26 Robert Davis: That has never been a problem, This language has been here for a long time, and no one has questioned it. Glenn Bowles: The only way it could happen is if there was rocky or sandy soil, which might be dangerous to the children. Renee Price-Saunders: I'm,just concerned about the arbitrary decision. Glenn Bowles: It may seem to be arbitrary to someone on the outside, but staff closely looks at this and it is obvious why the recommendation was made, ,Tay Bryan: They can make an appeal to the Board of Adjustment. Renee Price-Saunders: I know, Jay Bryan: Sam, when you were making your point about "disruptive", were you refemng from the point of view of the neighbors? Sam Lasris: Or the potential neighbors. I,just don't know where neighbors who learn about the possibility of facility, where they can raise their issues or rnake a complaint, and what are the standazds of the complaint process. Jay Bryan: What is the process? Robert Davis: Complaints come into the Deparhnent, and are reviewed by the Zoning Officer and members of the department. Complaints frequently come in, and we handle them. Zoning stays outside, and the State regulates the inside of the facilities, along with the Fire Marshal, Renee Price-Saunders: On p. 004, should that say "day care", or "child care home"? Glenn Bowles: I must have missed one. Jay Bryan: In section 8, the BOA approves those applications, so a person who is concerned about issues could address them to the Board of Adjustment. Renee Price-Saunders: But not all of the facilities go before the BOA. Robert Davis: Section 8 deals with lazge facilities, Section 6 relates to general zoning categories which is staff approval„ Large facilities are where the BOA is involved with the Special Use Permit process, Renee Price-Saunders: Not all facilities get approval. Jay Bryan: I think it has been an issue in Carrboro, with centers being fumed down by the BOA. It's an important issue.
