Dr. Beadles called the meeting to order at 7:00 P.M. The minutes of the April 12, 2005 meeting were approved as prepared on a motion by Mr. Day, second by Mr. Gott and unanimous vote.
Chairman Beadles announced that Items #3 and #7 had been withdrawn by the applicants.
#1 CU-05-03 Divine Wisdom Childcare requests conditional use approval to locate a general day care in a C-2 Downtown Fringe Commercial District. The subject property is at 528 West Monroe Avenue.
Pastor Simmons is proponent for this item. Mr. Simmons is requesting conditional use approval to locate a day care center in a C-2 zone. A smaller version of the day care center is currently located on Bridge and Creath but can only serve 19 children. Mr. Simmons stated that he is getting many requests from parents but does not have the room and has to turn people away. The City Planner stated that the subject property looked like a good location because pick-up and drop-off of children could take place away from the street, there is plenty of parking, and part of the parking lot can be fenced for a play area. Mr. Harris also said this was a mixed use area with single family, rental property, as well as commercial uses near the building. There is also an eight unit apartment building nearby, as well some vacant lots. Mr. Vance made a motion to approve, Mr. Gott seconded, and there was a unanimous vote for approval.
