Dean Nyquist, phrasing one of the questions the council hopes the studies will answer. One of the neighborhood's objections to Bill Kelly House is that its size — 23 persons — makes it larger than the state's definition of a group home — up to 16 persons. The city council granted the permit believing that state law required the city to approve it in spite of neighborhood objections. The public hearing on the permit was reopened Tuesday evening, however, when some council - The studies would analyze the present city nd zoning andces ting t e to land use a effect of group homes on prop- erty values. The council action last week opened the way for the city to seek .proposals from con- sulting firms on conducting the studies. City Manager Jerry Splinter said the city staff doesn't "have the in-house capability or time to do the evaluation of the ordi- nances which I think is needed." Splinter estimated that the land use study would cost $20,000 to $25,000, the property values "Even at the high end, these figures total less" than w a t the it city could spend on a ue should its decision be hO challengedre in group home d Councilmernber court, s .

The studies would, however, probably be added to bibliographies of studies that cities look at when considering permit applications from group homes. rcfO��ac wWT um 27 M.2 ° 6�4 Eo m °t LNt9�L �a-�3>,0 •vo v ro' NL.+ 3�L,o ^93Et"3Lc v�au� .W Al ro>L9 °Lr0 .i O u'L robOL LM acb"Wo me WmE°omc �.j oL> GGoco ■� �Tu.u.vy`o So.`.�3� /\ a c&:540 Ec 0LE cc CtEca,+ E co 0 0.

Phil Carruthers, DFL Brooklyn Center, pl.ms to III tr e o ad issues of group home size and vtiolence or felony next montb t ny back' dressess the ground among residents. The announcement of the proposed legislation was made at a public forum last Saturday on the Issue of housing for Min, nesota's mentally ill. Carruthers did not attend the meting, but sent a letter describing his proposed bill. Purpose of the bill is to "try to give more flexibility to cities to consider whether or not to license these larger homes, or homes where there's a high percentage of residents who are convicted felons or possibly violent," explained Carruthers in an interview. The part of the bill dealing with convicted felons is mostly a re- sponse to a proposed group home for sex offenders, Alpha House, that applied to locate in Plymouth last year but eventually withdrew its application. STATE SEN, BILL LUTHER, who did attend the Saturday meeting, said Carruthers' bill will provide a forum for discussion of some of the issues raised in the debate over Bill Kelly House, but was noncommittal about his own opinion of the bill. "Based on my experience in the legal process, I'd say that if this effort would be seen as a retreat from the general direction we've been going, it's doomed to failure," he said. He added that since he has not yet seen the bill, he could not say whether ho, would author it in the Senate. Carruthers said that with the opening of the session still a month away (Feb. 9), the bill is being drafted now and he has not started the process of getting co-authors in the House or an author in the Senate. The bill is not a retreat from the state's commitment to hell) the mentally ill, he said. "We're going to bigger and biper homes for the mentally ill. I think that's a step backwards be- cause we're possibly reducing the quality of care with lower staff ratios."

Sherritt, president of the Com- munity Action Group, told the commissioners that the neighbors fear for their safety if the severely mentally ill residents of Bill Kelly House move into the neighborhood. They also felt certain their prop- erty values would go down with the group home nearby. Sherritt lives across the street from the 10-unit apartment building Norton already has purchased for Kelly House. The B.C. Community Action Group has filed a suit against the city of Brooklyn Center and Kelly -Norton Programs. The suit seeks to invalidate the special use permit the city granted to the group home and to prevent Kelly. Norton from ever operating a group home for mentally ill per- sons at that address. THE SUIT WILL BE heard in district court on Monday, Dec. 21, pick up the bill for what you're doing is highly inadvisable." The lease Bill Kelly House has at I current address, 2544 Pillsbury Ave. S., runs out Dec. 31 and has not been renewed, Bernard Ackerson, a resident of the neighborhood, told the com- missioners that his 89-year-old mother lived next door to the apartment building, and he did not feel sure she would be safe. He asked whether Kelly House's size — 23 — qualified it as a group home or an institution, Speaking for Citizens for Better Government, Ron Christensen also questioned the home's size.

"CIF THIS THING MOVED in next door I'd have your undivided attention," he said to repre- sentatives of Kelly -Norton. "It doesn't affect you yourself, but you're asking it to be visited on somebody else." Richard Ellis, program director for Bill Kelly House, testified that he lives next door to two treatment centers similar to Bill Kelly House in his neighborhood in St. Paul. He said he chose to live there knowing he would be next door to mentally ill and chemically dependent peo- ple. pec.

