said, and gcocrally very sua:cssfully. P:ut or what we lry to ttacbouryoung people is lo be &ood citlzcu
and learn bow to be succellll'ul living wilh the community. Some of the issues that an, addressed in this
ordinance. he said, oouJd alfoct the rights or our patients to live in lhe community and we are vciy
concerned about that 1'111 oCwbal Community Can, is all about is being an advocalc for mentally ill
people for many yean, he said, and, in 1h11 capacity, we have worked ,-eiy closely with a local group,
which is made up oC the parents of the ment'11y ill. When you look at the population that we are sttuggling
with here, and if anyone bas naisod an adolescen~ Ibey know God has to be on their side . It is a very
difficult task, especially if you add memal illness on lop or that The parents that we work with need our
help to bclp thesc kids make it in the world, he said.
(c) Gail Silberliorn. 540 Fox H,.nt Circle, Linleton, said she has a family member in the
Community Can, group home. Ms. Silberl>om said she was representing the families who have loved ones
in Community Care . Many of these hlndicapp:d people cannot speak for lhemselves. Community Can, is
a group home where our lowd ones receive the additional Sbuc:lure, care, medical supervisioo and
-that allows them to learn to f\Jnction and cope approp,ialely In society, she said. Our llunilles ar.:
memben or a minority that need your undenlanding and compassion. Discrimination of people with
menial , emotional and physical disabilities is the same as discrimination due to race, sexual prdeionce or
religious beliefs. This has been addr<Sllod by Supreme Court decisions that made discrimination illepl.
To discriminate again.st people with documented disabilities violates their civil rights, she said. MOIi uf
our families uc middle class. We care for our families as you care for your families. We have one ttJng
you don 'I havo-memben with profound mental or emotional disabilities and lhe !lcvnstating dl'ec:t,; on
our families . Di,posing and documenting emotional, menial disabilities is a long excruciating process.
Our family memben an, not anli-fOcial. Our children's problems an, not lhe pn,duct of poverty, iuner-dty
rage or gang mentality, but tbe result oC genetic and physiological diseases that can be tn:ated ancl ill 90me
cases controlled either by chugs or counseling, she advised. Rohabililation for our loved ones m.ans
allowing them lhe time and space to d<Yeiop the ability to can, for themselves . I'm ROI !ailing about a drug
and alcohol rehab cent,r or housing for early parolees. Our family members at Community Cate group
home are each diagnosed and fully documented with mental or emotional diseases. Many of you h<,,-e
tonight, she said, have neodod to arrange for the can: of somenne in your family . Is sedcing out th: vciy
best residcnlial facility for a parent with Alzheimer's, Parlcinson's or a stroke abdicating yoM res;,onsibility
to care for lhem younelf, she asltod. No, it is no more or less than what we are doing by y,ekin ~ out lhe
lJ1linod pn,fessionals and safe environment where our loved ones can learn to be pn,ductive, ,esponsible,
participating memben of society. Since parents are not experts in all an:as, we send our cbild1<11 oft' to
schools staffed by professionals. This we do to provide the best possible fulUre for tho,~ we love. To
a,ntinue the oducalion of our special needs famil y members Community Care provides th, unique
combinations rx professional stalf for medical care, lherapy and a caring environment f°""d nowhere else
in lhe !.lat<. No one complains if a senior cent<r is put in bis or her neighborhood. Tho seuion (your
pan:1111, grandporenb and mine) come together for ,ocia(izalion, human a,ntact with othcn of like intorcsts
and needs . They have empathy for each Olbcr's problems, encourage and support each utbcr and in that
way continue to grow as human beings. Our family membe11 a,me together, Wider the guidance of trained
professional, for the same reasons. Often ostraciud by non-handicapped pee", Ibey empalhi7.C,
encourage, support and grow together, and just as importantly, they celebrate the victories. Tbetc are no
perfect situations, she allov,·ed, but in lhe good, better and best that is cumnOy offer-eel, group homes for
lhe mentally emolionally handicapped is the best. There are oo ahcmati\-es that .:vcn fit in the "good"
category for our loved ones . Th,:y will never learn to work and compete in society in <late institutions,
roaming hallways and sitting in isolation . Have any of you collctted statistics on crimes by thofie living in
poop homes, venua .._ on the 511\-ct, she ukcd. lf Community Care did ROI exist, some of our loYCd

consider carefully the imp,ct of t.bcir dtcisions on the lives of these special people.
