I live on 3rd Street between Quackenbos and Peabody and when I walk my dog in the morning I have to look over my shoulder towards New Hampshire Avenue as I'm crossing the Street on Quackenbos for all the Maryland license plates cars making the illegal turn from N. H. to drop their children off at the daycare center. It's illegal to turn left on that Street Monday through Friday until 9:30 am

I oppose Case 20186 with the District of Columbia Board of Zoning. No special exemption should be issued due to the negative impact on the neighborhood (e.g., increased traffic, parking issues, noise, etc.).

I strongly oppose this zoning exemption. The home owner has reneged on her promise to the community to keep this a small home-based business and is now expanding the business beyond the scope of what was originally agreed upon with neighbors. The change in scope will have a negative impact on traffic, noise, parking and the general nature of our community. This is not what we signed up for when many of us moved into this neighborhood. We have tried to negotiate with the home owner to reach a happy medium, to no avail, as she refuses to budge from her intent to force neighbors to live with the impact of her lucrative venture. Not what I call being a good neighbor.

Many still live here that have been living here with the promise that this is my home in my neighborhood. It is a beautiful neighborhood evidenced by community involvement, and the beautiful, peaceful neighborhood that took lots of blood, sweat and tears to arrive at. A newcomer has come in our midst and wants to change the zoning. Undoubtedly this change will leave a footprint forever that will change the neighborhood or destroy it over time. Black lives matter to me. As this senior African American population was getting ready to enjoy the merits of retirement, it now readies itself to fight once again. We are not unlike any other peoples, Black lives matter. When we leave home, home is the place where we are always trying to get back to.

I strongly oppose this zoning exemption. If granted, it'll allow: 1-A business to operate in an area of homes that's zoned residential, 2- A 3 story addition, 3- The addition of a 3rd story on the existing home day care (both 3rd floors are out of character with the surrounding 2 story homes), 4- Increased traffic, parking and related safety concerns on a quite residential street and lastly 5- If granted, anyone else can apply for a zoning exemption in our Community and use this exemption as a means, to support their appl. and in time, potentially destroy the character of our residential neighborhood. Is your Community next?

I am a neighbor with 300ft of this property that's being expand into a Daycare Center from a home base Daycare business and will be affected by this change. Just facility that's being proposed it's going to now take up over 80% of the property with no backyard standing changing the whole phase about community within the single family homes here. This change will also take place for our zoning that's going to be heavily affected here in the community this is a non-commerce community single-family townhomes only changing that zone will only change the whole status of the community.
there's no real solution for dropping off and picking up children and such clothes facilities of houses and driveways here it is really really dangerous.
There's no off street parking at this place it's on a corner of a main Street with traffic.
Just project really need to go to a commercial zone area where there is business to operate as the same.

This is an unnecessary want in the neighborhood. And this business owner has constantly showed lack of compromising but more importantly has lied on her application. I don't understand why this application is still considered. Any other application for govt would be terminated , so should theirs.

My Dad, Mr Martin and I oppose this expansion in our residential neighborhood. Such a zoning change would cause more such property issues to crop up in the future. Our community is residential, quiet, vigilant, and should stay that way. Too many cars from all over coming and going to drop-off a larger number of children at this corner intersection will also be very unsafe for the children and our seniors.
