D. Use Description Proposed Primrose School Primrose School Franchising Company is the pre-eminent provider of educational based private preschools and childcare centers in the United States with over 500 locations in 34 states. Primrose Schools, along with our local Franchise Owners, Steve and Gina Dahlblom, are excited to bring Primrose to Lake Elmo. We are proposing to construct a 2-story childcare building on 1.7 acres within the Bridgewater Village Development. The building is to have 12 classrooms where the children are separated by age. Most classrooms will have 2 teachers at capacity with a maximum shift of 24. A unique feature of this Primrose School, given the colder climate, is an indoor play area, which is accompanied by outdoor playground areas on the east and south side