(d) Susan Behm, 7716 Gokl Dust Peak, l,ittJCIDo, said she is the mod>crof a child who iu
n:sidcnt at Community Carc. Sbe said ii is her bclid, and the belief of all of the surrounding communiu,s,
that the two young killers of the students at Columbine High School could have been helped if someone in
the community bad rocogniud that they were troubkd, alone in their fighl with depression and sbUIIIIOII by
Ille!! ;,=s. Asa community, we bavean obligation ID oury011lh, she said, as well as ID all of the members
of our community who arc in -1, to provide aq,pon and services lhat will Cll3blc them to become
COD1n'llutingmcmbcn in our society . She said she livcs in southwest Littleton, and there arc a lot oftecns
in that area who arc undclirlblc. They walk the IIRCl.', 11 aighl, unsupervised. We bave bad our bome
broken into, she said, and these kids gel into I WI of n'OUl>lc, they play loud music:, lhcy destroy property,
and they cause a lot of fear in all areas of the city as • wbol<. We arc not allowed to say who c:an live in
our subdivisions, she said, asserting 1h11 it is unfair that people and childrco in group homes arc not
allowed to be then: eitbcr. She said her daupier wll'ers from sever: dcprossioo, and bas been unable to be
kepi safe at home. She was plaad at Communi ty Care afta having been in some lockdoMl facilities out of
the city, and, since she has been lhcrc. she has made treDIClldous progress . She has a home lo come home
to when she is ,. .. 11. and we hope Iha! "i ll haprffl real SOOD, she said. Ms. Behm said a lot of the kids at
Co n nunity Carc have very supportive famili,.s, and there also arc a lot of kids there that do not.
Commwiity Care provides a suucturc fo r lhc-,c kids. They arc ,upcrviscd twenty-four hows a day, they
lcam to tive in the collllDlllity, and to shWl them and say lhat they c:an not live there is turning your bod:s
oa our youth. She asked if they 1'-ould ralh,r bavc the kids running the llr<lelS WllUpcfviscd and IIIUlallm,
or in a facility 1h31 c:an teach, guide and bdp them ID learn what it takes to be a part of our community. A
few 1110nlhs ago, she continued, there wc,'C scvcnil n:sidcnt.s al Community Care who were IIOublc-l!llbrs.
,\11/;r the neighbors complained about s,.~'Cl21 incidents 1h11 occuncd, Community Care 's clinical director,
K.•ny Goklco, took the noccssa,y step< to try and mcct the needs of the surrounding community. He bas
unp.."fflClllcd new rules for the residents, and continues to be open lo suggestions and recommendations the
acighbor. h:l>C. The kids have 'lccJI very responsive lo the desires of the acighbors and have made
lrcmcDdous gains towards bcir,~ more supportive of their needs and more respectful 10 them in the
community . Community Care is not a grr,up home , it is a residential treatmcnl facility for healthy,
mcnlllly Wlllablc chilcb<n, jast W«: other medical facilities in the area arc helping other ill people. Many
therapeutic programs take place llerc, she said. Individual group and multi-family therapy sessions occur
many times per week. with psydlialri sts and social worters. An on-site school teaches students in a [!l'OUP
scaing, u well as individual ttaching for SIUdcnts who do not function well in a classroom . Physical
activity groups D1CCI wcckly ?Jld trips to other athletic facilities occur as well . A registered muse is on-<itc
to monilOr the medications and to offer medical assisunao when a child is ill. The children learn to cook.
clCID, shop, do their own laundry and run a household, she said . They learn to get aloog with otbcn, to
negotiate, malce compromises and build relationships. They learn ways of keeping themselves and others
safe, and learn to lruSl adults. as well as their peers. 1'1: <laJf also equips them with the skills t-1cd to
apply for employment Some arc already working "-scessfwl, in the community and some arc even
lllcllding college . Thi s would not have happened if not for this program. she asscncd. Many have
graduated liom this program and arc going on to universities outside of the city . A lot oflhc childrco ha-.'C
been reunited with their families. and a few have not been so lucky and arc now back in other facilities . To
remove these kids and this facility from the area is taking away their home. It also sends a acgative
message to the community that we arc not supportive of the needs of our youth. We arc trying to place
blame of a kid gone astray on somcont else. but ~ is you. me, the neighbors and the community whc! nood
to mpport theDL Tbcsc arc not bod kids, nor do I belie\'C that they arc dangerous. she said. Tbcsc are kids

(e) Joa!J Keller, 3444 Soulb M.vion Street, aid be ia a former resident of Community Can:
and is now a graduate. Community Care baa bclpcd me make positive changes, be said, and become an
bonesl, rcspomible member of society. BcfOR Community Care, I WIS overcome by my mental illncss, but
after Community Care, I have mainllined my own aportmenl and kq,t a job for over a yar and a half.
