Plymouth Forum
Deb Bomberg, 10215 28th Avenue North, stated she is disappointed that Gianni Homes was able
to open a group home facility in her neighborhood without any notification to surrounding
neighbors. She stated she's concerned about the increased traffic and parking of cars in front of
her home, as well as the future potential of Gianni Homes increasing their resident population to
more than six individuals. She said that the City should provide notice to all surrounding
neighbors in the future.
Councilmember Stein said the permits for group homes are issued through the State, and by State
Statute they are allowed up to six individuals. He stated if Gianni Homes desires to increase their
population, they would need to apply for a permit which would require approval by the Council.
There are about 50 group homes throughout the City and there haven't been any issues. He added
if the traffic becomes a problem, Ms. Bomberg should call 911 or the City.
Esta Goodman, 10225 28th Avenue North, asked if the value of her home would be depreciated
because of this group home in her neighborhood. Mayor Slavik replied properties in close
proximity to other group homes in the community haven't seen a decrease in their values.
