls to avoid
Independence from potential conflicts of
interest is important for these clinics.
I
The on-site clinic manager should derive
its revenue solely from the clinic manage-
ment services provided and not from
referring ancillary or complementary
services. The clinic manager's objectives
must be aligned with the employer's
objectives. Referrals (when appropriate)
should be focused on "in-network" spe-
cialists, as this will support out-of-pocket
exposure to the employee and allow the
employer to maximize negotiated fee
schedules in the existing health plan.
Certain clinic management compa-
nies are developing unique relationships
with regional
Centers of
Excellence with

ific tests and

Clinic goals are
best realized when
the management
company solution
effectively inte-
grates data from various benefit sources
and develops a continuum-of-carel
employee-engagement strategy authored
by clinicians.
Effective communication and sup-
port of the clinic to the employees is
essential to the success of the program;
employees should be rewarded for their
participation in the clinic. Building it
doesn't necessarily mean they will come.
An effective communication campaign
with an incentive program will yield
highly favorable results. The clinic must
meet all privacy and HIPAA require-
ments to mitigate any concel11S employ-
ees may have. Actively communicating
compliance with state and federal laws
will alleviate fears of privacy invasion in
the workplace. Finally, to ensure trans-
parency in all transactions, the clinic
manager should pass on any supplies or
medications necessary for a clinic set-
ting to the employer at cost. ~

Proposed Use - Commercial Child Davcare
Laura Mitchell & Angela DeAndriano of Magnificent Me Child Care and Curriculum Center are proposing to operate a
commercial child daycare center in the B-1 Zoning District. The address of the building where the daycare is proposed to
be located is 19645 Pilot Knob Road. The daycare would occupy approximately 4,300 square feet of the building space.
According to the applicants, the preschool classroom currently has 17 children enrolled and has a maximum capacity of
60 children (3 classrooms). The school-aged classroom currently has 6 children enrolled and has a maximum capacity of
40 children (2 classrooms). The infant class has 3 children on a waiting list and has a maximum capacity of 20 children.
The toddler class has 4 children on a waiting list and has a maximum capacity of 30 children. In addition to the owners,
the daycare facility will have 2 preschool teachers, a school-age teacher, and a part-time aide. Additional staff will be
hired as needed for the infant and toddler rooms. The hours of operation are proposed to be from 6:00 am - 6:00 pm
Monday thru Friday.
The applicants are proposing to fence in an area on the west side of the building (see attached site plan) across the parking
lot of the front of the building space for a play area. The applicants are proposing two possible locations for the play area
including the preferred location in the parking lot which would require the removal of 9 parking spaces. This location
contains 1,620 s.f. measured at 18' x 90'. The alternate play area is contains approximately 3,600 s.f. and measures 20' x
180'. These are the only two locations that are available on the lot since the rear of the building is approximately 12 feet
to the property line. Bollards have been required on other CUP's for play areas and should be considered for this location.
The proposed daycare location is within the B-1 (Highway Business) Zoning District and is subject to the City's off-street
parking requirements. Section 10-6-4 of the City Code outlines the off-street parking requirements based on property use.
These requirements are enforced when a new use is established or an existing use is enlarged on a property. Commercial
child daycare centers are not specifically identified in the parking standards. Off-street parking will be accommodated by
the existing on-site parking lot. There are approximately 78 off-street parking stalls found on site even with the removal
of 9 parking spaces. This is an adequate amount of parking to accommodate the proposed use.
The City Code provides criteria that must be met in order for the Planning Commission to approve a Conditional Use
Permit. Those criteria are as follows:
1. The proposed use conforms to the district permitted and conditional use provisions and all general regulations of
this title.
A Commercial Child Daycare Center is a conditional use in the B-1 Zoning District.
2. The proposed use shall not involve any element or cause any conditions that may be dangerous, injurious or
noxious to any other property or persons and shall comply with the applicable performance standards.
The proposed use of the play area may create a dangerous situation by having to walk across the parking lot to
get to the play area and therefore, does not meet this requirement.
3. The proposed use shall be constructed, designed, sited, oriented and landscaped to produce a harmonious
relationship of buildings and grounds to adjacent buildings and properties.
The proposed use will occupy a portion of an existing building. Therefore, this requirement is non applicable in
this instance.
4. The proposed use shall produce a total visual impression and environment which is consistent with the
environment of the neighborhood.
Again, the proposed use is to occupy a portion of an existing building. The use will not affect the visual
impression and environment of the retail neighborhood
5. The proposed use shall organize vehicular access and parking to minimize traffic congestion in the neighborhood.
The offstreet parking standards do not identify a requirement for a commercial child daycare center. The use
will utilize the existing parking lot servicing the site.
6. The proposed use shall preserve the objectives ofthis title and shall be consistent with the comprehensive plan.
The proposed use is consistent with the City's Comprehensive Plan.
ACTION REQUESTED
Determine if the proposed daycare and play area meet the criteria for a Conditional Use Permit. If the CUP is approved
the following conditions would apply:
1. A sign permit application shall be required for any signage to be placed on site.
2. The applicant's shall obtain all necessary building permits that may be necessary for the proposed use.
3. Provide safety measures to utilize play area.
4. A layout of the play area shall be submitted to the City for filing.

