Dear Mrs. Allen:
The City Attorney has responded on the issue of whether of not your mother
could be allowed as the fourth client in the proposed personal board and care
group home for the elderly at 2607 Dunbar. It is the City Attorney's opinion
that since you, as the daughter, would not reside at 2607 Dunber but would hire
a professional care provider, then your mother would not be "family" to any
occupant in the home. Therefore, your mother would be a client and would
have to be counted as such.
This opinion would change, however, if it could be documented that your mother
was an owner or part owner of the property. If your mother retained an owner-
ship interest, then she would be allowed to live there with three other clients
and receive care from the hired care provider.
As you suggested, I have placed a call to Mr. Rutz to discuss this interpretation
but my call has not been returned as of this writing. I would strongly urge that
you or Mr. Rutz provide proof of your mother's ownership interest in 2607
Dunbar. This proof would then be forwarded to the Planning and Zoning Board
and offered as evidence in the Special Review hearing for approval of the
personal board and care group home for three elderly clients, plus your mother.
I anticipate that your approval would be for three elderly clients with a special
condition that the fourth client be restricted to being only your mother as
she would have an ownership interest. The approval must be very clear that if
your mother would no longer reside in the home, a new fourth client would not
be allowed.
Please keep in mind that on Monday, September 19, 1988, I need 10 blueprints of
the site plan. One of these prints should be colored so when we take a slide it
will show up on the screen. Also, please make a PMT (photographic mechanical
transfer) reduction to 8 1/2 x 11 of the site plan. This reduction goes into the
packet for the P & Z Board.
The signed mylar is due on Thursday, September 22, 1988.
Please call if there are any questions.
Sincerely,
Ted Shepard
City Planner
