HAZLETON -- The Hazleton Planning Commission recently approved plans for a
100-bed primary care facility in the Altamont building. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 The Altamont will offer ambulatory seniors access to the downtown area. The
building will be handicapped accessible. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The building's third, fourth and fifth floors will house rooms; a dining
room will be on the fourth floor. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 The businesses currently located in the building will not be affected by
the new care facility, said a representative of the architectural firm of
Eugene Bales and Associates of West Hazleton. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 The project will move forward in six-month increments. As one floor fills,
work on the next floor will begin. The upper three floors of the building will
either be converted to small apartments or used for additional primary care
beds, depending on demand, said the architects. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 In other planning commission business: &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 The commission tabled until its next meeting a plan for Columbus Park
submitted by the city because more information was needed. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 Cartran Reality requested an extension for continued land clearance at the
22nd and Vine Street Mall. The planning commission voted a one-month extension
on the clearing of the land. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 The commission approved a subdivision request to separate a privately-owned
four-apartment house and a garage on the same property.
