Glenn Subdivisions.

conditions preclude any additions or alterations to the existing structure to accommodate the

CONCLUSIONS
The proposed family day care home, as conditioned, should have no adverse impact on the
surrounding neighborhood. Similar family day care homes have been approved in other
neighborhoods and have operated without any apparent impact on area residences. The conditions
are similar to conditions imposed upon other family day care homes and are designed to maintain the
residential character of the area (Conditions 1 through 3). Therefore, approval of this request,
subject to the conditions, is recommended.
CASE HISTORY
Planning Commission Meeting (1/21/03):
The applicant accepted the recommendation. There was opposition present. Two (2)
residents who live south of the intersection of Jacobs Bend Drive and Cindiwood Drive
expressed concerns that the proposed use represents commercial encroachment into a single
family residential neighborhood and approval could set a precedent for other cormnercial
uses in the area. Concerns were also expressed that the use would increase traffic in the
neighborhood.
Mr. Litton indicated that a meeting was held to discuss the proposal with adjacent property
owners and no one appeared in opposition. He stated that those who expressed concerns do
not live in proximity to the request property and there/bre, did not feel that they would be
affected by the use.
On motion of Mr. Litton, seconded by Mr. Stack, the Commission recommended approval of
this request subject to the conditions on page 2.
AYES: Unanimous.
Board of Supervisors' Meeting (2/26/03):
The applicant presented letters of support from adjacent property owners.
Mr. Miller stated he wanted an opportunity to meet with those who expressed opposition to
the request.
On their own motion, the Board deferred this request to April 23, 2003.

Applicant, Area Residents, Staff, Dale District Board Member and Planning Commissioner
(3/31/03):