BcfOR Community Can:, I wu llnancially dependent on lbc ruenlal healtb syst=, be said, DOW I am
a,mplctdy sdl'..upporting. Bcfon, Community Care, I wu aaaillivc and full of rage, be said, and after
Community Care, I gained mils to a>ntrol my behmor. BcfOR Community Care, olbcrs conlnllled my
life, now I make decision& by myself. Before Community Can:, I wu in numerous placements in lockup,
and uow, thole things an, way behind me. The road lo wbere I am now WIS long and dillicul~ he said.
Community Can: Bl"' me the time and chanca ID make noa:saary changes. This is a simple version of
bow I feel, be concluded, and Community Care is a wonderful program and has helped me immcnsdy.
(I) Sandra Dohm, 4360 South Akron Street, advised lhal she is lbc mother of a boy who
graduated from Community Can: this last August The group homes in a City liu Englewood arc a vitally
impollanl part ol'lhc life oflbc City, and should not be excluded from residential neighborhood&. She said
her sm lived at Community Care on South Corona fo1 over a yar, and that ended in Aue-.ist. He benefited
llotllCDdously from lhc program lbcrc, which addsosses P5>'Chiatric ,-ts, as well as behavioral Meds. He
had both behavioral and psychiatric problems. The caring, knowledge, expcrima: and dedi<alion ol lbc
Slall' make lbal program wort . The small-scale rcsideDlial setting in a real ncighl,omood makes ii posao'blc
for lbcm to "°"' lbcir program. Community Care is a home away from home, DOI an institution, she
asscr1ed, and that is a very imponant distinctioo. II is a place where they can learn skills that will bdp lbcm
to Iii into I IIUC neighborhood setting, wberovcr they live. II is impoasible to achieve lhc feeling of I home,
she said, away from a rcsidclllial ocigbbotbood, and lbc allcrnam~ is an institwon, which is usually cold
and impersonal. Community Care is a valuable resouroc for lbc Englewood community. II houses children
whole families live in U:c soulb Denver mmopolilan area, including Englewood. Families can visit
rogularly and maintain contact with lbc cbild. If you ban a place like Community Care from a residential
ncighbothood, you arc making ii very difficult for them 1D fiod Olber places lo be that would allow lbcm to
be integrated into lhc c.,mmunity, she said. II also helps lbc Englewood economy with its ~bases and
f>3r-11, she added. Lastly, Community Care is about lbc future of our at-risk youth, she said. Tbcsc yoong
people oced our help 10 become rcspoosible and productr.'O ciliuns. If we do DOI afford them that belp,
su.·:. as Community Care offers, we risk losing lbcm at a much higher price to society. Being able to live in
a .,.; d,bomood setting is an imponant part of that help. She said she hopes Council will consider being
,uppo;ti"" ID lhc Community Care program .
(g) David Fine, 2042 Fairfax Slrtct, Dcin-.r, advised Iha! he is an attorney and WIS asked ID
cm a look at lhc proposed zoning ordinance. He said he wanlcd lo spcalt simply about lhc legal issues, not
any particular factual issues . He s•id he has identified a number of legal concerns with lhc pn,posed
ordinance, one of which concerns lhc Fair Hoosing Act. lie said he believes this ordinaor.e woold not pass
muster Wider lhc Fair Housing Act, nor lhc Slate Slalute which deals with lhc licensing ol oomes such as
lbc Community Care home . The Slate Slalute aulhori= lbc location of homes such as this in
ncighbo,_ without lhc types of condition& that an, placed on ii by lhiJ ordinance . Mr. Fine fell !hat
IOIIIC of lbc inlaoal inconaist,ncics in Ibis ordinance, u drafted, would undermine abcmpts by lbc City 10

(i) Bill Fuchs, 3539 Soulh Corona Smet, lives immediately adjacent to Community Care.
