Council Meeting June 5, 1990 page 4 . 1 a representative from the City of St. Anthony to the AMM. 2 3 The City Manager said the AMM staff had indicated a willingness to 4 have someone from the organization attend a Council work session to 5 discuss the focus of the AMM and the changes being proposed. The City 6 Manager was instructed to invite a member of the AMM staff to attend 7 a Council work session. 8 9 Mayor Ranallo advised that he and the City Manager had attended the 10 AMM Annual Meeting. It was noted that the AMM focuses strictly on 11 metro-area cities and their concerns. This focus is unlike that of the 12 League of Minnesota Cities which addresses statewide city concerns. 13 i4 Update of Group Home on Silver Lake Road 15 The City Manager has been in contact with the City Attorney regarding 16 the status of the group home on Silver Lake Road. He noted that none 17 of the property owners in the area of the group home were aware of 18 it being used for that purpose. 19 20 The City Manager and the Public Works Director have spoken to the 21 residents of the group home about the need for completing the land- 22 scaping in the front yard. It had been rumored that any remaining 23 funds of the property owners would be used for air conditioning the 24 home and that landscaping was not being considered at the present 25 time. 26 27 The City Manager stated that staff does not know who owns the home 28 or if it has been licensed by the State. He felt the State had "dropped 29 the ball" on this matter. He also noted that if it is not licensed, 30 it is being used in a non-conforming manner. 31 32 Councilmember Enrooth has observed numerous vehicles at the property 33 and many people lingering outside. He felt it appeared that some 34 counselling was being done there. 35 36 The City Manager had speculated that the original intent and purpose 37 of the house did not include counselling or any type of treatment. He 38 inquired what intent for use had been stated when this proposal was 39 presented to the Council . 40 41 Mayor Ranallo advised that this was part of the problem in that the 42 group home situation had never been brought before the Council . 43 44 The City Manager stated he will be drafting a letter to Bill Soth; the 45 City Attorney, requesting he procure information for the following 46 questions/concerns regarding this group home: Is it licensed ?; Who 47 frequents the home and who actually resides in it ?; Is on-going patient 48 counselling being conducted ?; and, Is the group home a permitted use 49 under the City zoning ordinance ? Burt felt it was doubtful if this 50 were a licensed group home that patient counselling could be done-on
