discussion around noise control. The Commission received guidance in terms of street parking on a public street and set within the conditions is a requirement to utilize the garage. He said he likes the suggestion of establishing guidelines when on-boarding new parents around the preferred traffic route for pickup and drop-off. One concern he expressed is regarding vehicles making U-turns, in terms of entering from Sauterne Way and exiting from Touriga Drive, and that this should be avoided for safety, but he did not believe the Commission had much freedom to change these public mandates which are imposed by the State. Commissioner Ritter echoed Commissioner Brown's comments. He thinks the need for childcare in the community is very much needed and he could not find anything that would make him want to overturn the Zoning Administrator's ruling. Commissioner O'Connor agreed and said he did not see that the Commission had any justification to overturn the Zoning Administrator's approval. Commissioner Balch concurred. He expressed concern over the traffic control itself because of prior traffic mitigation but he was not sure the neighborhood would want to overturn that for this action. He was equally pleased that staff has conditioned the parking for new parents by way of a preferred traffic route as guidance, and the requirement for the full-time assistant and two vehicles in the driveway for parents. He was pleased to know the street could handle more vehicles and said due to this, he couldn't make the finding that traffic was an issue. Chair Allen expressed agreement with the other Commissioners. She also supported the idea of a recommended route entering Sauterne Way and exiting on Touriga Drive, which is the route she took when viewing the area. The benefit of this is that vehicles are going west and if they don't enter the driveway, they are on the right side of the street to drop off children, as opposed to entering on Chardonnay Drive, where they could potentially park across the street resulting in the children having to cross the street, posing a greater danger. She said she tried to find issues with this application, to see if there was a reason to overturn it, but she couldn't and feels it is valid according to State law. Commissioner O'Connor moved to deny the appeal and uphold the Zoning Administrator's approval with the added condition that the daycare operator provides parents a preferred recommended route to and from the daycare home, thereby recommending approval of Case P18-0314. Commissioner Ritter seconded the motion.
