More importantly why does the CUP allow any sort of institutional use of any sort? These were clearly designed for people who want to run a daycare out of their house or put a church in a neighborhood. RESCARE is exploiting a loophole in the CUP that it was never meant for to put a facility in our neighborhood. Bullet #11 – Is the Elk river Police department Satisfied that ResCare will put extra pressure on their department – ResCare says that is impossible to answer. Did anyone ask them, and if so what was their response? If they didn’t then I would say that the city council has dropped the ball because this is an enormous safety issue. Bullet #12 – Does the Elk River Police department has any concerns about the safety of the neighborhood considering the types of patients that will occupy this facility? – ResCare says that is impossible to answer. Did anyone ask them, and if so what was their response? If they didn’t then I would say that the city council has dropped the ball because this is an enormous safety issue. Bullet #17 – Will the ResCare Facility adversely affect property values in the neighborhood. They claim they would “react accordingly” if the home values within the neighborhood were to be adversely affected. This means literally nothing. Zero detail is given. Would ResCare like to buy all of the single family homes that will be adversely affected by this facility at current market rate right now prior to them dropping all of the values? This facility will not help the home values and is more than likely to adversely affect them. It certainly doesn’t make it an attractive neighborhood to live in. They will claim tax value will dictate the value of the homes but that is not a correct indicator when something like this comes into the neighborhood. My home is worth what someone is willing to pay me for it and I stand to lose all of my equity if this is allowed. So I as a resident please don’t allow this company, which could put their facility anywhere, to destroy what little equity I have in my home and set my retirement back another 5 years. Bullet #23 – What zoning districts are the rest of these facilities located in. Please take notice that this is the only Facility that would truly be located in a SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENCE. The rest are located in zones where there are apartment buildings and commercial businesses. This isn’t an apple to apples comparison so for all intents and purposes my single family neighborhood full of children will become a testing ground of sorts. We WILL NOT ACCEPT THIS AND WILL FEEL UNSAFE IN OUR NEIGHBORHOOD Bullet #26 – Question of sheer number of police calls. We expect to see a police cruiser and possible ambulance every 4.2 days in our neighborhood. That is the average in the Robinsdale MN facility. ResCare claims that they will “come up with a plan to limit disruption to the community” Do they have anything in writing? They clearly haven’t talked with the local police and fire
