The remainm' g 71 feet will be platted as an outlot and at some point in the future may be replatted with Lot 5 to accommodate development plans for that parcel. Commissioner Deemer stated he would like to see Jasper Street constructed on Outlot C, between Sunwood Drive ahd 143rd Avenue, with the utilities under it. He noted it would be of great savings to the City. Mr. Jankowski responded that the easement area is encumbered with utilities, and it is unlikely that anything othe~ than a roadway will be constructed there. He explained that the value of that section of roadway will b~come more apparent as traffic is generated within that area.

Case #12: Request for Site Plan Review; Case of Children's World Daycare Zoning Administrator Sylvia Frolik stated the site is a commercial parcel on the west side ofT.H. ~47. She explained the facility is 8,600 square feet in size, and will have access from a private drive along the west property line that runs between County Road/ti 16 and 142nd Avenue N.W. The proposed project meets City Code r~uirements for zoning, lot coverage, setbacks, design and number of off-street parking spaces and drivewa~ys, screened waste enclosure, and lighting. Ms. Frolik explained the exterior walls of the daycare are pro, posed to be finished with vinyl siding and brick veneer. City Code requires a 20 foot wide landscaped ~ea adjacent to all public roads which, in this case, is T.H. #47, and wilt be met, as the play area is green apace. Commissioner Jensen asked for clarification regarding the access. Ms. Frolik outlined that the access was through a private drive running south and north between County Road #116 and 142nd Avenue N.W., and a right-in only from T.H.//47 on an east/west extension of the private drive. Commissioner Thorud asked what the capacity of the daycare was. Bill Bartolic, Rosewood Construction Servi~s Corporation, stated the capacity was 146 children. Commissioner Jensen asked about the vinyl and brick exterior walls. Mr. Bartolic explained that the brick veneer will be on the lower 36 inches of the wall with vinyl siding above it. Chairperson Bawden asked Ms. Frolik to comment on the exterior wails. Ms. Frolik explained that City Code restricts exterior wall finishes to be stone o:r stone panels in the B-l, B-2, and B-3 districts. Commissioner Jensen asked ifv/nyl siding was acceptable in place of stone. Ms. Frolik explained that City Council has approved this in the past. Planning Commission/August 6, 1996 Page 11 of 20
