John Garvin, attorney, spoke representing the applicants. He also <br />stated that the Tyrrell's watch his children. Mr. Garvin stated that <br />the Tyrrells have been baby sitting since 1966, one year after they <br />purchased their home and during all of this time they have never <br />received a complaint from the City. He stated they did receive one <br />single complaint from the neighbors regarding one child crying. The <br />applicants corrected this situation. He stated the house is situated <br />at 1776 Harvest Road, across from Walnut Grove school. Mr. Garvin <br />stated that the only reason this is coming up now is that the State looked <br />at the area recently and found many people involved in this service and <br />demanded that all of these persons be licensed. He stated that the <br />Tyrrell's feel they need the additional rumpus room even though it is <br />not a State requirement because it gives more room to the children and <br />allows them a place to play, etc. He asked for a 60 day continuance <br />in this matter so that his clients could apply for a variance to the <br />ordinance code to keep the room because a 30-day continuance would <br />require an application be filed by Friday and they did not feel they <br />could meet this deadline. <br />Commissioner Getty stated she doesn't understand why 60 days are <br />required? <br />Mr. Garvin stated he wanted to do research into other single-family <br />units which have home occupations and see if variances have been granted. <br />Mr. Harris stated the information described can be gotten quite rapidly. <br />Larry McKague, 1839 Halcyon Court, spoke in total opposition to this <br />use. He had concerns with possible violations of the CC&Rs and negative <br />impact on the value of .his. home once businesses are allowed in resi- <br />dences. He stated that after hearing arguments about ambulances, he <br />is convinced homes are not a proper place for a business. <br />Chairperson Doherty stated that CC&Rs are not up to the City to enforce <br />but rather the homeowners association, developers and homeowners <br />themselves. <br />Mr. McKague stated that he thought the Tyrrells were already licensed <br />and, thus, did not complain to the City but that they have in fact <br />complained to the Tyrrells. <br />Jim Caldwell, 1823 Halcyon, stated he has met the Tyrrells, believes <br />them to be nice people but his home is immediately behind the applicants <br />and if he had known there was a baby sitting service going on there, he <br />probably wouldn't have purchased his home as he doesn't understand <br />how a residential property can be turned into a business. <br />James T. Jarratt, 1732 Harvest Road objected to the use especially <br />because of additional traffic and autos parked on the street, reduction <br />of property values if this use is approved and possible use of window <br />signs, etc. <br />-6- <br />. _..___. .. ___.. _ _. __ ... ___ ._T.._-_._. ._ .. __. _ __ ._ _, _ __T., _. <br />
