Sessic~ 1499, ~ Page 4 July 10, 1989 ments of State licensing and shall be duly licensed by the Stat~. 6. Afte~ January 1, 1991, the D~Ld~.S shall be occupied exclusively by Torah F£ep division of Torah Center/Midwest, Inc. and no portion of the shall be used by any other school or oz~/anization without the e~press ap- proval of the City Council under an amended site plan review. 7. The permit shall be issued to Torah Pr~p division of Torah Center/Midwest, /nc. and if the a~plicant discontinues as principal operator and user of the premises, the permit shall become null and void. Mr. Jonathan Spetr~r, 8210 Gannc~, representing the ~chool, came forward. He said the school would cu,~ly with all oonditlons, although he had a question about No. 5. ~he school has no day care, b~t does have a nurr~_ry school, and inquiry to the state elicieed_ the information that there were no licensing re- qui~,~J~ts for the nulls_ry. Mr. Ollendorff said the City was never sure which o~w~nizatlons required a license, so it always asks that organizations meet the state states-ds even if no license is required. Mr. Spetner said the school would like to meet the state sta~4a~ds. Mrs. Schuman said tb~ state has an excellent accreditation program for nursery schools, and the school might eventually wish to put itself through the pro- ~£~n. Mr. Spetner said the school was aware of this and working on it. Mr. Adams noted that Durbin-Durco Construction Co~,t~any will be in the building with the school for the next 18 months, and he wished to know if the building will still be taxed. Mr. Ollendorff said if Durbin-Durbo is paying rent, then the b,n~llding will be on the tax rolls during this period of time. Mr. A~ms asked if it is necessary for the City to assure that there will be no residen- tial es~hlisP~ent in this structure. Mr. Spetner said there were no plans for that since all children attending the school are local, with about 95% fJ.'..LL University city. Mr. Schooner pointed out that would be covered under the re~,~m~ent for an amended site plan if changes are contemplated. }~. Schoc~er moved approval includ/ng all conditions. Mrs. Thu~son seconded the motion. Mr. Hams asked for clarification of the tax issue during the period Durbin~ Durco continues to use two-thirds of the building. Mr. 011endorff said the city will do everything within its leg-al power to make certain the building does not go off the tax rolls during that time, but he could not assure Mr. A~ams it would not. Mrs. Schuman asked if the easement providing ingress through the church prop- erty was permanent. Mr. Spetner said there were two easements, beth of which have been insured by the title c~any as permanent. In response to Mr. Price, Mr. Ollendorff said before the building can be taken off the tax rolls, the owner must make application for tax-ex~t status, and the City would fight this as long as t~ere w-as a profit-making venture on the pre~,-dses. O Responding to Mr. A~a~, Mr. Spetner said his organization would like to begin school in late August. He noted that the organization had an agreement with
