from:

Roger L. Stancil, Town Manager

subject:

Freedom House – Application for Special Use Permit Modification

date:

May 7, 2007

PURPOSE

Tonight, the Council continues the Public Hearing regarding a request for a Special Use Permit Modification to allow expansion of Freedom House, a group care facility, located on the west side of Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd. between Parkside Subdivision and Homestead Community Park. The purpose of this cover memorandum is to forward my recommendations to the Council for the above application. Please refer to the accompanying memorandum for additional information on this matter.

MANAGER’S REVISED RECOMMENDATION

I have reviewed and discussed the key issues with Town staff. Based on the information in the record to date, I believe that the Council could make the findings required to approve the application for a Special Use Permit Modification.

My recommendation is that the Council adopt Revised Resolution A, approving the Freedom House Special Use Permit Modification application.  The approved resolution has been revised to include the construction of a raised crosswalk on New Stateside Drive.
