John Weicht and Jody Kreuser were present to request a conditional use permit for a daycare for 140 children on a two acre parcel of property legally described as that part of the SW-1/4 that lies Northeasterly of the centerline of C.S.A.H. #1. This conditional use permit is contingent on approval of a zone change request for the property. Jody Kreuser explained her plans to the Planning Commission. The daycare would hold 12 infants. Twenty-one toddlers and 60 pre-school children. She would like to rent out a portion of the building to Pauline Hanlon for First Step Pre-School. There would be a total of 18 employees. Adequate parking is shown on the plan and a drive would connect Proctor Avenue and County Road 1 to ease traffic flow. John Weicht stated that the building would be constructed as commercial steel with the size being 70 ft. x 100 ft. There would also be a 20 ft. canopy to protect people from the weather. Commissioner Temple questioned whether or not the building would be of a design to accommodate other uses. if the daycare no longer would have use for it. Mr. Weicht stated that it would be doubtful in this zone. Commissioner Temple then questioned if the point of the property would be used for overflow parking. Her question was answered positively and it was stated that the access to this seeded area is straight through the parking lot. This area cannot be accessed from Proctor or County Road 1 due to the grade of the ditch.
