He stated this had been requested from other applicants. Mr. Foster indicated specific areas on the site map where plantings could be added there to meet the requirements. Chair Stromgren replied they could. Commissioner Jensen questioned whether the site survey would be available to the City Council for the next meeting. Mr. Foster replied the survey would be available to the Council members. Chair Stromgren question whether surveyor’s marking from a previous survey were accurate. Mr. Foster replied they are from an older survey and are still valid. Chair Stromgren commented on the drop off areas and the request for sidewalks to these areas. He indicated the current layout did not indicate sidewalks. He stated he is concerned that two perpendicular and two parallel spaces would created safety issues. Mr. Foster displayed the site plan and indicated they would be willing to add the sidewalk and eliminate two drop off spots. Discussion ensued on options. Chair Stromgren questioned on drawing showing the existing tree in the larger play area to be removed. He questioned why a mature tree would be removed and specie planted. Mrs. Ahrens replied safety requirements dictate trees within a play area.

Motion by Chair Stromgren, seconded by Commissioner Heinis, to approve the Conditional Use Permit for the Jack and Jill Daycare and Pre-School Facility, 2812 Anthony Lane South subject to conditions and the submission of the survey.
