Minnewashta Church
MEETING
P.m.
The Chanhassen Human Rights Commission met at 7:30 p.m., Thursday,
January 27, !972, at Minnewashta Church, United Church of Christ.
The meeting was hetd at the church because the Village Hal-1 rlTas
completel-y occupied. Present: Norman Pavey, Jan Gilbert, Martha
Lyman and Muriel Buel1.
A letter of resignation from Rache1 Hill was acknowledged and her
resignation regretfully accepted.
The proposed Zoning Ordinance for the Village of Chanhassen was
discussed with special- attention directed to "Section 7, R-l- Single
Family Residence District". Members of the Commission agreed that
new single family resid.ence construction not be restricted to a
minimum of 1500 square feet per dwelling or a two-car garage. A
possible loss of federal funding was cited as a Potential hazard of
such restrictions as well as the obvious l-imited socio-economic
range of potential buyers able to finance same.
A discussion of quality of construction was resol,ved with the
determination that actual construction standards are determined by
building codes, not by a zoning ordinance. It is al-so the
understanding of the Commission that low-cost housing and qual-ity
constructj-on are possibLe under Planned Unit Devel-oPment.
Members present agreed unanj-mously to support the adoPtion of the
proposed Zoning Ordinance as amended January ll , L972, at the
Public Hearing January 3L, 1972, and to make their views known as
Commission members and as Chanhassen residents to the Village
Council and to other residents.
Chairman Norman Pavey, agreed to review and confirm terms of current
Commission members. An amendment to the Human Rights comnission
Ordinance will be prepared for presentation to the VilJ-age Council
on Eebruary 28, l-972. This amendment wilJ- suggest reducing the
number of members on the Human Rights Commission. Names of potential
members to fill existing unexpired terms wil-1 also be submitted
at that time to the Council. Members who have not attended meetinqs
wil"1 be removed according to the ordinance which established the
Cornmission.
The next meeting of the Human Rights Commission is scheduled for
Saturday, February 26, 1972, at 10:00 a.m., in the ViJ-]-age Ha1l.
The commission established the 4th Saturday of each month at 10:00

REPORT OF WAYNE COXIS SPEACH:
One and a half years ago the Housing group within
CounciL was formed to help educate other groups.
the group were:
the Metropofitan
The findings of
I Cost of single family housing is less affordable.. and
increasingJ-y so, unless some other method of buil-ding
is developed, fewer people will be abl-e to own a single
f amiJ-y unit.
Construction of multiple unit housing is up 70? in the
metropolj-tan area: housing is increasing so in cost
that the elderIy and young cannot stay j-n their own
comrunities and cannot afford housing in the city where
they have traditionally gone.

What can public polj.cy do about there conditions?
!"ederal programs in effect to bring down costs to

for about l-500 homes in the Twin City area in the past
2 years. Its' use is diminished because restrj.cted to
housing cost of $22,500.00 which is impossibJ-e at

I There seems to be one approach that will overcome the
i1ls of the existing programs by building an area from
the beginning to accomodate all income 1eve1s in an
area where the needs of the peop)-e wi1L, be met in a
stimulating environment..as in the Cedar-Riverside
Deve lopment .
2. Section 236-deals with muJ-tip1e family units--apartments,
townhouses or co-operatively owned units, either privately
owned or for rental . The Federal government pays a
percentage of the interest and this is reflected in up
to 20? reduction in rentals. 235 has been used mostLy
in the cities, but the Department of Housing and Devel-
opment says it must be used now in suburban areas '(results of cout action j-n Atlanta and Chicago).
ADDENDUM page 2
What has the Metropolitan CounciL been doing and what are its plan
for future action?
Metro Council has worked for good legislation for housing
in the past years. Last Legislature passed 4 out of the
5 housing bi).J-s supported by the Metro Council. They will
continue to work for good housing bills. They support
the bill- for Senator Mondafe that is the best possible
kind of legislation as it will subsidize the person rather
than the housing.
Continuing to work to educate other groups about the
problems of housing.
Metro Council is initiating a "Demonstration Program" toget all income groups in areas with accessibility to
services of the community..and a good built-in stimulating
environment. The Federal government helps to buy up
large tracts of land while still farm land and less
costly to build these comrnunities with all income groups
with facilities to meet the human needs of the peopJ.e.
Metro is helping to plan these' in Eden Prairie, Western
BLoomington, Mendota Heights (these wiIl be ner,, areas)
and also in redevelopment in st. Louis Park and near
Northeast Mj-nneapolis.
TOM GABBERT.S REPORT
Committee went to Jonathan to get ideas of what Jonathan wants to
do in Chanhassen. Found that Sect. 235 has failed miserable in
Jonathan: under Sect. 235, there are 42 unit townhouses with people
who are getting Federal aid mixed with peopLe paying their own way.
Recommend to Human Rights Commission to get and read the Sunday
Miami Hera1d to find out what is being done in Dade County, Florida'
with the highest concentration of elderly in the United States.

environment that meets the human needs of the people. The
Metro Council has been working with Eden Prairie the past

with any community that will call on them for aid.

