'" 4. Restricted the number of children that could be permitted in the year yard at anyone time to 10. P A 96-026 On August 13, 1996, modifications to P A 95-017 were requested to: . 1. Increase the maximum enrollment at the Playschool from 20 to 30 children. 2. Permit the installation of two 1-1/2' X 2' identification signs on the house and a vehicle sign on a car to be parked at the site. 3. Permit children to play in the rear yard after 8:00 A.M. rather than 9:00 A.M. 4. Increase the number of children permitted in the rear yard at one time from 10 to 30 children. At the August 1996, public hearing, the City Council modified the Conditional Use Permit to allow installation of two identification signs on the house and to allow a vehicle sign. The other requests were not approved. PA 97-044 On March 23,1998, modifications to PA 97-044 were requested to: 1. Increase the maximum enrollment at the Playschool from 20 to 30 children. 2. Permit children to play in the rear yard after 8:00 A.M. rather than 9:00 A.M. 3. Increase the number of children permitted in the rear yard at one time from 10 to 30 children. At the January 6, 1998, public hearing, the City Council modified the Conditional Use Permit to allow. an increase in the maximum enrollment to 30 children and an increase of up to 15 children permitted in the rear yard at one time if the Applicant submitted a noise study to staff demonstrating that an additional five children in the back yard do not create a significant increase in noise levels. A copy of the City Council staff report, minutes of the meeting, and Resolution of Approval are attached (Exhibits C, D and E). The applicant submitted a Noise Assessment Study of the A Creative Playschool Playground Activity (Exhibit H) prepared on February 18, 1998. That study determined that noise generated by over 30 children in the playground would be within the limits of City standards. Staffevaluated the Noise Assessment Study and on March 16, 1998, determined that an additional 5 children (beyond the 10 already permitted) in the back yard would not create a significant increase in noise levels, and therefore that a maximum of 15 children may be in the back yard of the A Creative Playschool at anyone time (see letter to Mr. Robert Zupetz dated March 16, 1998, Exhibit G). ANALYSIS: Environmental Analysis: The Negative Declaration was approved by the City Council on July 25, 1995. The Initial Study evaluated the project based on the original application which was for 30 children and for an approval which allowed no more than 10 children in the back yard at anyone time. That Initial Study determined that a Negative Declaration of Environmental Impact could be issued if no more than 10 children were allowed in the. back yard at anyone time. The noise impacts of any increase above the 10 children allowed in the back yard at anyone time were therefore not addressed by the Negative Declaration. However, it is Staff's opinion, based on 2 the Noise Assessment Study prepared by Edward L. Pack Associates Inc., on February 18, 1998, that the noise generated by 30 children in the back yard of the facility would not have a significant environmental impact, and "that the Negative Declaration prepared for the original project in 1995 is therefore valid for this project (P A 98- "'028). Modification Reauested: 1. Increase the number of children permitted in the rear yard at one time to 30 children. As stated above, the Noise Assessment Study has determined that noise generated by over 30 children in the playground would be within the limits of City standards. If the City Council wishes to adopt the proposed modification based on that report, Condition 9 of the Resolution of Approval could be modified to read as follows: 9. There shall be a maximum of 30 children at a time in the backyard ofthe Center. When children are in the backyard they shall be supervised by a Center employee at all times. Recommendation Staff recommends that the City Council open the public hearing, deliberate, and either: (1) adopt a Resolution Approving Modifications to CUP 97-044 (Exhibit A); or (2) adopt a Resolution denying Modifications to CUP 97-044 (Exhibit B); or, give staff other directions.

