Number of employees on site during shifts: The most staff that will be on site during any shift will be 7. The State requires that during the day we have on duty 1 staff per 10 kids and at night 1 staff per 20 kids.

The Program Director will be on site supervising monday through friday during business hours and as needed. There would not be more then 7 staff on during the day or evening. 4.

Jacob Center East 1116 9th Street Greeley, CO 80631 Dear Mr. Jones: (970) 352-2852 Fax: 3524428 Per our recent conversations and letters I am writing you to clarify the operations at our proposed Group Home at 1516 Remington. Clarification is as follows: Jacob Center Longmont 1. Nature of Residents: At this time we are planning on having both males and females in 380 Main Street #221 the Group Home. Based off of prior operations, it will most likely be about 80% male and Longmont, CO Soso, (303) 774.9837 20% female. The nature of the residents will be young adults between the ages of 12 and 18 83 Fax: 774-9837 that are not living at home because of legal problems or conflicts with their parents. These young adults will most likely have emotional and behavioral problems that they will be working on so they can return to their families of origin. All young adults will be thoroughly screened to assure that they are appropriate and safe for community placement. The general operations of the Group Home will be that young adults will sleep there, attend individual and group meetings, attend school in the Group Home or in public schools, they will attend recreational activities in the community and they will be completing community service projects. Most residents will be in the Group Home between 6 months and a year and a half. The residents will not be allowed to drive while they are in the program. Staff will be in the Group Home 24 hours a day to supervise the young adults. We will try and make the residents day just like a day for any other young adult that is living in Fort Collins. 2. Maximum number of residents: We are planning on having a maximum of 20 residents at this Group Home most likely averaging between 10 and 16 based off of our calculations. We have been approved for 8 residents originally. At the time of approval we did not know of the county's plan to close their current group home (Youth SAFE) that is home to 20 residents. Because of this closure there has been an increase of pressure, on an already over pressured system, for increased need for residential placements. After guidance from our Board, consulting with the State Regulations and making the appropriate planning to handle more residents we are requesting a maximum number of 20 rather then 8. Again, we do not believe that the Group Home will have 20 residents in it. The facility is large enough to hold more then 20 residents however our programming will not accommodate more then 20 residents. f- Commu 9 Planning and Environmental vices Current Planning City of Fort Collins MEMO March 20, 2000 To: Reviewing Departments and Agencies From: Troy Jones, Project Planner Re: Clarification about this application. This application is basically only a request to modify the standards in the Land Use Code to change the number of residents of an existing group home at 1516 Remington from 8 residents to 20 residents. The site has been used as a fraternity until recently and was granted a change -of -use to a group home in early March, 2000. The maximum number of group home residents allowed in this zoning district according to the Land Use Code is 8. Because the change of use was processed under current law (i.e. the Land Use Code), this modification request must be processed as a Type 2 POP, and cannot be a stand-alone modification. The approved minor amendment specified a few minor site changes, namely adding a trash enclosure, adding landscaping, and reducing the size and configuration of the existing paved parking area. There are no proposed changes to the existing electric, water, sewer, telephone, cable TV, or natural gas lines. There is no proposed increase in impervious area. The PDP application does not propose any on -site changes to the approved change -of -use minor amendment. This application does include engineered off -site alley improvements that were not part of the minor amendment. Because of the simplicity of this application, I am requesting a two week review turn around, which would mean the comments are due to me on April 5th. Please let me know if this is not enough review time. 281 North College Avenue • P.O. Box 580 • Fort Collins, CO 80522-0580 • (970) 221-6750 • FAX (970) 416-2020
