Commissioner Doherty stated that the City has had a number of appli- cations for day care and the State and County agencies have told the City there is a need in single-family neighborhoods throughout Pleasanton and that many applications have come through in the last 12 months. He stated the application can be reviewed in six months. Commissioner Doherty stated that the petition against the application covers one court and that perhaps if the neighbors would communicate more some of this could have been resolved. Mr. Doyle said he would like to see the number of children limited -- and not 12. He stated he would like see the limit at 7 or 8 if the permit is granted. Pat Wirth, 3602 Glacier Court North, spoke in support of the appli- cation stating that the children are well supervised and taken care of. She stated that she has been there when Mrs. Zolfarelli has told the children to be quiet or come in the house when playing in the back yard. Chris Golbrath, 3614 Platt Court South, spoke in opposition to the application as it is trend setting. Theresa Avery, 3590 Glacier Court, spoke in support of the appli- cation stating the lawnmowers early Saturday mornings are much more offensive than the children playing at the Zolfarelli house. She said that Mrs. Zolfarelli keeps the children quiet. Sonya Burroughs spoke stating she has withdrawn her name from the petition against this application but did not want to see a use permit granted for 12 children as there could be a noise problem. Stan Steiner, 3691 Hawaii Court South, spoke in favor of the appli- cation and that this entire matter could have been handled better by the neighbors and stated that the petition doesn't cover Hawaii Court South, but rather Platt Court. He stated this service is necessary and brings the entire neighborhood together. Jeff Zolfarelli, husband of the applicant, spoke in support of the conditional use permit. He addressed the fact that he has a police dog by the name of Colombo. He explained the dog run and the fact that the dog is with him most of the time. He also said the kids play with the dog and urged approval of this application. The public hearing was closed. Commissioner Getty stated that something should be pointed out to the people in opposition to this application; sooner or later every street will have a request for day care. Commissioner Getty stated she was impressed with the thoroughness of the applicant's presen- tation. Commissioner Lindsey stated it is his impression that there would only be a short period of time when 12 would be taken care of; and that this application can be reviewed in six months and that the City can take into consideration the objections of the Platt Court resident's in the review. -8- .... .. .......... ... ......... .......... _~ ...T.~......,..... .... .... ....... .......,..., .. ...... _.~........ ..... .... ..r.. ...... .n T... ... .....
