If the planning authority issued a certificate of need, the
proponent had 6 months to submit a construction plan for the
facility. Once the planning authority reviewed and approved the
plan, construction was required to commence within 2 months after
the approval of the plan and had to be completed within 1 year
after the approval of the plan. Failure to meet these deadlines
would result in forfeiture of the certificate of need.
In 1980, Adult Living Centers submitted an application to
the planning authority for a certificate of need for the Van
Orden project. The application requested approval for
construction of a new 90-bed multifunctional facility in Muskogee
with an estimated construction cost of $1,092,455. Petitioner
was listed on the application (and introduced at the planning
authority's hearing on the certificate of need) as the proposed
medical director for the facility.
The project did not have any commitments from lenders at the
time the application was submitted, but the application indicated
that petitioner's family members were the principal interested
investors in the project. The application included a letter from
petitioner stating that his family had reviewed the Van Orden
proposal and was interested in the investment opportunity. The
application also included a letter from Liberty National Bank and
Trust Co. of Oklahoma City verifying that petitioner's family had
financial resources available for an investment in the Van Orden
