� ' Page 2 of 2 Heritage Behavioral Health Center April 4, 2002 and treatment for clients. 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. 4. The proposed development will have a single access from Charles Street. The petitioner proposes to provide transportation to supplement public transit for the residents. STAFF ANALYSIS 5. The proposed development is adjacent to a high density residential use (Park City Mobile Home Park) on the south and west sides, and to a low density residential zone on the east side. Although the development will result in a somewhat higher density use, staff does not anticipate excess traffic or noise from this proposal. According to the petitioner, prospective residents will mostly be transported to and from the site, i.e. there would not be an overall increase in vehicular traffic and there will be a single point of ingress and egress. 6. Currently the neighborhood has no sanitary sewer connections or a storm water drainage system. A neighbor has contacted staff expressing concern about 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 and its neighborhood on a future date. In addition the petitioner proposes extending a 12-inch corrugated metal pipe across Charles Street and drain it in their proposed I storm sewer system to relieve some of the storm sewer drainage problems on Charles Street. '� STAFF RECOMMENDATION I� 7. The proposed development is consistent with the Decatur Urban Land Use Plan.
