ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING MINUTES FOR FEBRUARY 16, 1999 Van Zomeren presented the staff report. She said the applicant is requesting a conditional use permit to operate a day care center for 45 children in a building that was previously approved for 60 children and 10 day care providers. The previous day care center ceased operation in October 1997 and a new conditional use permit is required. Van Zomeren said the site meets all the requirements under the code for a day care facility. They would be allowed an identification sign not to exceed 12 square feet. The staff recommendation is to limit the number of enrollees to 45 children at one time. The number of staff should correlate based on the licensing. The applicant should provide the hours of operation and the applicant is in the process of obtaining a license from the Department of Human Services. She said it is anticipated that this building will be removed when construction begins on Highway 12. Kristin Jacques stated they want a maximum of 60 children, not 45. The children will range in age from 33 months to age 11. Hawn asked if the parking requirements would change with a maximum of 60 children.

Jacques stated there will be three shifts and six staff present at one time. Van Zomeren said parking would not be a problem. She asked about the ratio of children and staff.
