At this same location, the Shelter would connect to the 12" municipal water main. <br /> Discussions between the Shelter Foundation and the SDD would suggest that there would <br /> be no special requirements or costs to connect at this location. However, it is understood <br /> that the installation of a sewer manhole adjacent to the Shelter's connection to the SDD <br /> sewer may be necessary. <br /> ACCESS <br /> Access to the proposed facility would be from Carolyn Avenue from the east. This <br /> Hickory Point Township road is currently only 15 feet wide although right-of-way of 60 <br /> feet has been reserved. Widening the road for two-way traffic is an anticipated cost of <br /> this project. Carolyn Avenue was chosen as the access to this property after extensive <br /> analysis indicated that other avenues of access would be infeasible due to engineering <br /> and/or financial factors. <br /> EMERGENCY VEHICLES <br /> The entrance to the proposed facility will not be gated so that animal control operations <br /> can be handled on a 24-hour basis as needed. Emergency services will be able to utilize <br /> the facility parking lot in order to turn their vehicles around. <br /> SNOW RF,MOVAL <br /> A small piece of pavement will be constructed in the reserved right-of-way that lies <br /> perpendicular and South to the terminus of Carolyn Avenue. This piece of pavement will <br /> provide Hickory Point Township with the ability to adequately remove snow from this <br /> street. <br /> LANDSCAPING <br /> While the facility and its surrounding grounds have been painstakingly designed for <br /> maximum aesthetic satisfaction, it is the desire of the County to provide sufficient <br /> landscaping to minimize all aesthetic impacts on the neighboring residential properties. <br /> SPECIAL USE PERMIT RATIONALE <br /> The proposed use would be a publicly operated facility serving the needs of all of the <br /> residents of the City of Decatur and of Macon County. <br /> CITY OF DECATUR LAND USE REGULATIONS <br /> The County believes this use is entirely consistent with the land use policies of the City <br /> of Decatur. The City of Decatur Zoning Ordinance states: <br /> The City Couneil may by Ordinance grant a speeial use permit only for the <br /> following special uses in any distriet, exeept as herein qualified,fi�om which they <br /> Special Ilse Permit Applieation Page S <br />