Howard announced that she 'would abstain because her Granddaughter attends this school. . CITY COUNCIL MINUTES VOLUME 17 REGULAR MEETING January 6, 1998 . PAGE 5 EXHIBIT D )5 ~/}' ~.:..";;;;. .:I~~~~~: ',. ;,;~ I Cm. Burton asked if there are litigations in prcx;ess at this time between the neighbors and the applicant. ' Mr. Carrington stated staff understands that there is a lawsuit going on at the present time. He stated he was hesitant to say more, not knowing the details. Ms. Silver stated the City has not been provided with any information. Based on heresay, there is a lawsuit. This is a civil suit. The issue of litigation is not relevant to the City Council on the issue of a CUP. Ralph Hughes, 7581 Brighton Drive, attorney for the applicants thanked everyone for letting him come before the Council regarding this issue. He represents Mr. and Mrs. Zupetz who own the property. He is also a resident of Dublin. There are 3 issues before the City Council. One relates to the hours that children can be outside. They may be able to offer some compromise so the noise can be reduced to some el..-rent. His clients have suggested that 8:30 a.m. may be workable. In addition, they would be willing to have a quiet time when there will be no children whatsoever between 1 :00 p.IIL and 3:30 p.m. in the afternoon in the back yard. Another issue is whether the total number be increased from 20 to 30. Having a day= in a residential area is desirable because people are not willing to mke children to a comm=ial area. The results of the traffic study in 1995 was no negative impacts to having 30 children in this dayc:are center. There have been no more than 20 these past years and there have been no accidents attributable to the center. There have been no complaints lodged about the facility with any government agency. It is a well run operation. The ability to allow some of the children outside and telling others they must stay inside, simply dif...sn't work. Children don't understand this. The children are well organized, well su!"'.xvised and the ratio of teacher to child is more than what is required by the State of California: They are licensed by the State for 30 kids. There are children all around this intersection and schools dose by. This is one of the mos! major streets in town. There is a certain amount of noise at all times. Dublin is very fortunate in that mos! other cities have their boundaries pretty well set. Hundr".As if not thousands of homes will be built in the next few years. ManY of the people who purchase these homes will have children. The General Plan does not provide for day= The City and! Dr the State has no obligation. This is left to private enterprise. It is cal1ed to be in a residential area. Dayc:are centers are a fact of life as government is withdrawing more and more funding. The private sector has to pick up this load. There are not a long line of !",--"ple coming in to set up day= centers. There are only a handful of day= centers in this town. It is in the b<>..sl interest of the City and its !",..op1e for this day= center to expand as much as possible and feasible.

They should discipline the kids ~:: :' and teach them to take turns going out. It is unfair to the people who live in the _. - neighborhood. Keep it small. I ~. f ;.:. Debra Mervine, 6790 Amador Valley Boulevard stated she doesn't live directly " next door but down the street 3 houses away. She is opposed because she has to disclose this if she wants to sell her house. If she has to sell her house, she has to say there is a childcare center and there are more than 3 kids. It is very noisy. She would not knowingly buy a house where there are 30 kids. She is opposed. Gregory Blake, 7192 Newcastle Lane state4.he wished to address the issue of traffic. He leaves between 6:30 a.m. and 7:15 a.m. There is an adverse effect due to the iraffic with high school students, parents dropping off kids to Frederiksen or Wells. He counted 17 cars lined up the other... day. He is surprised there have only b-=-...en 9 accidents., It is a very dangerous situition at this intersection. Prior to their issuance we went through the whole process with the Planning Commission. There was a lot of opposition and the Planning Commission voted it down. They were only given 2 days notice that there would be another hearing and they were disappointed at the Council's approval. He feels property values will not go up and he is vehemently opposed. A lot of people in the community are concerned about this. Other childcares maintain the level of 6 or 7 or under. . Don Krekorian, 6842 Brighton Drive thanked the City Council for the opportunity to sr...ak. His attorney will also sp-""....aIc.. With regard to the modiiication, he was present when the Planning Commission turned it down. He was not present \vhen the City Council approved it. He was at the last meeting when the Council modified it. A commercial business should not be located in a residential area. This is used to generate profit and not used in the evenings or weekends. The issue is money, money, money. The level of noise is astronomical. He showed a video 'which was taken from his office wall to the south. He works out of his house. CITY COUNCIL MINUTES VOLUME 17 REGULAR MEETING January 6, 1998 PAGE 7 . . r [ i ,. , , , .. , j: . . /? 41"" Mayor Houston asked if the fence was conditioned originally. : Mr. Krekorian stated the fence had to be 2 feet higher than what was originally there. He commented the video did not sound like children laughing and playing. He felt Dublin has home occupancy restrictions. currently they are allowed to have 10 children outdoors and the noise is generated by all the children. He contacted and asked. the City if he could go up on his roof to take pictures of how many children are playing in the yard. One shows 19 children in the back yard. They don't follow the guidelines they're supposed to be following- They should not be rewarded. by being allowed more children. He requested. that the City Council revoke this pennit and give the residents back their neighborhood. Some neighbors work nights and try to sleep during the day. He asked if any of the Councilmernbers have family members who are clients of the daycare. They should decline in the vote. He asked if any had received contributions and if so they should disqualify themselves from the vote. Dan Rodrigues, 6851 lone Way stated this was established in an exclusively residential area. Now it is operating on a CUP that allows 20 children. It was granted based on information provided by the applicant. If the original application were to have been requested for 30 it would never have b-...en granted. It should be located neA1: to a commercial area, or business area or school. If they feel they need the expansion in order to make a profit or even to break even then it is their responsibility to find another solution. 'They should have considered this in their original business plan. This would be to the detriment of the neighborhood, just to let them make big money. Angelina Fountain, 6980 Doreen Court stated she opposed this. She has waited more than 20 minutes to make a turn at this location. Parents jaywalk children across the street. Today she saW a large truck parked on Brighton, a Sears repair truck and it was a very tight squeeze just to be able to turn. She feels threatened by lawsuits and has made no complaints. A business should not be run in a residential area such as this. David McPherson stated he represents many of the neighbors in the litigation referred to. The merits of the litigation are probably not directly relevant. On behalf of the neighbors, the fact that the neighbors have initiated litigation is not accurate. The Zupetz have filed a SLAPP suit (Strategic Lawsuits Against Public participation). The merits will be decided in civil court. Tens of thousands of dollar; are being spent by the neighbors to defend themselves. 'The purpose is to quell their opposition. 'When members of this community write letters complaining about noise they are sued for defamation, when they takes pictures, CITY COUNCIL MINUTES VOLUME 17 REGULAR MEETING January 6, 1998 PAGE 8 V-~'.:;-";.~...; w - '...'v. .. ..- -.. .-. f.}':_--,,?:<:':' . ~. . . t::>--' / ~/ i , i 1 r. i- t t .. i- !:~ j: ~, ~: t r '. ~- ~.

