Planning & Zoning Board November 12, 1997 • Page 8 • • Ms. Wyland concluded that Staff recommended approval of this amended conditional use permit with the following conditions: 1. An amended license for the expanded use is received from the Minnesota Department of Human Services. 2. Permits are obtained, as required, from the Building Department for any remodeling and change in signage. 3. The Fire Chief shall inspect the sight for compliance. Chair Schaps asked if hookup to City sanitary sewer would occur automatically. Ms. Wyland responded that connection to the new utilities when available would be voluntary, and that the applicant wants access as soon as possible. Mr. Dunn asked whether or not there is a legal requirement for a certain number of square feet per child in a daycare setting. Ms. Wyland responded that there are State requirements, but that she did not have the figures available. Mr. Dunn asked whether or not the facility's current mound septic system would be adequate for the additional number of children. Ms. Wyland stated that it would. The current system was installed only two years ago. Mr. Dunn asked Ms. Beecher if she was indeed serious in her intentions to connect to utilities as they become available. Ms. Beecher indicated that among other things she will be required to install a sprinkler system in the center in order to comply with the fire code, and that the current septic system would not support this system. Therefore, immediate hookup to the new utilities is necessary to her expanded operation. Chair Schaps asked about the total number of employees at the daycare center. Ms. Beecher responded that there are eleven in total, with at least seven or eight on duty at all times during hours of operation. Chair Schaps asked if there was adequate parking available for those coming to drop off or pick up children. Ms. Beecher indicated that parking is more than adequate. Mr. Robinson concurred that parking at the daycare center is quite extensive. Mr. Johnson made a MOTION to close the public hearing at 7:30 p.m., supported by Mr. Robinson. Motion carried 7 -0. Mr. Johnson made a MOTION to approve the amended conditional use permit for Pat -a- Cake Daycare, with the conditions listed above, supported by Mr. Robinson. Motion carried 7 -0.
