Commissioner Arkin moved to deny PDUP-8, based on the fact that the conditional use permit findings could not be made due to the high density of the area; the site is not asingle-family residential-zoned lot but a smaller lot zoned PUD-high density residential; the use would generate more traffic; th¢ sit¢ is on a narrow, long looped private street with a blind corner which would create safety issues, and the nature of th¢ privat¢ street creates an enforceability issue with regard to traffic problems~ Commissioner Roberts seconded the motion- Commissioner Blank. noted that he was less concerned with the size of the lot than the traffic, safety, and enforceability issues. Commissioner Fox stated she would not support the motion and believed this home would be suitable for a large family day care- She believed the precedent was set by the City having approved. large family day cares in multi-family residences with smaller than 3,500 square feet lots and cited Stone Pointe Way as an example- She noted that Stone Pointe Way was a curved area with smaller sized streets as well. She expressed a bit ol~ concern about enforceability of traffic violations but believed that since Hacienda Security has a security database, and James Paxson had indicated that each security issue is reported to the City's Police Department, it would be easy to manage the conditional use permit. Commissioner Pearce noted that Ms_ Nerland's memo stated that there was a way to enforce the traffic code if the people who live there so desire. The residents may petition the City Council, and the Council may direct the street to be treated like a public street- She was struck by the fact that if the residents were so concerned that the 2,000 trips per day generated a lot of speeders, the residents may take it upon themselves to bring this issue to the City Council. She believed that if the community did not take it upon itself to address these traffic issues, it was tantamount to a de_f~zcto community restriction on large family day cares, to which State public policy was opposed- ROLL CALL VOTE: AYES= Commissioners Arkin, Blank, Maas, and Roberts.