The Council must ask who should bear the burden. A commercial enterprise purchased the home knowing they did not have a pennit to operate. Should their profit be burdened, or should the neighbors be burdened? . ': .Alan Owens, 6802 Amador Valley Boulevard stated he was reminded of the Randy Neu:rrum song, "It's Money That Matters" _ He saw a nice silver BMW parked in the green zone recently and it made him think what right does the City have subsidizing lifestyles at tl].e expense of his neighborhood. The conditions of the existing use permit are not being enforced. His calls and letters are ignored, so there is obviously some bias here on the part of the City. It's important to get on the record. He referenced .Mayor Houston's campaign contributions. On page 19 of a campaign report, it shows that Janice Zupetz contributed $200 to the Mayor's campaign~ He suggested Mayor Houston do the same as Cm. Howard and not participate. The same should apply to em. Lockhart. The lawyer representing the Zupetz is on the Planning Commission. Three Councilmembers have monetary ties to the daycare center. He got into this on principle to begin with_ The City's numlY'-...r one obligation is to protect property rights. They have no obligation to provide daycare. Once you start down the litigation road, it is very messy and he was very sorry to see it started. He referenced statistics v.Thich clearly do not justify compromising any body's property rights for daycare. He -wished this were a residential center where someone moved in and cared for 10 children- He requested that ~m. Lockhart and Mayor Houston and Cm. Howard all abstain because of conflicts. - . : .'. Ralph Hughes stated the videotape showed a child crying and stated the intent was to-show this is what hap~ 40 hours per week. If this were the case, there would be many complaints to the City as well as to the State. 'This center has been in operation for about 700 days and.Mr. Krekorian has had the opportunity to photograph and the only example he can give is the sound of a child crying. Unfortunately, kids do cry. He travels this road at least twice a day and he agreed there are times when you have to sit and wait. The noise and traffic on Amador Valley Boulevard is enough to make you pull your hair out. This is not because of the daycare center, though. Kids don't even start arriving until about 7:30 a_ID. What was shown in the photograph was children who are supervised and in groups and in a home setting. They came out of a home and go to a home during their daycare hours. They are given an opportunity to spend hours away frOID their parents in a home setting. We all want to see what is ~...st for the children. Everything in our life, unfortunately at some time, comes dovro to profitability.

The basic fact is what the neighbors want to occur is to limit quality daycare. The State carne up with the number of 30 children after conducting an investigation of this facility.

Burton asked about requiring an EIR for additional numbers. :: Mr. Carrington stated it would be an analysis to look at the potential noise impacts of such a facility. em. Burton stated the previous application did not address this. Mr. Carrington stated the initial approval was for 10 children outside and this was in accordance with the written statement of the applicant. Cm. Lockhart clarified that the number of 10 carne from the applicanfs statement. Ivtr. Carrington stated yes, this was done within the last few weeks. Cm. Barnes stated with regard to traffic she goes through there 6 to 8 times a day . and did not feel traffic is a problem as a result of the day=- She still thinks the noise of the children is preferable. The need for daycare and the location must be in residential areas. She stated she will fight for this to her dying day. It dcr--s not necessarily mean you are sustaining the lifestyle of someone driving a certain type of car. One of her respons:ibilities is to personal and property rights. This yard is about the same size as hers and she feels 10 is adequate. Regarding the switch from 9:00 a.m. to 8:00 a.m., she felt 9:00 !Lm. is adequate. She commented she could see allowing for 30 children, but no more than lOin ibe yard and the hours should stay the-same. Cm. LocKhart advised that she does have a Grandson who attends there.

