The Warren County Commission will hear an appeal next week on the denial of a permit for a proposed drug and alcohol treatment center at Dutzow.The hearing will be held at 6 p.m. Thursday, March 10, in the lower level of the administration building, located at 101 Mockingbird Lane in Warrenton.In January, the county planning and zoning commission said not enough detailed information was presented and denied a request for a conditional use permit to Catholic Camps of America/Rockyvine. The property owners are wanting to lease the 130-acre property to Summit Behavior Healthcare so it can open a 24-hour in-patient rehab facility at 10454 Voelkerding Village, off Highway TT.County commissioners said testimony from supporters and opponents will be reviewed during the hearing.“It’s a new beginning,” Southern District Commissioner Hubie Kluesner said.Commissioners do not anticipate reaching a decision that night, but plan on having one made within 10 days of the hearing. According to the appeal process, they have up to 45 days to approve or deny the permit request.“It would be the right thing to do,” Northern District Commissioner Dan Hampson said. “You don’t want this to linger.”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.Summit officials said an estimated $1 million in renovations and upgrades would be undertaken to improve the campus facilities. The company has other treatment centers in California, Texas, Louisiana and Pennsylvania. It is based in Tennessee.Neighboring property owners have strongly opposed the facility. They have raised concerns about property values plummeting and a climb in criminal activity. They also felt the proposal lacked a detailed plan assuring patients would not leave the campus and trespass onto nearby properties.Appeal hearing also set on motorsports trackCounty commissioners also have scheduled an appeal hearing for 6 p.m. Thursday, March 24, to review approval of a two-year conditional use permit issued to MSA Heath, LLC.The Heaths plan to open a track hosting mud bog and truck and tractor pull events at 25545 State Highway B, located outside of Pendleton. The couple owns 690 acres in the area and will use 25 acres for the track and parking. No more than eight events can be held between March 1-Oct. 31 and the hours of operation are limited from 11 a.m.-midnight. A sanctioned organization will run the mud bogs or truck and tractor pulls, according to the Heaths.The appeal was filed by Citizens for the Safety of Warren County, LLC, a group comprised of neighboring property owners. Opponents are concerned about the amount of noise and traffic the track may bring to the area.Two tracks are planned to be built, a 400-foot-long track or pulling events and a 200-foot track for mud bogs. Guardrails will be installed to serve as a safety barrier between the tracks and the bleacher area.The property currently is pasture ground for cattle and will revert to that use in the offseason when events are not being held, the Heaths said.Warren County Administration Building
