Edgar Court, Located in an R-8 Zooe by Kathy Jordan (File No. CUP-02-038). We have reviewed this submittal and offer the following comments, as conditions of the applicant. These conditions shall be considered infull, unless expressly modified or deleted by motion of the Meridian City Council: APPLICATION SUMMARY The applicant, Kathy Jordan, has requested approval of a group childcare home at 410 E. Edgar Court. Approved group childcare homes may care for up to twelve (12) children each day and requires the approval of a conditional use permit in the R-8 zone prior to beginning the daycare use. In 1997, the applicant was approved for a family childcare home permit to care for up to five children in her home at the subject property. The applicant maintained the daycare permit at her home until 1999, when she opened a commercial daycare at 1131 Cherry Lane, dba "Kinder Kollege." Presently, the applicant has decided to leave the daycare operation on Cherry Lane and is looking fur a different location to either construct or locate a new daycare facility. Several months ago the applicant attempted, unsuccessfully, to obtain a conditional use permit to move the daycare to 1930 N. Linder Road (File No. CUP-02-021). Until the applicant can find a suitable location for a new daycare facility, she wishes to use her own home as a daycare facility for up to twelve children. This will allow her to maintain and serve a portion of her clientele and to continue providing work for two employees. The lease for the Kinder Kollege day facility on Cherry Lane ended on November 30th and the applicant began running the daycare at her home, without a conditional use permit, starting on Monday, December 2, 2002. Code Enforcement received a complaint and has visited the home to noritY the applicant that the operation of the daycare without a permit is illegal, and is pWlishable as a misdemeanor. At the time, no action had been taken by the applicant to cease operation of the daycare. CUP.()2.()38 Jordan, Kathy.CUP Planning & Zoning CommissionlMayor & City Council December 13, 2002 Page 2 LOCATION & SURROUNDING USES The subject property is located at 410 N. Edgar Court, approximately V. ofamile east of Meridian Road and 50 feet south of Us tick Road. The following uses surround the subject property: North - Ustick Road and rural residential land, zoned RUT (Ada County). South - Single-family dwellings, zoned R-8. East - Single-family dwellings, zoned R-8. West - Single-family dwellings, zoned R-8. STANDARDS FOR CONDmONAL USES The Commissioo and Council shaD review the particular facts aod circumstances of each proposed cooditiooal use in terms of the foUowiog and may approve a conditional use permit if they shall fiod evideoce presented at the hearing(s) is adequate to establish (11-17-3): A. That the site is large enough to accommodate the proposed use aod aU yards, open spaces, parkiog, landscapiog aod other features as may be required by this ordioante; Staff finds that the subject property is large enough to accommodate the requested childcare use, however parking for the proposed use appears to be limited to on street parking and pick up. With two staff members and the homeowner's own vehicles parked in the driveway and/or garage, there will not be any room for customer parking in the driveway, and will therefore be required to park in the street. The MCC does not prohibit street side parking and loading for residentially located childcare facilities. However, additional parking in the street may adversely affect neighboring residential uses. B. That the proposed use aod developmeot plao wiD be harmonious with the Meridian Comprehensive Plan aod io accordaoce with the requiremeots of this Ordioaoce; The current Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map designates the property as "Medium Density Residential". Stafffinds that the requested childcare use is a conditional use within the Meridian Zoning Ordinance and is in hannony with the Comprehensive Plan. C. That the desigo, construction, operation, aod maioteoaoce will be compatible with other uses io the general oeighborhood aod with the existiog or intended character of the general vicinity aod that such use will oot adversely change the essential character of the same area; Staff finds that the proposed daycare use may have the effect of changing the residential character of the existing neighborhood by bringing in non-residential traffic into an CUP-<l2-<l38 .Jordan, Kathy.CUP Planning & Zoning CommissionlMayor & City Council December 13,2002 Page 3 existing residential subdivision. F onnal complaints have been registered with the Meridian Code Enforcement Officer by neighbors of the applicant regarding extensive on-street parking, frequent trips by child-transport vans and other nuisance matters related to the illegal daycare operation. Staff recommends that the Commission and Council carefully consider public testimony offered at the