	Jeff Ferweda was present to present the project. He explained they will use the
	existing structure, just changing the inside. They will fence the back area for a
	play area, and will have a maximum of 30 children.
	Chairperson Curtis opened comments to the audience.
	1. Don Rose, 1214 W. Vienna Rd. said he is next door to the proposed day care and
	there is already a day care across the street. He said he built there for the peace and
	quiet, and if his lawn mower throws a rock and hits a kid he will be liable. He also
	said the property lines are not correct and he wants them defined before this project
	goes any further.
	Sheila Lash spoke and told Mr. Rose that when he is mowing she will keep the kids
	inside. She also said that all the kids will be gone by 6:00pm and that she is
	licensed for a maximum of 35.
	Mr. Rose said that he is used to the peace and quiet and people will be there at
	6:00am and that is too early.
	Chairperson Curtis opened comment to the Board.
	1. Doug Chilson asked Mr. Rose if he planned to get a survey and was told yes.
	2. Dale Frappier asked about the ingress and egress and asked if people easily turn
	around to head out on Vienna Rd. Jeff Ferweda said yes there was enough room.
	3. Kathy Ridley told Mr. Rose that the new Master Plan will have his area as
	residential, but now it is C-2 and this type of business is allowed.
	4. Bob Palmer said this type of business is regulated by the State and that no site
	plan is required. He said they are not doing any changes to the building, but should
	be required to enclose the dumpster.
	5. Vernon Curtis asked if there would be a problem with someone trying to go out and
	someone else trying to get in at the same time. Jeff Ferweda said the drive was 15'.
	6. Gery Giltinan said although it was zoned C-2 it didn't seem like a good place for
	a day care.
	Motion by Ranger, seconded by Garner to approve the Special Land Use for Sheila
	Lash with at least an 18' driveway and an enclosed dumpster. Roll call vote. All ayes,
	motion carries.
	Kathy Ridley said that Mr. Rose might be disappointed with this decision but right
	now the property is zoned C-2 and this is a better choice than a store.
	Aric Watts, 11427 Colonial Woods Dr. spoke about a site plan being changed
	after rezoning, and if they would have to come back to the Planning Commission.
	Charlie Calkins, 12447 Field Rd. said thank you to the Board. All the residents had
	a voice at the meeting two weeks ago and he thinks the Board listens.
