Mack: I represent Tamera Perkins Couch. 1 delivered some
documents to the Council in a black notebook and ] would like
that introduced as part of my record. I~ve also provided each of
you, the Council members~ a letter which is intended to give you
a summary of what l~m going to do here tonight to try to speed
things up. I will also be introducing exh1blts, maps and other
documents here tonight and would like that part of the record in
addition to my testimony and the testimony of any other parties.
Mr. Kingsford has any of the testimony that we previously had at
the Planning & Zoning Commission Hear1ng 1S that part of this
~necolnd, if it is that would make my testimony shmntern m~ is it
not part of the record?
Kingsford:
Counselor can we adopt that as part of the record?
Crookston:
It is part of the record for this applicat1on.
Mack: I w111 try to expedite what I have already previously
provided to the PlannIng and Zoning Comm1ssion at the prior
hearing. Before I get going J also have a letter from the Idaho
Hunger Council, it is really a recommendation letter on the
Tamera Perkins matter. I will submIt this to you as also part of
the record. Tamera PerkIns 1S actually Tamera Perkins Couch now
she got married. So in my letter you will see I refer to Mrs.
Couch~ the reason for that of course is that she is now married.
The applicant in this case 15 requesting a Conditional Use PermIt
for a Home Day Care. The appllcant has had a State Chlld Care
License facility and has been regularly caring for children from
seven tD twelve years~ since 1984. The property in which her
home is situated is located in a subdivision in WhICh many
children live. There are approximately thirty five children just
in the block where the property is located. The property is only
a few hundred feet from the Meridian Elementary School, which has
approximately seven hundred children in the first through the SIX
grades which attend that school. There is a great demand for In

home care of these children and younger children and the
applicant9s surrounding neighborhoods and the proposed use will
help meet these needs. The applicants residence is harmonious in
appearance wlth the eXIsting neighborhood, there are no signs or
other commercial indications of a child care operation. The
proposed use is not hazardous or disturbing to existing uses nor
are there any eXIsting uses Dr natural features in the area which
present a hazard to the children cared for on this property. The
property as it now stands today has a SIX foot fence surrounding
the back yard and I have some pictures to show you of that, WhICh
would minimIze the impact on adJolning neighbors, also minimIze
the nOIse. The proposed use is adequately served by eXIstIng
public facilities and will not create excessive additional
requirements within the neighborhood. There is adequate
roadways within the subdiVISIon for ingress and egress which I'll
get to and show you some diagrams here in a few minutes and that
allows easy ingress and egress from the facility. There is no
culdesacs in the subdivision. Some of the children in the
applIcants care simply walk to her home Dr others are from homes
that are WIthin the neIghborhood that don't require addItIonal
vehicular use. The traffic that IS generated from these uses of
the property as a group child care home has never been a problem
and at this tIme the applIcant9s property has the availability
far three parking spaces. The applicant agrees to pay any
addItional sewer, water or trash fees or charges if any
associated WIth the use. I would also assume Mr. Kingsford that

