    Decatur Heights Neighbors Rally to Oppose 444 Sycamore

    Decatur Metro | January 23, 2010

    Dave Kell reports that he and some of his neighbors will meet tomorrow at 4pm to discuss next steps in bringing a case against the Peer Support and Wellness Center at 444 Sycamore Drive.

    Soren Christainsen has invited any interested parties to a meeting at 4 p.m. Sunday at his home at 631 Sycamore Drive [between the stop signs at Pinehurst and Fairview] to discuss developments regarding 444 Sycamore Drive and to develop a path forward.

    The City Manager has notified the Commissioners of the Staff’s determination that the operations at 444 Sycamore fall within R60 residential zoning. [See a 1/19/2010 inDECATUR post for details.] Some Decatur Heights residents don’t agree. A survey has not yet been taken, the percentage cannot be reported.

    An email sent out to neighborhood residents by Mr. Christiansen, featured on Dave’s site, goes into some detail as to their specific grievance.

    “The city’s position is that the center is legal and that 25 walk-ins a day are “visitors” and not persons receiving therapy. We disagree. The state contract makes it clear that if the center does not average at least 12 walk-ins a day that they will lose their funding. We believe this is a business.”
