RE: Donna & Thomas West application for an Accessory Use Permit
We are immediate neighbors to Donna and Thomas West in that our backyards adjoin. It is our
understanding that there is some concern as to issuing the Wests an Accessory Use Permit in
order to open a daycare.
We support the opening of this family daycare as long as the number of children is limited to
five or less. We see no potential concerns with traffic, noise, or aesthetic detriment. In fact,
we see the opening of this daycare as a potential asset to families in the community who are in
need of such a service.

Dear Parent,
My danghfier has heart cared tsar by West Family Day C.are -Donna West sinoe she cues 6 was old, She is now 27
months. She has become a beautiful, secure, well rounded and well behaved child thanks to all a:F the patienco,
love, teaching and nnmuing she has rec;efvcd from Donna and her entire fatnfly,
I aan a single mother, never married that has beer, totally on my owm since my child was thrrnc weeks old. It was a
very scary porospect to find a caring and secure environnYent to leave my newborn daughter with. West
Family -ay Care met all of my expectations and then same,
The way I found Donna's day care was amazing to mo and shear luck. I aas duo in a couple of weeks and while I
was at a gee station filling my tank, I started talking to two different people whn drove up in vans about why they
picked the model they did, different features, etc. because I was thinking about getting one. I had a little t3eo
Tracker convern'ble that was too small with no A/C. I noticed that the woman I was tallcing to had two car seals in
the back. Y said, `I notice you have car seats. Do you mind ff I ask you if you live around here? Can you
rncommettd any day care facilities in the area, I really don't want to just pull some out of the phone box' She said,
"Yes" to both questions and proceeded to tell me about West Family Day Care, right down the street, where both of
her children have been sines they were babies and where one of thorn was still attending. Sho highly
recommueaded Donna, gave me her nuaber, said that sho had not taken any newborns in quite awhile and tLat a
few children including one of hers were graduating off to school, so Donna may be ready for another baby. So I
called Donna and made an appointment m go over and visit When my girlfriend do x arrived with our newborn
babies, we found Donna and heX husband slang with a maple of the other parents with their children, her daughter
and her grandchildren were all in the backyard sitting on chairs with the kids playing and laughing on lots of
equipment, bi'kea, slides, obc. I was irnmediauly comfortable and felt very weloonu, AII of my itlidsl questions
were answorpd whilo wo sat a relaxed in the ann. I looked at two others that same day, made my decision, called
Donna back for a second meeting to cover apecf fiCS, called and spoke to a few aY the G~uren# and prat parents that
she had water children for and Chandler has been there ever sir-ce.
I cannot expr¢ss enough how much of a relief it was to $na and to have for these past two years such a wei]-
organiz~d, clean, loving aad nurturing environment for my daughter to be basically raised in, niece she was theta
for ten hours of her day. Donna and her entire flimily have boen like our second ihmfly. I don't have any relatives
close by and my mother is nut of state, so we adopted Dorms and her hnsbarul. She was afways them to talk tq
discuss different gaestionslconeerns with, sett how to and what if. I could always call when Chandler was aCtittS
up ar running a fever for advice. They have become bout caregivers and friends. I could talk to her abort anything
and they will be missed more than arords can descr~bc.
If your child ha4 the privilege to be cared for by any future facility Donna may be a part ~ they will be very lucky
to have her years of knowledge, extensive childcare edueabion and experience teaching and caring for them,
I would highly recomaund her program. It i$ a well rounded and educational. There aro lots of creatfvo arts and
craoFts along with many varieties of toys ~anrl play equipment Your child will never wtsui to graduate to schaoi. Y
gotten to know so many of'Donnas' previous children, bocauce whenever the school has a day off flay all want to
go to Donnas and they came running in far their hug, which speaks for itself.
I wish her and her family the best in their new adventwres in Idaho.
If you bout any addPtianal questions, feel free to call the at (562) 424-9369 or mo hitetlo(~aol.com".
