Site Plan&Use <br /> For over three years, CW has searched for a property to establish a permanent home for our <br /> community.However,it has been challenging to find an ideal site in the Plymouth area. In 2020, <br /> CW expanded its search to include Long Lake. We toured the building located at 2190 Wayzata <br /> Boulevard West and immediately felt it was a perfect setting for CW.The building is the ideal size <br /> and the open layout is perfect for renovating into large beautiful areas for children. <br /> If our plan is approved,we intend to increase natural features such as landscaping at the entrance, <br /> allowing for more greenspace and expanding space for our children's outdoor environment to give <br /> them the opportunity to explore in nature. Our approach to childcare favors natural beauty, and <br /> we would ensure any upgrades enhance the aesthetic of the site. <br /> We anticipate maintaining the parking as it will allow families and staff to park.We want to create <br /> a crosswalk and install yield and stop signs to ensure children and family safety. <br /> Our hope is to maintain our original hours of operation from 7:30 AM to 6:oo PM, Monday <br /> through Friday. Each classroom will have low shelving and furniture in order to be easily <br /> accessible to the children.We use natural wood,light colors,plants and art alongside our learning <br /> materials to create a harmonious and calm aesthetic environment. We will create an office area <br /> for the Administration Team and a staff lounge for staff and their personal belongings.We intend <br /> to provide a larger gross motor space for children to use during adverse weather conditions, a <br /> separate laundry room to avoid noise level during the children's work cycle, and a separate <br /> accessible kitchen to store and provide snacks without disturbing the children's work cycle. <br /> If possible,given the site constraints of the site,we want to convert part of the space in the rear of <br /> the building to planters or a small garden for children to tend during our Summer Program.We <br /> envision a small sand area for sensory play. For our playground, we plan to add playground <br /> equipment that would have a natural aesthetic with wood tones to encourage the children to be <br /> active and playful. This will also include a fenced surrounding for safety procedures to meet the <br /> code requirements of the City of Orono. <br />
