DRAFT 4/16/18 MINUTES 6 what’s going on and to welcome comment, I wonder how many contentious cases – one particular 246 contentious case – that could be avoided. 247 248 Jay Kennett: We want to be a good neighbor to our neighbors. As soon as we started to talk about it, that 249 was one of the first components, how do we welcome the neighborhood. We invited people to come see 250 the space. Although we didn’t have a lot of people come, we did have a few people call me on the phone. It 251 was good to talk with them and everything was really positive. 252 253 Susan Halkiotis: I found that to be refreshing. 254 255 Patrick Mallett: Because of that effort, we didn’t have anyone at the information meeting or any calls. They 256 solved that information before the process began. 257 258 Randy Herman: You don’t anticipate issues of parking or people backing up on Davis Road? 259 260 Dan Rockaway: They pull in and it’s a long driveway in front of the church. No one backs out on Davis 261 Road. They turn around. Because we’re adding 22 children, it’s probably 16ish cars because there are 262 siblings. If there was ever an issue, we can always expand drop-off times. 263 264 Jay Kennett: Sounds and Colors has a little more spread out drop-off and pick-up times so there is not 265 nearly as much traffic as the other daycare that was there where everyone was dropping off and picking up 266 at the same time. There is definitely a time between 5 and 6 p.m. when most people are picking up, but it’s 267 more spread out on the other end. We have two driveways. Previously, the other daycare came in one 268 driveway and went out the other. And that could be an option. 269 270 Patrick Mallett: (showed on site plan overview) This one is more of a horseshoe through the site that goes 271 past the church. You could theoretically drop a kid off here or park and walk over. Also, there is an effort to 272 redefine the parking in here (indicated on site plan overview). Not to get too much into the technical aspects 273 of that, but it’s difficult to meet ADA compliance because of the pitch of the sidewalk, the route from the 274 vehicle to the doorway and through the doorway. I think they’ve solved that element, at least in my 275 conversations with James Baxter with inspections. 276 277 Matt Hughes: Am I reading this chart right that you are also adding spaces up here? 278 279 Jay Kennett: It’s just a little bit more defined than they are right now. The spaces are already down there. 280 281 Patrick Mallett: They will be marked. Right now it’s an undefined space. 282 283 Dan Rockaway: Everyone pulls straight down at the bottom. Every now and then we’ll have a visitor who 284 pulls in sideways. That’s probably twice a year. 285 286 Samantha Cabe: Is there any other person who wishes to give testimony or to be heard? Any other 287 witnesses? (There were none.) Is this the point where we close the public hearing? 288 289 Michael Harvey: Yes. You can have a motion to close the public hearing and I’ll reiterate that before you 290 enter your deliberations and close the public hearing, obviously staff and the applicant can’t answer any 291 questions. The attorney’s office can provide you direction as it relates to interpretation of the law and 292 implementation of the ordinance. And while Patrick Mallett has already covered this, I am going to make the 293 explicit statement for the record that staff has received no documentation, evidence, or any testimony from 294
