Home My WebLink About2022-02-14 Mark and Nicle Neumann February 14, 2022 Hi Alan, My husband and I own two homes near 4175 S Leaning Tower Avenue in the Normandy subdivision in Meridian. We own 4189 and 4208. I talked with Kenny from the Fire Department and he recommended I reach out to you. The current daycare licensed up to six kids has been causing a lot of traffic and safety concerns for my tenants. This neighborhood was never designed to house daycares and CBH, the original developer told a different buyer just a few years ago in this same neighborhood who wanted to open a daycare, that they would not be allowed. (Our realtor used to work for CBH and is personally aware of this request that was denied.) These are small lots, only five feet apart with hardly any street parking. We’ve had to call code enforcement about this home’s illegal parking. They have been partially blocking my tenant’s driveway. They also park the wrong direction quite frequently as well. I personally almost hit one of the children in front of the daycare. It was in the afternoon and they had cars parked on both sides of the road. I saw the child right away and thankfully was going very slow. The child was standing next to an adult, but as soon as I almost cleared, the child immediately darted in front of my car. What was even more concerning is not a single adult that was outside with a child went after them or appeared to let them know how dangerous that was. As a mother, this was a terrifying situation for me and is a strong example of how there is not adequate parking to support the current daycare operation, since it appears the home has 4-5 cars of its own that are always parking on their driveway and street. Please let me know what we need to do to formally protest the application for the daycare to be expanded. Honestly, we are having a hard time understanding how they got licensed in the first place for up to six kids with the limited street parking and knowing the history that CBH said daycares would not be allowed in the Normandy subdivision. Thanks so much, Mark and Nicole Neumann