West 1st Street and West 4th Street there is adequate ingress and
egress from this subdivisIon to allow cars to come in here. The
applicant's property 1n th1s case is marked in blue. We have
either the parties here tonight to either testify, which I will
talk to about or in person which are the two adjoining neighbors
plus that neighbor across the street. The red back here 15 the
Elementary SChool, that I brIefly described. I think this 15
important to give you a visual view of where the property is
located. Presented an aerial view for Council. In addition I've
got two pictures here for you, these actually show the
applicant's back yard which is fully fenced. The children can't
get out of the back yard without going back through the house.
That's a six foot fence that is maintained by the applicant.
Rgain I'd like these as part of the record. What I've done in an
effort to expedite this hearing sInce we've gone through some of
this g~"ound befmhE.' is, I have t\.>JO types of testimony that' 5 being
presented tonight either through affidavit or through sworn
testImony. As I'm sure we are all aware, there was a previously
Court hearing involving this matter, at the trial of that case
there was sworn testImony gIven by many of the people that are
adjoining neighbors Dr affected by thIS matter. The notebook
that I provided to you gives that sworn statement and also the
affidaVIt's of the particular parties. Rather than read all of
those for you tonight, I would like you to know that those are
there by reference and I will briefly just go through those for
you in a summary fashion. The first affidavit 1n the notebook is
from Jesse Jackson. She is a next door neighbor to Tamera
Perkins, she 15 located about fifty feet from Tamera's house.
Basically what she'll indicate is that the facility is not noisy.
She is a next door neighbor and when the children are playing
that 15 does not disturb her or cause any undo noise within the
neIghborhood. The second affidavit contained in that IS the
affidavit Trudy Hadley. In case you don't recall Trudy Hadley is
a Day Care Operator which you previously approved a Conditional
Use Pe~~mit. She is lite~hally is next door to 1iame~"a Peddns, she
also indicates that the facility IS not noisy. That is one of
MERIDIAN CITY COUNCIL
NOl). 6, 1991
PAGE 5
the issues that was brought up earlier is whether there was a
reasonable amount of nOlse from th15 Day Care facillty and she
supports as a next door neighbor that there is not any undo noise
,'Hthin the neighbot~hood. The neNt one is ft~om Deanna Ber~t~y~
that~s some sworn testimony from the court hearing. She also is
dIrectly across the street. She also indIcates that the children
there are no louder than any other children in the ne1ghborhood
and that the facility does not cause her any problems. So really
we've drafted for you the direct adjoining neighbors best we can
who indicate that they have no objection to the Care Facility.
The next affidavit IS Sharon Bixby. Sharon Bixby is a little
unusual is a little unusual in that she is the director of the
Child Care Connections and what we had her do 15 under sworn
affIdavit is give some information to you Council members about
how there is a need for home day care centers. In that she
reflects that the data reflects that the parents in Ada County
prefer to have their children cared for in homes of day care
providers located in their own homes and their children's schools
rather than gOIng to a profeSSIonal facility. She says with
respect to the MeridIan particular cIrcumstance according to the
United States Census Bureau, as of 1980, 47~ of the women in
Meridian with children under the age of six were in the work
force. The main family Income in Meridian was $16,472.00. Child
Care Connections calculations based on this data indicate that
282 children~ ages 0-4 and 346 children ages 5-9 years living in
Meridian need a child care. In 1989 G3~ of the Meridian parents
calling ChIld Care Connections expressed a preference for home
environment rather than the InstitutIon environments. Next is an
affidavit of Kay Brown. She again supported that the Perkin~s
operation was a good quality organization and provided good
quality cal~e. l>Je have an some testImony fr~om Barbar~a Knapp.
From sworn testimony she also believes that there IS good child
care being provided here. That her daughter actually attended
Tamera's day care operation and they were very happy with the
kind of servIce that was being p~ovided. For your reference, and

mostly just for your legal Counsel's and part of our record is we
have the City of Meridian, Tamera Perkins memorandum decision by
the Court in that and we've got that for record purposes. If I
look at what happened at the Planning & ZonIng Commission
Hearing, really I think there is only two issues that we had
complaints on. The first complaint was whether or not it's a
problem to have a second day care facility in this neIghborhood
when you've got one next door. Directing your attentIon to the
Findings of Fact and ConclUSIons of Law on Page 10 of the
Planning and Zoning Commission, #11 states that the OrdInances of
the City of Meridian do not address the location of two day care
facilities next to each other, other than or WIthin a certain
radIUS that is concluded that the locatIon of two day care
facilities next to each other is not a ground upon whIch a permIt
for a day care facility eQuId be denied. I would concur with
that, I don't think there is any legal basis for you to deny a
day care faCIlity for that reason. The only then remainIng
complaint, that is evident, was the question of whether there was
noise. From the affidavits that I've given you from the
adjoining plhopelhty Oi'Jne)hs, I don't think the)he is a pl~oblem Nith
undo nOlse. I will admIt that that has been a contested matter
at the I 0 t>~ elM 1 eve 1. The 0 n e , a 1 tho ugh wee 0 n C I.llh vn t h the
majolhity of the Findings of the Planning and Zoning Commission,
we take exception with one particular section and that's sections
14 D & E, found on page 11 of the Findings. What that Flnding
concluded is that was the requirement that if she wants to have
the chlldren outside she would haye to have in essence a child or
an adult of sixteen years or older actually work for her to
supervise the children while they are outside. The practical
affect if you requIre that condition is you will cause her to go
out of business. She is a sole operator, she is a sole
proprietor and this IS her means of her livelihood. If you mIght
imagIne that if you now requIre her to add a second party which
she really doesn't need to run the facility, you in essence are
saying we don't want you to operate and we are going to In
essence force you out of business. I'm hesitant at a public
MERIDIAN CITY COUNCIL

