HomeMy WebLinkAboutMisc. October 17,1985 Mr. Callaway Planning & Zoning Commission College Station, TX RE: After school care at 7805 Shiloh. During the past six weeks my son has been staying at TammyCalliham's residence after school from 4:00PM - 5:30PM each day. It is my understanding that 'certain individuals are opposing after school care located at 7805 Shiloh. with this in mind, I would like to outline the following in'formation: 1. Tammy Callihamprovides a very structured environment for those children who are in her care. 2. Each day when I arrive to pick-up my child he is either inside the house or in the front yard. 3. If the children have homework, Tammy supervises their work until it is complete. 4. Tammy is not.running~ DAY CARE CENTER, she is providing AFTER SCHOOL CARE, approximately 1 1/2 hours a day. If RAINTREE was a neighborhood where children were rare, ?PI?oSin9af~er~ehoolc9I:e might be something to consider, but, tllat.,j,.s.tlot tlle case. The services that TAMMY is offering are very useful to the community. With these facts in mind I hope you will continue to let her provide after school care in her residence. Sincerely, ~~4z~ /7 O~ Debbie Norris 2611 N. Wilderness College Station, Tx 15, concern: that it an emp- extended care the children on 2 cost p October 15, 1985 Dear Shil.oh and Appomattox residents: This letter is writ~en in: an att'empt to clarify some misconceptions whic.hhave .arisenin my w.ife.'s attempt to obtain a conditional use permit to keep a few children "9.fters'chool. First, this is not a waiver of a'nydeed restriction. It is merely a permit allowing Tammy to keep up to a, rriaximumof eight children (all of whom would be Raintree residents only) for a period from 3:30 to 5:30 on, weekdays only and all day on'teacher conferenc~ days. These permits are limited and any deviation from the permit wo~l,d be a violation ofth'e City ordinance. ,Seco'nd,t,he children wtllbe confined to the house and yard, will oe well supervised and not allowed to go off the premises until picked up by their parents. Third" Ta mmyi sallow e d " b y law to keep up to three children without a permit and is only asking forperm,issionto~eep up to five fuore although, she only has six parents total who have expressed an interest. She would be more t,hanhappyto ask the commission to set a maximum of six children. Fourth, this permit does not "run with the land", in other words it is, not grantedtoa partitular piece of property in this case, but only to an individual and if we move, this particular permi twould be void .' Fifth, the concern that we are leasing instead of buying has n.o relevance in that people sell th'eirhousesand'move just as people terminate a lease and move. Buying a house does not insure permanent residency; andth,ere are now many long term leases and leases vIi th options to purchase in force. La.st and most important ,'Tam>my and I realize thesancti tyof the ,neighborhood. We have many friends in '~Haintree especially on Shiloh, Appomattox and Stonewall where, we previousl'y resided. Wewoulddon,()thing in ,the world to. adversely effect the neighborhood and we" want despera'tely to preserve the comradery which, we know exists between neighbors on these streets. Therenore, we hope that Page2of2 the request for the per'mit will not be blown out of proportion and create any ill will or anim.osity. I wou~d be more .thanhappy to visit with you and discuss your concerns and opinion on this. matter at,your convenience. Also, Jim Callaway ~t the' City Hall would be able t6dispel-l anyfea.rs you might have of any detriment to t~e 'neighborhood ,or subdi vision. We hope soon to beabIe' to meet with all of you whom we have not met. And , regardless of theout'come of the commission meeting we wi.Il continually strive tobegood'neighbors and good friends. This fri'endship and good will between all neighbors is far more im- portantthan theserviceTammy.~~is se.ektng to.'establish for Raintree paren ts.' . , Si n cer e lY,,;,.)J, au r s , .,..t' , .""

The hours being from 3.:30 ,p.m. --5:30 p.m. 'with the exception of, teacher conference days when I would keep the children all day. I would not be keeping childr'en during Christmas ho Or Spring break. There would be no transportation involved on my part in that the children live in R,aintree Addition and ride the bus in the afternoons to our neighborhood. I would like to have a limi t of eight children because I ha've been asked to keep some children on a drop-in basis. So' it's possible I may have eight children at one time, but not probable. Havingtbis service available for Raintree families would make it very convenient for, the parents to pick their child up on their wayhom'e from work and would give the children a chance to get acquainted and play wi thother children in the.ir neighborhood. r~C~ 9191B~ ''"), '" j ';, ' ," f7 CJ~ _. -r;.' mA~ ~. ~1 \ ') tJRvt ~ WiLU f' " ",' ~), .'... l ~'~ . ~jctl/U c~" n ' ~'" --------' f:)A~' ,.
