CU-53=78 MRS. MARTHA STILTNER - Conditional Use Permit for day care at 7618
200th St. S.W. RD
Mrs. Luster said day care centers are allowed in a RD zone with a
Conditional Use Permit. The applicant wished to operate such a center
for children aged 6-12.years. Most of the children are part-time,
generally arriving at noon and leaving at 6:00 p.m. The State had
approved a licence for the applicant and the applicant was,. in fact,
already in business. She had a very large play area for the children,
exceeding the Code requirement, and she also had play equipment for
the children. The children would be supervised at all times, but
there was the possibility of their tossing toys or rocks over the
fence and thereby being a nuisance to the adjoining property owner.
The site has a high fence and it is approximately 3' below the grade
of the property to the south. To the east is a family with children.
This site is well screened from the other neighborhood properties.
The applicant had taken appropriate precautions in her home to'keep
cleaning and poisonous substances outside the reach of children.
Mrs. Luster recommended approval because the use met all of the require-
ments on the Zoning Code and all State requirements, the play area is
fenced and well screened from the view of other neighbors, and the
children will be well supervised which should preclude any .problems of
damage to neighboring property or excessive noise. Mr. Leraas inquired
whether there was a maximum number of children permitted. Mrs. Luster
responded that the number of children was determined by the size of the
property and play area. She said the applicant intended having no more
than 10 children at one time. The public -portion of the hearing was opened
and the applicant said she had been'in business since:August and she -needed
approval of the City for insurance purposes. She said there was adequate.
space to park off the street when parents were leaving or picking up their
children. The public portion of the hearing was then closed. Mr. Roy
commented that this appeared to be a suitable location for this type.of
use and he noted that there had been no objection.voiced from the neighbor-
hood. MR. ROY THEN MOVED, SECONDED BY MR. LERAAS, TO APPROVE'CU-53-78
AS HE DID NOT FIND IT TO BE DETRIMENTAL TO THE HEALTH, WELFARE, AND SAFETY
OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD. MOTION CARRIED.

Mrs. Luster advised the Board that this item had been continued three
` times. She said the applicant had been informed about three months ago
that the application he had submitted was not acceptable. He was. advised
to submit some revised material and each month, about two days before the
hearing, he had asked that it be continued. Mrs. Luster said he had
indicated to her this month that he would take some action and she had
told him that she would need the information by the 7th of the month.
She had not heard from him since. She had tried to contact him on
Monday, November 13, but the number he had given her was no longer in
i operation. She asked that the,Board officially withdraw the item.
i MRS.=DERLETH STATED THAT SHE; FOUND THAT THE•APPLICANT.HAD;ABANDONED HIS, .
REQUEST:`AT`THIS"TIME, AND" SHE'' THEREFORE,, MOVED' ''SECONDED"BY 'MR " LERAAS, `
THAT -APPLICATION V-71-78 BE WITHDRAWN.
Mrs. Luster advised the Board of the new attendance requirements which had been
established by the City Council. The ordinance setting forth the attendance require-
ments will be furnished to each Board member. The ordinance was effective November 13,
1978, but the attendance requirements will apply to all meetings held after January 1,
1979.
There was no further business to come before the Beard, and the meeting was adjourned
at 9:35 p.m.