She checked with the City Attorney with regard to a conflict and she has not received any funds and she did not feel she should shirk her duties to the rest of the community simply because her daughter selected. this facility. This has provided her an opportunity to go inside this daycare center on occasion and she does not understand why there is such a big gap between what people say goes on there. She is concerned about the concept that 'I have my house and have a right to the airspace that goes with it'. She had a neighbor move in: recently with a yapping dog. This annoys her but she does not intend to sue them. There are high school games right down the street and bands playing and other noises that go on around there. She feels strongly also that daycare in our community is a serious and important issue. ' . -: Cm. Burton felt there is no question that childcare is very important and he has tried to help the Arroyo Vista project get into childcare so people can go to work. He wanted to take this from the standpoint of what was agreed to and what was expected of them and what are the results. There was a hearing and the conditional use which was approved should be adhered to. They should show they have obeyed the conditions., He considered the idea that they are not complying. He understands the noise will go over aID foot fence and go out into the neighborhood. They have approval for 20 and already we are in trouble. If we go to 30, we will get into more trouble. He would like to see the neighbors . accept the fact that they will have a daycare center in their neighborhood. We should leave it as it is and everybody should get together and try to work it out. There is a conditional use on the property. Mayor Houston responded to the comment regarding supporting the lifestyle of p"".,ople using the facility. We are working with our fellow Dublin residents. There is a need for this type of service in the community. TIlls was not a very compelling argument. Regarding the comment of supporting Mayor Houston in his candidacy, the record 'will show he supported this before, during and after, the election. The animosity among the parties is unhealthy and people have to get over this. They need to start working together. Anytime you start getting attorneys involved, you are way off base. It is unhealthy for the neighborhood and unhealthy for the City of Dublin. There has to be a way to work together and not get so polarized in a bizarre way. He wanted to support the number of 30 and would like to see 15 allowed outside at one time. This would be a I""~onable step. He agro..M with keeping the hours. em.

This is a compelling comment on one neighborhood versus another. It can happen if people ,",ill let it. She would like to see the children allowed out in the summer or when the weather is nice at 8:30 a_m. If the State says the place is qualified for 30 children, the City should agree. Cm'. Burton felt it will be very difficult to satisfy everybody. A conditional use was granted and it has not proven to be without problems. We should leave it as is until there are satisfactory conclusions to the problems. We are not trying to remove childcare, but just hold it as it is. : em. Barnes commented 34 years ago she moved to Dublin and her house burned down. The neighbors invited them to stay the night and helped them. She asked the people to start acting like neighbors. Let's start living some of the Dublin Pride, City Proud attitudes. Cm. Barnes made a motion, which was seconded by Crn. Lockhart to let them increase to 30 children, keep the 9:00 a_m. time for outside play and allow 15 kids outdoors at a time. Ms. Silver requested a break to allow Staff to modify the resolution. At 8:47 p_ID. Mayor Houston called for a 5 minute break. At 9:07 p.m. the meeting reconvened with all Councilmembers present. Ms. Silver read the suggested wording for the Resolution. She stated it was her understanding that the motion was to adopt Exhibit A of the Staff Report. Paragraph 2 allows a maximum of 30 children. Paragraph 7 of the Conditions of Approval indicates no outside activities may take place before 8:00 a.m.. This would be changed to 9:00 a.m. Paragraph 9 says a 111HXimum of 30 children at a time would be allowed in the backyard. The motion was to change this to no more than 15. Ms. Silver suggested that Paragraph 9 be changed to state there shall be a 111HXimum of 10 children in the backyard and add "if the applicant submits a noise study to Staff that is satisfactory, the applicant may have 15 children in the back at anyone time." If the Council adopts the Resolution, the center would be able to have no more than lOin the bac1.'Yard until they submit a noise study to Staff, and if Staff finds it acceptable, they could then have 15. This would r=~uire no further action on the part of the Council. em. Burton asked if an EIR would be required..

We have lived in Dublin for] 5 + years and feel that this is a close lazit community. It goes against the grain to have a fadEly/business of this size in a family oriented neighborhood A house of this size could never house a family with so many children and a business of this size belongs in a business park, not a residental {sic} community: Let us keep our neighborhood just thB:~ families and neighbors.

We are requesting that 30 children be allowed in the back yard at one time. The sound study we had performed for the City ofDuhlin by far exceeded 30 children by five times. We also find it a hardship in nice weather not to allow all the children to be outside during certain times of the day. Many children who live in condominiwns and apartments do not have the opportunity to play outdoors during the day. It is very difficult to explain to a young child that he or she has to wait their turn especially now that the weather is getting warm. With all the rainfall this year we were rarely outdoors at all ! We sincerely hope the City Council will make the right decision in our favor. We serve many families of Dublin. and feel our Playschool has made a positive contribution to the City of Dublin and will continue to make every effort possible to make available quality care and learning experiences to the children of Dublin tID..l'ayers, Thank you for your attention to this request. .
