Area Board of Zoning Appeals -September 2, 2009 <br />MR. URBANSKI: So did anybody live in it from your family then for awhile? <br />MR. GURROLA: Yes sir it was maintained as a second residence. I already had a residence prior to. My <br />daughter got married and subsequently wanted to have her home here. Her husband is local from here. The <br />home was purchased for her initially. She in turn went into the Air Force with her husband and my husband <br />and I basically took it over from there. I spend roughly two to three days a week in the area. Not necessarily <br />in the home because I do business in other cities and am involved with other things in the area. So that it came <br />to use that home because of the State requirement and the amount of space, I thought that would be a good <br />choice to use. <br />MR. HAWLEY: The property is titled in your name? <br />MS. GURROLA: Yes sir, along with my husband. <br />MR. HAWLEY: And do you also have a home, for some reason you mentioned Pokagon, do you have a <br />home there, rent there? <br />MS. GURROLA: No, I have a home and that's my second residence. I'm here in this city twice, three times a <br />week. I need a place to sleep in the winter because of the wear and tear of going back and forth was becoming <br />too much after my spinout on the expressway on ice. So my husband and I thought it would be safer for me to <br />have the residence here and have the family together part of the week here, and there. <br />MR. HAWLEY: Is anybody living in the property here now on Garland Circle? <br />MS. GURROLA: Yes sir the house parents for the program, Ruth and John. <br />MR. FEDDER: Let me see if I can ask a question strictly about funds. Are we having funds to operate this <br />from the State of Indiana? <br />MS. GURROLA: Initially funds for the program need to be provided by Hope House Organization and a four <br />month reserve. Ultimately because the young ladies will in the custody of the State, then they will provide <br />monetary for the care of the girls. <br />MR. FEDDER: Will there be any monetary expense to the County? <br />MS. GURROLA: Will there be any expenses to the County? <br />MR. FEDDER: St. Joseph County? <br />MS. GURROLA: Only to the extent that the girls will already be... <br />MR. FEDDER: I mean these girls have to be clothed and have to be fed and I don't know if they're going-to <br />go to our schools... <br />14 <br />