Burt Ho1m, of Champion Products, was present htith sl-ides and
samples of his new proposed building material for new 1ow cost
homes. The wal-I panels shown were of varying thicknesses and
are constructed of styrofoam like material , with 3/8" p)-ywood
panels (91ued) bonded to each side. Slides \,rere shown following
the progression of construction on the home being constructed in
Minnetrista, using the building material . The wall panels fit
together and are stapled with teflon staples. The ho11ow ceiling
beams interl-ock with the watl panels and are covered by the roof
panels which also j-nterlock with the walI Panels. Window frames
are of plastic and are tightly fit into previously cut wa1l panels.
Mr. HoIm stressed that since all cutting and installation of
windows is performed in the factory that they would be much
straighter and tighter than conventional windows. The home
constructed. in the slide presentatlon contained four bedrooms,
two up and t\^ro in the waLkout basement. The home cost is
$21,500 complete, incJ.uding fireplace, well and septic system.
Lot r,ras not included in the above prices.
The committee and Mr. HoLm then traveled to Champion Products
Company in Eden Prairie. There they observed the machinery
that is being constructed to produce the building materials for
the new housing concept. Mr. Holm commented that the plumbing,
electrical conduits, switches, outl-ets and junction boxes would
be installed in the panels at the factory. He also commented
that there would only be four plumbing connections necessary
on the site in the average home. He stated that it was not his
intentlon to pruchase land to become the developer in the usual
sense, but rather to a11ow the Vitlage Planning and Zoning
Commission to regulate the actual development of land and the
home buyer would purchase the building site directly from the
origainal land owner. He said we should not attempt to make a
profit on the 1and, but rather on the bullding itself.
The committee returned to the Village HalI where the minutes from
the meeting of March 25th were approved.
MurieL BuelL conunented that she had trouble attempting to obtain
information on the use of the script for the high density housing
skit that had been discussed at the March meeting. She will

sewer assessments. The Corunission recommended that the Village,
"E1der1y and Senior Citizen home owners would be able to defer
payments for sewer assessment as long as they lived in the house
and the property doesn't change hands. Ho\,/ever, if the proPerty
does change hands, then the assessments come due and are payable. "

ES?ABLIS$,IENT OF COOPER GROUP HOYE
I. A CHITD'S NEED FOR CARE AND PRMECTION
II. CARVER CO UNTY FAMILY SERVICE DEPART},IENT
Anelican custohs, reinforced by law, have firmly established the right of every ehild
to care and protection. A childrs parents ale prfunarily responsiblo for him, but
uhen they fail to provide hin with the necessary care and protection because they
are unabie to do so, or for any other reason, organized society hEs assurned responsibility
to do this.
The natural dependency of childhood and the freedou fron adult resPonsibility often
$ako it appear that childhood is free from troubles. It is frequontly assumed that
all parents instinctivoly protect and care for their children. Catried to the extrene,
both- of these ideas ignore- the fact that during childhood, within his own family
and his own social group, the child Eust loat'n to adjust to sociel custons and, at
the same tine, get ior irinseff a satisfying degree of new experience, response, and
recognition. -Even in nornal fa$ily situations, which offer conslderabls security,
this p"ocess necessitates nuch stress and strain for both tho child and his Parents.
Givea norual protectlon and opportuaity for growth, the chlld learns to nake the
necessary choices; and as he iiows intl rnatuiity, he is able to sssure- adult responsi-
bility in society. Irlhen this is not afforded hin, however, there is the possibility
of thl developtrent of physical, nental, or enotlonal difficulties or of socially-
unaccoptablo irehavior,' it is importani to renember that whatever tho childrs behavior
nay be, it lepresorts the best way he knows of neeti.ng his problens at the ti.ne.
In the United States a series of White Houso Conferences has been an important nani-
fesrarion of the concern of the nation for the trelfare of its children, The first
White pouse Conference was called by President Ttreodore Roosovelt in 1910, and Conferences
have been repeared at ten year inte::vals since that time. The 1930 White House
Conference aiopted the Chiidrenrs Charter, which is a staternent. of princiPl-es on
the rights of Lhildren and the nation's responsibility toward the!0. This charter
has vo-iced the basic philosophy and obJective of both voluntary and, Public child
welfare prograns, It-is incir:nLent upon every social worker who works with children

