• Although there was some discussion of whether a chairman could be elected by Board members who had not been sworn in, the Board decided a precedent for such practice had been set and left the matter as 8B on the agenda. Mr. Fornell reported that Roger Tousley would not be present to dis- cuss his request for a rear yard variance for an addition to the Apache Car Wash at 3725 Stinson St. N.E. and the possibility was men- tioned that the applicant might be able to secure more land which would make the application necessary. Mr. Cowan said he hoped there would be more parking facilities provided to take care of the overflow along Stinson every Saturday morning. Motion by Mr. Johnson and seconded by Mr. Hiebel to table action on the Tousley request for an addition to the Apache Car Wash for further information. Motion carried unanimously. The meeting was recessed from 7 :55 to 8 :03 P.M. when the Chairman opened the Public Hearing on a Conditional Use Permit for a Day Care Home at 3012 39th Avenue N.E. Mrs. Kathleen Stanley appeared to explain that though she had only sought permission to care for one other child than her own in her home • she was following the advice of the Ramsey County social worker to obtain a license by which she may care for three preschoolers (includ- ing her own) and 2 school age children if she should choose to do so. Mr. Stanley said she now cares for a baby and a preschooler besides her own three year old. She answered questions from the Board by saying the school age child could include an adolescent; since she is under the supervision of the Welfare Department, there is no expiration date on her license, and because she is required to be outside with the children whenever they play there, there is no requirement to have a fenced in play area. However the applicant said she and her husband would probably want to fence in an area for that purpose for their own child. Mr. Rymarchick expressed his concern with the size of the backyard as a play area without a fence. No one else appeared to speak for or against the proposal and at 8 : 15 P.M. the Public Hearing was closed. Motion by Mr. Hiebel and seconded by Mr. Cowan to recommend to the Council approval of a Conditional Use Permit which will allow Mrs . Kathleen Stanley to operate a Day Care Home in her residence at 3012 39th Avenue N.E. Votion on the motion: Aye: Marks, Johnson, Hiebel , Bowerman, Cowan and Letourneau • Nay: Rymarchick (2)