He said be bu beard all tbe success stories, and be applauds their dl'oru and is glad that lhings work. He
said be woold like 10 ask these folks if Ibey woold like IO have twenty adolescenlJ that are in care living

feds Ibey nm! 10 be brnktn down into smaller unilJ. Some of the original documcnlJ stale Iha! tbere is
going to be one counselor per uniL He said be does not see that or evidence of that, particularly at night.
Mr. Fudui said he feels ii is too cooa,Dlllllcd a facility for tbe type of environment lllOWld tbere. It is R-2
raidenlial, be said, and there is a duplex to the south ofhiu Wbcn he mowd in, Ibis place was high end
rental units. There were nol even ;my childn:n tbere and ii was a real quiet neighborhood. It bas gotten
about ninety portent heller than ii was, be allowed, but be hates to have to be a policeman for his own
neighborhood, and he is afraid ii is going lo slip. We have gone both ways wbcrc ii has gotten worse and
better. Again, be said be applauds tbeir efforts, but ii .-Is 10 be broken down into smaller units, and be is

(k) Ca!ey Stockwell, 3919 Sooth Washington Street, said he would like to address some of
the points that wcr, 1W>ic. One lady did ll0C like the misdemeanor clause because lhcY would have ID close
or lhrow 001 a pc.~on because of one offense, he r=lled. Whal the wording in L'tis docs is actually
protcclS the building. because if yoo have one unhappy set of r<Sidents living next to a group home, and
lhcY make a IClicaoflilly or ahundRdcalls, you can 110Cjudge wbcthcrthe group borne is in the way al
the residential area by logging that. So that is ll0C a good way to judge i~ so one good way ID judge it ii by
bow many actual, physical ticltcu are actllalJy given ID the resideDIS of a home, he explained. Thal would
be the same II any r<Sidcncc. This gives some teclb ID the police and taus ii out of the lhcoretical and p,u
it inlD the practical, leaving ii up ID the written laws and for lhe police to eofon:c, rllbcr lhan just having
some disgrunlled people calling in and complaining about neighbor, lhll lhcY do not like. Iflhis one
pcnon did have a series of tickclS, the legal system woold be lalting can: of them any,wy, and the group
borne would not have ID throw them ool As to the statcmcnt that there is no clear classification for over
eight people in a uni~ that is not 1rUC, be said. II is very wcU spelled oul A 1,250 foot clarification, two
facilities for one group home, that is the whole point it speaks ID density, it docs not disallow a facility
from having more than one uni~ but ii docs oot allow them ID be tDo concentrated in one area, that is the
whole idea of ordinances. As for the porting. ID say that the kids do not drive docs not address the fact 1h11
the staff member, do drive. In certain r<Sidential an:as, there just is not the physical space for the whole
stafT, plus aU the people who visit What ncods to be addrosscd is the fact that there m , for the 1,250
group home dis1ancc clarification, there is something in place for exceptions and r<vicw. As • cilizcn, be
said. I ...Uy support the good work that this group docs, and lh<rc is room in our com.munity for this kind
of wonderful work . I applaud the fact 1h11 wc are considering adding another group home for bomdcaa
people in Englewood, but wc have to realize that you do not have the ability ID handle that kind of density
in certain areas. This, he said, is set up just to addlCSS density and it is not set up ID keep it out of
Englewood, but ID p,i it In the appropriate r<Sidential areas. They could still be in r<Sidcntial areas, and
stiU be in the com.munity as usduJ member, of society, but lhcY coold do i~ for instance, in an area when:
1h11 many people m aUowed ID live in one group building. like when: apartment buildings m allowed.
Thal is probably where lhcY m going to mo.c. anyway,,. lien they graduate, be said. They m not going
ID move into a single family house all by themselves . Mr. StDcl<wcll recalled the comments of the lady
who asked if you woold throw 001 families who have bad kids. In a single family dwelling, you have II
lcost one to one kid ID adult supervision. Y cs, those kids woold get tickets, and the kids coold be sent off.
Thal happens to r<Sidents. too. He said he just wants to support this group and also remind them ~ lh<rc

Hopefully, that will cause people to aim down and ta&e a loolt at the landscaping as they an, dri,nng
