Planning Commission Minutes April 23, 1991 Page 4 . Brian Moran raised the question of why the church was asking for a 59 child daycare instead of the 100 they had originally requested. David Markese, Senior Pastor, addressed Mr. Moran's concern. He stated that a 59 child daycare was chosen because of the current facility size and in order to have a manageable staff to student ratio. Chairman Johnson closed the public hearing. Commissioner Eberley stated that she doesn't see how things have changed a great deal from the original request last fall. The conditional use permit is issued to the property and not the management. There has been a lot of concern with the outstanding stipulations from the previous conditional use permit. She also felt that traffic generated with a 59 child daycare would be too excessive for the site. Commissioner Schroeder was in agreement. Commissioner Bischoff stated that he would feel comfortable approving this request if the church had been in compliance with their existing condi tional use permit. He would also like to see the number of children reduced. He stated that he had visited the site and was concerned with clean-up regarding the batteries and furniture stored outside. . Commissioner Eber ley questioned staff on the safety concerns relating to additional traffic that was raised at the last meeting. Steve Rohlf, Building and Zoning Administrator, stated that staff did look into the traffic concerns regarding the intersection of Lowell and 194th Avenue. A stop sign did go in at 194th. Chairperson Johnson stated that she was also concerned with this request especially when there was so much concern from the public.
