LffTLE ANGELS GROUP k I -I =1 : rel IT, 1 9 Beaumont City Council 401 Main Street Beaumont, Texas 77704 Dear Sir, This memorandum is to explain why I am seeking a permit to establish.a business in my neighborhood. I would like to use parts of my home as a Group Day Care. The license and regulatory department stated that I could only have twelve children .in the group home at any time, I will have assistance when the enrollment is at twelve. I have received the orientation from the regulatory department a few months ago. Other training from the PAC PROGRAM was taken on May 11 through 15.This training was given to be certified as a director of any facility. St. Anthony and Sabine Pass are two streets that are easily accessible to and from planned group home. Proper drainage was provided at the onset of homes ' construction and does not need altering. An eight -foot fence will be installed around home to insure adequate space for playground, as well as, privacy from neighborhood. The driveways that have been planned will be arranged to provide adequate parking spaces including a handicap area. As you can see, every precaution necessary will be taken to assure prevention of anything that may be annoying to neighborhood. The group home would be an asset to the neighborhood. There are no group homes in our neighborhood. The nearest childcare center is about four miles from my home. • Page 2 I would like to thank proposal to the council. Sincerely, August 24, 1998 every one for the opportunity to present my NOTE: The applicant has since informed the City staff that she plans to provide services for only six children, not twelve as originally proposed.
