Watertower, Suite 202 Meridian, ID 83642 RE: Request from Mr. and Mrs. Bohrn for variance: Vineyards Subdivision, Phase 2 Block 4 Lot 04 The Board of Directors for The Vineyards Homeowners Association has asked that I contact you regarding the request from Mrs. Bohrn to allow for the conversion of the three car garage into space for a pre-school. The Board opposes the request for two reasons. Mrs. Bohrn moved into the Vineyards and established the pre-school in violation of the restrictive covenants, Article II, section 2.1 that states that ho lot shall be used except for residential purposes, and no lot shall be used for the conduct of any trade or business. Secondly, section 2.1.2 states that .each lot shall include at least a two (2) car enclosed garage. Mrs. ~ohrn was contacted about the covenant violations. She informed the Association that the use of the property for a pre-school was temporary until she could locate a site suitable for the business. The Board approved a temporary conditional waiver. One of the conditions is that no vehicles may be parked on the driveway or street. .Her request to use the garage space for the pre-school suggests' she intends to use the property long term for the pre-school, and would need to park vehicles on the street or driveway, both in violation of the conditional waiver. The Board of Directors for the Vineyards requests that Planning and Zoning and the City of Meridian Council support the Association and its restrictive covenants which '" ".. . .._~..",,- P.O.Oox5714' Boõse.ldaho83705 .

Respectfully, Gil Thorsen at 1490-N. Santa Rosa PI. September 14, 2004 To : City Council of the City of Meridian From: Home Owners on North Santa Rosa Place Subj: Testimony Presentation Against Variance Request By Earl and Donna Bohnn Enclosure: Photographs of Existing Parking Conditions In accordance with your uCity of Meridian Notice of Hearing- dtd 9th of September, 2004 this written petition against the variance requested by Earl and Donna Bohrm is submitted with no animosity towards them and their residence in our community. We wish them the satisfaction of living in a neighborhood with a friendly, caring neighbors. Our issues against the variance request from MeC 11-10-6 to allow a childcare/preschool to be operated in a garage area of a single-family home in an R-4 zone is as follows: 1. Variance Is violation of the Vineyards Subdivision Covenants, Conditions, and Restrictions ProvIded for the furtherance of a general plan for the protection, maintenance, subdivision, improvement and sale of the Property, and to enhance the value, desirability and attractiveness of the Property. The Childcarejpreschool to be operated in a garage area of a single-family home is in violation of Article II, 2.1 of the Vineyards Subdivision General Covenants, Conditions, and Restrictions. 2. North Santa Rosa Place is a closed end Cul-de-sac that has traffic problems because of vehicles parked on either side of the road. This is a hazard to pedestrians and autos (see-attached photos). Any additional traffic will be a significant impact on the community. 3. We are very concerned about the impact to our property value and the ability to maintain a reasonable resale capability. 4. There is no community need for a childcare/preschool within the Vineyards. Near the entrance to the Vineyards Is the "Children Unique Style Childcare- (1915 W. Cherry Lane) which Is available to parents. S. There is no adequate parking for parents to safely discharge and pIckup their children because of the existing present conditions.
