Those residents anticipate n traffic increaso duo to counselors,
police, workers, etc., corning to and going from the facility,
,
they are concerned about, their safety with runaway children
residing close to them1 they' ara concerned l1bout reduced property
va~ues resulting from the operation of the proposed facility, and
they are concerned for their safety when walking to and from
local stores and banks where there are no sidewalks and pedestrians
e
have to walk in the street. In short, the Petitioner, and those
testifying in opposition to the requested special exception,
would much prefer the facility be located elsewhere than in
their neighborhood.
5. On the oth~r hand, public officials, including
police, juvenile specialists, a member of the Juvenile Welfare
Board, and an HRS official in charge of licensing youth care
,
facilities all testified that they have never experienced
,problems -:.c the neighborhood as a result of such a facility
as is here proposed, that no additional traffic is generated by
such a facility, and that with the careful screening given the
children admitted to such facility, no complaint against such
a facility has been filed subsequent to the licensing of the
faciIi ty .
CONCLUSIONS OF LAW
The Division of Administrative Hearings has jurisdic-
e
tion over the parties t~, and the subject matter of, these
proceedings.
Group care facilities are defined in Section 131.006,
Building and Zoning Regulations of Clearwater, and the proposed
facility meets that definition.