Yours

Letter of Recommendation for West Family Day Caze
This letter is in reference to West Family Day Caze. Our daughter Scazlett Petty attended the
West Family Day Caze from September 1992 until June 1996. The first thing upon visiting
the West home we were impressed with the cleanliness and the wide variety of playthings and
activities provided. The meals and food varieties that were offered were wonderful. The
hours of availability were also perfect for our work schedules. Donna West and Cindy Chace
always went way beyond expectations as faz as activities and care. We stilt hope to have
Scazlett cared for at the West home from time to time during school breaks if it works into
their schedules. In the four yeazs that Scazlett attended Day Caze at the West home, they
were available every day except one day due to extenuating circumstances. We were very
happy there as most importantly was our daughter, Scazlett. They became like an extension
of our family. If you would like to communicate with us personally our phone number is
(310) 429-1917.
Thank you,

CITY OF MERIDIAN
City of Meridian
Planning and Zoning Commission
Our fi-iend and neighbor, Donna West, recently told us that she is requesting your authorization to
establish a children's day care center within her home. We have written this letter to express our
support for this request.
We are all aware that the need for quality daycare has become an important issue to the citizens of
Meridian, especially in light of the negative publicity generated recently by some facilities. We
ourselves are parents of a young child, and can understand the frustration one can encounter in
trying to find people with whom one can entrust their children.
Donna and her husband, Tom, are gracious and generous neighbors whom we feel will take every
measure necessary to make their undertaking a real service to the neighborhood and community,
and one that will cause minimal disruption to their neighbors.
We feel that any traffic or noise generated by the Wests' proposed enterprise would be minimal.
Indeed, we know they love children, but they are also very much concerned about the quality of
life in our neighbarhood and community. Numerous times, they have told me how much they
love Meridian, and how they moved here expressly to be able to enjoy the quality of life Meridian
offers.
Please join us in support of the Wests' proposed daycare center, and in wishing them success in
their venture.
Best R ards,
Ki y Keller

To whom it may concern: CITY 0 MERIDIAN
My husband and !are homeowners in the Navarro subdivision. We feel that the
proposed childcare in Donna and Spike's home would be an asset to our subdivision
rather than a detriment. The increased tragic that may occur could be nothing
c-~rr?pared to the already existart traffic from the high .school. Donna has indicated that
shy will have no more than five children enrolled at a time. This number does not seem
excessi~~e. We also fee! that having a capable person at home during the day in our
neighborhood is reassuring, and she will provide a great service to the mothers of our
neighborhood that must be away from their children during the day.
Sincerely,
Aaron and Sally

ITEM NO. 2: CONTINUED PUBLIC HEARING: REQUEST FOR
CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT FOR MULTI-BUILDING COMMERCIAL &
OFFICE INCLUDING BANK FACILITY WITH DRIVE-THRU (TREASURE
VALLEY BUSINESS CENTER) BY CLARK DEVELOPMENT -SOUTHWEST
CORNER OF EAGLE RD & FAIRVIEW AVE:
MacCoy: Item No. 2 this evening has been requested and that reminds me, I've
got to make this statement tonight too, I forgot to start with. How many is here
for Item No. 2, 3, 11, 12 & 13? Okay, those Items tonight 2, 3, 11, 12 & 13 have
been requested to be pulled by the applicants off of this agenda and will be
revisited on May 11, at our meeting at that time.
De Weerd: The information that we are already getting in May is quite
substantial and to add these too on is going to make May quite a meeting.
MacCoy: That will be the staffs responsibility to juggle some of the ones down
the line. What is going to happen-May is full already, June we are working on
right now. It will be up to the staff and anytime we bring anything up like this and
have to move it back, then they take and look at what in May and they make
decisions there.
Borup: I think that was maybe the question there, is it fair to the people who
have got their application in on a timely basis for May to be pushed back by
people who didn't do stuff earlier.
MacCoy: The staff calls them up and asks them. By our ordinance...
Borup: No, I understand that, but I think maybe the question is it fair to the people
on May's agenda...

PAGE 33
MacCoy: This is just a suggestion to you, you might want to talk to the
representative tonight before you leave here. Anybody else on the pro side here
before we move on to the other side. Okay, come ahead.
MIKE COLEMAN, 1213 (Inaudible), Boise, ID.
