t <br /> Area Board of Zoning Appeals—February 1, 2012 <br /> that no I was out of compliance and I needed to go forth with either ceasing to operate the foster care <br /> program or to apply for Special Use exception. <br /> MR. PHIPPS: But before you took any patients in for assisted living care you did not inquire of anybody <br /> with the City if you needed any approval for that? <br /> MS. GURROLA: I don't have patients sir, it's a foster care. I consider them family members and my <br /> understanding was with foster care you need a license from the State, which I have, and whatever agency is <br /> the placing agency that you're meeting the requirements. I did not check with any State official for foster <br /> care, no I did not. <br /> MR. URBANSKI: And they did not say anything to you about it? <br /> MS. GURROLA: They, who sir? <br /> MR. URBANSKI: They the State or whatever agency the foster care members that they put in your home? <br /> MS. GURROLA: No they did not. Like I said I only became aware through a letter from Code <br /> Enforcement. And that was September, 2011, September 19th. They knocked on the door, I opened the door, <br /> he handed the letter and walked away.

URBANSKI: But they're not, and I think it says blood, does it not Chuck? <br /> MS. GURROLA: For foster care., no sir... <br /> MR. URBANSKI: I don't know the exact ma'am so that's why I'm asking Chuck. <br /> MS. GURROLA: Okay. I have it if you need it. <br /> MR. BULOT: Family, one or more persons related by blood, legal adoption or marriage, living and cooking <br /> together as a single housekeeping unit exclusive of household servants or a number or persons but not <br /> exceeding two persons who are not related by blood, legal adoption or marriage, living and cooking together <br /> as a single housekeeping unit shall be deemed, constitute a family. A person or persons residing with a <br /> family as here and above defined by reasons of placement by public licensed agency shall be considered as <br /> members of that family. <br /> MR, URBANSKI: Mr. Fedder how would you rule that? I mean how are we set...? <br /> MR. FEDDER: Well I don't know if I can just give you an off the cuff opinion. It seems to me as we're <br /> mixing up exactly what was there before and what we're trying to do now that's why I required from the first <br /> 32 <br />
