Dear Amy Gottschamer,

 

The Lawrence-Douglas County Metropolitan Planning Commission at their meeting on Wednesday, November 17, 2004 voted to forward the above-referenced item to the City Commission with a recommendation for approval, subject to the following conditions:

 

1.      Execution of a Site Plan Performance Agreement.

 

2.      Provision of a copy of an approved license from the Douglas County Health Department prior to operation of the child care facility. (Submit the copy to the Lawrence Planning Department and reference file UPR-10-05-04.)

 

3.      The use permit is for a Child Care Center for a maximum of 55 children under Googols of Fun’s direct supervised care in the facility at any one time.

 

4.      The existing building will require a supervised fire alarm system to the approval of the City Fire & Medical Department, which must be zoned to show an activation at Googols of Fun.

 

5.      The permit will be administratively reviewed by the City in 5 years (Calendar Year 2010).

 

6.      The permit will expire at the end of 10 years (Calendar Year 2015), unless an application for renewal is approved by the local governing body.

 

7.      Provide “One-way”, “Do not enter” signage at ends of the truck delivery lanes and provide appropriate gate/barriers and “Caution children crossing” signage, between Googols of Fun and the outdoor playground area.

 

8.      Design the support for the play deck and safety fencing so as not to obstruct stormwater flow, to the approval of the City Stormwater Engineer.

 

9.      Provide the following note on the site plan, “A building permit is required for the outdoor play area and elevated play deck from Neighborhood Resources.”

 

10.  The outdoor play area may be used only during daylight hours.

 

The Use Permit upon Review is tentatively scheduled to be placed upon the City Commission’s regular agenda of December 14, 2004.

If you have any questions, please contact me at 832-3153.

Sincerely,
