Appeals have been filed to two recent decisions made by the Warren County Planning and Zoning Commission related to proposals for a drug and alcohol treatment facility and a track hosting motorsports events.Both appeals were received by the county clerk’s office Jan. 29, the last day an appeal could be filed, according to County Clerk Barb Daly. An appeal had to be submitted within 10 days of the planning and zoning’s decision.Husch Blackwell, a St. Louis-based law firm, is representing parties in both appeals.At its last meeting Jan. 21, the P&Z board denied a conditional use permit to allow the 24-hour in-patent rehab facility to open in Dutzow, while approving a two-year permit for a proposed track that will host mud bog and truck and tractor pulls southwest of Pendleton.No dates have been set for when the county commission will hear the appeals. On Tuesday, commissioners said both hearings will be held on different days and will likely be in the evening.On Jan. 21, P&Z members voted to deny a conditional use permit to Catholic Camps of America/Rockyvine, which operates a youth retreat program at 10454 Voelkerding Road, off Highway TT in Dutzow. They said not enough detailed information was presented to approve the permit.Summit Behavioral Healthcare proposed to lease the 130-acre property so it can be used as a 24-hour treatment center. The facility would voluntarily treat persons 18 and older who are addicted to drugs and alcohol. Approximately 70 patients could be housed on the campus, according to the proposal.The appeal notice outlines how Summit will staff the facility, care for patients and the benefits of the facility opening in the county.Summit officials said an estimated $1 million in renovations and upgrades will be undertaken to improve the campus facilities. Summit has other treatment facilities in California, Texas, Louisiana and Pennsylvania. The company is based in Tennessee.Neighboring property owners have strongly opposed the proposed treatment facility. They raised concerns about property values plummeting and a climb in criminal activity. They also felt the proposal lacked a defined plan assuring patients would not leave the campus and trespass onto nearby properties.Track opposed by neighborsAlso at the Jan. 21 planning and zoning meeting, MSA Heath, LLC, owned by George and Dana Heath, was issued a two-year conditional use permit to open the track facility. The property is located at 25545 State Highway BB outside of Pendleton.Stipulations placed on the permit include limiting the number of events to be held during a year and the hours of operation.A group opposing the track, Citizens for the Safety of Warren County, LLC, primarily comprised of neighboring property owners, are concerned the track will “severely diminish the overall quality of life in the community,” according to the appeal notice. Members feel the events will increase traffic on Highway B and pose a risk for other motorists, particularly if alcohol is consumed by drivers leaving the track facility.Also, concerns were raised that the track may diminish property values, leading to littering in the area and may impact wildlife in the area.A sanctioned organization will run the mud bogs or truck/tractor pulls, according to the Heaths.Warren County Commissioners
