'" LEGAL REQUIREMENTS: Section 11-l30(d) allows day nurseries and nursery s~hools by special ,permit in ,an R-3 district. APPARENT OWNERS WITHIN 200 FT.: 39 I PLANNING DISCUSSION: The applicant proposes to put two ground flo()r apartments, located as shown on the attached map, to use as a Montessori school and day care center.. They will be licensed for up to 30 children and will have up to three staff members at the school. At least one, and possible two, of the staff members will live in the apartment complex.. The facility will function as a school until mid-afternoon and then as a day care center until about 6 PM.. In addition to the apartments, the school will use the adjacent play area in the center of the buildings for outdoor play.. Theptincipal problem associated with the request is ensuring that there ar\e adequate parking areas available for parents who are dropping off'or picking up children so that there is no parking in fire lanes. The parking area west of the building at 1219 - 10th Street NW and the area on 8th Street NW south of Bldgs. 1291 and 1273 would seem to be the best locations. The latter entrance has the defect of routing people through the recreation building and past the swimming pool. Efforts will have to be made to ensure that the doors in the recreation building are open and that children are escorted. Parking spaces in both locations should be posted for the exclusive use of the school during its hours of operation. Notice of the Public Hearing was posted in all buildings at Polynesian Village. Planninq Commission Consideration (February 19, 1974): Marsh Everson appeared representing the applicant. He briefly expla)ined their operations and showed slides of their schools. In reply to Daniels' question about the need for the play area to be enclosed, fir. Everson stated that the proposed play area has been approved by the state.
