Mounds View Planning Commission August 6, 1997 <br /> • Regular Meeting Page 6 <br /> The applicant, Children's Home Society, was present. <br /> Director Sheldon told the Commission that the Children's Home Society was proposing <br /> to operate a day care center in the Mounds View Community Center. The day care center <br /> would provide care for up to 95 children, ages six weeks through kindergarten, with hours <br /> from 6:30 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., Monday through Friday on a year round basis. When the <br /> program reaches full capacity of 95 children, the number of full time staff members will be <br /> 19 people. Staff has received notification from the Minnesota Department of Human <br /> Services that Children's Home Society has applied for the necessary license from that <br /> agency. <br /> Director Sheldon stated that it was the staffs recommendation to adopt Resolution No. <br /> 521-97, recommending approval of a conditional use permit for Children's Home Society <br /> to operate a day care center at 5394 Edgewood Drive, with conditions. <br /> Commissioner Johnston expressed his concern with the children crossing Edgewood to <br /> play at the City Hall Park. He wanted it put in the record that a crosswalk and signage be <br /> made a condition of the application approval. <br /> Director Sheldon stated that the proposal would be sent forward from the Planning <br /> . <br /> Commission with a condition that would say that prior to operation of the day care center <br /> a crosswalk shall be painted and signage installed. <br /> Commissioner Peterson asked if the wording as stated by Sheldon could be used for <br /> condition No.9. <br /> Director Sheldon agreed that the wording could be used as condition No.9. <br /> Commissioner Miller said that she noticed a kitchen in the project plan. She asked <br /> where the children would be served food. <br /> Children's Home Society stated that until the kitchen was completed a caterer would be <br /> hired to bring in the food and the children would eat in the class rooms. <br /> Director Sheldon stated that if the number of children in the facility ended up being 98 <br /> instead of 95 that the playground size requirement would have to be increased to 3,920 <br /> square feet. She also stated that under item 2, on page 3 of the Resolution, that there <br /> would be access to a tot lot having at least 40 square feet per child. <br /> Commissioner Miller stated the same be noted with items No. 1 and 2. <br /> • <br />
