MINUTES PLANNING COMMISSION May 3, 1990 Drabik stated that there might be no increase in traffic at this time, but pointed out that in the , future there could be more families using the center if families each only had one child at the center. Hennessey again stated that she would speak to the parents using the center about traffic speeds and blocking neighbor's driveways. Carle pointed out that this is a business being run in . a residential neighborhood. Carle reported that he has a business and must run it from a business area. DeLonais pointed out that the Code allows for certain home occupations. Carle stated that he purchased a house on a cul -de -sac, and did not want a house on a freeway. Morgan pointed out that there are eight families using the day care, that means eight cars to and from Hennessey's house. Morgan felt that all the parents using the day care would cooperate to resolve the speeding concerns. Drabik pointed out that Hennessey has two people helping her with the day care center, and home occupations are supposed to be limited to just the resident. The City Planner replied that the Code provides for unusual and unique conditions for non- resident assistance, and it was his opinion that this situation would qualify since the State requires a certain number of day care providers per number of children. Pedersen pointed out that if the Commission recommends against the Conditional Use Permit, there will still be 12 children at the day care center, and the same amount of traffic going up and down the street. Leese asked if there were any codes that Hennessey was required to comply with to keep the license that she currently has. Hennessey reported that she is licensed by the County and they inspect her home annually looking at the issues of safety, fencing, discipline, etc. The County does not consider the effect of the day care center on the neighborhood.
