Chair Harms opened the hearing and requested Kim Lee provide a summary of the staff report of April 9, 1998. Kim Lee described the request to expand the school by 4,800 square feet. The parking area would be expanded in the front and the play area reduced in size. The existing building is painted brick with monsard. The addition must match the existing building in design and materials. The staff and applicants recommended approval of the request for an amended conditional use permit to allow the expansion of a day care facility at 1875 Perimeter Drive, with the following conditions: 1. The site must be developed in accordance with the site plan submitted and approved in conjunction with the request for an amended conditional use permit. Minor variations from the approved site plan may be approved by the City's Development Review Committee, under the direction of the Community Development Director; however, any substantial departures from the approved site plan will require an amendment to the conditional use permit. 2. The exterior elevations of the building must be modified to tie the existing building and the addition together architecturally, as approved by the City's Community Development Director. The exterior finish of the addition must conform to the general appearance of the existing building; however, painted brick will not be allowed on the addition. 3. Final grading and utility plans must be reviewed and approved by the Public Works Director. Since the site is less than 2.5 acres in size, it is unlikely that on- site ponding will be required by the Rice Creek Watershed District; however, the applicant will need to contact the District for permit requirements, 4. Site development and operation of the day care facility must comply with the applicable requirements of the City Code, including Chapter 1010 (Design Standard Regulations), 5, Sidewalk shall be installed along the front of the property, at the applicant's expense, in conjunction with site development as required by Section 1012.07 of the City Code. Pedestrian access must also be provided from this sidewalk to the front door of the building via a paved pedestrian surface, 6. A minimum of four street trees shall be planted in conjunction with site development in accordance with the City's Street Tree Master Plan. Trees to be planted shall be Skyline Honeylocust or Imperial Honeylocust, a minimum of 2%- inches in caliper, and be spaced 20 feet on center. 7. The applicant shall record the approved conditional use permit with the Ramsey County Recorder prior to the issuance of any building permit or within sixty days of approval, whichever is fess (Section 1013.01 of the City Code). 9
