C-26-01 Home Daycare

The applicant explained she wants a private six-child day care for ages 2-5, said her HOA approved it, and pushed back on neighbor objections about traffic, noise and a pool.

A 20-year family day care provider said home day cares are an affordable community enhancement compared to commercial centers.

A resident of the applicant's address argued traffic would be minimal — only six houses on the court — and noise would be less than lawn mowers.

The HOA vice president said he wasn't aware of any board approval and questioned how the HOA president could approve something the covenants prohibit.

A 20-year neighbor said no customer-facing businesses have been allowed in 20 years and worried the day care could grow to nine families' worth of traffic.

A 15-year resident and former HOA president said the HOA president used faulty logic and should have put any covenant change to a community vote.
