Hall <br /> Assistant City Manager <br /> 3301 Silver Lake Road <br /> St. Anthony, MN �5418-1699 <br /> Dear Ms.Hall: <br /> I r"epre-s6nt Health Care Plus,'The., a'St.Anthony based health care provider. I met with you <br /> several weeks ago. <br /> At your suggestion,I appeared before the City Council Jan I uary 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. CurTent zoning rules in St. Antholly do not have a definition for adult-day <br /> eX.e facilities--nor is it shown as a permitted use .inany-zoning district. We.ari�re.q tia -that <br /> ues g <br /> '.'this use beallowed in a General Commercial District. Currently,Day Care Centers are <br /> use in this zoning and there is nopractical difference. <br /> Minnesota Rule 9555.9600 (4) defines Adult Day Care Center as"a facility that-provides adult <br /> day care to'ffinctionall�imp aired adulis-on a regular basis f6r-p eriods'6f less than'24 hour§ '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 /> activitie&fbuad in�qyzare facilities for.children, The-PIllyd-iffe-rence'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, <br /> Randall K. Strand <br />
