They would like to add a garage on the north side. <br /> <br />Curtis noted the application for the garage will be heard next week by the Planning Commission. <br /> <br />McMillan asked whether there would be any outpatient services offered. <br /> <br />Miller indicated there may be some outpatient services provided and that those numbers have been <br />included in the parking calculation. The outpatient services would be a small part of the program. <br /> <br />White asked whether they have any affiliations to any of the local hospitals. <br /> <br />Miller stated they are affiliated with Fairview. <br /> <br />McMillan asked whether they have experienced any issues that result in police visiting the site, <br />particularly if it is a minor. <br /> <br />Miller stated they have not. Miller indicated they are unsure how the resident population will be split <br />among their various facilities and that it is not definite they will have any minors at this facility. Miller <br />stated if a minor was at the facility and left, they would be required to call the police. At this time they <br />are only proposing to obtain a license for treating adults. <br /> <br />McMillan asked how many parking stalls are available on site. <br /> <br />Curtis stated there are 16 parking stalls, which does include the required handicap stalls. <br /> <br />Franchot asked what type of treatment the resident would receive prior to coming to the facility. <br /> <br />Miller stated that varies on the person and that once they reach their facility, they would offer four <br />different levels of care: nonintensive outpatient, intensive outpatient, partial hospitalization or intensive <br />day program. The two intermediate care levels are only done at their St. Louis facility and there would <br />not be any intensive care services offered at this location. <br /> <br />Franchot asked approximately how many people are in need of this type of facility within a 10 or 15-mile <br />radius of Orono. <br /> <br />Miller indicated he is unable to provide that number. They have done some outreach programs in the <br />various high schools and that they estimate the number of people with eating disorders is approximately <br />eight percent of the population. <br /> <br />White asked whether food would be cooked onsite. <br /> <br />Item #02 - CC Agenda - 02/22/2010 <br />Approval of Council Minutes 02/08/2010 [Page 7 of 20]
