<br />Thomas Paschke, City Planner <br />Community Development Dept., City of Roseville <br />2660 Civic Center Drive <br />Roseville, Minnesota 55113 <br /> <br />January 28, 2002 <br /> <br />Dear Mr. Paschke, <br /> <br />We are writing to you in request for the permit of the conditional use of our property. We are <br />currently a state-licensed group family daycare and would like to upgrade to a day care center <br />with a limited number of children at our home. There are 14 children in our day care and it is <br />in full enrollment in accordance to the family day care size limit. This limit always puts 6 or 7 <br />children on waiting list. Weare the only Chinese day care in Twin City area, providing <br />excellent Chinese and English bilingual teaching programs. We have tried to find a public <br />place to set up a day care center, but cannot find any in this community (most Chinese live in <br />this area). We are considering upgrading our family day care to a day care center with a size <br />limit of 21 children and requesting your approval. <br /> <br />Our property is a R-1 single-family residential home, but it has unique features to be a day care <br />center with a limited number of children. <br />1. Spacious rooms inside the house, 1500 sq. ft available for day care use. <br />2. Ample concrete parking lot, 2400 sq. ft. with a capacity of 10 cars. In addition, street <br />parking is available for eight cars in front of the property. <br />3. Very large yard, 296 feet long and 130 feet wide, surrounded by walls oflush shrubbery. In <br />the center of the back yard is a large play ground, more than SO feet away from either side <br />of the neighbors' properties and wood fence will be instan,~d in the back yard in April <br />2002. <br /> <br />The only variance is that the west side of our home is less than 50 feet from our neighbor's <br />property. However, the property boundary is divided by lush shrubbery and between the <br />neighbor's property and our home is our garage. The actual di:;tance from our home to the <br />neighbor's property is 45 feet. This is an existing home and ori~,inally built in this shape and <br />location in 1951. We cannot do anything to change the physical shape and location.. <br /> <br />We would very much appreciate it if you could consider our request. Look forward to hearing <br />from you. Thank you very much. <br /> <br />Sincerely, <br /> <br />Laiyun Yan & Junxia Li <br /> <br />
