Discussion: Commissioner Braiman requested that the Village staff thoroughly review all plans for the project to ensure that the project will be built as approved by the Plan Commission, concerning building heights and other important details. Commissioner Rhodes noted that Arlington Toyota is closer to Old Arlington Heights Road than other auto dealerships, so special attention is needed concerning landscaping and building appearance. The vote on the motion was as follows: AYES: Krug, Rhodes, Howard, Braiman, Charlette NAYES: None ABSTAIN: None ABSENT: Goldspiel, Rubin, Rosenston The motion passed: 5 to 0 1 Child Day Care - Zoning Ordinance Amendments. v Mr. Pfeil reviewed the revised draft of the proposed amendments, as noted in his memo of September 22, 1989. For both home occupation and special use day care, outdoor play is required to be in a rear yard. For special use day care, a Village business license would be required, and the special use would be valid for two years. A special use would be required for day care operations four to eight children. Commissioner Charlette said he is still concerned about the need for liability insurance. Commissioner Braiman said perhaps the Village could require a special use applicant to show evidence that they are insured, with a stipulation that the Village be notified if the insurance changes or lapses. Mr. Raysa noted that the Village would not be liable if a special use were granted to an individual who did not have insurance. Commissioner Braiman suggested that Section 17.28.060.B.5.b. concerning employee parking should be combined with item g. in the same section. He also suggested that even day care provided as a home occupation should have a Village business license. This would disclose the day care use to neighbors and prospective home buyers in the area. Mr. Raysa said he thinks home occupations are not businesses, so a license should not be required. Barbara Kozlowski, 605 S. Patton, said the State strongly recommends that a licensed day care home operator obtain insurance, but it is not required. She said an operator is required to have the name of the insurance company and agent for each child in the home. Commissioner Rhodes said the proposed ordinance is generally acceptable, but allowing outdoor play as early as 6:00 a.m. is not advisable. Mrs. Kozlowski replied that children come to her home at 7:00 a.m. , and breakfast is served. Outdoor play does not begin until after breakfast. Mr. Raysa noted that the Special Use standards in Section 17.28.040 of the Zoning Ordinance give an objector ample opportunity to cite reasons that a special use should not be approved. The Plan Commission concurred that a public hearing should be scheduled for consideration of the proposed amendments.