She added that the neighbors, in their quest to fight the relocation of the group home, have gotten "very little coopera- tion from the city of Brooklyn Cen- ter." S"The people of Brooklyn Center want Brooklyn Center and Mayor Dean Nyquist to know to know that if Bill Kelly House relocates and any harm comes to us or our chil- dren, we will hold them legally, fi- nancially and morally responsi- ble," she added. Sherritt took issue with the Bill Kelly House program director Richard Ellis' description of the home's residents as being in the fm IS tcl, DIVu for 30 days program voluntarily because they want to overcome their problems. °'We are talking psychotic behavior," she said, "a break with reality. They don't know right from wrong. They don't know criminal from non -criminal behavior. How can they be there voluntarily? FELIX PHILLIPS, attorney for Bill Kelly House, earlier stated that most of the ,residents suffer from depression and loneliness, and that they do not pose a danger to the neighborhood. "Depressed people are victims very often," he said. "There have been cases where residents have been abused, not the other way around."

Phil Carruthers (DFL-Brooklyn Center) attended the Planning Commission meeting and spoke in support of Sherritt's and the neighbors' request to table the decision on the special use permit. He said that in his reading of the court decisions and state statutes governing groups homes for the mentally ill, mentally retarded and chemically depen- dent, the Bill Kelly House is not the tYPe of "family -like" care facility the statutes were meant to protect. 1.

The approval came on a 3-2 vote, with Councilmembers Rich Theis, Ghene Lhotka and Celia Scott voting in favor and Mayor Nyquist and Councilmember Bill Hawes voting in opposition. Finally closing a public hearing that had been open since Sept. 14, the council briefly debated impos- ing a moratorium on further con- sideration of the Kelly House per- mit, but decided to vote first on the permit itself. After approval of the permit, the council instituted a 12-month moratorium on consider- ing permits for other group homes its THE MORATORIUM WAS Im- posed to give the city time to re- search the Issue of group homes In order to be prepared for possible future applications for permits. Many times during the lengthy public meetings about Bill Kelly House, councilmembers have ex- pressed frustration at the complex- ity of the issues involved in such facilities and at the difficulty in getting information about them. Kelly Housemno frompagel again," said Duke Dalrymple, 5142 France Ave. N., another neighbor- hood spokesperson. "I think we had more than adequate proof on our side." Attorneys for Bill Kelly House and City Attorney Charles LeFevere have met several times since the council's Oct. 5 meeting to draw up a mutually acceptable list of conditions to be attached to the special use permit. Though some of the conditions on the list were admittedly unenforceable by the city, Kelly Norton Programs Inc., proprietor of Bill Kelly House, had agreed to them "as a question opes of getting Of good faith and in h a speedier resolution to this mat- ter," said Susan Lentz, Kelly Nor- ton's attorney, IN MKI approve heNG TILE MOTION to els said that since the state lh sh Pre-empted local control of many aspects of group homes, "if we outrightly deny this application we would be doing the mentally ill a disservice and we would lose many of the conditions that were agreed to." Henry Norton, owner of Kelly Norton Programs, had said in an earlier interview that if the city denied the permit or placed a moratorium on it, he would file suit. Brooklyn Center lost such a lawsuit in 1983 when it attempted to denceaapermit to Northwest Resi- Kell group home similar to Bill y House. Mayor Dean Nyquist opposed the Permit approval because "the dis- cussion centers around mental ill ness while we're dealing with men- - tal illness and chemical si.

Jill Sherritt, 5237 Drew Ave. N., who has been a spokesperson for the neighborhood opposition to the group home, said the neighbors have a legal fund and are consider- ing filing a lawsuit against the city. %I think it's a case of the government vs. the little people Kelly House/see page 2 op in favor ;t and CI ; voting in illy closin gad been c 7uncil braE moratoria ition of th )ut decides it itself.

Oct. 269 to relocate in Brooklyn Cen- ter, is representative �of the trend to house the mentally ill in group homes. While such homes provide necessary care and support for the mentally ill, their move into suburbs often meets with local opposition. For a variety of reasons, city councils have attempted to block group homes from moving into their communities. So far. they have been unsuccessful. Courts have ruled in favor of the right of the mentally ill theto live where y choose. The following arti- cle looks at the 1984 state l that affects awthe rights of men- tally ill residents of group homes seeking to locate in suburbs. crimination nd enables clumped in viously homes, P lis, to secure south Minneap operating permits in the suburbs. Norris is a staff attorney for the Minnesota Mental Health Law Pro- ject, a part of the Legal Aid Socie- tv. To him, the reasons for a state housing policy for the mentally ill, that is, state law that supersedes community law and prevents communities from zoning out groups home, is clear. <<pURINit 1 THE deinstitu- tionalization process of he 97Q became apparent ( coup would noties t allow these g Said, " he d.

"There is people to be kept allowed," said no reason for in state institu- a� d tions when there area fA slides an fr less restrictive. The leg this state is making community residences available for (victims of) mental illness," he said. Moreover, cities in other states that have tried to zone out such fa- � cilities have been overruled by the courts, both local and national, Norris pointed out, e Texas Supreme Court ruled in a Housing/see page on a) T to 3 oo�o• pcl cy 3 ow�n= WW e04-1 an o cz 4'4.5 3 Z oa) E Ow co w "it s S� 0 a :t� M 4 P8 C13 CZ czz O v' CZ y >,'d ; y -p a. o .0 cn 4� -6� A au U S c, $" U cz E.
