Mayor Sanger opened the public hearing and requested proof of publication. City Manager Owens reported that this is a public hearing and resolution to consider a Conditional Use Permit application submitted by David Weber on behalf of Kol Rinah, owner under contract, to allow the operation of a 3,300 square foot child care facility on the first floor of the subject building and to allow parking in the front yard area. The property is located at the northwest corner of Maryland Avenue and Hanley Road, with additional frontage on Linden Avenue. The 1.45 acre site has a zoning designation of R-2 Single Family Dwelling District and is currently developed with a 32,311 square foot church building (The Journey Church). The applicant proposes to operate an eight classroom, 3,300 square foot early childhood center for infants through pre-Kindergarten for up to 88 children.
The 1.45 acre site has a zoning designation of R-2 Single Family Dwelling District and is currently developed with a 32,311 square foot church building (The Journey Church). The applicant proposes to operate an eight classroom, 3,300 square foot early childhood center for infants through pre-Kindergarten for up to 88 children. Proposed hours of operation are 7:30 a.m. to 6 p.m., Monday through Friday. Because there are no scheduled classes, pick up and drop off will be staggered. Outdoor activities for children will take place in the front of the building on a designated lawn area. The building itself and the distance of the lawn area from the neighboring residential uses will provide a significant buffer between the outdoor areas the residential uses to the north and west.
12-13-16 BOA Minutes December 13, 2016 Page 2 of 12 The applicant plans to redevelop the site and create a 34 space parking lot; 5 spaces (or approximately 475 square feet) will be located forward of the front setback line along Linden Avenue. The site has adequate parking for the child care use. The Plan Commission considered the request for the Conditional Use Permit at its November 7, 2016, meeting and voted unanimously to recommend approval to the Board of Aldermen. Staff recommendation is to approve a Conditional Use Permit for Kol Rinah to allow five parking spaces to be located in the front yard area along Linden Avenue and to allow the operation of an approximately 3,300 square foot child care center on the first floor of the building, pursuant to the stipulations and conditions listed in the attached resolution. Gary Feder, Attorney, Husch Blackwell, addressed the Board on behalf of the applicant. Alderman Garnholz asked for clarification on the five (5) parking spaces as referenced in the resolution, Section 2, (3) Approximately 1/5 (5 spaces) of the 34 space surface parking lot may be located in the front yard area fronting Linden Avenue. Mr. Feder stated that he believes that the plan that was submitted indicates that on the Linden Avenue side (front yard) there are five spaces.