Coleman: I'm the applicant, Luna Vista Inc. We would be happy outside the
doors there if anybody wanted to visit with myself and engineer to answer any of
those questions. We did line the road up to go through the center of his property,
so if he wanted to future subdivide, it would line up and we can go through that,
give him a copy of the plat or answer any questions. Basically what we are doing
with this project is wanting to do single family homes. It was zoned before with
Mr. Saunders for townhouses, which is a much higher density and. we are
wanting to go to a lower density and do single dwelling homes, which from the
testimony before, I was in here on another subdivision, it seemed some of the
neighbors were objecting to a higher density. We are trying to go with a lower
density, single-family homes.
MacCoy: Anybody on the positive side wants to make anything statement wise.
Not, we'll go to the other side of the fence. Anybody who would oppose this
project wants to speak? Seeing none, lets...
Borup: Chairman, I move that we close the public hearing-I move that we
continue the public hearing to April 13.
De Weerd: Second.
MacCoy: All in favor?
MOTION CARRIED: All ayes.
~" ITEM NO. 13: PUBLIC HEARING: REQUEST FOR AN ACCESSORY USE
PERMIT FOR A DAYCARE WITH FIVE OR LESS CHILDREN BY DONNA &
THOMAS WEST - 988 NW 13T" AVENUE:
MacCoy: Staff do you have anything to say?
Stiles: Chairman MacCoy, commissioners, we didn't have any comments on
this, this is an accessory use permit, the reason it's before you is because there
was an objection.
MacCoy: I didn't get the last part of that there was too much noise going on
here. What was the last part of your statement?
MERIDIAN PLANN~ AND ZONING COMMISSION •
MARCH 9, 1999
PAGE 34
Stiles: We had no staff comments on this, just that they meet our ordinance and
the reason it's before you is because there was an objection within the 15 day
period. I would just like to note that make sure the applicant knows this is for five
or fewer children and that includes their own children.
MacCoy: We will open up the public hearing now, is the applicant here?
DONNA WEST, 988 NW 13T", MERIDIAN, ID.
West: I moved here a year and a half ago and I did daycare in my home for like
16 years. I never had problems with traffic, my house was always immaculate,
my yard was always immaculate and I feel the same will be here, because I do
not like mess. I don't seem to think there is a problem. I have a three car garage
which has parking space for three and probably if we had to squeeze four. I'm
only going to have five children at the very most. They are all going to be under
the age of four probably because by then they will be going to a daycare or if the
parents want them to stay with me they can, it doesn't make any difference.
MacCoy: Any questions?
West: Oh, excuse me, I have some letters here, I'll just put them in the file, for
people who are not here right now.
MacCoy: Would you please mention the names of the letters? So we have that
for the record.
West: Okay. Kirby Keller, he lives at 1342 W. State Street. This is from Cindy
Chase, she has Kids Club on 1St Street next to the post office. This is from Aaron
and Sally Myler, they live on State Street, they didn't put their address here, it's
on the corner of State and 12tH
MacCoy: Okay, thank you, any questions for the applicant.
De Weerd: Do you have any children of your own?
West: No, well, they are grown.
MacCoy: Any questions? Okay thank you very much. The public hearing is
open, anybody who is in favor of this, please step forward.
DAVE WHALEY, 939 NW 13T" STREET, MERIDIAN, ID.
Whaley: I am also the vice president of the subdivision. There is the board
members and other officers here vacant of the president we have not filled the
position due to a vacancy. I can tell you as a neighbor of Tom and Donna West
MERIDIAN PLANN~ AND ZONING COMMISSION •
MARCH 9, 1999
PAGE 35
that we have no problems with this child care, we know they will take care of the
kids. Traffic, if that's an issue, we live next to the high school, when traffic backs
up to that intersection at Linder and Pine, they use our street to get around it. It
doesn't make it any faster for them, I think they think it makes it faster. So traffic
is not an issue. We monitor our subdivision very closely to make sure there is no
problems going on. We think this is not a problem for us, you know, even within
our subdivision covenants, there is some rules about businesses. I think in any
covenants in subdivisions you have to be reasonable.
MacCoy: Thank you for your statement, any questions for him? Thank you very
much. Is there anyone else who would like to speak in favor? Yes, come on up.
CHRISTIE HEIN, 1402 W. STATE STREET, MERIDIAN, ID.
Hein: It's kind of kitty corner to Donna West, her house on NW 13th. I kind of just
prepared a statement that I would like to share with you. My husband and I
bought a house in Navarro Place in 1998 and you know, we met Donna right off
the bat, she was just so generous and every encounter that I've had with her has
been a wonderful encounter with her. I think...
