11, 1989 with regard to Day Care Centers as home CENTERS
occupations.
Bill Rothblum, 1128 Gail Drive, also spoke in favor of the
Village reviewing the ordinance with regard to increasing
the number of children allowed to be cared for in a h;ome.
With regard to the traffic, he stated that they only pick
the children up at night and drop them off in the morning,
so there is not a number of cars in and out of the home all
day.
Barbara Kozlowski, 605 Patton, who runs the Home Day Care in
question, stated that she believes it is important for home
day care to be available; she presented a petition which had
been signed by her clients and also her neighbors, in favor
of her being able to care for 8 children in her home.
President Clayton read the petition which was presented.
A resident of 625 Hawthorne, stated that he and his wife
both work, and have their children cared for by Barbara; he
noted that Barbara is licensed by the state and therefore the
state inspects the facilities, and his children are well
cared for by Barbara.
Mr. Elio of 595 Patton, stated that he is the one who
complained about the home day care facility, and stated that
it is too noisy for a neighborhood and should be in an area
that is zoned for business.
Another client stated that most of the children are there
for short periods of time because the parents are part-time
workers and the home daycare works much better than larg
er
g
business facilities for part-time care; she believes her
children are well taken care of by Barbara.
A client stated that there is always noise when children are
outside playing, and that is just part of playing in a
neighborhood; she stated that there are never more than 6
children at a time in the home.

7666
5/22/89
Several other people spoke in favor of the care given in
Barbara's home, and stated that there is a definite need for
this type of care.
President Clayton stated that what the Board would be
deciding tonight is whether or not an amendment to the
Zoning Ordinance should be considered.
There was then discussion as to whether or not Barbara could
continue to run her home day care until a change in the
ordinance is considered.
Trustee Shifrin stated that he recognizes the need for
quality day care; he believes the Village should take a look
at the ordinance, and perhaps staff should look into what
surrounding communities are doing with regard to he
situation right now; he would like to defer action until the
ordinance can be reviewed.
Mr. Raysa stated that action can be deferred if there is an
on-going investigation.
Trustee Shifrin believes the matter should be deferred to
staff for review and recommendation; he would like to defer
taking action on a specific ordinance while the review is
going on.
Trustee O'Malley stated that he does not see why Buffalo
Grove's ordinance should be any different than the state; he
thinks, if possible, Barbara should be allowed to continue
watching the amount of children she has been watching; he
thinks the Village should monitor the situation to make sure
that the ordinance is being complied with; he will do
everything he can to allow her to continue her home day
care, and see that the existing ordinance is changed to
comply with the state.
Trustee Reid stated that his neighbors are concerned with
some problems which could be raised; he thinks it is
appropriate to review the ordinance; he would like to refer
the matter to the Plan Commission for thorough review and
Public Hearings; he supports the review; he is not prepared
to condone total revision of our standards.
Trustee Glover agrees with Trustee Reid, and would urge
everyone to attend the Public Hearings; he is concerned
y g c c rned with
safety, parking, and welfare; he questions the number of
children that can be in a yard without being disruptive to
the neighbors; he stated that there is an ordinance on the
books which affects not only this property, but other
properties as well.
Maria Olekay, 8 Oak Creek, lives adjacent to Kilmer School,
which is much noisier with the playground and ball fields;
7667
5/22/89
she stated that Barbara's house is not noisy, and traffic is
not a problem.
Trustee Mathias stated that there is a need to look at the
ordinance.
Moved by Mathias, seconded by Glover, that the matter of
home day care be sent to the Plan Commission for Public
Hearing. Staff should initially make a review of what
neighboring villages are doing and come up with some
proposal as a starting point, along with the comments made
tonight.
Mr. Balling stated that he has received other complaints on
other locations.
President Clayton stated that residents should leave their
names and addresses so that everyone can be notified.
In response to a question about licensing the business, Mr.
Balling explained that we do not license home occupations,
since, if we did issue a license, it would be having a
retail business in a residential area.
Plan Commissioner Krug stated that the residents should be
notified of the Plan Commission workshops also.