PAGE 7
forum such as thIs to provIde tax returns of that nature because
I think they are very sensitive if the Council's believes thIS
necessary I'd be glad to submit those to your legal Counsel with
the understanding that they be confidential and you could review
those. The problem with say having a sixteen year old or some
other person at the facility, that's not what happens. She 15
going to go get workmans compensation insurance, unemployment
ins'.n~ance, she has to pay soc1al secl.wity ta>tes, In other wmhds
she then expands her bUSIness in a whole nother fashion then if
she already has that. So it's not an economic affect of just
having a pEllnson the)~e you vwuld cha)~ge $4.50 an hOln~, it is all
the attendant she would have to expand her bUS1ness whIch In
essence since she doesn't need it and she's on a limited amount
of income that she can actually earn from that she just can't
make the facility operate. We would request that the City
Council conSIder the alternative put forth in my letter and that
alternative is why don't you Just limIt the amount of tIme frames
that these children can be outside. As I set forth in my letter
we wDuld propose that the children only be allowed outside the
day care from 10:30 A.M. to 12:00, and from 3:30 to 5:30
obviously on days that weather permits. What this would do 1S
restrict to a much greater degree the children being outside and
if there 1S a noise consideration we have now reduced that
substantially. I think that is a workable compromIse WhICh the
applicant can lIve WIth and she can still maintaIn her business
and not suffer thIS severe economic detriment that the other
conditions would cause her. Does anybody have any questions?
Giesler: Is there any other agency or Department of Health and
Welfare that requires anythIng like this in their lIcensing or
anything as far as supervision?
l1ac~(: No.
Kingsford: I think an issue is the noise. I'd hate to see the
chIldren be limited but I think they ought to be attended so that
there is reasonable control over the noise.

Mack: I would prefer that there is no regulation concerning the

Planning & 10ning Commission we are willing to live w1th th15
compromise. No I don't think it is 1n the best interest of the
children but if we are addressing the concerns of the complaints
within the community about noise, this is really the only
practical way I can see to make it work.

Layne Saxton, 1319 W. 7th, Meridian was sworn by the attorney.
Saxton: I have a petitJon to be entered into the record with 30
signatures of people who oppose the day care. I'm here to
speak on behalf of my grandparents Neal & Inez Hudson who oppose
the grant of a conditional use permit to operate a day care
applied by Tamera Perkins. The Hudson~s built their home 35
years ago at 232 W. WashJngton with the intentIon of retiring in
this home in the small community of Mer1dian. Now at the tIme of
their lIves that they planned on~ much less deserved, the peace
and quiet of their home and planned on spending the rest of their
of theIr lives 1n there is nothing but turmoil. The Hudson's
property is located directly behind Tamera Perkins. It is only
39 feet from the back of the Hudson's home to the Perkins back
yard. The nOIse from the day care cannot be avoided. The
Hudson's bedrooms are situated at the back of their home and due
to theJr age and occasional ill health they require a great deal
more rest. Perkin's home is located at 233 W. Cherry Ave., which
used for day care purposes 15 located rIght next door to Trudy
Hadley at 225 W. Cherry Ave. who also operates a day care
facility in her home. It has been previously stated by Perkin's
attorney at the PlannIng & Zoning that Mrs. Hadley cares for

all balls down to lS one day care is one thing but two day cares
permit to operate side by SIde on these tiny lots is simply
unacceptable. The noise from up to twenty four chlldren between
the two day cares especially in the warmer months 15 greater than
any noise from Meridian Elementary School, which is located 148
feet from the front of the Hudson's home to the edge of the
school yard. E~plained recesses at the school. (Tape on File)
W1th the six foot fence around both Perkin's and Mrs. Hadley home
they act as a noise amplIfier that kind of has a band shell
effect on the noise. Again it's plain and simple that there
should not be two day cares permitted to operate side by side in
the small area that there is to operate this type of business.
Not to mention the supervIsion prOVIded at this day care1 which
in the past has been real problems with no supervision of the
children when they are placed in Perkin's back yard and left to
play 751. of the time.

Hancock: I'm here to speak on behalf of Tamera Perkins and I'm
very much in favor of her receiving the Conditional Use Permit.
I came to know Tamera by selling Avon in her neighborhood. At
that time I did not have a need for day care. I have a 2 1/2

went over there to deliver her Avon and those sort of things the
children were always 50 well behaved and it was always quiet over

way that the children behaved compared to other day cares that I
had seen. There is a tremendous need from the women that I'Ve
talked to in Meridian for day care in this area. I wanted my
Chlld to be 1n an environment where he would be properly
supervised and disciplined in a manner according with my own
beliefs and feelings and I have found that he 15 getting that at

Giesler: One of the maln Issues that she has brought up is
having tWD day cares side by side. How long has Trudy been
there? What I'm getting at 15 even though Tammy was operating
without a COndJtlonal Use she was there and you guys were already
used to that business beIng there yet you never came forth about
the second one gOIng next to her on the other side.
Agull~l~e :
Yes we signed Trudy'S petition.
Giesler: I know for a fact that she has been in business for at
least seven years if not longer. One of your main issues is that

you put another bUSIness next to hers.

