Item 15 was a public hearing which had been scheduled for this time and place by a motion adopted on July 1, 1997, on the appeal of the Planning Commission's approval of a Special Use Permit for a daycare center at 2812 Lenox Drive (Z- 6295), owned by Earnestine Montgomery. The appeal was filed by Mr. Larry Bledsoe, President of Kensington Place Board of Directors. (This item came before the Planning Commission as a result of a recent zoning enforcement action. The Zoning Office conducted a survey of all day care uses within residences in the City of Little Rock based 3 794 Minutes August 5, 1997 on information obtained from the State Department of Human Services and found that a number of these day care uses did not have the appropriate city permits.) Mayor Dailey declared the public hearing open at 6:32 o'clock P.M. Mr. Bledsoe addressed the Board, stating that operating a business from one's home is a direct violation of the Bill of Assurance that residents of Kensington Place have lived under for 22 years. Purchasers of property in Kensington Place agree to abide by its rules and regulations and bylaws. Mrs. Montgomery has operated the childcare business for eight years, and some residents were under the impression they were offering baby- sitting services, but the majority of the residents had no idea what was going on. A ballot was submitted to residents of Kensington Place asking whether they would approve or disapprove of a zoning variance allowing the operation of a home -based daycare center. The vote was 111 to 10 against the daycare center. He concluded by asking the Board of Directors to rescind the Special Use Permit for the daycare center at 2812 Lenox Drive.. Mr. Alim A. Qaasim, a member of the Board of Directors of Kensington Place, also spoke in opposition to the daycare center, stating this would open the door to other types of businesses in Kensington Place. Mr. Lott Rolf, 2908 Lennox, a resident of Kensington Place for 20 years, said the residents want to keep the value of their homes and were made aware of the restrictions of non - commercial use in the bylaws when they purchased their homes. If the daycare center is allowed, there is nothing to keep others from starting such businesses. He concluded by asking the Board to help keep Kensington Place a non - commercial use. Mr. Michael Adams, 2915 Lennox Drive, said he bought his home over a year ago to raise his family, not to move into a commercial business area. Mr. Jim Lawson, Director of Planning and Development, noted that the State License allowed up to 16 children, but the owner has agreed to a limit of 10 children. Staff does not see this as having a detrimental impact on the residential area. Mayor Dailey declared the public hearing closed. He stated if the Board approves the special use permit, then it becomes a court issue between the property owners and the individual because the Little Rock Board of Directors does not enforce Bills of Assurance. Director Adcock wanted City Manager Charles Nickerson to provide more information on what other cities are doing about home daycares. There was a motion by Director Keck to defer the Resolution until August 19, 1997. The motion was seconded by Director Cazort and adopted by a voice vote of eight ayes and two noes (Wyrick and Dailey). Therefore, no action was taken on the proposed Resolution entitled: A RESOLUTION RESCINDING THE LITTLE ROCK PLANNING COMMISSION'S ACTION IN APPROVING A SPECIAL USE PERMIT FOR A DAY CARE FAMILY HOME (MAXIMUM OF 10 CHILDREN) LOCATED AT 2812 LENNOX DRIVE (Z- 6295). (The Resolution was deferred to August 19, 1997.) (NOTE: Mr. Larry Bledsoe filed the appeal on both Items 15 and 16 so they were discussed at the same time since both are located in Kensington Place Subdivision) Items 16 on the Agenda was a related public hearing on the appeal of the Planning Commission's approval of a Special Use Permit for a daycare center at 2920 Romine Road, operated by Johnny and Frances Stanfield. The appeal was filed by Mr. Larry Bledsoe, President of Kensington Place Board of Directors. (This item came before the Planning Commission as a result of a recent zoning enforcement action. The Zoning Office conducted a survey of all day care uses within residences in the City of Little Rock based on information obtained from the State Department of Human Services and found that a number of these day care uses did not have the appropriate city permits) Mayor Dailey declared the public hearing open. Mr. Bledsoe addressed the Board, stating that operating a business from one's home is a direct violation of the Bill of Assurance that residents of Kensington Place have lived under for 22 years. Purchasers of property in Kensington Place agree to abide by its rules and regulations and bylaws. The Stanfields have operated a daycare center for approximately three years and some residents were under the impression they were offering baby- sitting services, but the majority of the residents had no idea what was going on. A ballot was submitted to residents of Kensington Place asking whether they would approve or disapprove of a zoning variance 4 Minutes August 5, 1997 '795 allowing the operation of a home -based daycare center. The vote was 111 to 10 against the daycare center. He concluded by asking the Board of Directors to rescind the Special Use Permit for the daycare center at 2920 Romine Road. Mr. Alim A. Qaasim, a member of the Board of Directors of Kensington Place, also spoke in opposition to the daycare center, stating this would open the door to other types of businesses in Kensington Place. Rev. Johnny Stanfield said at one time he sat on the Board of Directors of Kensington Place and during that time he told the Board he did not have a copy of the Bill of Assurance; therefore, he did not vote on issues involving the Bill of Assurance. He just recently obtained a copy of the Bill of Assurance. Rev. Stanfield said he and his wife have operated the home daycare center for three years and have never had any complaints. They have complied with the requirements of Planning and Zoning and the State of Arkansas. They also met with the Kensington Place Home Owners Association to try to resolve this issue. There are others within Kensington Place that have businesses in their homes. Mr. Charles Harvin, 3014 Romine Road, spoke in support of the Stanfield daycare center. Mr. Jim Lawson, Director of Planning and Development, noted that the State License allowed up to 16 children, but the owner has agreed to a limit of 10 children. Staff does not see this as having a detrimental impact on the residential area. Mayor Dailey declared the public hearing closed. He stated if the Board approves the special use permit, then it becomes a court issue between the property owners and the individual because the Little Rock Board of Directors does not enforce Bills of Assurance. Director Adcock wanted City Manager Charles Nickerson to provide more information on what other cities are doing about home daycares. There was a motion by Director Keck to defer the Resolution until August 19, 1997. The motion was seconded by Director Cazort and adopted by a voice vote of eight ayes and two noes (Wyrick and Dailey). Therefore, no action was taken on the proposed Resolution entitled: A RESOLUTION RESCINDING THE LITTLE ROCK PLANNING COMMISSION'S ACTION IN APPROVING A SPECIAL USE PERMIT FOR A DAY CARE FAMILY HOME (MAXIMUM OF 10 CHILDREN) LOCATED AT 2920 ROMINE ROAD (Z- 6301). The Resolution was deferred to August 19, 1997. (Director Keck asked Planning Director Jim Lawson to begin looking at a policy to deal with full fledged businesses operating in residential homes. Director Cazort asked City Attorney Tom Carpenter if the privilege license ordinance makes a distinction between in -home licensed daycare and any other type of daycare and how those two distinctions can be broken out with a requirement on in -home daycare privilege license that all zoning issues must be dealt with. Director Keck asked that any in -home business be included.) (Directors Keck and Hodges were excused at 7:10 o'clock P.M. Director Keck recused since his employer owns the land involved in Items 17 and 18 - see Ordinances No. 17,533 and 17,534.)
