Granting permission for conditional use will allow the continuance of 24 hour respite care to infants and young children. These services are basically child guidance, phone counseling community education and phone referrals to appropriate community resources. Why the Services - The prevention of Child Abuse/Neglect is a very serious problem. Actual reported cases in Dade County in 1980 were 7,200. For each case reported nine (9) occur which do not reach the court/authoritative systems. In Dade County, child abuse reports are being received at the rate of 600-800 calls per month. In 1978 over 2,000 live births occured to girls under 18 years of age in our county. Children are being physically, emotionally and sexually abused daily in our community. Some of these children will die without ever being noticed. This facility came into existence as a result of the persistent efforts of The Junior League, National Council of Jewish women, and The Federated Junior Women's Clubs. Present funding for the nursery is directly attributable to the Legislative leadership of Senators Jack Gordon and Robert McKnight. The denial of our request for conditional use would close the only child abuse/neglect prevention facility in Dade County.

I feel it is very important that this facility remain open for the benefit of abused children. The program works closely with the Court and with Health and Rehabilitative Services and has been extremely effective in its efforts. Crisis Nursery is open twenty-four hours a day and acts as a refuge for abused and battered children. Coconut Grove is centrally located for all areas of Dade County and is accessible by major thoroughfares. If Crisis Nursery id not allowed to relocate in Coconut Grove, in my opinion it would be a great loss to the community and to all of Dade County. Sincerely.

W. 2nd Avenue Miami, Florida 33133 Dear Ms. Fox: The Parent Resource Center's Crisis Nursery Program has made application for conditional use of 3175 Jackson Avenue as a community based residential facility. The goal of this program is to prevent child abuse and neglect. It is the only center in the community that cares for infants and young children on an emergency basis. The nursery has been in operation for four years and has provided an invaluable service to this community and HRS. It is also an excellent example of a joint venture between the community and the state. To deny conditional use of this facility would mean that children in jeopardy would be left without advocates or respite care, and thousands of dollars and unknown hours of volunteer services which have made this center operational would have been wasted. I appeal to you to approve operation of this facility since the community is in need of the services being provided at the center. Very truly yours, Max B.

The Nursery was a culmination of four (4) years of hard work and determination to do something community our conunity to help combat a serious social proble-n, child abuse. They nursery has suroassed even our wildest expectations and provides an invaluable community service the prevention of abuse and neglect through not only serving as an alternative to the frustrated mother but to provide her with much needed counseling. The nursery has in no way been disruptive or had a detrimental effect on its present neighborhood and it would be unforseeable that it could change in any way its future neighborhood or pose a threat to the other property values in said neighborhood. The Junior t-loman's Club and its Potpourri Service Club at Coral Gables High School, have in the past and will continue in the future support the nursery as well as provide the necessary upkeep for aesthetically conforming to its future home.

We have been closely involved in nurtur- ing the Crisis Nursery from its inception four years ago. This innovative and very worthwhile project, a pre -abuse facility, is the first shelter for children of parents in distress in South Florida. It gives us great satisfaction to see the legislative and community support for this project continue to grow. The nursery,currently located in Coconut Grove at 3401 Williams Avenue, has proven to be an asset to all who live in the neighbor- hood; especially the children who congregate there and are treated in a warm, friendly manner. We urge the zoning board to approve the variance needed for our new location, 3175 Jackson Street, so that the Crisis Nursery may continue to serve the children of Dade County.
