Dear Board Members:
We have received another notice for a proposed hearing on the property at 1516
Remington, Group Home #11-00. This new notification indicates a modification to the
original proposal. We did attend the first meeting regarding this residence when they were
asking for 8 foster children to be placed.. This was acceptable to us and we welcomed
them to the neighborhood.
The next letter from your office notified property owners that a change was being asked
for and that now the number would be 20 foster children. That gave cause for concern
but no objections were raised at that time. Now, however, this latest modification is
completely unacceptable to us as property owners and as neighbors. We are wondering
what the real bottom line in all this is. It is a big stretch from 8 foster children to 20 and a
"residential treatment facility for male and female". This is NOT what was presented at
the original meeting. The unknown is where will this all end and with how many and at
what cost.
The people in this neighborhood have put a lot of time and money into restoring older
homes and maintaining the integrity of the area. We do not believe this type of facility
will fit in. Please, we urge you, to strongly consider this new proposal and what the
impact will be.
Sincerely,
t�
Allen and Donna Kling
