BACKGROUND: The subject site covers an area of 207,929 feet. A six-inch water main off of Charles Street services the site. There is currently no sanitary sewer serving the property. The petitioner proposes the construction of Heritage Fields, an affordable housing development I ' for individuals with developmental disabilities. The completed development will house up to 46 adults. The proposed development will have a single access from Charles Street. The petitioner I proposes to provide transportation to supplement public transit for the residents. - I The petitioner intends to undertake the development in three phases. The first phase is the development of an eighteen one-bedroom apartment complex for clients and a two-bedroom unit I for a Resident Manager. Phase Two consists of a 10-bed group home. Phase Three consists of 19 units grouped into three buildings. A fourth building will contain offices, laundry facilities and meeting rooms. The complex will not include treatment services, as the Heritage Behavioral Health downtown offices will continue to provide such services. Regarding the impact of the development on the overall drainage of the area, the City's Engineering and Infrastructure Department will work with the petitioner on extending sewer mains to the proposed development, as well as extending sanitary sewer from the development into the North Charles Street neighborhood at a future date. In addition the petitioner proposes extending a 12-inch corrugated metal pipe across Charles Street and drain it in their proposed storm sewer system to relieve some of the storm sewer drainage problems on Charles Street.