(END OF TAPE)
Hein: ...a special type of persona It takes pa#ience, love a great deal of devotion
and I sincerely believe that Donna West is capable of these responsibilities and I
think it's wonderful that we have people like Donna that ease our fears and
anxiety when it comes to the well being of our children when they are in the care
of others. I feel it's a shame that there's not more people like Donna willing to
take on such responsibility. As far as the traffic issue, I really don't feel that
opening a daycare will make any significant change from the current situation we
are in near the high school. When we bought the house, we knew we were near
the high school and we do get traffic through there, but I don't think it will change
anything with that. I think it's wonderful for the homeowners in our subdivision to
be able to utilize Donna and her services, and that's all I have to say regarding
that.
MacCoy: Would you be willing to give us a copy of that so we can put in the file?
Hein: Sure, I actually have a cleaner copy but I will turn it in.
MacCoy: Thank you. Any questions for this lady? All right, anybody else here
who would like to speak in favor of this? Okay, come ahead. It looks like we're
on a roll here.
MARK WILSON, 993 NW 13T" AVENUE, MERIDIAN, ID.
MERIDIAN PLANN~ AND ZONING COMMISSION •
MARCH 9, 1999
PAGE 36
Wilson: My name is Mark Wilson. I live at 993 NW 13th Avenue, I live right
across the street from them. I've known Donna and Spike since they moved into
their house, and I feel that they are very capable couple. I would trust them with
my boy. I have a six and a half year old boy, and so I think they'd be a great
asset to our neighborhood to care for the children that are in our neighborhood.
Not that our neighborhood is a huge neighborhood anyway. The traffic on our
street really is next to nothing in that section because most of the people drive
around different areas. The only traffic that we do get is like you said first thing in
the morning when the high school backs up. It backs up on Pine. They try and
come through our subdivision. They hit State Street. After about two weeks,
they realize that when they get to Linder, they've got to go through both lanes of
traffic to get to the high school and it doesn't get them anywhere, so they find out
that it's easier to go ahead and wait in line and go through the stop signs. So the
traffic I don't think is really an issue, except for maybe that first month or two
when the school starts, but I'm here in support of the daycare.
MacCoy: Thank you very much. Okay is anybody else want to speak in favor?
Go ahead.
JENNY PETERSON, 1355 W. STATE STREET, MERIDIAN, ID.
Peterson: Jenny Peterson, we're at 1355 W. State Street. We actually live right
next door just to the north and just saying we're all for it, testify to the West's
character and think that there won't be any problem at all, traffic, what can five
cars do that all the rest of everybody else has talked about as far as you know
having any problems with disorderly children or anything. I don't think they'll
have any problem. I've seen Donna with her own grandchildren in lots of
situations and we're all for it and we want to support them and that's it.
MacCoy: All right thank you. Anyone else who wants to speak in favor? All
right, seeing none, anybody wants to speak against this? Come ahead.
BRAD BLOOMER, 990 NW 12T" AVENUE, MERIDIAN, ID.
Bloomer: My name is Brad Bloomer, I live at 990 NW 12th Avenue.
Rossman: Spell your last name please.
Bloomer: Bloomer, B-I-o-o-m-e-r. Excuse me I'm fighting off a little flu bug and I
want to pass out-(Inaudible -off the microphone) or anything like that I think the
point is when everybody bought a house in that subdivision, they signed off on
the covenants. If they read their covenants. I think a lot of people don't, but
anyway the covenants state that you can't own business out of this subdivision.
Myself I personally bought a home in that subdivision because I didn't want
businesses in there. Well I have young children. I like them to be able to ride
MERIDIAN PLANN~ AND ZONING COMMISSION •
MARCH 9, 1999
PAGE 37
their bikes up and down the street. I have a little bit of traffic subdivision traffic
you know, I hate to be the bad guy here, but our subdivision really doesn't have a
homeowners association that's worth anything. It hasn't really accomplished
much. There's already businesses that are being run out of there illegally. I've
brought this up to people on the board and on the homeowners the office, the
elected officials and they just kind of turn a deaf ear. In fact a couple of them are
some of the people that do have the businesses. Anyway where the Wests live
and like I said again I like the Wests. They are very nice people. They have a
beautiful home. They take good care of their house. I don't think that's the
question. The question is that me and several other people that live on the other
side of the block are objecting to this. They're not here tonight because of the
fact that it's against the covenants. I mean they're putting the cart before the
horse here.
