Chair Pearce inquired if the ESL students are given directions and instructions regarding the flow of parking and pre-school instruction. Ms. McIntosh replied that they coordinate with the ESL, who adjusted their class schedules to accommodate the pre-school schedule. She noted that the ESL students park a little farther up the front, and the pre-school is in the back. THE PUBLIC HEARING WAS CLOSED. Commissioner Olson noted a couple of typographical errors in Exhibit A and requested the following changes: Condition No. 6 : “Pre-school children shall be escorted into theand out of….” Condition No. 7: “UP-98-20” to “UP-97-20.” Ms. Decker indicated that “UP-98-20” in Condition No. 7 is accurate. Commissioner Olson withdrew his request to amend that condition. Commissioners Narum moved to make the required conditional use findings as listed in the staff report and to approve Case PCUP-239, subject to the conditions listed in Exhibit A of the staff report, with the typographical correction in Condition No. 6 as noted by Commissioner Olson, and a modification to Condition No. 8 to change the number of outdoor play sessions from 30 to 28 for the morning/afternoon and summer session. Commissioner Olson seconded the motion. Commissioner O’Connor inquired why the number of outdoor sessions was being reduced from 30 to 28 children. Commissioner Narum replied that she has concerns regarding noise and that fewer children will cause less noise. She added that she believed the applicant properly explained the number in their narrative. She stated that she felt it was reasonable that the applicant is asking for some flexibility and this is why she did not call it out for all three sessions. She noted that neighbors have voiced concerns with noise and that the request is an increase in the number of children. She stated that she felt it was a fair compromise to help the neighborhood situation. Commissioner Pentin stated that he disagreed with the amendment from 30 to 28 children as Shining Light is licensed for 48 outside on the playground. He noted that In Ms. McIntosh’s negotiation of the previous conditions for 30, she kept the number under 30, and he believed this was reasonable. He added that even with the increase in the number of students, they will still not exceed 30 children, and he supported 30 children. PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES, April 29, 2009 Page 6 of 8