public hearing prior to making this finding. D. Tbat the proposed use, if it complies with all conditioos of the approval imposed, will oot adversely alTect other property io the vicioity; Commission and Council should rely upon public testimony to determine if the development will adversely affect the other property in the vicinity. E. That the proposed use will be served adequately by esseotial public facilities aod services such as bighways, street, police, aod tire protectioo, draioage structures, refuse disposal, water, sewer or that the person respoosible for the establishmeot of proposed conditional use shall be able to provide adequately aoy such services; Staff finds that the proposed development will be adequately served by the essential public facilities and services listed above. F. That the proposed use wiD not create excessive additional requirements at public cost for public facilities aod services and will oot be detrimental to the ecooomic welfare of the community; Staff finds that the proposed use would not be detrimental to the economic welfare of the community, nor would it create the need for any new facilities or services to be paid for by the public. G. That the proposed use will oat iovolve activities or processes, materials, equipment, and cooditioos of operation that wiD be detrimeotal to aoy persoos, property, or general welfare by reason of excessive production of traffic, ooise, smoke, fumes, glare or odors; Staff finds that excessive traffic, noise (if children are properly supervised), smoke, fumes, glare or odors will not result from the proposed childcare use.

L That the proposed use will oat result io the destructioo, loss or damage of a oatural, sceoic or historic feature coosidered to be of major importance. Staff finds that no natural or scenic feature will be lost, damaged or destroyed by issuance of this conditional use. SITE SPECIFIC REOUIREMENTS I. All landscaping shall be continuously maintained and any dead or dying vegetation shall be replaced upon request from the City. 2. No signage is permitted as part of this application. If any is proposed it shall be in compliance with the City of Meridian's Sign Ordinance. Temporary or portable signs or banners are prohibited, and will be removed upon 3 days notice to the applicant. 3. All construction and site improvements shall conform to the requirements of the Americans with Disabilities Act and the UBC (1997 Uniform Building Code). The UBC defines all buildimls used in the daycare of6 or more children as an E-1II occupancv and must then meet all standards as set forth in the UBC for such an occu!,ancy. 4. The applicant shall meet all of the licensing requirements of the State ofIdaho prior to beginning operation.

Pursuant to the applicant's letter submitted with the application, no more than 12 children per day may be cared for by the applicant at her home located at 4 ION. Edgar Court. RECOMMENDATION Staff is concerned by the fact that the applicant is knowingly violating existing City Code by operating the daycare without a conditional use permit at this time. Staff cannot recommend approval of this application for the daycare use at this location because of the existing violation. Staff recommends that the City Council and the Planning and Zoning Commi~sion rely on public testimony regarding affect the proposed daycare/existing illegal daycare facility will have on the existing residential neighborhood. CUNJ2-038 .Jordan, Kathy.CUP . ASSOCIATION MANAGEMENT, INC. Specializing exclusively in homeowners' association management since t 984 Date: December 10, 2002 TO: Mike Audens, President Bedford Place Homeowners Association FROM: David Crandall RE: Business Use of Common Areas I am responding to your inquiry about the possible effect on the insurance coverage of the Association if a business used the common areas owned by the Association. I was able to speak with Angela Webb with State Farm Insurance. She indicated that your liability policy could be affected if a resident operated a business from a home in the Association and were to use the common areas for a business related activity. If an event occurred from use of the common areas, it is probable that the Association would be named in any litigation. A first claim made against the Association would result in an increase in your premium by 20 percent. A second claim would result in the cancellation of your policy. Securing a liability policy for your Association could be difficult. Chubb Insurance and Pipal Anderson Insurance companies no longer insure homeowner associations and she was not aware of any other insurance companies that provide homeowner association insurance. She encouraged you to take action to prevent the use of the common areas by a business. If you need any further information, please let me know. .RECEIVED DEe 12 2002 City Of Meridian City Clerk Office -'-,,: ,.-," ::;<K""'0'~1h. P.O. Box 5714 . Boise, Idaho B3705 .

