Public Hearing Regarding Carol Breslin of Breslin & Breslin, LLC Petition for Conditional Use Permit to Allow Child Care Center at 320 S Wisconsin Street: President Goodman opened the public hearing at 6:31 p.m. Carol Breslin explained that she purchased the property at 320 S Wisconsin Street in October of 2016. The conditional use permit that the previous owner had obtained for a child care center had the stipulation in the motion that there would be no activities conducted outdoors. Breslin has operated under this condition, but would like to add a state-licensed child care option to the business. The child care center would operate from 6:00 a.m.- 6:00 p.m. Monday through Friday, and the Tiny Tots would operate on Saturday and Sunday. A licensed child care center is required to include outdoor activity, so she is asking that the conditional use permit be approved without the previous restriction regarding outdoor activities. One citizen spoke in favor of the child care center. As there were no other comments, President Goodman closed the public hearing. 6. Plan Commission Recommendation Regarding Petition for Conditional Use: Plan Commission suggested Breslin consider installing a mesh insert that would provide more privacy to the existing fence. They inquired about employee parking and drop-off parking. Breslin explained that she will make it her policy that her employees will park on the side streets, leaving the space in front of the building for drop- off parking.  MOTION (Williamson/Strasburg) to recommend approving the conditional use permit to allow a child care center at 320 S Wisconsin Street. PASSED, without negative vote. President Goodman explained that the recommendation would be considered by the Village Board at the next regular meeting. 7. Adjourn:  MOTION (Strasburg/Williamson) @ 6:43 p.m. PASSED, without negative vote. Joan Drehmel, Deputy Clerk Village of Fall Creek Minutes of Public Hearing & Plan Commission Meeting May 9, 2018
