Consideration of a Special Use in the Industrial District (1) to open Child Care Center at 1390 Busch Parkway Associate Planner Binder provided an overview of the special use request, and the anticipated operations of the after school tutoring program. He indicated that staff is in support of the request. The Real Estate Broker, Anna Linscheid and the petitioner,Tatiana Khatamova were sworn in. Linscheid indicated that the tutoring business would be operating the opposite hours of most other businesses in the multi -tenant building. She noted there is plenty of parking available at this location and the use will complement the community. Khatamova stated the business will aim to assist in the growth and development of kids and their families. Com. Richards asked what the proximity of the brewery is to the after -school tutoring facility and if it would impede the liquor license. Binder indicated that Liquid Love Brewing is in the building to the south on the opposite end of the property. Attorney Brankin noted that the use in question does not have any location restriction in relation to a brewery. Com Richards asked how many students are anticipated? Linscheid stated there would be 4 kids per classroom with a total of 3 classrooms. Khatamova stated that the subjects offered will be math, art, and language. Com Richards asked the petitioner to walk through the parking demand. Linscheid indicated that there are so many parking spaces available during the day and the hours of the use are complementary to the other uses in the center. Com Au asked if there is an existing location or if this would be the first? Linscheid stated yes, they have a waiting list of students and are currently renting a small space that they have outgrown. Com Moodhe asked if they would anticipate people waiting in the parking lot? Linscheid stated that would not be ideal. We think parents will want to run errands while the kids are in class. Com Spunt asked about the dance studio next door, and if they thought that use could disturb their classes? Linscheid responded that they do not anticipate it will be an issue and hope they will complement one another. Com Worlikar asked about the student to staff ratio and number of students. Linscheid stated 1 staff member would be assigned to each classroom. To begin they will have 4 staff with 3-4 students per classroom. Com Saxena asked for clarification of the use and whether it is a tutoring location or childcare facility. Linscheid responded that it is an afterschool program offering math, art and language tutoring. The village staff report was entered into the record as Exhibit 1. At 7:46pm the public hearing was closed. Com Richards made a motion to recommend approval of the special use for a child care center at 1390 Busch Pkwy, subject to the conditions listed in the staff report. The motion was seconded by Com Worlikar. The floor was opened for commissioner discussion. Com Moodhe indicated that he remembered when the dance studio came forth for their special use request and the location of the brewery was discussed.
