' BOARD OF APPEALS HEARING December 7, 1965 Pine Crest Nursing Home Mr. Nickerson read notice. Mr. Nickerson: You have provided us with a plot plan of this area by John J. Sullivan, dated Oct. 1964, showing the existing rest home as built and activated, and the greenhouse at the rear for which we gave a permission a short time ago, and then the proposed addition 100 ft. x 44 ft. extending from the right hand side to within 30 ft. of the side line toward Peacock Farm. Do you wish to enlarge on this? Mr. Cataldo: We have a rough sketch of what it will look like. Mr. Sullivan, Engineer. These are the elevations of the wing and the floor plans of the wing.,; It would add 13 rooms, all the same size and ..similar in detail to the present 2 -bed room s. All provide baths. This is a one-story addition, brick construction like the present dormitory. The windows are wider in the rooms and smaller in the bath- rooms. Mrs. Morey: With this construction you could put a second story on. Ripley: Is that why you kept the roof flat? Cataldo: I don't intend to put on a second story - it costs too much. Ripley: At the present rate of expansion have you any idea how long this would be sufficient? Cataldo: I hope it will be sufficient. I don't want to carry any more. Nickerson: I hope it would be,because from the plot plan the only thing is to go up. Cataldo: Most likely this will be it - because if you go up it means that you have to have additional nursing assistance through the build- ing which raises the upkeep; elevators, etc. It would be a major con- struction problem just to construct the elevators themselves. Nickerson: I understand one of the reasons you have asked for this addition is that you are filled up, or nearly so. Cataldo: We don't have any singles. Nickerson: This one story will work just as well with additional beds and no further overhead? Cataldo: The only thing would be nurses. The kitchen would be the same, and administration.