III. COOPER GROUP HOME
A. Adninistration
Gary and Sandy Cooper will run the facility with the aid of two groups. Thefirst group wiLl be The Board of Advisors. The Board of Advisors are Chairman,
Rev. Don Cottom, members Rev. Terry Morehouse, Sheriff Les Melchert, County
Connissioner Joe Neaton, Chairman of the Welfare Advisory Board - Maggie Brown,Assistant Principal of Chaska High School - Edith Cavender, Assistant, Principalof Watertown High School - Larry Enter, and long-tirne area foster uothsr - DorothyEnge!. A1so, a neighbor will be added when the homers residence is established.
Thi.s group of people witl have conplete kaowledge of all things related to the
opelation of the hoEe. They will be "watchdogs of the public purse,rr They will
ensure that the public gets its dollars worth from the selvice. The prograrns
which the county now uses do not provide this t)'pe of public accountability.
The second group will be'Ihe Adnissions Cotfinittee. Ths Adnrissions ConmitteevilI be Phil Engh 8nd Ellie Witlett of the Carver County Fanily Service Departnent,
and Gary and Sandy Cooper. This Comnittee will screen candidatos for the prograllto ensure that a need exists. They will also have an input lnto ths prografining
nseds for the child, and assist in discharge planning and follor,r-up.
B. Cost of the Progran
Presently, the progran will cost the county $18.50 per day per child, Mr. Cooper
believes this to be a liberal estimate of the cost. The Advisory Board will bein a position of making leconuendations for altering the per dien rate, should
the progran be able to be run on a lesser cost per day. The Coopers have some
ideas on how to keep costs at a rninimum. For exarople, the Coopers plan on heving
a garden, teaching sewing to the youths, and naking wise pulchases.
The follouing table represents the costs that the Fanily Service Depaltment has
incurred with children since January, !97!.

C. Rationale of Helpin g Children Early
lVhen irying to ascertain the worth of an investnont, the cost of the proglanin this case, the i.nvestor must look at both long and short range benefits
of the investnent. In the Coope, Group Home progran, the taxpayer will be
the investor. The progra.n the Coopers are establishing is costly ($18,50
per day per child). The estimated length of stay for a child will be three
nonths to a year.
What will the taxpaye! get flon this investment? The taxpayer will have a
youth r.rho pre.viously was not functioning in a socially acceptable way and
who is now functioni.ng appropriately. Hopefully this could save nany tax
dol1ars. Children with severe behavior prob).ems will probably grow up to
be adultE with behavior problems.
Ar exa$ination of the follouring facts will illustrate noney that could be
saved.

As can be seen, if we turn our backs on human beings when they ate young,

of humans neans that they wonrt pay taxes, and this costs all other taxPayers

There are ntany other long lange costs which canrt bo measured, These include

D. PublicAccountabilir v
Public accountability is another factor that is unique to this progran. Thisaccountability will be perforrred by two separare groups of peopie.- The firstg:gyp, anq most inportanr group of people, is to be raiintrining the account_ability of this prograin witl be the- Boird of Advisors made up if 1oca1 people.already naned. They will ensure rhat this prograro .is 6) effective, and'(bjfinancially -straightforward. This wi.rI be iccomplished'in an ordeily manner.The Board of Advisors will neet at least once a mont.h. At these ,oonlh:.y meetingsthe piogress of each indivirlual. youth witl be discussed. The nerabers of the
Board will give_ Gary and sandy feedback as to the plogress or lack of progressthey see in each youth. They will also help deter;in; goals for each youltr
and make certain that these goals are worked on and net as closely as possible.If over a period of t,ixle the prog3am see,ns to be not working for i youih,the Board nembers will nake recomnendations to the coopers ind the Familyservices staff that he or she be reconsidered as an uni.rorkable candidate- for
.this progran.
Also at the monthly Board Eeetings, the Coopcls will present their expensesfor the previous month, If the Board nembeis feel that too rmrch mon"y is belngspent in a specific area, they will suggest that the budget be watched norecl-osely. If they feel that there ls gross rnishandling oi the money, they uill
make a reconnendation to the Faeily Sewice Board to ieconsider thl-fee 6eingpaid for each youth,
lllith these two areas under their scrutiny, the Board of Advisors will, ineffect, keep the prograa accountable to the public
The other group of people that will, be maintaining public accountability ofthe prograrn is the Evaluation staff of the university of l(ansas t Departnentof tfr.unan Development.. Since the Coopers have been through theit triining
workshop and will have an on-going conract with the peopie fron the univ;lsityof Kansas, their Evaluation staff rr'irl do an annual evaluation. This evaluationwill be based on how effective users of the program feel it to be, These users'r,rl1l include: the school,s, the !'amily Service Departnert, the youths involved,the youthsr parents, soci,al workers, neighbors of the Coopers, ihe Board ofAdvisors, and anyone clse who night have contact with the progran.
The Evaluat,ion Staff wj.ll contact all of these people and conpile a reportas to hohr these people feel about the effectivenesi of the pr6grarn. fiis
rEPort will then be sent to all of these people concerned. This annua 1 evaluationtrill be another neans of keeping this progran responsive to conrounity needs
and of holding the prograxn accountable to meet those neods,
E. Qralifications of Gary and Sandra Co oper
The Coopers are well qualified to run this progran. Grantod, thoy do not have
any children of their own, but both have .tad extensive exporience in workingvith children and youths.

Fj.nally, it should be noted that the consumers of the Achievement P1ace Progran
rate it highly. The consurners inch.rde local welfare, coults, corununity, fanj.lies