Rossman: Sir, do you understand that this Commission has no authority or
power to enforce covenants? Your enforcement is confined to the document
itself, the covenants. There should be enforcement provision within the
covenants. Either by a private right of action or through a homeowners
association, but this Commission is confined to the ordinance as to whether or
not this application is permitted under the Meridian City Ordinance.
Bloomer: Okay let me ask you this question if I may. I'm not an attorney. What
they're wanting to do is get an accessory use permit. Is that true?
Rossman: That's correct.
Bloomer: Well it's against the covenants in our subdivision.
Rossman: But the question is, is it against the Meridian Planning and Zoning
Ordinance?
Bloomer: What rules the day here? Does the home owners covenants, are they
worth nothing?
Rossman: Well you're going to have to read your covenants. There should be
enforcement provision within your covenants.
Bloomer: But anyway like I said I still think that they should have gone to the
homeowners and had a homeowners meeting and sat down and talked to
everybody and explained what they wanted to do and then let the home owners
rule on it and gone from there, so I object for several reasons. Number one is a
safety reason. Number two that there is already businesses being run out of
there, and who is to say that there won't be six, seven, eight more homes that
want to run a daycare out of there? It's a profitable business. I moved into that
subdivision so I didn't have to deal with that. I guess what we're talking about
MERIDIAN PLANN~ AND ZONING COMMISSION •
MARCH 9, 1999
PAGE 38
here is what I'm saying is in the air because it doesn't have to do with what
you're going to decide on. So does that mean that we have to go get a civil
action if you approve their permit? Do we have to get a civil action to stop them?
Is that it?
Rossman: I haven't read your covenants. I'm not going to advise you on that.
You're just going to have to review them yourself or consult an attorney. The
covenants are just an irrelevant issue. Now if you want to talk about safety and if
you want to talk about compatibility of this particular application with the
neighborhood. Those are relevant issues.
Bloomer: --that is on 13th Street. It's a shortcut to the high school. There's some
people that live on a corner lot there that have young kids and they're constantly
playing soccer and riding their bikes. That corner right there is used as a spot
where a lot of young children roller blade and ride their bicycles, jump over
ramps. We don't need any more traffic there. As far as that safety issues goes,
there was a girl killed in Caldwell last year because she ran in between two
parked cars. If you have five people there, who is going to count? Are you going
to go over there and count the children every day? I don't think so. I don't think
am either. So they're asking for a permit to use for five people, but who is going
to watch over that? So between the safety fact and the fact that I don't think
businesses should be run out of subdivisions, I guess I have nothing else to say.
Do you have any questions forme?
Borup: I have one Mr. Chairman. Again it may not be pertinent but sir you stated
that you thought that there should have been a meeting of the subdivision and
then are you saying that the majority would vote in favor of this, then that's -
Bloomer: That's the way the covenants are written up. They can change the
covenants -
Borup: I think tonight we've had about ten that's already spoken in favor of it.
Bloomer: I realize that. It's because they realized there was going an objection
to it so that's why they rallied the troops and got them in here, which is fine.
Borup: I can say from past experience that it's a lot easier to get people
speaking in opposition of something than it is in favor.
Bloomer: Well nobody knew about it.
Borup: Ten to one is quite unusual.
Bloomer: Nobody knew about it. The only reason I found out about it is because
I read it in the newspaper that little Meridian paper that they throw in your
i

driveway. Nobody went around. There wasn't a homeowners meeting. The only
people that were contacted were the neighbors -
Borup: Okay, thank you.
MacCoy: Is there anyone else who would like to speak at this time on the
negative side? Okay, you want -this lady over here had her hand up first.