Conditional Use Permit
Angela DeAndriano and Laura Mitchell are relocating Rising Stars Preschool to a larger
facility and renaming it Magnificent Me Child Care and Curriculum Center. It will
occupy approximately 4300 sq. ft. of space. Business hours are 6:00am - 6:00pm
Monday -Friday. The center will continue to provide exceptional care to its preschool
and school-age children and also open an infant and toddler class to expand their business
to all ages. A private tutor will be hired to facilitate the school-age classroom and offer
tutoring to children of all ages in the community. We are also in discussion and planning
to open a room and offer assistance to the children in the community who have
developmental issues such as autism and behavioral disorders.
The preschool classroom currently has 17 children enrolled and has a maximum capacity
of 60 children (3 classrooms). The school-age classroom currently has 6 children
enrolled and has a maximum capacity of 40 children (2 classrooms). The infant class has
3 children on a waiting list and has a maximum capacity of 20 children. The toddler class
has 4 children on a waiting list and has a maximum capacity of 30 children.
Magnificent Me has two owners - Laura and Angela, as well as 2 preschool teachers, a
school-age teacher and a part-time aide. Additional staff will be hired for the infant and
toddler rooms.
An outside play area will be constructed on the southwest comer of the parking lot. The
play area will be fenced in and be 1500 sq. feet (30x50) in size.

SUBJECT: Fairhill AUAR Update
DATE: July 12,2011
INTRODUCTION
The City of Farmington has informed the Astra/Genstar Partnership that an update to the existing
Alternative Urban Areawide Review (AUAR) needs to be performed on the Fairhill property. The
original AUAR was approved on January 20, 2004 with an update completed on August 21, 2006.
Section 4410.3610 of the EQB Rules states a review of the AUAR must be updated every five years
until all development in the area has been approved; therefore an update needs to be completed by
August 21,2011.
DISCUSSION
The Alternative Urban Areawide Review (AUAR) process substitutes for any EA W or EIS required for specific
qualifying projects. The review's key feature is that its subject is a development scenario for an entire
geographical area rather than a specific project.
An AUAR must be updated every five years until all development in the area has been approved. An update
need not start "from scratch," but rather needs only to revise information in the original documents to the extent
necessary to reflect changes that have occurred. Astra Genstar Partnership agreed to hire Bonestroo, Rosene,
Anderlik & Associates to perform the AUAR Update.
The revisions required in the Fairhill 2011 update are minimal throughout the document except for the
transportation section which required a total rewrite due to the construction of 195th Street. The following is a
synopsis of the revisions to the 2011 Update:
. Figure 5-6 replaces Figure 5-5 concerning the most current land use map.
. Low, low-medium, and medium density residential ranges were updated as shown III the 2030
Comprehensive Plan.
. 195th Street and the roundabout were discussed in the 2011 update as being completed.
. Diamond Path Road still remains in the AUAR as a planned roadway, but staff will continue to review
its feasibility for cost and construction.
. The channel realignment of North Creek was discussed in the 2011 update.
. The entire Transportation Section has been revised in the 2011 update to include the completion of 195th
Street.
Once the Planning Commission and City Council recommends approval of the 2011 update, the document will
be sent to the EQB and reviewing agencies for a 30-day comment period. If comments are received, staff will
prepare responses and another 10-day review period on the responses will commence. Once comments and
responses are approved, the Final AUAR and Mitigation Plan will go in front of the Planning Commission at a
Public Hearing and then at the City Council for final approval.
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Recommend approval of the draft F airhill 2011 Update and its distribution to the EQB and reviewing agencies and forward that
recommendation on to the City Council.
