temporary parking layout would be and have that available for the City Council
when this item goes before them next month or whenever. That's it.
MacCoy: Okay, good point. Any other questions, answers, what have you from
the public? If not, we'll close the public hearing and now Commissioners what is
your direction?
Nelson: Mr. Chairman, I would like to make a motion that the City Attorney
prepare Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law.
Smith: Second.
MacCoy: All in favor?
MOTION CARRIED: All aye.
MacCoy: Aye's have it, it'll be moved forward.
de Weerd: One comment Mr. Chairman, this will go to public hearing again at
City Council and so the neighbors should have a chance to look at the temporary
drawings so you will have a chance again to comment at that time what that first
phase would look like and I would like to compliment the church for drawing up
what you have and putting some time and effort into that.
MacCoy: Thank you. Moving on to item #7.
ITEM #7: FINDINGS OF FACT AND CONCLUSIONS OF LAW: REQUEST
FOR ACCESSORY USE PERMIT FOR HOME DAY CARE IN AN R-4 ZONE

WAY:
MacCoy: Coming forward.
Prior: Ma'am there's no need for any testimony so you can just have a seat if
you'd like. This is an approval of Findings of Fact, it's not necessary for you to
say anything.
MacCoy: Okay, I thought you were just coming forward to tell me something else
here. Commissioners, do you have anything you want to say on this?
Nelson: I have no comments.
Smith: I guess the only comment I've got is the Findings we are looking at
approving a family child care home which allows up to five children maximum
and I'm just concerned that that number is going to be complied with and I just

wanted to make that a matter of record again and I'm not going to dwell on it or
comment on it anymore because I know that the applicant has stated that she
has eight children, three of which were foster children that were going to go to
another day care and I guess I just want to bring that up again.
Prior: Just for your satisfaction Commissioner Smith, the City has at least two
additional Code Enforcement Officers that have been hired within the last couple
of weeks, obviously these Code Enforcement Officers will be making routine
checks around the City and this is one of the areas that they'll be emphasizing
and checking up on if - and it does say that in the Findings, if they discover that
there are more than five children at here home this permit will be revoked and if
she continues to fail to comply - I want to make clear, I'm not threatening
anybody alright, we'll take necessary actions okay so there will be a point where
we have Code Enforcement Officer's out there checking on these things so you
can rest assured that she'll have five children there and then she assured us I
believe at the hearing that there would be five kids and I think she addressed that
issue.
Smith: Right, I realize, that so I'm not going to drag it out any further.
MacCoy: Anything else? Commissioner Smith, anything else?
Smith: I'd like to make a motion that the Planning and Zoning Commission of the
City of Meridian hereby adopts and approves these Findings of Fact and
Conclusions of Law.
MacCoy: Okay, we'll have a roll call - do we have a second on that?
de Weerd: Second.
MacCoy: Thank you. Keep me straight here. Roll call on this.
ROLL CALL VOTE: Commissioner Smith - aye, Commissioner Nelson - aye,
Commissioner de Weerd - aye.
MOTION CARRIED: All aye.
MacCoy: And what is the decision?
Smith: Mr. Chairman, the Planning and Zoning Commission hereby decides and
approves the accessory use permit requested by the applicant for the property
described in the application with the conditions set forth in the Findings of Fact
and Conclusions of Law, more particularly set forth in paragraph 12 of the
Conclusions of Law and that the property be required to meet the water and
