To members of the Commission:
Re: Proposed Pammy Cakes Childcare, 672 E Baldwin, Meridian
CUP 06..037
City of Meridian Unified Development Code;
Master Declaration of Covenants, Conditions, Restrictions &
Easements (CCR) for Bedford Place Subdivision
As stated in the CCR, Section 5.1, lots shall be used only for residential
purposes; Section 5.13 No lot shall be used at any time for commercial or
business activity.
The inception of a day care center violates the CCR sections.
In addition, this business would not enhance the area due to
Increased traffic and noise, illegal U-turns, and would jeopardize
the safety of youngsters in the immediate ares. Rather, it will
detract, which can cause, and probably will have an impact on
property values as well as "opening the door" to other businesses
not only in this subdivision, but others within the City of Meridian.
The petitioners do not intend to occupy 672 E Baldwin as a primary
or secondary residence and stated the same at the neighborhood
meeting. They will continue to reside in a subdivision, zoned R..2,
which does not allow for/or petitioning the P & Z Commission for
this type of business.
Based on the fact that there are 13 businesses of this type within a
three4mile area from 672 E Baldwin, certainly does not create a
need in this subdivision.

At the neighborhood meeting, the petitioners stated that the hours
of operation would be Monday through Friday, 7:00 a.m. through
5:15 p.m. and that the number of children attending would be 12,
including grandchildren. However, according to City of Meridian
Unified Development Code, Chapter 4, Section 114..3.9 it would
allow hours from 6:00 a.m. to 11 :00 p.m. and increase the number
of children attending, because the operators' children are excluded
from the number allowed, allowing the petitioners to increase
attendees without further hearings for an extension of services.
As per the CCR, a Homeowners' Association was established for the
purpose of providing self.govemment for the properties and to ensure the
enhancement and preservation of property values. Granting of CUP 06-037,
undermines the ability of the association to perform as intended and could lead to
deterioration in many areas of this subdivision.
I further object to having to defend my granted rights against outsiders
who do not reside in this subdivision and appear to have no concern about the
CCRs.
Therefore, I ask you, the Commission to deny CUP.06.037, Pammy
Cakes Childcare, without further consideration or appeal.
Thank you.
Sincerely,
