That we all love. Thank you. Next speaker, please. Good evening. My name is Stewart Gaffney and i live a few houses from the site where the applicants seek to relocate their business. I want to address several points about the application. They want to relocate their business and please note that the proposal did not provide a Necessary Service to our neighborhood as it moves an existing facility with existing students and existing wait list from coming a different neighborhood and not serving our own. I understand that their Current Center has 17 and the relocation would add only 68 openings for those who may be on their existing wait list, but would come at the cost of disrupting a neighborhood whose residents like the elderly retiree next door to the property truly value its quiet residential character and at the cost of losing a use of a vintage house. The relocation results in the addition of only. 5 fte, the existing staff of the school would simply remain with one employee movin
I do think this are other properties that could well accommodate a childcare center. This is a 900 or 950squarefoot house and they want to put 21 kids. Im also a Real Estate Agent and i think it diminishes the value of the property because if a lot of people work at home these days and you will hear a lot of kids throughout the day. I had a house recently across from the school and the first question out of everybodys mouth is what about the school . How loud is it . If its right next to you, its very loud and all the way around there is a lot of neighborhood people that are concerned. So i hope that you dont pass it. I am sure that the polka dot school is very good and i know there is a lot of room and we need a lot of Great Teachers and item sure they are great, but i dont think it longs belongs in the middle of a totally residential block. Thank you. good. Good evening, im Catherine Mcdonald [speaker not understood] my house has retained its value and although there have noise comin
And sound travels. If you have a party at your house and windows are open, people can hear and that is how they know where the parties are. I am familiar with this business and i know there are a lot of businesses on polk street that causes nuisances and i know this is not one of those businesses. There are businesses that cater to younger, full bar, noisier demographic. I would consider supporting this with conditions, with removal of the speaker and ask project sponsor to close the windows when you have live music. Do you have air conditioning . To the extent possible . What is it . 8 00 for noise ordinance isnt there time . I believe its 10 00 p. M. When the decibel level changes. I recognize that people go to bed earlier, but the windows would never be open past 10 00 or whatever. I would defer to other people to make that call. , but 10 00 seems reasonable based upon the sound ordinance. So that is my motion. Second. Commissioner antonini . I agree with that. I think its a good es