Hein: The way our covenants are, again it's a covenant issue not an issue with
the Planning and Zoning Commission. With the covenants, if there is a dispute
on one of the covenants, the person can come forward to the committee and
then we can hold a meeting, but it was never brought to our attention as a
covenant issue and once it is brought up and we do hold a meeting and make a
decision on it. Then we can vote if enough people are in favor of changing the
covenants, it can be changed, but again the issue was never brought up to the
home owners association. We do have a homeowners association right now, but
we do not have a president at the current time. As far as Mr. Bloomer, he has
been invited to many homeowners meetings, but made a comment to me one
time that he does not do meetings and has never been present at any of our
homeowners meetings, so I would just like that for the record.
MacCoy: Okay thank you. I got a hand over here too.
DAVE WHALEY 939 NW 13T" AVENUE
Whaley: Mr. Chairman and Commissioners, my name is Dave Whaley, 939 NW
13th Avenue. As far as the covenants, again I have a copy of the covenants.
They're sitting right here. It's not an issue here before today. Again I would say
that the covenants are to be reviewed by homeowners associations and
attorneys, which I just did about two weeks ago. I had an attorney review ours.
Ours at best are weak. These were turned over to us less than a year ago by
Ted Hepper saying okay now the homeowners association, this is yours. We're
just going through the process of trying to be a homeowners association, which a
lot of us have never been but as you see here tonight we have testimony on an
issue that we feel very concerned about. We're not going to allow junk yards and
everything else into our subdivision. That's not what it is about. The eight or
nine children that play across the street, only two of them live there on that
corner. The rest of them come from the rest of the neighborhoods around us.
We can't control children and where they play. So I think the safety issue is a
moot issue there. There's a speed limit sign posted. There's a stop sign posted,
and that's an issue with the law, not of an issue of where children can play.
MacCoy: Thank you. Is there anyone else?
MERIDIAN PLANNI~ AND ZONING COMMISSION •
MARCH 9, 1999
PAGE 40
Unidentified: As far as the homeowners association, when they came around
and started I was the president of the last homeowners association. I involved in
it for two years. You have to - it's a job that I didn't want to do. When we
discussed the homeowners association, people were going around do you want
to do this? Who wants to be this and this that and the other thing and I said I'd
rather not get involved. I just left a subdivision where I was president. It can get
kind of messy if people don't obey the covenants, so that's why I'm not interested
in being involved in the association at this point in time which a couple of three
weeks ago when I did read the letter in the paper, I went and saw this gentleman
right here who is the president of the Board of Directors? Chairman of the Board
of Directors, who has the house right across from the west the chipped
windshield business he has there and I asked him what his feelings were and he
said he thought it would be an okay deal and at the time I don't think it's going to
be a good deal and I said why don't we have a meeting of the homeowners and
discuss it and he said well, there's no president to call a meeting or something
like that and then I said well you're on the Board of Directors, let's have a
meeting and you can nominate me to be president and we'll start taking care of
the problems in this subdivision.
MacCoy: Okay, thank you. Anyone else that wants to make a statement before
we close this? I'm going to come back to that okay. If not the applicant you want
to say anything at this time? All right thank you. Commissioners?
De Weerd: I would move that we close the public hearing.
Borup: Second.
MacCoy: Okay, all in favor?
MOTION CARRIED: ALL AYES.
De Weerd: I'm impressed how many people you have come out to support your
application. Mr. Chairman I'd like to move that we approve the accessory use
permit for a daycare of five or less children by Donna and Thomas West and to -
that's it.
Borup: Did you just recommend approval? Is that what? Okay I second that.
MacCoy: Eric, --
Rossman: You're going to have to refer it to the next meeting for approval of
Findings, since it will stop here. This will not be -accessory uses under the
Meridian Planning and Zoning Ordinance will not be reviewed by the City
Council. This is final action by the Meridian Planning and Zoning Commission so
we'll have to come back in a month and review written findings.

Borup: So would you like to revise your -
De Weerd: Do I need to request Findings then?
Borup: Yes.

Facts on our accessory use permit.
Borup: Second.
MacCoy: Okay all in favor?
Smith: Don't we ask you to approve them recommending approval or denial?
Rossman: Not on accessory use. What you do is you make a motion somewhat
like Commissioner De Weerd did and just move that the accessory use be
approved and that we set this over for approval of written findings. Just like we
used to before.
Smith: So that's basically what the motion said.
Rossman: Yes. Written findings indicating approval of the accessory use. You
will review those next month and if acceptable approve them and that will be final
