Michael Margol submitted a new eComment.
Meeting: Planning Commission Meeting
Item: PUBLIC INPUT:
eComment: Hello, I must strongly oppose the proposed opioid-disorder treatment facility at 535
E. 1st Street. My wife and I live in the Palmwood complex, which is directly next door to the
address in question. The complex hosts about a hundred units and is easily accessible from the
street. I have serious safety concerns related to the treatment center's influx of"approximately
140 total clients...per day" into the area, including as early as 5am in the morning on weekdays,
when it is dark and residents are heading to work. Without more information about the proposed
security at the new facility, if even 1-2% of the patients decide to stick around after treatment and
wander into Palmwood, severe safety issues could occur...particularly for residents who are
elderly or of a young age. We have no 24/7 on-site security, as there has previously not been a
need. I think it must also be considered that some of the patients will remain in the area before or
after treatment. Even if not accessing our next-door residential neighborhood, several hundred
people per week would be showing up Monday - Saturday with no clear plan for what happens
afterward. Addiction is an often-desperate situation and I would anticipate further safety issues in
the immediate area, which features restaurants, shopping centers, and business offices. Thank
you for your consideration of this input.
