RANDALL K. STRAND <br /> ATTORNEY-AT-LAW <br /> 10301 Abbott Ave. N. <br /> Brooklyn Park, MN 55443 <br /> (763) 424-6172 - <br /> Fax (763) 424-6661 <br /> January 23 2003 <br /> Susan M.H. Hall <br /> Assistant City Manager <br /> 3301 Silver Lake Road <br /> St.Anthony, MN 55418-1699 <br /> Dear Ms.Hall: <br /> I represent Health Care PIus,Inc., a St.Anthony based health care provider. I met with you <br /> several weeks ago. t <br /> At your suggestion,I appeared before the City Council January 14th and requested an amendment <br /> to the zoning ordinance to allow Adult Day Care. The City Attorney suggested referring this to <br /> the planning commission. It is my understanding that you are the staff liaison for that body. <br /> The purpose of this letter is to request that this ordinance change be placed on the planning <br /> commission agenda. Current zoning rules in St..Anthony do not have a definition for adult day <br /> :c-,are facilities,-nor is it shown as a permitted use in any'zoning district. We are,_requesting-that <br /> this use be allowed in a General Commercial District. Currently,Day Care.Centers are all <br /> =-acceptable use in this zoning and there is no practical difference. <br /> Minnesota Rule 9555.9600(4) defines Adult Day Care Center as"a facility that provides.adult <br /> I , <br /> dayy care to functionally impaired adults on'a regular basis for periods"of less than 24 hours a-day <br /> in a setting other that a participant's home". <br /> A licensed adult day care facility would provide services for adults who are unable to care for <br /> themselves during the day, but do not need nursing home care. Most of the clients would be <br /> senior citizens needing care during working hours. The care provided would primarily consist of <br /> providing activities, light snacks and ensuring clients take their medications. These are the same <br /> aetivitiesfpund in dgyzare_facilities fot.childzen. The-only d-ifference'is the age of the _ <br /> participants. As with children's daycare,there would be no overnight stays. <br /> Thank you for your attention to this matter. Please let me know if it would be useful to appear at <br /> the next planning commission meeting. I look forward to hearing from you. <br /> Yours, e <br /> Randall K. Strand <br />
