Minutes Planning Commission 1/25/84 Mrs. Swank asked the Commission if it was okay if from time to time she could watch children on the weekends and/or evenings. She said her license for six allows her this flexibility. Chairman Jamieson said he didn't feel this would be a problem if there are not over six in the evening. Mrs. Swank indicated she did not intend to have six children in the evening. Chairman Jamieson asked where the children would be in inclement weather. Mrs. Swank said she has a large family room which can accommodate 12 children. They intend to fix up the garage if it meets with the approval of the State, County, Fire Department, etc. so that they can ride their bicycles and have active play during bad weather.
