Planning File 649.71 - James Leidich request for special use pennit and variance to setback at 1173 '~st County Road B Presentation Mr. Bob Benson, Vice President, Social Dynamics Corporation, presented four important aspects of his fiDm's application. 1. The need for child care services. There are, according to the 1970 census, 3,000 children'wder the age of 5 years residing in Roseville, thereby creating a definite need for the services provided by the Learning Tree Day Care Center. Mr. Benson stated that in 1950 approximately 22% of mothers were in the labor force; whereas, in 1970 that figure had increased to 42%. 2. Appropriateness of Location. The location was chosen because it is a central- ized convenient location on an arterial thoroughfare. 3. Consistancy of the plan with the character of the neighborhood. TIle proposed structure and site development will be as consistent with the neighborhood as possible. The building will be constructed by Ban-Con Corporation and all attempts will be made to make it pleasing to the eye. The company hopes to design the site for the good of the neighbors and the children. A red wood fence will be used to enclose the entire play area. Mr. Benson indicated that the operating characteristics of the school would include daytime activities only, strict supervision by staff members and the fact that the children will be arriving and leaving at various times of the day, therefore, causing little traffic problem. 4. Resources of the fiDm. The finn, Social Dynamics, is currently operating two Learning Tree Centers, one in Bloomington and one in Robbinsda1e. We have experienced a fine reception by the parents and are currently operating at full capacity in both locations. We have gotten along quite well with the neighbors in both locations. We have a good management team consisting of people of varied backgrounds, including business, education, and public life. We are also operating from a sound financial basis. Discussial Mr. Kellett inquired as to what the ultimate capacity will be for the day care center. Mr. Benson responded that the state would probably pennit them to have between 1l0.ll5 children. Mr. Kellett asked how many adults would be involved at full capacity. Mr. Benson replied that state law requires one adult for every 10 children.
