Int <br />Shepard Park Office Center, Suite 200 2177 l /ouuparan Avenue, St. ANN ALA' 551 /6 (61 2) 696 -6544 <br />September 7, 1983 <br />Mr. Joseph Chlebeck, City Clerk <br />City of Little Canada <br />515 Little Canada Road <br />Little Canada, Minnesota 55117 <br />Dear Mr. Chlebeck: <br />WNW() <br />SFP 9 1983 <br />CITY OF <br />LITTLE CANADA <br />The purpose of this letter is to provide you with additional information <br />regarding Good Neighbor Care Centers' application for a building permit <br />for our project on Edgerton Avenue. I am aware that you are not a <br />voting member of the city council. However, as a city employee who is <br />involved in this process, I feel it important that you are also as <br />knowledgeable about this as possible. <br />At the last City Council meeting I presented material showing that <br />property values are not affected by the inclusion of residential group <br />homes into a community. I quoted information from a major research <br />study showing that, and have since found additional research information <br />to support that. I left one copy of one research study with Mayor <br />Hanson. If you need additional copies of that or any other studies on <br />this subject, I would be happy to provide that for you. <br />We have further information regarding our licensing and survey <br />process. We will be contracting with the nursing department of the <br />Ramsey County Public Health Department to perform periodic surveys and <br />inspections of our operation. This will include, above and beyond the <br />inspections for Fire and Safety, survey of resident care and <br />supervision, social and recreational programs, medical and physical <br />evaluation and any other functions pertinent to quality resident care. <br />Ramsey County Public Health presently performs similar survey functions <br />for other care providers. <br />We do not feel that future uses for this property need be a major <br />concern. Our company is a well established company which fully intends <br />to continue on a long -term basis providing care for the elderly in this <br />way. There is a rapidly growing number of elderly people who will <br />require more and more care in the future. Based on our knowledge of <br />what these people are paying to receive care in a nursing home, and what <br />their priorities are for care in their aging years, we feel very certain <br />that this will be a popular option for them. <br />2 <br />
