IV. SITE PLAN COMMENTS

With the exception of the following, site plan issues are deferred to the Board Engineer.

A. Items to be Discussed with the Board

  1. The Applicant is seeking preliminary and final site plan and conditional use approval to construct a 22,148-sf proposed 2-story daycare building for a maximum of 270 children (newborn to 6 yrs old) and 40 staff members in the NC – Neighborhood Commercial Zone. Confirming testimony should be provided.
  2. Per §244-56C(1) child-care centers, nursery schools and day-care centers is a permitted conditional use subject to the conditions of §244-114. The Applicant shall provide testimony to discuss the conditional use requirements listed under IIIB above. The architectural plans depict a 2-story building with the finished grade for the pedestrian access midway between the first-floor elevation and the second-floor elevation. Testimony shall be provided. Should it be determined that this condition is not met, then the Applicant may be required to appear before the Zoning Board of Adjustment for ‘d-3’ variance relief.
  3. The Applicant is proposing an outdoor play area with a 4 ft chain link fence and no gates are shown. The Applicant shall provide testimony to discuss the safety of the children. The play areas are adjacent to parking lots and have direct access to the parking lots. The plans shall be revised as necessary and details provided for any fences or gates proposed.
  4. The statement of operations indicates that “To administer pick-up and drop-off, parents will park in the parking spots at the front of the building and enter the day-care to either pick-up or drop-off their children”. The Applicant shall provide testimony to confirm that no buses are proposed to pick-up or drop-off children.
  5. The statement of operations indicates that “Loading and unloading for the deliveries will occur using the entrance at grade level in front of the building”. Based on the architectural plans it would appear that the front entrance is an emergency entrance with access to the stairway. What protections will be put in place to ensure the safety of the children? Testimony shall be provided.
