Traffic Volume: In speaking with the City of Madison Engineering Department, Rustic Road is designed as a local street. It is designed to handle 3,000 vehicles per day. A 40-child daycare will produce approximately 160 vehicle trips per day. The daycare would not be a traffic concern as long as adequate parking was available on site. Noise levels of children:The hours of operation are limited to 7:00am to 6:00pm. The daycare will not be open on the weekends. The amount of children able to be outside at one time is 12. The nearest residence to the outdoor activity area is 225 feet. Staff feels that the limit hours of operation,the limited amount of children outside at any one time, and the distance to neighboring residences,will not create a nuisance in the neighborhood. Parking: Parking will be prohibited on Rustic Drive. The daycare will have adequate parking for both employees and customers. Aisle width and parking stalls have been increased to ensure ease of parking on site. Property Values: In speaking with City of Madison Assessor's Office, they found no reduction in home sale prices of houses in close proximity to daycare centers around the Madison area. Staff Update:The conditions have been revised to reflect the concerns expressed at the public hearing. The maximum amount of children has been reduced from 50 to 40 students. The parking layout was amended to provide additional spaces.
