12 October 1999
I will be out of town on Oct. 18, but wish to express my opposition to a group home at 703
Peterson St.
I have lived in my home at 635 Peterson for over 28 years, and through those years have always
been glad that I live in a neighborhood that is not hedged around with restrictive covenants. This
neighborhood has been home to several group homes, most notably Larico House, and I've
always thought that this was a good thing. (I am also glad that there is.a mix of owner -occupied
and rental homes.)
However, the zoning that exists protects any neighborhood from becoming too filled with group
homes, and I think that zoning makes sense. This residents of this neighborhood do not contribute
to the need for group homes any more or any less than the residents of any neighborhood in our
city. I believe that the responsibility for caring for special needs people should also be spread
within the community.
Sincerely, Cr
J O. Charney
