The traffic and parking problems associated with the related pick-ups, and drop <br /> offs, will cause an adverse impact on Lincoln Road as well as the sidewalks near <br /> the front of the location. Presently, the only parking spaces at this residence are <br /> in the driveway and the public curb in front. A request to reduce the number of <br /> parking spaces should not be granted, especially since there are no real spaces <br /> to begin with. <br /> Vehicles that will be used by their customers to drive to the day care business <br /> will stack up along the curb lines and cause undue hardship for the adjacent <br /> residences. Residents will have to compete for parking spaces in front of their <br /> own homes. This is wrong and it is ridiculous to allow this type of activity without <br /> ample parking. There is a large elementary school and a church just a few <br /> hundred feet to the east making Lincoln Road already congested. Adding this <br /> use will make things much worse. It will be too dangerous to both drivers and <br /> pedestrians. Allowing this use would be a contributing factor to an accidental <br /> collision and/or injury occurring at that location. Expensive liability litigation <br /> would be inevitable. <br /> The tax paying and voting residents of this neighbor have worked long and hard <br /> to maintain its quality and charm. We will continue to do so. Please do not allow <br /> a money making venture by one applicant to affect the quality of life for the many <br /> retired and active working people who live in this neighborhood. There are plenty <br /> of more appropriate locations that need tenants that could be used for this <br /> venture without trying to stuff it into what has been one of the finest residential <br /> neighborhoods in our county. Any potential revenue gained by the County as a <br /> result of the applicant's business would be miniscule compared to the damage <br /> that would be caused to the public's trust in our County government. It is <br /> expected that the Community Development Department and other County <br /> officials protect us from improper property uses such as the applicant's. <br /> I appreciate your time and consideration regarding this matter. Please notify me <br /> regarding any public hearings on this project. Your assistance would be very <br /> much appreciated. <br /> Respectfully, <br /> Thomas T.
