Consideration of Conditional Use Permit, Kids at Heart Child Care, 7330 Lake Drive - Ms. Wyland explained that the Kids at Heart Child Care Center is located at 7330 Lake Drive in the Gethsemane Methodist Church building. They have been at this site since January, 1992 and hold a license from the State of Minnesota for 35 children. Recently a request was submitted to the State to increase the number of children to 42. The breakdown is as follows: 20 Pre -School Children 15 School Age Children 7 Toddlers 2 1/2 to 5 years of age 5 to 12 years of age 16 months to 2 1/2 years old The Methodist Church's property is zoned Medium Density Residential (R-3) and the Zoning Ordinance provides for day care nurseries (15 children or more) with a Conditional Use Permit. The City staff was asked to review the child care center as a result of the request to increase the number of children to 42. In the review process it was determined that the facility was originally licensed by the State, however a Conditional Use Permit was never required by the City. The applicant has now been required to obtain the necessary Conditional Use Permit. Space has been provided within the church building for a play/fellowship area, nursery, kitchen and rest rooms. A fenced playground on the site is used for outdoor recreation. There are currently four (4) full-time employees and two (2) part-time employees. The facility is open from 6:00 A.M. to 6:00 P.M. Parking in the church parking lot is more than adequate to serve this use. The State Licensing Division, the Fire Marshall, the Building PAGE 20 1 8 4