Box 5714 . Boise. Idaho 83705 . (208) 385-9650 Bedford Place Homeowners December 9,2002 The Board of Directors for Bedford Place has received notification that a resident of the Association has filed an application with the City of Meridian to operate a Day Care Center business from their home on E. Edgar Court. The application indicates they will provide care to a minimum of twelve (12) clients. The Board of Directors met to discuss this matter and concluded that having this business as proposed would not be in the best interest of the subdivision. The principal concerns the Board identified are: Cl It would increase traffic on our streets as non-residents drive into the subdivision. Cl It creates a traffic hazard; cars must use a cul-de-sac to access and egress the proposed Day Care facility. Cl It could cause of decline in property values. Cl There would be increased noise. Cl Neighbors are opposed to the Day Care Center. Cl There is inadequate parking to accommodate staff and visitors. Cl The restrictive covenants specifically prohibit commercial or business activity at properties within the subdivision. Cl The restrictive covenants prohibit exterior modifications to a Lot without the prior approval of the Architectural Review Committee and the type of improvements that might be necessary to modifY the property for a Day Care Center are inconsistent with the standards of the Association. Cl The application does not limit the number of clients that may use the Day Care Center, it only states there will be a minimum of twelve (12) clients. Cl The subdivision was intended for single family residential use. Cl The operation of a business at the property would cause a decline in the appearance of the residence. Cl Allowing one business in the subdivision could open the door to other home based businesses. Ibis would erode the quality of life for all residents. Cl The business is not harmonious with the esthetic qualities of the subdivision. The Board of Directors recommends that members of the Bedford Place Homeowners Association oppose the application of the permit to operate a Day Care Center on E. Edgar Street.

The teachers at Kinder Kollege have been wonderful to my son. The teaching that is done there is exceptional such as: Infant sign language, forgien language, and many other activities. As a parent that has to take a child to daycare I want nothing but the best for my son, I have found that at Kinder Kollege. It would be wonderful if they were able to expand into a bigger daycare. Having more space for the children could have even a greater gain for my son and all of the other children. Sincerely, To whom 11 may concern: It is the opinion of myself and my wife that the Kindergarten College (operated bv Kathv Anderson) is a completely worry free daycare. Kindergarten College is one of only a select few deemed suitable for our children. Not only is it a clean and healthy environment, but the children are also occupied with learning activities and regimens, We have used Kindergarten College for two years and feel that we get personal care not just the typical sterilized chain store service. Our children enJoy interacting with the other children at Kindergarten College and consider them friends All in all Kindergarten College rates an A+ In mv opinion Sincerely - ~ Merrill~ish. ;?'<;:.rk. /'111 /. ~ ,., / I //--;// / 'v/'/ ,j; v;:; ~ .~' Lisa Rish //// /~ "V'-" Robin Black 104 West Crestwood Drive Meridian, ID 83642 August 27, 2002 Subject: Kinder Kollege To Whom It May Concern: I have been sending my two children to Kinder KolIege for the past two years.

