Chlebeck <br />City Clerk- Treasurer <br />515 East Little Canada Road <br />Little Canada, Minnesota 55117 <br />Dear Mayor Fahey and Mr. Chlebeck: <br />County Commissioners <br />Warren W. Schaper <br />Chairperson <br />Diane Ahrens <br />John T Finley <br />Ruby Hunt <br />Duane W. McCarty <br />Hal Norgard <br />Donald E. Salverda <br />Terry Schutten <br />Executive Director <br />You are probably aware of a proposal for a new law (Senate <br />File 235 and House File 222) which would make changes in the <br />Minnesota Human Services Licensing Law and affect the way in <br />which human services facilities are treated in city zoning <br />codes. Senator Marilyn Lantry developed this legislation in <br />response to issues which the City of St. Paul has had with the <br />concentration of facilities in the City and the distances <br />between such facilities. <br />At the request of the Ramsey County Executive Director, Nancy <br />Homans from St. Paul's Planning and Economic Development <br />Department and I have made several formal presentations to <br />suburban city councils and planning commissions. We have also <br />spoken to the League of Ramsey County Local Governments. Our <br />next presentation will be to the Falcon Heights City Council, <br />Planning Commission, and Human Rights Commission on March 1 at <br />7 p.m. <br />If your City Council or Planning Commission is interested in <br />this topic, we can schedule a presentation to them on the <br />legislative development process, the philosophy behind <br />community placement, and the details of the proposed law. <br />Please give me a call at 298 -4612 if you have questions or to <br />schedule a date for a presentation. <br />Sincerely, <br />Susan\ B. Smith <br />Planning Manager <br />cc: Nancy Homans <br />Page 12 <br />
