He stated the daycare will use similar <br />format with seven classrooms in the interior. <br /> <br />Chair Stromgren asked if the building would be 100 percent occupied. <br /> <br />Mr. Foster replied the tenants there now would remain. He commented a construction business <br />and an appraisal firm occupy the building. <br /> <br />Chair Stromgren asked if the construction business had warehouse facilities. <br /> <br />Mr. Foster replied they have limited warehouse area. He stated the dock would remain until they <br />decide whether or not to stay beyond their lease which expires mid 2009. He pointed out where <br />access to the docks would be. He stated truck traffic would be from the southwest end of the <br />building and separate from the daycare. He stated the traffic is mainly service traffic. <br /> <br />Commissioner Galyon questioned whether both playground areas would be fenced; as only the <br />play area next to building appears to be fenced on the site plan. <br /> <br />Mrs. Arens replied the play areas would be fenced per State Health and Family Service <br />requirements. <br /> <br />Commissioner Galyon asked if there is any concern with the crosswalks and supervision. <br /> <br />Mrs. Arens replied that most of the time, children play outside is 9:30 – 11:00 and 3:30 to 4:30 <br />p.m. She stated all children are escorted on the crosswalks. <br /> <br />Mr. Foster commented one of the initial plans for the play area outside of the northeast corner of <br />the building was objected to by the tenants; therefore, this area would not be used. <br /> <br />Commissioner Galyon questioned bathroom needs for the children while outside. <br /> <br />Mrs. Arens replied one staff member would escort these children, leaving another one to watch <br />remaining children. <br /> <br />Commissioner Galyon asked if the design is new or an existing design. <br /> <br />Mr. Foster replied it is a different design with angled parking. He commented the parking lot <br />would be resealed. <br /> <br />Commissioner Galyon commented the 69 parking stalls are more than required. He questioned <br />the play area and walkway lighting. <br /> <br />Mr. Foster replied all the walking areas would be used during daytime hours. <br /> <br />Mrs. Arens commented that play time is adjusted to match seasonal daylight hours. <br />
