A request for establishing a rehabilitation center for alco- holics, as a conditional use in MR -1 District, at the location of an existing building at 591 Lake Minnie Drive, Lot 3, Lake Minnie Estates, was next considered. Dr. Metz, who is associated with the Seminole County Mental Health facility, explained that they wish to establish a half -way house for the treatment and rehabilitation of alcoholics with the capacity for five to seven persons in residence at one time. Their objective is to take individuals who have a difficulty in the area of alcoholism and help them to become self sufficient and rehabilitate them to the community. Dr. Metz established that there would be no medical treatment; but rather occupational therapy, individual psychotherapy, group therapy, and working with their families sirpultaneously. After discussion, it was the consensus of the board that this could be considered as a boarding house or multi - family residence. On that basis, Mr. Blacksheare made the motion to approve the re- habilitation center as a conditional use in MR -1, Multiple- Family Residential Dwelling District. The motion was seconded by Mr. Franklin and was carried.