Sincerely, ,<< oI1t! &l aC LJ Robin Black Mother of David and Jacob Black, Ages -; "nd 4 . 09/03/2002 Dear Kinder Kollege, We just wanted to let you know how pleased we are with all the teachers and the everyday atmosphere that exists at Kinder Kollege. We have noticed how many of the teachers are committed to the one on one care that we so desire for our two boys. The manners the boys continue to use shows that your staff is concerned about raising good well- mannered children. The hands-on experience the boys have every day they spend with your staff helps them to understand many of the small daily detailed items we would focus on ourselves and we feel it is wonderful for the children. We appreciate the fact we know the boys aren't just sitting in a room watching TV. day in and day out and that they are actually getting out into the community and seeing and experiencing such learning experiences as the grossology museum and the weekly activities of the tumble bus. I would hope that you continue to teach the Spanish and sign language. We enjoy the thrill the boys have when they are able to teach something to us. Thanks again. We hope you'll continue doing all the good work you do. Sincerely, Richard & Julie Gummersall /{/;1 ~ .-J vl0-- G\M'f\~ s0Y2 August 29,2002 Re: Letter of Recommendation for Kinder Kollege To Whom It May Concern: I want to start off by saying that my husband and I feel very blessed to have found Kathy and her staff at Kinder Kollege. Our little gir( Riley, is two-years old and loves going to Kinder Kollege. Our first experience with daycare in Meridian was . absolutely horrible so when we found Kinder Kollege it was as if our prayers had been answered. I feel completely comfortable leaving her there every morning because I know that she is in great hands. They constantly have activities going for the children which keeps their minds stimulated and their bodies active. Our /title girl even knows a few different words in sign language. Riley has gotten to take part in a couple of the outings at Kinder Kollege, such as going to Zoo Boise, and at least once a week they all walk to the park. She also loves Thursdays because that is when the Tumble Bus comes. Kathy and her crew have always been extremely dependable, cooperative and flexible with us and our needs. Bottom line... I can't communicate enough to you how lucky we are to have found Kinder Kollege and I would recommend anyone to toke their child(ren} to Kinder Kollege. Sincerely, \J/J't ICi/'J-tJ1f<-J Casey & Roni Harlan September 6, 2002 To Whom It May Concern. My son who is three years old and my daughter who is eight years old have been attending Kinder Kollege for one year and they both love it. The staff is very dedicated to meeting each individual child needs. They have very flexible hours, reasonable rates with flexible payment schedules, and they serve very nutritional meals for breakfast. lunch, and also at snack time. During the school year Kinder Kollege has very structured and fun class times, with classrooms that will best fit your child's age group. My son has learned so much, for example: his a. b.c' s, how to speak in Spanish, his colors, and even some sign language. When my daughter attends Kinder Kollege after school, they tudor her in subjects that she is struggling with in school. During the summer they go in field trips to the Idaho Botanical Gardens and the Zoo just to name a few. They also attend swimming lessons, go to the park, or sometimes you will walk up to a water fight. I can not imagine other parents disagreeing with me when I say this truly is a safe and great place for your children. Thank you, CJv'_(O!cU d-tiJf2/ u 1.../ Crystal Tropf February 15, 2000 RE: Kinder Kollege To whom it may concern: When I was asked if I would write a letter of reference for Kathy Anderson Jordan, I accepted without hesitation. I have been taking my son Jared to Kathy's. full-time 7:15a-5:45p. for almost two years. June will be the two year mark. Kathy has been a godsend for my family and me. Jared had been kicked out of three daycare facilities by the time I found Kathy through childcare connections. Kathy was more than willing to give Jared a trial run. Jared loved Kathy immediately. He is very excited to go to her place and gives her lots of hugs and kisses when he has to leave at the end of the day. Jared had a hard time playing with other children and often had many confrontations during the day. Kathy alwavs explained his day to me in a way that said we will try again tomorrow and I am sure it will be better, She never gave up hope on Jared. In a very memorable instance she had indicated to me that some of the parents expressed their lack of patience for Jared's behavior and she in return explained to them that if she gives up on him so will the next person and the next and the next. It needs to stop somewhere and she was willing to keep trying. even if this meant he had to be her shadow. In September, 3 1>2 months after starting with Kathy, Jared was diagnosed with ADD/ADHD, and put on medication. life began to take on some normalcy and Jared was a new kid. If it wasn't for Kathy's patience. understanding, love and care for Jared, he would have been cast out to start over again and be rejected once more-he could not have taken that rejection again. I am very grateful for everything she has done and continues to do for Jared. Kathy's daycare facility is one that provides for fun learning and social interaction with other children. The daycare is always clean and full of smiling faces. There are many pictures and paintings on the wall to display the children's works of art and they will gladly show you which one is theirs. Jared expresses his love for Kathy even at our home and often asks on Saturday and Sunday why he is not going to Kathy's today. This bond and stability helps Jared cope with the many struggles he still has today.