Laura Kay Brown, 3459 Sugar Creek Drive, MerIdian, was

Si>~DrTI by
Brawn: Tamera cared for my children for five years. We have
been 1n thIS with her from the beginning. During the time that
she took care of them they have always received excellent care.
She takes a personal interest in her kIds. Even though my girls
aren't at Tamera's anymore she is a dear friend and she always
will be. We chose in home care for our kids because we wanted a
situatIon similar to what they have at home. I to do not believe
1n a total ChIld care facility. I want my children to be able to
be kids and have fun and to play. Tamera has always worked
around my schedule. When we moved into our house we changed
school districts, she made arrangements wlth us to avoid having
an additional stress on our kids of moving out of the
neighborhood they were familiar WIth, she car pooled them back
and forth to school for a year before we took them Qut of her
facility because they had out grown a need for day care. The
acquisition's as far as the superVIsion they receive are
offenSIve to me. I have been there any time of the day and I
have never found a situations that have been stated. There is
noise, you have child}"'en you~~ going to have noise. They have
never been out of control, I've have never known of anyone being

would have been hurt by now. I sympathize with the Hudson}s,

Crookston: Apparently there must be situations where Tammy can~t
be around all the children all the time or not all the kIds are
outsIde all at once or they are not all inside all at once. It
doesn~t seem to me as though is she is with the kids supervising
them all together that~ she would be the adult supervisor. If
that is not the case then it does address the need for additional
help. This was a means the PlannIng and ZonIng felt to control
the noise that had been addressed and still provide some latitude
in allowing the use to be approved.

another 150 fol~s that would say they were In favor of It. I
think there is a need for a day care. I have to say that I
wasn~t really in favor of it and I'm not really eHcIted about it

that the restrictions of when the kids can be inSIde and outsIde

supervISIon if they are going to be out there.

them. I can see them, I can hear them and I know what they are
doing so it's never been a problem.
Myers: So what your saying is they are always in the back yard,
they are not out in the front yard.
Perkins: They have been allowed to play in the front yard but
one of the conditions of the Planning and Zoning Commission was
that the front yard be fenced and I have no problem with that.

tonight. I also have a request on a waIver of the property that
has come up concerning the property. Handouts passed out to
Council showing the type of buildIng to be constructed and a
condensed site plan draWIng. We have since been informed that we
have a py'oblem on the E. 2 1/2 St.reet side of tlus pl~Opey.ty VJhich
runs between the property and the rear of the Payless Shopping
Center. On that particular side of the property there are power
poles that run down along SIde thIS piece of property that are
Indeed out in the right of way. If we indeed are required to
build curb, gutter and sidewalk on that partIcular side it would
mean that we would have to move all those power lines. At thIS
point we went out and did a cost analYSIS of that and talked with
Idaho Power and it was estimated that it could run as high as
555,000.00 to do that and that was just make this project totally
cost prohibited to do it. So I'm asking along with the rezone
that you would conSIder waiving just this partIcular side. I Old
have a meeting with ACHD and the result of that meetIng was that
they were willing to waive that if the Meridian City Council was.
I'd be happy to answer any questions you may have.

Terry Edwards: I am pastor of the Seventh Day Adventist Church
hel~e in Meridlan~ We are In the pl~ocess of getting t0gethel~
funds for a bUIldIng proJect. We dId sell our bUIldIng that was
at Carlton and 2 1/2 Street. We are now renting the Methodist
Church and they have given us the use of that facility for one
year. In the meantime we are trying to get the funds together
and we are havlng an architect draw up some plans. We've got
Briggs EngineerIng doing our SIte work and one of the things we
dIscovered as we got into this project whIch we were not aware of
15 the fact that we would be reqUIred to do curb, gutter and
sidewalk and extend the asphalt out to the eXIsting road. That
was somethIng that when we purchased the property we were not
aware of. ThIS is going to put a financial burden on us that's
MERIDIAN CITY COUNCIL
1',.10 \) . b , 19 g 1

gOIng to be quite dIfficult to bear. The op~Jons that we see is
either we will have to delay construction for possibly one or two
years and face the risIng construction costs when we do begin
bUIlding. Or perhaps we will have to borrow more money whIch
will take our monthly expenditure much higher than we can
reasonably afford. We are willing to work with the C1ty. What
we would lIke to do is glve you a number of options, of course
you can tell ltS none of .them and we will just 11Bve <to bite .the
bullet. What we would lIke to do is ask that you not require us
to do curb, gutter and sidewalk along e1ther the Cherry or along
the Ten Mile, that's our first request. The second request would
be that perhaps 1T you do require us to do it along Cherry you
wouldn't require us to do 1t along Ten Mile. If you do requIre
us to put It along both we'd ask that perhaps you glve us maybe
two years or more period of grace so that we could continue our
construction plans and get into our facility. Along with that
which we think would be very helpful is if you would maybe gIve
us that same tWD year period of grace on the required parklng
