,. , e Planning Office Hours • October 29, 1986 � Page 4 • 9. Learnin Tree 636-4390 Brent Krause, of Construction 70, was in with Randal Pederson to discuss the development of a new Learning Tree facility (day care center) north of County Road B-2, westerly of Rice Street. They presented a plan which indicated the facility would fitpverymnicelyS1on the site. The building will be designed for one hundred and twenty-five children, with twenty-two parking stalls. The twenty-two stalls are substantially mare than the existing Learning Tree facility near Fairview and B. � We r�viewed procedures and requirements for a Special Use Permit which is required for a day care center in the B-2 District. ��. Dorso, 633�2�72 Tony Dorso was in with Cliff Yentes, both of D�rso Traile� Company, ta discuss the disposition of the bumper storage operation th�y are conducting on a piece af land 100 feet by 120 feet at the north edge of their property at the sou�h- east corner of Count;� Road C--2 and Cl�veland. T noted the results of our research done by Craig Waldron itemizinc� the dates of construction, use of the land, and storage of humpers. It is clearly not a"nonconforming use" inasmuch as the building itself was completed and occupied after th� buildi.n�g ordinance was adopted in May of 1959. The bumper storage began about 1974. mr. Dorso was intexested in some arrangem�nt wh�reby he could continue to store the bumpers for a reasonable period of time, inasmuch as he is paid $500.00 a m�nth for tha� service. He notes that the trailer business i,s "lousy," and the additional income allows them to better keep up �� property, etc. I suggested maintaining the bumpers as is without a fence until June of 1987. �Ie was znterested i� screening the area with a fence, and keeping i.t lonc�er. I suggested the spending of additional money would on�y make it more imperative to keep it locked, and tMat a total �encing job would be relatively expensive. Mr. Honchell noted that the City has excess fill resulting trom the excavation of �he ponding area on the other side of the freeway, and tha� perhaps we could build a berm along the north side of the property screening the buffer area, and providing a future buffer to the warehousing north of County Road C-2 in this area. I r�viewed this idea with Mr. Dorso, �nd put him in touch with the contra�tor as a means to get�ing a"free" screen built, although he would likely have to do some finish grading and seed the berm. � Mr. Honchell's consultation with the manager suggests that a one year extension would be appropriate under these condi- tions. Mr. Dorso will be getting in touch with the Engineering Department, pending his call to the contractar, to submit a plan f or permit purposes.
