32 | The home has a backyard area that will be permanently off limits to the day care as due to the terrain and other hazards it is not suitable for use by children. The yard is made off limits with with a locking kitchen exit door that is found in the off limits kitchen. The home also has a gated front yard that will also temporarily be made off limits to children as the right side alley way leading toward the off limits back yard does not have secured gating to prevent children from accessing the backyard and the yard also has uneven loose bricks beneath the imitation turf installed in the yard.
Applicant states the yard will remain off limits until a new, secured gate is installed at the entrance of the side alleyway and the flooring in the front yard is leveled so that there are no tripping hazards. Applicant understands that once the yard renovations have been completed, she will not be able to start using it until the area is inspected and approved by Licensing during a future visit. Applicant states in the meantime she will take children to a local park for outdoor activities whenever needed.
